Built-in EVF, decent image quality, mode dial and thumbwheel, hotshoe, small yet sensible size, sturdy build quality
Battery life needs to be better, low-light autofocus lacks feedback and accuracy, no touchscreen, Wi-Fi not as smooth as we'd like
On the one hand the NEX-6 epitomises what compact system cameras are all about: it's small, light, easier to use than any other NEX model, well built, comes complete with a viewfinder, is fairly nippy when it needs to be and snaps cracking images to...
Sony's NEX system has seen considerable growth since its inception just three short years ago. What started as two barely discernible options—the NEX-5 and NEX-3—has grown into a fine system with options for just about everyone. The NEX-7 also became one ...
Abstract: Since reviewing The NEX5 a couple of variety’s have emerged, however new cameras from Sony are not frequent so when I saw a prototype some months ago I immediately requested to review one when it was available....
Compact yet with a rock solid construction, APS-C sensor is larger than that found in most CSC’s, body integral viewfinder, touch screen control provides best-of-both-worlds operation when used in conjunction with manual controls, tilting high resolution backscreen
Bland design that is more functional than inspirational, costs as much as a very good digital SLR which would offer marginally better picture quality, some will prefer to twin this with a manual zoom for more precise control
That it costs as much as a semi professional DSLR too when you factor in the lens may give some pause for thought, but if it's compactness, convenience and – despite this – robustness you're after in a CSC, the NEX-6 is up there near the top of the prover...
Good build, quality materials, nice to handle, Highend electronic viewfinder and verticaltilt screen, Photo/video interface is simple but comprehensive, Good general picture quality, noise controlled well, Extra functions can be added in the form of apps
Slow to start up (over two seconds to take a first photo), Interface for installing applications isn't great and only Sony apps are available, No touchscreen, entering text or passwords can be a pain
The Sony NEX-6 is a very nice camera. It's an advanced interchangeable lens compact with a reassuringly sturdy build and high-end performances. Although it's a touch slow to start up, this is still our current favourite in Sony's NEX range. However, seein...
The Sony NEX-6 mixes high-end build quality and control with a consumer-friendly feature set. The inclusion of Wi-Fi connectivity opens up the NEX-6 for a number of in-camera editing controls and direct image sharing.All in all, the Sony NEX-6 handles wel...
Operational speed, Large and bright viewfinder, Tiltable LCD screen, Fast write times
Inconsistent white balance under artificial light, Recessed buttons can be fiddly
The Sony NEX-6 bridges the gap between the flagship NEX-7 and the more consumer-orientated NEX-5R, borrowing features from both models. From the NEX-7 it takes the bright and highly detailed electronic viewfinder, while from the NEX-5R it takes the built-...
Wi, Fi and apps, High image quality, Range of effects
Screen doesn't twist around, No touchscreen
Sony has produced a very likable, capable camera that is complemented well by the new powerzoom lens. Its controls can be customised to suit the photographer, it has helpful technology borrowed from a smartphone and it delivers images of impressively hig...
