"ok from a low light perspective it isnt going to be as good a say the a99 but what surprised me was that it was far better than my a77"

"comes with two great lenses that mean for the semi pro amateur this is probably the only camera that you will need in many situations"

"but considering that newer versions are three to four times the price of this one you really need to ask yourself if you need the extra features especially considering that the pictures this camera takes are stunning in their clarity and vivid colours"

"even the kit lens produces some quality shots in sharp focus without too much expertise required from the user"

"the a6000 improves on the nex 5n by having the built in optical view finder and a significant increase in speed of the autofocus"

"this is a very good travel camera at an excellent price"

"the e mount lens selection is nice if a little limited"

"mainly used on travelling zoo trips portraits and wildlife"

"it has very competent low light performance and the burst shooting is good fun and useful for capturing fast moving action"

"good neat camera very pleased with the results"

"what sold this camera to me was the price and having a viewfinder this is a must on bright sunny days"

"in an ideal world i would have both maybe one day if i broke my a6000 i would replace it with another one!"

"my impressions of the two cameras is that the d5500 beats the a6000 in every respect except auto focus the intelligent multi point focus of the sony is a real advantage"

"but considering that newer versions are three to four times the price of this one you really need to ask yourself if you need the extra features especially considering that the pictures this camera takes are stunning in their clarity and vivid colours"

"amazing deal was around 300pounds plus 100pound cashback"

"it has a plethora of versatile automatic modes and some specific modes which adjust most settings automatically but allow some features to be user defined – such as shutter speed or aperture"

"this camera also seems more sturdy if and when using larger lenses"

"yes it has been superseded by newer models which have improved autofocus 4k video capabilities and even weatherproofing for extreme environments"

"nice lightweight camera for when don't want to carry heavy camera about"

"great pictures downloaded and simple to work out the levers"

"amazing camera"

"first things i had to consider due to health issues with my back was weight its very diffcult for me to carry at full size slr these day's as when combined with battery grip batteries telephoto lens and other bits and pieces its a weighty combination and while i dont carry around the largest amount of lenses etc the weight was still close to 2kg which was causing alot of pain after a few hours the a6000 even fully kitted out is a gem at 685g with the 55 210 attached"

"then voila a reply"

"all pictures in my review are unedited to show camera and lens quality"

"while my adored minolta x500 was the prize camera in my bag this sadly has taken its place"

"excellent product and quick delivery"

"my impressions of the two cameras is that the d5500 beats the a6000 in every respect except auto focus the intelligent multi point focus of the sony is a real advantage"

"many though not all are free and can add some extra usability for example an intervalometer"

"amazing deal was around 300pounds plus 100pound cashback"
