The Sony Alpha a6000 is powered by a 24.3MP Exmor APS-C CMOS sensor, which at the time redefined what a mirrorless camera of this size could achieve in terms of resolution and dynamic range. Thanks to the BIONZ The heart of its performance lies in an exceptionally fast hybrid autofocus system, which integrates 179 phase detection points that cover almost the entire frame. This architecture enables tracking of moving subjects with astonishing precision, complemented by a burst rate of up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus. It is a tool designed to capture the precise moment in genres such as street or action photography, where the reaction speed between the eye and the shutter is critical. In terms of ergonomics and versatility, its compact telemetry-style body is ideal for those who value portability and discretion without sacrificing technical power. It incorporates a high-resolution OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder that offers 100% coverage, facilitating an accurate preview of exposure and depth of field in real time. Additionally, being part of Sony's well-established E-mount, it provides access to a vast ecosystem of high-end optics, allowing the user to evolve from ultra-bright prime lenses to specialized zooms according to their creative vision.
