Introduction The A5000 is the new entry-level model in Sony's range of compact system cameras. It's also currently the world’s smallest, lightest interchangeable lens camera with built-in wi-fi connectivity. Successor to last year's NEX-3N model, the Sony A5000 features a megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, BIONZ X processor, full HD AVCHD 60i/50i/25p/24p video recording, 3-inch 180° tiltable LCD panel with 460k-dot resolution, built-in pop-up flash, a zoom lever, 4fps burst shooting, 25-point contrast-detect autofocus system, 1,200-segment exposure meter, Auto Object Framing mode, a range of Picture Effects, NFC connectivity and 480 shot battery life. The Sony A5000 is available now in white, silver or black priced at around £420 / $ with the 16-50mm power zoom lens and £630 with the 16-50mm power zoom and 55-210mm lenses. Ease of Use The new Sony A5000 is virtually identical to its predecessor, the NEX-3N, the main design changes being a bigger handgrip and the relocation of the Playback button to the rear of the camera, while internally the main menu system has been completely revamped. Given the recent release of the Panasonic Lumix GM1, Sony are now marketing the A5000 as the smallest interchangeable lens camera with wi-fi in the world, weighing a mere 210g and measuring x x - and they've still retained the NEX-3N's built-in pop-up flash and 180-dgree tilting LCD screen. Despite weighing so little admittedly without the lens and battery fitted, the A5000 still feels solid gripped in the palm, though with a lens attached it's too large for most jacket pockets. It now has a taller, bigger grip than the NEX-3N with a subtle indentation near the top, which slightly improves your grip on the camera. With the supplied 16-50mm power zoom kit lens attached the Sony A5000 doesn't look or feel too top heavy, as the lens retracts back into itself when not in use, making for a very compact overall package. The 3 inch LCD screen can be tilted back and forward through a full 180° - if not, unfortunately swung outwards at 90° - to allow for low and high angle compositions we might not have attempted without. You can even fully turn it to the front, proving very useful for those ubiquitous selfies, although you can't close it inwards against the camera body to help protect it. The A5000 offers the High Definition video shooting of the rest of the NEX series, full HD AVCHD 60i/50i/25p/24p with stereo sound to be precise, which will be more than adequate for the A5000's target audience. It also features a useful dedicated red camcorder-style video record button for instant thumb-operated video access on the rear. Low light sensitivity without flash also theoretically looks set to show rivals a thing or two by ranging from ISO 100 to a maximum ISO 16000 equivalent setting. Impressive stuff, and matching the sort of spec we're used to seeing on mid-range DSLRs. There's no in-body image stabilisation offered by the A5000 unfortunately, so this is via the lens only. It appears to work well, at least as effectively as the in-camera or lens based anti-shake methodology deployed by rival brands. The A5000's design is pleasingly pared-back, particularly when viewed from the front. Sony branding and black plastic DSLR-style lens release button aside, all we find on the faceplate is a small porthole-shaped window for the AF assist/self timer lamp, and the revised handgrip with a dimpled surface for a firmer hold. Oh, and the "APS-C" moniker just in case you want to brag about the size of your sensor to your Micro Four Thirds friends. The top plate looks similarly functional rather than fashionable. The A5000 is turned on or off via a flick of a chunky, nicely rigid switch to the far right, rather than via the recessed button that we usually find on cameras with a small form factor. Do this and it's a wait of 1-2 seconds before an image materializes on the LCD allowing the first shot to be framed - slightly slower than we expected in this regard, and no match for a DSLR proper. One feature on the A5000 that's designed to make it more accessible to upgraders is a power zoom switch, very similar to that found on many compact cameras. This allows the 16-50mm kit lens to be zoomed in three different ways; using the zoom lever on top of the camera, which is good for one-handed operation, via the zoom ring on the lens, and finally using the zoom control on the side of the lens. If you don't have a power zoom lens attached, the the zoom lever less adjusts the digital zoom instead it that's enabled, and it can also be used to zoom during image playback regardless of the lens that's fitted. Underneath the On/Off switch is the thumb-operated dedicated movie record button. Press this and the user is instantly