where to buy Neurontin The new mirrorless from Sony, the a6000 is a little camera that packs a big punch. As a photographer I am always looking for the next dSLR and what features it will include. But sometimes I forget to check out the smaller, pocket cameras. And while I wasn’t looking Sony jumped into the big kid pool and developed a mirrorless camera with almost all the dSLR features in a compact body.

snappingly 'This camera produces amazing image quality for the price, just $698 with a 15-60 lens, versus a dSLR which will run a couple grand. Really its the 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor puts it on the map against its bulky dSLR competitors. With this sensor the a6000 is able to produce high-resolution still images and full HD movies. But the second greatest feature is the swift burst shooting. This sleek little camera manages 11 frames per second of continuous shooting with subject tracking. With this rapid fire shooting you are sure to get the shot.

While the quick autofocus is great for single images, on the downside the a6000 continuous autofocus can’t seem to match its burst rate. So its best to focus before the action gets moving too quickly. Another drawback is with high-ISO JPEGs, which can’t match the quality of my dSLR, so keep it under 1600 to not look over processed.

 

One thing the a6000 has but my dSLR definitely doesn’t, is built-in Wi-Fi. This allows you to instantly select and download images directly to your smartphone (can we say “instagram”). Sony also has a variety of downloadable apps ranging in features, but the top picks are a remote control feature, timelapse functions and automatic syncing to phone.

 

The 3-inch tilting LCD is also a nifty feature. It allows you to capture the moment with out using the viewfinder. It is perfect for getting shots from the ground or in tight spaces where you might be shooting blind otherwise. The a6000 has a handy built-in flash, perfect for slight fill-flash, but it also has a multi-interface shoe, allowing you to mount a regular flash onto the camera to shed some like on your subject.

 

And last but not least, at 285 grams, this is the best camera for all you ulta-lites to pack on your next adventure and never miss a moment. It fits easily in the side pocket of a pack, or inside a ski jacket, without adding much weight or bulk.
