Sony Alpha A6000 is the latest generation of Sony NEX-6, CSC which is very famous and managed to survive for more than four years in line with mirrorless cameras. This camera is equipped with a 24.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor sensor.
The sensor has an on-chip design without gapless, which is expected to increase the efficiency of light gathering. So that the results of Sony A6000 photos can be more leverage. The sensor also has 179 autofocus points, of which 179 are used for phase detection.
But 25 is also a contrast detection point for hybrid camera autofocusing systems. Sony also claims that this camera has the fastest AF system in the world. With the affordable price of the Sony A6000, you will be impressed with this best mirrorles camera from Sony.
Sony A6000 is successfully sitting in the ranks of Sony mirrorless cameras with a fairly complete set of features. Sony added a number of significant new features. Such as high resolution and sophisticated processor that was successfully paired on a Sony A6000 camera.
But of the many features that are carried, the AF Hybrid system has been updated to be the most prominent feature of the Sony A6000. Where the Sony NEX-6 has 99 phase detection points which cover about 50% of the sensor, while the Sony A6000 has 179 fas detection points with 92% coverage.
This sensor is then combined with the new Bionz X processor. Allows the camera to continuously shoot 11 fps with subject tracking. This is the ability most like by photography lovers.
According to Sony, another function promised by the Bionz X processor is 'Diffraction Reduction'. Where camera processing tries to correct the softness caused by diffraction when you stop the lens aperture down.
This processing may depend on the aperture and sound similar to elements of the Fujifilm Lens Modulation Optimization system (introduced in the X100S). Interestingly, the Sony A6000 has faster autofocus in just 0.06 seconds.
With the new hybrid autofocus system, which not only makes it easier for the camera to recognize objects, but also allows the A6000 to lock subjects and track them correctly. This autofocus greatly affects the results of Sony A6000 shots to be able to produce photography that has high artistic value.
The only disadvantage that the Sony A6000 can feel is that this camera still uses a low resolution, SVGA viewfinder and not its top-end XGA panel. But the change that is felt is on the sensor.
Sony A6000 uses a CMOS Sensor 'Exmor APS HD' with a resolution of 24 megapixels which has an on-chip phase detection like its predecessor. But this latest sensor covers a much larger frame area. So that the results of the Sony A6000 will look clearer and sharper.
If you like video shooting, this camera is also capable of doing wonders. Because Sony also carries the zebra pattern feature and can record Full HD AVCHD Ver.2.0 / MP4 videos at 1920 × 1080 / 60p and 24p. The A6000 also has a micro D type HDMI connection, providing a clean HDMI output for video recording.
Unfortunately this camera does not have a headphone jack to monitor audio even though the multi-interface hotshoe at least allows you to connect an external microphone. With the supporting features installed, how to use the Sony A6000 camera is also very easy.
In a short time you are able to operate the camera and adjust the controls quickly. To facilitate the setting of the Sony A6000, this camera is equipped with a 3.0 inch wide TFT LCD type that can be tilted smoothly to accommodate everything from low to high angle shooting.
In the connectivity section, the Sony A6000 is equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication) which makes it easy to display and share your Sony A6000 shots. Do not forget also the PlayMemories Camera Apps application that makes the camera smarter. You can also control the Sony A6000 from the Smartphone screen easily.