recording video, whatever alternative shooting mode might previously have been in use. Like the same control found on the Panasonic G-series and Olympus PEN cameras, this proves essential with regard to spur of the moment filming. Also positioned atop the camera is the integrated pop-up flash, positioned inline with the centre of the lens, which borrows a lot of design cues from the flagship NEX-7 model. Note that the A5000 doesn't offer an accessory port for attaching optional accessories like the FDA-EV1S electronic viewfinder or the ECM-SST1 microphone, unlike the more expensive NEX/Alpha models. Two small holes either side of the flash for the stereo sound complete the camera's top-plate. Press the shutter release button down halfway and, after a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment of focus/exposure adjustment, the AF point/s highlight in green accompanied by a beep of affirmation to indicate that the user is good to continue on and take the shot. Do so, and in single shot mode to the sound of a satisfying shutter click, a full resolution JPEG is written to memory in about 2 seconds. There is the option to also shoot Raw files, or even more usefully for those who wish to hedge their bets Raw and JPEG images in tandem. You also get Fine or Normal compression levels offered for JPEGs. Press the Menu button on the rear six icons appear on screen - Camera Settings, Custom Settings, Wireless, Applications, Playback and Setup. Choosing one of these opens a text-based menu system with with white text on a black background aiding visibility. The six Camera Settings folders allow users to select image size, ratio and quality and - if JPEG RAW and RAW+JPEG also available - compression rates too, plus features like long exposure and high ISO noise reduction - all in fact activated as a default, and also contains the video quality and audio options, while the four Custom Settings folders allow you to tweak the A5000 to your way of working. Just like Olympus and Panasonic, the Sony A5000 offers a range of creative Picture Effects, including posterisation, partial colour, retro, high-key, mono and toy camera. These effects can also be applied when using the Intelligent Auto shooting mode. The Soft Skin mode automatically retouches portraits, removing any minor blemishes and wrinkles for a more conventionally good-looking appearance. The Auto Object Framing mode uses face detection, By Pixel Super Resolution technology and the rule of thirds to automatically take better pictures of still lifes, moving subjects and macro close-ups. Sony's catchily named Pixel Super Resolution Technology ensures that the resulting image is still a full 20 megapixels in size, and the original uncropped image is also saved for easy comparison. The various shooting modes are rather inconveniently buried away as the first option in the Camera Settings menu, including standard P,A,S,M, 9-strong scene mode, intelligent auto and Sweep Panorama modes. Even in Intelligent Auto mode users still have the ability to get hands on to a degree thanks to the Photo Creativity mode. This provides easy-to-understand control over a number of key parameters via a series of interactive on-screen sliders, with the real-time preview on the LCD providing instant feedback to the beginner target audience. In addition to controlling the background defocus, with a half moon shaped indicator appealing on-screen to the side of the scroll wheel, defocus at the bottom of the arc, 'crisp' at the top, you can also change the vividness, brightness and colour of the image, plus add a Picture Effect or the Soft Skin Effect, and set the self-timer and burst shooting options. You can even apply more than one option at a time and go back and individually change them if you wish. The A5000's external backplate is once again a sparse affair, the majority of it taken up by the 3-inch widescreen ratio angle-adjustable LCD that stretches from base to top plate. To the right of this are the main controls, with the aforementioned Menu button at the top. Underneath is a scroll wheel, used to move through the various menu options and make selections, which has its own central, unmarked set button. Th scroll wheel is quite responsive to the touch, which, on a positive note, means that tabbing through options is a swift process, but on the other hand it's easy to slip past the setting you actually wanted when hurrying through them as a photo opportunity suddenly presents itself. Set at the four points around this scroll wheel/pad are a means of adjusting the Display top, ISO Speed right the Exposure Compensation / Picture Effects bottom and the Self-timer/Drive mode options. Note that all of the buttons around the navigation wheel and the center button too can