Sony has announced the new a6000 witha 24MP APS-C sized
sensor (up from 16MP on the NEX-6) and brand new Hybrid AF system, which
combines the best of the both worlds of phase-detection and
contrast-detection auto focus systems. The faster phase-detect points
now cover 92% of the frame and provide for what Sony calls “the world’s
fastest autofocus”. It can also shoot up to 11fps with tracking continuous autofocus turned on.
One important feature is its phase-detection AF sensor with an extremely wide autofocus coverage area – 179 focal point. The Sony a6000 also has an OLED Tru-Finder of 1.4M dots resolution, which turns on automatically thanks to a proximity sensor. There is also a built-in flash, Wi-Fi and NFC for one-touch pairing and image transfer to NFC-enabled Android smartphones. Both Android and iOS smart devices can also be used as a remote for the camera with live image preview and instant shot reviewing.The ISO can go up to 25.600, which is the same as on the NEX-6, but here the low-light performance is said to be improved thanks to the new image sensor. The camera can shoot AVCHD videos in resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (60p, 24p) and MPEG-4 videos in 1080p@30fps.
The Sony a6000 camera will be available in April 2014 for about $800 in a kit with Sony’s 16-50mm zoom lens. The body will be be sold separately as well for around $650.
