HOT Texas Loc: From the Heart of Texas

a little note, when I bought my Sony a7rII, I had to sell off some of my equipment, included in that equipment was a Sony a6000 after less than a year I was missing my little Sony a6000 really bad, now don't get me wrong, I love this Sony a7rII this 42 megapixels beast takes awesome pictures and very proud to own it and will never sell it, but back to my point I was missing my a6000 so bad I bought another one about two weeks ago.

I have shot lots and lots of camera's in my years, Canon 5d's, Canon 7d's Canon 7d MII Nikon D70, Nikon 7100 and 7200 Sony a350, Sony a100, Sony a7 Sony a7rII Sony nex-6, the list goes on, There is nothing in this world I'd rather shoot than a Sony a6000, well now why do you say that Johnny? well let me tell you.

#1 Image quality
#2 small, fits in your hands like a glove
#3 super light, you don't feel like your holding a brick with a lens on it.
#4 and the main reason I can hit every control with my right thumb, I'm talking shutter speed, ISO, white balance, shooting modes, f/stops, bracket key, pop-up flash, ALL while looking thru the amazing view finder
(think about that)
#5 absolutely the most fun camera to shoot, will bring the fun back into photography, a street shooter's dream camera, point and shoot, Thousand's of lenses will mount on it, Focus Peaking for manual focus lenses

the list can go on and on and I for sure not knocking anyone's camera, I love them all no mater what brand, but if you ever get a chance to pick up and shoot a a6000, or the new a6300 I think you will see what I'm talking about and be amazed.

Please use the downloads, hope you enjoy and have a great day, Only some of these pictures are with the Sony a6000, some with A7r2 and some with Sony a350
Thanks for looking!!!!!

All beautiful with such brilliant color, Johnny! I've been looking for Jerusalem sage for a while and haven't been able to find the plants. Is yours from seeds, or did you find the plants? It's a beautiful and unusual flower.

Well I can see why you are sold on your a6000, beautiful shots, Johnny and I feel that way about my 70D, even though I've not had many cameras to compare it to.
Great shots, but you can keep the tomato long horn caterpillar in your yard, thank you!!

Thanks much Donna, this one is from seeds, you can buy seeds cheap on the big e, it is a unusual flower and another bloom is down towards the middle of the stem, it gets about 3 ft. tall and will require some space if you plant a dozen or so, as far as beautiful, not sure about that it is also hard to photograph and get good details, but I was happy with this shot after about 6 tries.

Thanks again Donna, appreciate you!!!!!

Thank you Angela, you will put that 70D up on a shelf if you ever shot a a6000 That's where all my DLSR's are.

As to the caterpillar I for sure will keep it, he will turn into a beautiful humming bird moth someday, But I did put him way back there in the back forty way away from my tomato's, my tomato plants are doing very well and I want them to stay that way I counted over 100 tomato's on the 8 plants that have and nobody eats them but me I have to give them all away what I can't eat.

Appreciate you Angela!!!!!

You need to open a farm stand!! I planted 7 this year and I'm starting to see some flowers.... we just need to see some sun!!
My daughter has the Sony a6300 and I know she loves it.... but I'm happy with my hefty 70d for now!

I have two A77ii bodies but I've been thinking of picking up a used A6000.
It looks like a sweet camera. I started digital in 2012 with a NEX-7, sold it when I went with the A77ii.

You need to borrow it for 2 or three days,, not trying to get you to stop using your 70D, it's a great camera

Angela What I do with my extra tomato's is give them to people that don't have much money and can't afford to buy them, Like my Saturday Mail Mam, she is divorce and has 4 kids to feed and only works on Saturday's
other days she cleans houses and things, it's people like that I try to help.

Your mighty welcome Donna!!!!!

HOT Texas Loc: From the Heart of Texas

Well Rich I guess you know where I'm coming from, I freaking love shooting the a6000, by all means give it a try!!!!! The neatest thing about it is you can buy a 10 dollar adapt and shoot all that wonderful Minolta glass for nothing compared to Sony's glass and have fun doing it.

angela k Loc: Long Island

My daughter will never let me borrow it.... my friend has the a6000 and I know she loves it because of the size.

That's very nice of you to share your tomatoes... she must be very grateful!!
