“There was a recent post that was upvoted to oblivion and contained some of the best photos of the year. Taken with an A6000 It’s the skill not the camera. Get it. Take photos.”

Top Criticism
+11 pts
“As a person who used the a6000 for 6 months and 2 weeks ago upgraded to the a6400, it really just depends on what you shoot. I sometimes shoot sports and notice that the AF on the a6000 is sheit, it really is. Tried to take photos of my friends go karting, performs really bad at it (now imagine shooting sports, jeez). Also cool features like the silent shutter and touchscreen, which i hated the idea of but realised how fast i can operate now, make the world. The noise is significantly lower and i can operate at 10k+ ISO without and doubts. Not to mention all of the extra features and modes that you can turn on that change the photography game.”
