A good starting camera that I started out with, and still use it to this today, is the Sony A6000. Takes great 4K pictures and record's in 1080p. Starting kit comes with 2 lens, 16-50mm and 55-210mm Power Zoom Lenses. Total comes to $750, haven't included shipping.

> I get 5% cash back on Amazon right now also for the next $700 I spend and 1% after that so seems like a good time to buy.

Yes, let the justification flow through you. That $35 you save sure beats the fact that it was $100 cheaper last Christmas. Although I'll give you that the Sony seems to be priced well.

Not that I didn't load up on some stupid shit this month, so I can't really knock you for that!

You've picked an interesting two cameras. The Pentax K2's are, supposedly, some of the most durable and weather-resistant DSLRs around. Sony, meanwhile, has some of the best tech - but isn't exactly known for durability. Choices, choices.

If durability is really important to you, and you like the Pentax, I'd go with that. If portability is needed, go with the Sony. Take a look at the lenses you'd most want (assuming you have enough experience to know) and price them out.

Sony is doing awesome, incredible things with their newest cameras... but the pace of improvement is so rapid, that it's hard to look at the couple years old model. Nowadays, the A9 and A7RIII seem to be just as good as DSLRs... but from what I understand, the A6000's era was still balancing pros and cons.

This sounds like I'm knocking Sony, but I really like them. Their image quality is just excellent, and there will be new lenses for the E-mount. That seems way more future-proof than the A mount, and probably even Pentax. It's just that for when these cameras started, if the smaller size isn't critical, I think the Pentax has fewer compromises and a few advantages.

No need to blow $1000 on a camera from the get go. Get a used Sony A6000 with kit lens for about $500 and see later if you need anything else. If you want to get more/better lenses you can always do that. If you decide to sell it and get something else you can also do that, it's the most popular mirrorless right now and retains its used value rather well. It's small and practical and you'll be able to take it everywhere with minimal fuss.

Edit: feature overview and video capabilities footage.

I started out with the a6000. Got the bundle with 2 lenses, the 16-50mm and 55-210mm, which costs 750$ (I know 300 dollars more for your budget is a lot) Although, if you do intend to keep on taking photos, this is a great deal and will definitely last a long time. Here's a link for the camera bundle at Amazon in case you want to check it out.

Awesome! How about this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NO1T55I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I can get a brand new one for 625$ for this camera with two lenses. Is that a good deal? Someone else is selling it for around 500$ as well. There was a pricing error during prime day and people got this for 90$. That's why they're selling it for such a low price for an unopened one. What do you think? Thanks :)

u/G-3PO · 1 pointr/photography

I apologize for the "what should I buy" question that gets asked all the time, but here we go.

I'm looking at the RX100 M3 and the A6000 with 6-50mm and 55-210mm lenses

I'm a 100% total beginner and I want a camera to capture basically everything (travel, family, outdoors).

From what I can see the RX100 is only better for portability, and I'm 100% okay with a bigger camera for better pictures, but are the two lenses included enough? I'm okay with potential buying one more, but I would like to keep it to the two.

I'm also open to other suggestions!

u/xAnomaly_ · 1 pointr/a6000

Thanks for the help, this will be a good starting point. I didn't think about getting extra batteries. I just want to make sure that this is considered a kit lens or if it's something else like this.

Hello /r/photography !

First time poster here. I'm sure you guys get a lot of posts like these here, so sorry for that. I'm very seriously considering purchasing my first camera over the holiday season, perhaps like a Christmas present to myself. I've always been interested in photography, took a few classes in HS/college, but I've never actually owned a camera before.

I'm actually a retail associate at a store with a sizable DI department and I've found myself hanging around there checking out some cameras and lenses during my lunch breaks recently. I've been doing what research and reading I can but as a potential new photographer its a bit overwhelming to start. Even some of the menus and settings on the DSLRs are confusing.

Anyway. Right now I'm eyeing the Sony a6000 as my gateway into the world of photography. I've picked up and held most of the cameras in our shop and I definitely appreciate the smaller compact design of a mirrorless versus the traditional DSLRs. I'm sure I would be fine with a DSLR and in the end the lenses will be the same size but I would prefer a mirrorless, I think. At this point, my major reservation with the a6000 is what I've read about the E mount lens selection being quite small.

From what I understand Sony is still adding to this lineup but there is a much smaller selection of compatible or native lenses for the E mount series compared to, say, Canon or Nikon. I'm wondering if this might be a reason to consider going with a different camera. I checked out the EOS M3 as well, which I believe is a similar price/specs to the a6000 but I think I would prefer to have the EVF the Sony has. However, I'm assuming the M3 has a much larger selection of compatible lenses.