optionally be assigned to a custom function of your choice. Sitting alongside the self-explanatory dedicated playback/review button, the last button on the camera back provides a means of activating the Help function, which Sony no doubt hopes to provide a crutch for new users trading up from a bog-standard point and shoot compact. Examples of textual advice, complete with small pictorial thumbnail alongside, include 'increase the ISO sensitivity to make the shutter speed faster', and then, the thoughtful addition 'higher ISO sensitivity may make noise stand out.' Hand holding for those who want it then, while more experienced users can reconfigure the button to something more useful. As denoted by symbols on the side of the camera, the Sony A5000 is wi-fi and NFC capable and the functions can be adjusted in the Wireless main menu. You can choose to transmit the images to either a smartphone computer, or a compatible TV set. One cool feature of the wi-fi is being able to link the camera to your smart phone using the PlayMemories Mobile app. You can then use the phone as a remote so those outstretched arm 'selfies' will be a thing of the past. The A5000 also features NFC Near Field Communication technology the same technology that's used for mobile payments, which allows you to connect it to a compatible internet enabled device or another NFC-enabled camera by simply tapping them together. You can also use the WPS Push option to locate a hot spot, access settings, edit the device name, display the MAC address or format all settings if you wish. In addition to the built-in wi-fi/nfc connectivity, the A5000 supports PlayMemories Camera Apps. As the name suggests, this is a downloadable service that lets you add new functionality to the camera, either via wi-fi or USB connection. Smart Remote Control, which allows you to control the exposure and shutter release via your smartphone, is preinstalled on the A5000. Other optional apps available include Picture Effect+, Bracket Pro, Multi Frame NR, Photo Retouchand Direct Upload, and Sony plans to provide more new apps in the near future. Note that only some of the apps are free. Peaking is a feature that provides a level of hand-holding for manual focus users. When turned on to one of the three levels low, mid, high, this essentially draws a coloured line red, white or yellow around the areas of highest contrast in the image when you're manually focusing the camera. Used in conjunction with the magnified focus assist, this makes it a cinch to focus accurately on a specific part of the subject, something that the majority of digital cameras have struggled with. It can even be used in the movie mode, again providing a real boon to your creativity. At the base of the A5000 we find a metal screw thread for a tripod directly beneath the lens mount, and a compartment storing the rechargeable battery. The memory card slot is located on the left-hand side of the camera when viewed from the rear, here Sony reaching out to a wider audience by offering SD/SDHC/SDXC compatibility alongside its own Memory Stick. The left hand flank is also where users will find a covered port for HDMI connectivity and Sony's Multi port. Only the USB cable was provided with our review sample; there's no standard definition AV output. There's also a small built-in speaker for reviewing audio in the field on the bottom and protruding metal strap eyelets on either side of the camera. Image Quality All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 6Mb. The Sony A5000 produced images of excellent quality during the review period. The Sony A5000 has an extensive and very usable ISO range of 100-16000. ISO 100-800 is noise-free, whilst ISO 1600-6400 produces more than acceptable results, and even ISO 12800 and the fastest setting of 16000 are OK for emergency use. The RAW samples illustrate just how much processing the camera does by default, though, as they're much noisier at all ISO values than their JPEG counterparts. The 20 megapixel images are a little soft straight out of the camera using the default Standard creative style and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera sharpening level. The built-in flash worked well indoors with no red-eye and good overall exposure. The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds and the Bulb mode offering lots of scope for creative night photography. The effective Dynamic Range Optimizer function extracts more detail from the shadow and highlight areas in an image, without introducing any unwanted noise or other artifacts. The High Dynamic Range mode combines two shots taken at different exposures to produce one image with greater dynamic range than a single image would produce. It only works for JPEGs and for still subjects, but does produce some very effective results. Sony's now tried-and-trusted Sweep Panorama is still a joy to use. The 13 creative Picture Effects quickly produce special looks that would otherwise require you to spend a lot of time in the digital darkroom, while the 6 Creative Styles provide a quick and easy way to tweak the camera's JPEG images. Noise There are 8 ISO settings available on the Sony A5000. