The Sony Alpha a6000 is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in the Sony E-mount range of APS-C cameras.

These features include a 24.3MP APS-C sensor, a good hybrid autofocus system, fast 11fps shooting at its top speed, a built-in OLED electronic viewfinder, and Full HD (1080p) video recording at 60p and 24p.

This is why the announcement of the Sigma 16mm f/1.4, with its 24mm equivalent field of view and fast maximum aperture, was such breath of fresh air for E-mount users.

Sony has announced the second camera in its third-generation A7 series, the Sony A7 III.
