Sony ILCE-6000 Alpha Digital Camera

Sony ILCE-6000 Digital Camera

Sony just announced the 24-megapixel, a6000 (model ILCE-6000) interchangeable lens camera, which claims the world’s fastest autofocus performance at just 0.06 seconds, capturing 11 frames per second at full resolution. The speedy new mirrorless camera is equipped with a APS-C Sensor, BIONZ X Processor, OLED Tru-Finder, with built-in Wi-Fi and NFC sharing capabilities.

Even quicker than most professional DSLRs, the fast autofocus speed of the a6000 camera is powered by Sony’s advanced Hybrid AF system. The new model features a focal plane phase-detection AF sensor with an extremely wide autofocus coverage area – 179 focal points– that is teamed with high-precision contrast-detection AF. This potent combination allows the camera to accurately track and respond to a subject moving through nearly the entire frame, and to shoot at an eye-popping speed of up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus.

Sony ILCE-6000 Digital Camera Rear

The new camera’s clear, bright OLED Tru-Finder lets you see a live preview of all setting adjustments before the shot is taken, so what you see is exactly what you get. Conveniently placed mode and control dials on top of the camera give easy access to commonly used settings. Additionally, a ‘Function’ button and two additional customizable buttons give quick access to any one of 47 assignable functions. There’s also a built-in flash for extra flexibility in any shooting situation.

The a6000 camera has built-in Wi-Fi, giving consumers one-touch connection with Xperia or NFC-compatible Android smartphones or tablets for instant image transfer and sharing. A single touch also activates Smart Remote Control, linking the camera with a smartphone or tablet for a live image preview, to fire the shutter from a distance and to review shots instantly.

Sony ILCE-6000 Digital Camera Side

For devices without NFC one-touch capabilities, users can wirelessly transfer images and videos and activate Smart Remote Control through Sony’s free PlayMemories Mobile application, available for the iOS and Android platforms.

The camera is also compatible with downloadable Sony PlayMemories Camera Apps, adding a range of exciting and creative capabilities. Currently there are a total of 10 different applications available with several others to be released this spring.

Sony ILCE-6000 Digital Camera Front

The a6000 camera is compatible with Sony’s ever-growing assortment of E-mount interchangeable lenses, and uses the same Sony E-mount as the a3000, a5000 and acclaimed a7 and a7R models, as well as all the previous α ‘NEX’ cameras. All Sony ‘FE’ and ‘E’ lenses are compatible with all E-mount cameras.

Pricing and Availability
The Sony ILCE-6000 (also known as the a6000, α6000 or Alpha 6000) compact interchangeable lens camera will be available in April 2014 in black and silver in a kit with a compact, versatile 16-50mm motorized zoom lens (model SELP1650) for about $800.