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting JPEG RAW ISO 100 100% Crop ISO 100 100% Crop ISO 200 100% Crop ISO 200 100% Crop ISO 400 100% Crop ISO 400 100% Crop ISO 800 100% Crop ISO 800 100% Crop ISO 1600 100% Crop ISO 1600 100% Crop ISO 3200 100% Crop ISO 3200 100% Crop ISO 6400 100% Crop ISO 6400 100% Crop ISO 12800 100% Crop ISO 12800 100% Crop ISO 16000 100% Crop ISO 16000 100% Crop Sharpening Here are two 100% crops which have been Saved as Web - Quality 50 in Photoshop. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are soft at the default sharpening setting. You can change the in-camera sharpening level if you don't like the default look. Original 100% Crop Sharpened 100% Crop File Quality The Sony A5000 has 2 different image quality settings available, with Fine being the highest quality option. Here are some 100% crops which show the quality of the various options, with the file size shown in brackets. Flash The flash settings on the Sony A5000 are Autoflash, Fill-flash, Slow sync and Rear flash sync, with Red-eye reduction available in the Main Menu. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of Flash Off - Wide Angle 18mm Flash On - Wide Angle 18mm Flash Off - Telephoto 55mm Flash On - Telephoto 55mm And here are a couple of portrait shots. Neither the Auto setting or the Red-eye reduction mode caused any amount of red-eye. Flash On Flash On 100% Crop Red-eye reduction Red-eye reduction 100% Crop Night The Sony A5000's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds and there's also a Bulb mode for even longer exposures, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds at ISO 100. Night Night 100% Crop Dynamic Range Optimizer D-Range Optimiser DRO is Sony's solution to improve shadow detail in photos taken in contrasty light. Off LV1 LV2 LV3 LV4 LV5 High Dynamic Range High Dynamic Range Optimiser HDR is Sony's solution for capturing more contrast than a single exposure can handle by combining two exposures into one image. Off Sweep Panorama Mode The Sony A5000 allows you to take panoramic images very easily, by 'sweeping' with the camera while keeping the shutter release depressed. The camera does all the processing and stitching and even successfully compensates for moving subjects. Creative Styles There are 6 Creative Style preset effects that you can use to change the look of your images. Standard Vivid Portrait Landscape Sunset B/W Picture Effects Just like Olympus and Panasonic, the Sony A5000 offers an extensive range of eleven creative Picture Effects.

Despite a slight price increase, the A5000 remains an excellent first "serious" camera for smartphone/compact camera upgraders. Looking and feeling very much like a compact camera, thanks to the combination of the finger-tip zoom lever and the 16-50mm power-zoom kit lens, the small and lightweight Sony A5000 is a great introduction to interchangeable lens cameras. Despite its diminutive size, the new A5000 still manages to retain its predecessor's built-in flash and 180-degree tilting LCD screen, although we're disappointed that the spec of the LCD hasn't been improved from 460K-dots. The new handgrip is a little easy to hold than on the NEX-3N, but not so much that you'd really notice. The built-in wi-fi and NFC connectivity, borrowed from the more expensive NEX-5T camera, make it straight-forward to share your photos and remotely control the A5000 itself, although there still aren't too many NFC-enabled devices around at the moment. Image quality is excellent, with results from the 20 megapixel APS-C sensor proving the equal of last year's 16-megapixel imager. Noise doesn't really rear its ugly head until ISO 3200 for JPEGs, although the A5000 does apply pretty aggressive noise reduction to keep the files clean, resulting in some loss of finer detail. The myriad of creative effect on offer such as HDR, Dynamic Range Optimisation, creative styles, the innovative sweep panorama mode and the range of in-camera Picture Effects help to get the most out of the A5000, especially if you like to experiment away from a computer. With an official price-tag of £420 / $500 with the 16-50mm kit lens, the Sony A5000 is a little more expensive than the previous NEX-3N model, but it still significantly undercuts the company's own high-end compact, the RX100 MK II, and is more than competitive with rival models.

