Speed in a small and simple package: Review of the Sony a6000

We’ve been very keen on testing the Sony a6000 since its announcement back in February 2014, but with so many other interesting cameras emerging around the same time, it sadly fell by the wayside. Mathieu did spend a day with the camera during the Turin Colour Run courtesy of Sony Italia, but it wasn’t enough to write up a substantial review. Thankfully, we recently came across a wonderful service here in the UK called Hireacamera.com, whereby you hire cameras and lenses at a reasonable price for any given length of time. As soon as I saw they had the a6000 in stock, I contacted them and went about preparing for our very first hire!

A Colourful Afternoon: Hands-On with the Sony a6000

Another enjoyable Sony workshop organised by the Riflessi Camera Shop and Sony expert Davide Grimoldi allowed us to try the new Sony a6000 for a few hours. Usually, in situations like this, it isn’t easy to find an interesting theme to photograph but luck would have it that we had a walk in Valentino Park where the Turin Color Run was about to start. It was a great opportunity to try the most interesting new feature of this camera, its hybrid AF system with 179 phase detection points!
