This means you can focus on investing in good lenses and get a good set-up for a reasonable budget.
SONY ALPHA A6000 FULL
The A7 in particular can give you the nice look of a full frame sensor for $500 if you find one second-hand in good condition. The advantage, on the other hand, is that the cost of the two models today is very reasonable. Of course they are still perfectly capable of taking good pictures, but it means you won’t have the latest features, the fastest autofocus or the absolute best image quality today’s products have to offer. If you’re looking for these cameras in 2021, the first thing to know is that they’re 6/7 years old. The A6000 can still be found new online, with a price of around $650 with the kit lens, or even less if a promotion applies.
The Sony A7 has been discontinued from retailers and online stores for some time now, so your only option is to find it second-hand at around $500. You can find out more about this type of grip in our accessory article.
Bear in mind however that the grip needs to connect to the USB port of the camera, and is not weather sealed.
SONY ALPHA A6000 SERIES
You access the SD card slot on the side on the A7, in its dedicated compartment, whereas you’ll find it on the bottom inside the battery compartment on the A6000.īoth cameras have the multi-interface shoe on top that allows you to use a series of compatible Sony accessories including flash and microphones.Ĭoncerning the aesthetics, the A6000 is available in four different colours (black, white, graphite gray and silver) whereas the A7 is available in black only.įor the A6000, there is no official accessory from Sony, but you can find third-party battery grips such as the one made by Meike, which also includes a wireless remote control. The A7 offers a bit more customisation, and I find it better to use overall, although both cameras have a confusing menu system and some functions aren’t straight-forward. On the rear, the button layout is similar but the A7 has an extra custom button, as well as the AF/MF and AEL switch that gives the button in the middle an extra setting. The full frame model also has an exposure compensation dial on top. Then we have the outer design, and the first thing you’ll notice is the position of the viewfinder, which sits in the top-middle on the A7, and embedded on the side in the main frame on the A6000.īoth feature a large-enough front grip, but only the A7 has twin dials on the front and rear to control the exposure (shutter speed and aperture), whereas the A6000 has one dial only.