Kekurangan Sony Alpha 5000 Berikut adalah beberapa kekurangan Sony Alpha 5000 yang saya rasakan selama menggunakan kamera ini beberapa bulan Tidak tersedia slot untuk mic eksternal, sedangkan mic bawaan itu jika di putar suara yang di hasilkan akan sangat kecil. Bisa diatasi dengan melakukan edit secara manual suara videonya pada saat editing tersedia dudukan untuk flash eksternal di bagian atas kamera walaupun sebenarnya kamera ini sudah dibekali dengan flash bawaan. Namun untuk beberapa foto dalam keadaan gelap tentu saja flash ini masih ditemui permasalahan overheating atau kamera mati dengan sendirinya akibat terlalu panas padahal baru digunakan beberapa wi-fi yang kurang maksimal terutama pada mode remote dengan menggunakan smartphone karena tidak bisa mengambil video hanya bisa digunakan mengambil foto.

Kelebihan Sony A5000; Kelebihan pertama kamera Sony A5000 yaitu dilengkapi dengan sensor Exmor APS HD CMOS 20.1 MP yang didukung oleh processor BIONZ X, sehingga membuat hasil foto Anda lebih jelas, tajam, serta warna yang jernih. ^{Kelebihan dan kekurangan Kamera DSLM Sony A6000 oleh Abang – Jika dibandingkan dengan kompetitornya, Sony memang paling terlihat agresif dalam menghadirkan inovasi produk kamera yang paling canggih pada kategori Digital Single Lens Mirrorless DSLM di tahun ini. Saat diperkenalkan pada ajang CP+ 2014, Mirrorless camera Sony A6000 memang ditujukkan untuk menjadi suksesor dari Sony NEX-6. Konsep Desain Kamera DSLM Sony A6000 Kelebihan Kamera Sony A6000Kekurangan Sony A6000Konsep Desain Kamera DSLM Sony A6000 Sony mungkin merupakan satu – satunya produsen kamera yang belum tertarik untuk mengikuti tren kamera dengan desain retro. Karena desain Sony A6000 masih tetap setia menggunakan konsep desain NEX-7 yang lebih terkesan futuristis. Salah satu buktinya yaitu dengan kehadiran dua tombol putar yang terlihat sejajar dan tampak rata. Tombol tersebut menggantikan tombol putar model tumpuk yang sebelumnya terdapat pada NEX-6. Kedua tombol tersebut merupakan tombol pemilihan untuk mode pemotretan P/S/A/M dan tombol pengaturan kompensasi eksposur yang juga dapat digunakan untuk mengatur diafragma serta kecepatan rana pada mode manual. Meski NEX-6 dan Sony A6000 membawa konsep peletakkan tombol yang berbeda, keduanya dapat digunakan dengan ukuran handgrip yang semakin besar, kamera Sony A6000 terasa lebih mantap saat digenggam. Hal tersebut membuat Sony A6000 menjadi sangat ideal saat digunakan bagi Anda yang mempunyai telapak tangan besar atau kecil. Tombol navigasinya juga mempunyai ukuran yang cukup besar dan diletakkan dengan baik serta mudah untuk dijangkau. Sama halnya dengan NEX-6, Sony A6000 juga menghadirkan jendela bidik viewfinder OLED. Namun, jendela bidik elektroniknya tidak sebaik Sony NEX-6. Resolusi jendela bidik pada Sony A6000 hanya 1,4 juta titik atau sekitar separuh dari jendela bidik yang dimiliki NEX-6 dengan kerapatan pixel lebih tinggi yaitu 2,4 juta titik. Meski demikian, visual yang dihasilkan pada viewfinder elektronik tersebut tetap jelas dan bisa diandalkan dalam beragam suasana. Pada sektor layar terdapat layar LCD berukuran 3 inci dengan resolusi 