MANILA, Philippines — It’s official: Sony is killing off its NEX camera series. But all is not lost.
On Wednesday, February 12, the Japan-based tech company unveiled a groundbreaking interchangeable lens mirrorless camera, the A6000.
The successor to Sony’s critically acclaimed NEX-6, the A6000 lives up to its pedigree and now holds the record for the world’s fastest autofocus. The camera has 179 phase-detect and 25-area contrast autofocus points and takes no more than just 0.06 seconds to focus.
Focus tracking is also impressive. It can focus and shoot at 11 frames per second. This means that even if your subject is quickly moving towards you, the camera will be able to keep it in focus.
The A6000 also has a 24.3 megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor and Sony’s new Bionz X image processing engine – the same one on Sony’s high-end full-frame A7 camera.
Like its predecessor it comes with the same tilting 3-inch LCD display, an OLED optical viewfinder, and WiFi connectivity. NFC is now also included.
With the launch of the A6000 it’s pretty clear that Sony’s E-Mount is here to stay, in two varieties APS-C and Full Frame.
The A6000 will be priced at $800 with a 15-55mm kit lens or $600 (body only) when it is released in April this year.
