Sony A6000 Series
Sony's APS-C mirrorless range — from capable enthusiast to advanced hybrid.
The Sony APS-C line has long been a favourite for photographers who want a smaller system without giving up autofocus performance. The A6100 is the accessible entry point; the A6400 brought real-time tracking; the A6700 added a larger sensor and significantly improved video.