921,600 titik yang termasuk cukup standar. Kualitas tampilannya juga tergolong jelas dan terang, baik pada saat digunakan di dalam ruangan ataupun luar ruangan. Agar ekplorasi pada berbagai sudut pengambilan gambar dapat menjadi lebih mudah, maka layar Sony A6000 bisa dimiringkan ke arah atas atau bawah. Fitur Kamera Mirrorless Sony A6000 Sony A6000 memang datang dengan antarmuka yang baru seperti halnya pada DSLM Full Frame Sony A7. Namun, antarmuka menu tersebut tetap mudah saat digunakan dan akses ke setiap menunya juga yang tidak terlalu berlapis. Agar pengaturan kamera dapat lebih cepat, maka Sony A6000 menyediakan tombol pintas Fn yang dapat diakses langsung seperti halnya ISO, AWB, modus fokus otomatis autofocus, area fokus, ataupun metering. Tombol tersebut terbukti sangat membantu dalam melakukan pengaturan. Agar jangkauan lensa dapat lebih diperpanjang, maka Sony A6000 telah dilengkapi dengan fitur Clear Image Zoom dan juga Digital Zoom. Kedua fitur tersebut cukup berguna bagi Anda yang hanya mempunyai satu buah lensa atau lebih jika memerlukan jangkauan lebih panjang secara mendadak. Foto yang dihasilkan dengan fitur Clear Image Zoomnya juga tergolong cukup baik dengan ketajaman yang tetap terjaga. Bagi Anda yang senang bereksperimen dengan hasil foto namun tidak ingin mengolah foto melalui PC, maka tersedia beragam efek filter yang tentunya menarik. Seperti halnya dengan kamera digital Sony lainnya. Sony A6000 juga menyediakan fitur Sweep Panorama untuk membuat foto dengan ukuran ekstra lebar hanya dengan menggeserkan kamera. Namun, penggunaan efek filter dapat menambah konsumsi daya baterai sehingga akan semakin cepat habis. Sony A6000 juga mempunyai koneksi WiFi yang didukung dengan NFC. Performa WiFi yang dimiliknya saat ini memang tergolong semakin baik. Dengan menggunakan WiFi, hasil foto dapat dipindahkan langsung ke smartphone. Anda bahkan dapat membuat smartphone menjadi remote untuk mengendalikan A6000 melalui aplikasi Sony Play Memories Mobile. Saat menghubungkannya ke Google NEXUS 4 dengan menggunakan NFC, pemindahan foto dari kamera sony ini ke smartphone dapat dilakukan dengan cepat dan lancar. Saat memanfaatkan mode pemotretan jarak jauh, Sony A6000 mampu merespon tombol shutter yang ditekan melalui layar smartphone dengan waktu bidikan yang hampir tanpa jeda. Saat kamera digerakkan, tampilan pengganti viewfinder pada layar smartphone bahkan dapat mengimbangi gerakan kamera dengan cukup baik, tanpa adanya jeda yang cukup mengganggu. Namun, penggunaan mode WiFi ini terbilang cukup untuk meningkatkan konsumsi baterai. Sebagai solusinya, jika pengaturan WiFi tidak digunakan, maka Anda dapat mengalihkannya ke mode airplane agar tidak aktif. Performa Sony A6000 dibekali dengan sensor APS-C CMOS megapixel dan prosesor BIONZ X paling baru milik Sony A7 dan A7r. Dengan demikian, Anda dapat menjumpai pengaturan ISO dengan jangkauan yang tinggi, pengaturan ISO hingga ISO 25600, serta merekam video hingga format full HD 1080p. Tidak hanya itu, kamera Sony A6000 juga dapat memotret beragam aksi cepat dengan kecepatan pengambilan foto continuos hingga 11fps. Lensa standar 16-50mm yang dimilikinya