The a6000 replaces Sony's NEX-6 and at only $600 (body only, street price) you might think this is just another entry-level camera, comparable to a point-and-shoot. But you'd be wrong. Sony claims this is the world's fastest autofocusing mirrorless camera and is now the top-of-the-line in their APS-C sensor line. Doug put the a6000 through some serious usage tests including an intense week of shooting on the streets of New York City. And while he and Frederick lament the fact that Sony still doesn't appear to understand the value of features like touch screens and external mic jacks, you'll also hear whether Doug thinks the a6000 is a good choice regardless of these weaknesses.
