Sony A6000

The A6000 got backburnered with the arrival of the RX10 and RX100 but I did get some more digiscoping in with the A6000. I'm new to digiscoping but I can already tell the A6000 is mighty fine in that regard:

Hoping to jump on the A6000 bandwagon myself as a social/street camera and B-cam for video to my nex FS700.

What are your opinions about the kit lens (PZ 16-50), and what do you think about this:

Samyang / Rokinon 12mm T/2.2 (cine)
Sigma 19mm 2.8 ART
Sigma 30mm 2.8 ART
Helios 44-2 (58mm f/2) m42 to NEX

Two from my weekend in the Lake District.

hi all, I'm looking to sell my 40D setup to get the Sony A6000 as a all around camera.

For current owners, any regards getting this camera?

Also I will probably take many photos of moving kids, would anyone recommend this camera for it?

thanks for sharing.

Aftrer selling my FF setup, I'm very much thinking about getting the Fuji XT1 next to my a6000. Mainly for the nice primes, but the a6000 is a camera I don't see myself selling soon mainly because it performs fantastic for moving kids, the main reason I got it in the first place. Once you get the hang of the AF system and how to setup the tracking, you can get fantastic shots. Some examples here.

my two girls on the trampoline, this was when the sun was going down so pretty low light.

beautiful kids and shots, esp last one. I have two of my own. I am using 50 1.8 a lot. considering the 35, since it more up my alley in terms of focal length. I have the sigma, 30, but its only a 2.8

thanks

While my A7R is in vacation, i played with one of the A6000's auto mode(Hand-held Twilight when the camera takes 3 successive shots to create a well-exposed, blurless and noiseless image).

There has been conflicting reports as to whether the body is mag alloy or not. For those who have this camera, can you confirm the body material?

for $750.00 including lens, hard to believe it is magnesium alloy body. I tried it at the store and it is a lot lighter than my Fujifilm x-t1 - XT1 is magnesium alloy.

E-M10 is similar price and has a metal body.

This camera has replaced my 5D3 as my B-cam for video work next to my main Sony FS700. The vids are so much sharper and the avchd codec is way better than h264.

Now I might have to try the A5100 for the XAVC-S video.