membuat Sony A6000 mampu menghasilkan foto yang tajam dengan warna serta kontras yang akurat. Dynamic range serta performa AWB juga termasuk sangat baik ketika digunakan untuk memotret pada kondisi pencahayaan yang tidak menentu. Pada kondisi temaram, performa ISO pada Sony A6000 juga semakin baik dengan hasil fotonya yang cenderung minim noise namun tetap tampak tajam hingga ISO 6400. Sama halnya dengan NEX-6, Sony A6000 juga mempunyai flash dengan leher fleksibel yang arahnya dapat diubah hingga 90 derajat. Dengan menggunakan model flash tersebut, Anda tentunya dapat mengatur flash untuk mengisi cahaya fill in dengan lebih bebas sehingga pencahayaan yang dihasilkan akan terlihat lebih natural. Terlepas dari kemampuan kamera dalam menghasilkan foto yang oke, terdapat satu lagi keunggulan dari Sony A6000 yang sangat disukai yaitu autofokus yang sangat cepat. Teknologi autofocus Hybrid yang telah ditingkatkan membuat kinerja autofocus pada Sony A6000 saat ini terasa diatas rata – rata kamera DSLM di kelasnya. Hal yang cukup mengagumkan adalah kinerja autofocus a6000 yang tetap dapat bekerja dengan sangat prima pada kondisi pencahayaan apa pun juga. Untuk akurasi penentuan fokusnya juga termasuk sangat baik, karena dukungan jumlah titik fokus yang saat ini semakin bertambah hingga mencapai 179 titik. Jumlah titik fokusyang lebih banyak memang dapat membantu dan memungkinkan pengguna untuk dapat menentukan fokus pada 92% area yang ditampilkan di layar LCD atau jendela bidiknya. Namun, paduan kemampuan autofokus yang super cepat dengan jumlah titik fokus yang lebih banyak tersebut sebenarnya dapat lebih maksimal apabila juga didukung oleh layar sentuh. Dengan demikian, pengaturan fokus akan dapat dilakukan dengan semakin cepat. Anda hanya perlu memilih area pada layar tanpa harus melalui tombol navigasi. Kesimpulan Meski hadir dengan jendela bidik yang memiliki resolusi lebih rendah dari Sony NEX-6, namun Sony A6000 tetap lebih unggul dengan beragam fitur serta performa autofokus yang sangat cepat. Hasil fotonya juga termasuk sangat baik meski hanya memanfaatkan lensa kit yang dimiliknya. Tidak hanya itu, segi ergonomi serta kepraktisan pemakaian juga ikut ambil bagian menjadi salah satu faktor yang dapat dipertimbangkan saat ingin memilih Sony A6000. Bagi Anda yang merasa bosan dengan kamera mirrorless berdesain retro, maka Sony A6000 sangat direkomendasikan sebagai kamera DSLM pertama Anda. Sony A6000 dibanderol dengan harga sekitar 9,9 juta rupiah yang rasanya cukup sepadan dengan kualitas yang ditawarkannya. Kelebihan Kamera Sony A6000 Autofocus sangat cepat dan di atas rata-rata DSLM sekelasnya. Continuous shoot yang cepat. Hasil foto sangat baik. Tersedia NFC dengan koneksi WiFi cukup cepat. Desain ergonomis. Kekurangan Sony A6000 Tidak disertai dengan layar sentuh. Baterai relatif boros terutama saat WiFi aktif.}

SonyA5000 dijadwalkan akan mulai tersedia pada pertengahan Maret 2014 dengan harga mulai Rp 6 juta untuk versi kit dengan lensa 16-50 f/. Pihak Sony Indonesia belum mengumumkan informasi harga dan ketersediaan untuk A6000, tapi kamera tersebut dipastikan bakal hadir pada kuartal ke-2 2014.
