John Greengo at Creative Live also has a good one--$19.00, I think.
I’ll have to take a look at your site, too. Thanks.

I was thinking about buying a new 'toy' and generally research them before I get them. Not my site, just came across it.

The A6000 seems to have features that are included in only more expensive cameras and photographs, if I do my job, appear to be excellent.

Thanks... although several years old, it seemed to have a lot of features.

Guys n Gals,

Anyone wishing to learn more about the Sony A6000, just go to Gary Fong's Tutorial on the Sony A6000; and you won't believe your eyes and ears about what all the Sony A6000 is capable of.

The Sony A6000 is a marvel for a modest price around $500 approaching Christmas time. With the little kit zoom lens it comes with (normally), you can do photo work that all the BEST digital cameras can do; with the single exception being a crop Sensor camera, it cannot do the fabulous enlargements that one gets with the Full Frame 42.4 mp and cameras with more mps can do!

But go give Gary Fong's Tutorial a look, if you don't have a digital camera. It is the BEST deal going for an introduction into digital photography. BAR NONE!

Most importantly, Gary shows how just knowing the proper set up on the little A6000 can crank out Top Caliber photos worthy of the big bucks camera-Pros!

I especially enjoyed looking at his Sports Burst frame photography of his little kids popping Soap Bubbles in frozen action, with half the soap bubble still there and the back half busting loose!

You could spend ALL DAY, taking photos using 'film camera' with single photos per clik and NEVER come close to catching a Soap Bubble halfway through bursting, without 11 frames per second camera action like the Sony A6000!

SR-71, did you see that segment yesterday on Smithsthonian Channel on Cable TV about the SR-71, on their 'Famous Planes' segment? It was a re-run, but I do love to see videos of the SR-71 in action!

They have the Sandisk, Extreme PRO SDXC U3 UHS-I Card, 64 GB; is this a good memory card, or does anyone have any paroblems with it.

The camera, with both the Selp 16-50 and Sel 55-210B lenses are on sale for about $800CAN (good price).
Have to check that both lenses are image stabilised. Anything else?

I picked one up; is it a 'ducky' little camera with an incredible number of features. It will be a replacement for my Nikon Coolpix S9900.

It took me about 15min to format the memory card. Format is embedded in the menu and took a little effort to find. Got the Sandisk, Extreme PRO SDXC U3 UHS-II Card, 64 GB (one of the fastest cards) and will shoot in *.jpg for a while. Not into photo editing yet. It will take a couple of days to get into the camera. Menu is extremely easy and clear, just a lot of it, and, a matter if finding where stuff is embedded and what some of it does. I haven't taken my first picture yet, will do that tomorrow AM.

Sort of renewing an interest in photography... not since 35mm, other than 'just taking pictures'.

Thank you for the link to a Sony A6000 guide! I’ve enjoyed its stabilization and my photo results for the past two years (but without a manual) and just bought David Busch’s guide. I highly recommend both products.

My 64GB card arrived late yesterday. I purchased it specifically for my a6000. Will format and put play with it tomorrow. Helluva deal from B&H.
