Sony A6000 SD Card Removal
Aug 15, 2017 08:36:54 #
Do any of you Sony A6000 owners have trouble removing the SD card? Although it pops up, there is no room for fingers. Maybe Sony should install a much stronger spring ( 
) or supply little tweezers.

I use my index finger and thumb to ease it out. So far, no problems. I think it all depends on the size of your hands. Small tweezers with flat pads should work fine.

Maybe that's the problem. I have small fingers.
The only way I can remove the card is by gripping the edges.

Jerry you are so right. I have the 6000 & 6300 and it is hard to remove the card. Just tried it on 6300 if you push down the
card sort of pops up. Then 2 fingers as pincers works. Not a great design but this camera has amazed me by its imagery.

That's why I like my Eye-Fi cards.

I also own a A6000, and the card removal is indeed a problem. My solution is Cellotape a small "lead" to the card, and the problem goes away. Still it is dumb of Sony to make such a camera, and neglect to place the card slot in a better accessible place.

I do have the same problem and started taking a pair of tweezers with me.

I agree, to save the card flying thru the air. I do not have dainty digits, I try to open the card door and cover the area with my hand so if the card is ejected it's should be ejected into the palm of my hand. I have resorted to using the pliers on a multi tool after it has been initially released. I am usually far more careful outdoor. The worst thing is even inside the majority color of the the cards is black. The default color of so many accessories today is black.

) or supply little tweezers.Yes, difficult. SD card placement is one thing I do not like about the Sony a6000.

When I first got the Sony a6000, I read a tip to put a small piece of tape extending over the top. I have done it and it works great to get the memory card out.

I have the 6500- same problem. I carry tweezers with me in my camera bag. It's the only problem with the 6500 so far.