For what its worth, we have a bundle similar to this in my store https://www.amazon.com/Sony-ILCE6000YB-Mirrorless-Digital-55-210mm/dp/B00NO1T55I which also includes a 50mm prime (I believe its this one https://www.amazon.com/Sony-50mm-Mid-Range-Mount-Cameras/dp/B005NX7HY6 ) open boxed for $599 on the tag, and could possibly get it cheaper. I'm not sure if an open box item qualifies (I would have to ask) but I do also have access to Sony's Premier Rewards program which I could get up to a 40% rebate on the a6000.

However, for the sake of finding some alternatives to look into, lets say my budget is about.. $700 USD before taxes. Could possibly flex it to $800. I can probably get similar accomodations on most brand of cameras and lenses that my store carries. For me, this would be a very large purchase and I want to make sure I get the best fit and I would probably be using this camera for at least 5 years and adding lenses/accessories as I go.

What are some good alternatives to the a6000 in this price range? I'd prefer mirrorless if possible but I'm not totally opposed to a standard DSLR. I like the manual controls (was considering a5100 originally) on the a6000 even though I don't know what most of them do. Prefer to have a viewfinder. APS-C sensor.. not convinced on m43.

My endgoal is to be shooting macro but at this time I don't think I can afford the investment into a 90 or 100mm macro lens as a total beginner photographer. Mostly interested in doing flowers/mushrooms and inanimate objects but being able to shoot small creatures would be cool. Was considering tubes or maybe a reversal ring in the meantime. Also interested in general nature/city photography.

Any suggestions you guys might have would be great. So far the a6000 seems like the best fit for me but I want to explore all my options before making any purchase. Sorry for the long post. Cheers!

sony a6000 kit

Not sure if this helps you or this kit is available to you but it's what i bought in march and I like it very much!

u/mr_frankenstein · 1 pointr/Cameras

The sensor is smaller and it will make a difference. Also, keep in mind that the E-M10 is a low-end camera, while the A6000 is currently the best thing you can get from Sony's E-mount (with an APS-C sensor).

If you don't mind a 2-lens setup, then what do you think about this: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-55-210mm-16-50mm/dp/B00NO1T55I/

It's an A6000 with 16-50 and 55-210mm lenses. It's a $100 difference, but I think it will be worth it.


Personally, I've made the mistake of grabbing a low-end camera and this will never happen again. I have a D3200 when I could have bought a D5200. The difference in quality (image and build) is huge and worth your money.

u/gaaaaaaaaaaav · 1 pointr/photography

Think I'm pulling the trigger on an a6000 for my first mirrorless. Would it be better to get the camera body only, and then pick up a lens, say a Sigma 19 or go ahead and get the package with kit lens + 55-210mm?

I like the idea of skipping over the crappy kit lens, but at the same time, for just $50 I can have the larger lens as well, assuming it's not garbage.

u/vaxt · 1 pointr/canon

For Canon I would suggest picking up a used 80D.
You could get a 2 lens kit for a Sony A6000 as well, within your budget: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mirrorless-Digital-16-50mm-55-210mm/dp/B00NO1T55I
If you want 4K Video you can get the Sony A6300 with a kit lens, though you might have to get that used as well.

I don't know much yet about photography, the camera did all the work!

u/rayven1lk · 1 pointr/photography

Hi guys I was looking for a new camera and across these 2 options on Amazon:

PANASONIC LUMIX G7 4K Mirrorless Camera, with 14-42mm MEGA O.I.S. Lens, 16 Megapixels, 3 Inch Touch LCD, DMC-G7KK

Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm and 55-210mm Power Zoom Lenses

I usually try to shoot some landscape/wide angle shots and want to also try some portrait stuff with great bokeh. Which one do you think would be more suitable?

Open to other options (including something you may recommend besides kit lens) as well as long as they are mirrorless. Budget is around $800. Thanks.

u/jakemoney3 · 1 pointr/photography

Yo man, I followed you on insta a couple weeks ago and you followed me back. Interesting to find out that you have a Sony A6000 and you just bought that lens. I bought the same camera last year with these two lenses and at the beginning of this year I bought the Rokinon 12mm! Some more samples can be found of this lens here all of the west texas stuff was done with the 12mm. Actually, I think the only thing not shot through the 12mm are the colosseum, vesuvius, and the florence street photo.
