Sony a6000 vs Sony a6600

“That 200-600 is a solid lens. I use it too. But you're right to struggle, and it's not you. You're fighting the A6600's AF. It's just not as fast as the newer bodies for BIF. That's the honest reality. Two things to try: 1. That lens *needs* sunlight. At f/6.3, the AF hunts like crazy on dark days. 2. Don't use "Wide" focus. It's just guessing. Try **Tracking: Expand Spot**. Lock onto the bird *before* it moves. It gives the camera a fighting chance. And don't believe the hype you see online. My keeper rate is tiny. I'll shoot 300+ photos to get maybe 30 "keepers." That's just the grind.”

“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.”
