A fine shooting design, great photo and good video quality, and excellent performance number among the Sony Alpha NEX-6's strengths
The camera lacks the option to save groups of custom settings, a real irritation, and we wish it had a neutral color preset. Plus Sony's wireless implementation is awkward, and the app system is annoying
The Sony Alpha NEX-6 delivers an as-yet-unbeatable package of image quality, performance, and design, even for its rather high price....

Yes. It's an all-around great camera. There are brands out there that do specific things better, like the Olympus OM-D E-M5 for autofocus and lens selection, and the Fuji X-E1 for image quality. But none can do great video and great stills with such ease.

Abstract: Underneath the mode dial is a secondary dial, which is made from metal and semi-recessed into the top panel. It's easily identified by touch. This dial can be used to adjust aperture and shutter speed settings, depending on the selected shooting mode. In ...
Abstract: So that there's no confusion, this story is about a camera that was introduced in the fall of 2012. Like many of the cameras that I use, it's not the latest or greatest—but it's miles above the “good enough” threshold. And it's very affordable in today's...

When adding up the pros and cons to the Sony NEX-6, it's pretty clear that there's not much to dislike about this compact system camera. The NEX-6 truly carves out its own space in Sony's CSC lineup, and even though its resolution has been scaled down ...
The NEX-6 is one power-packed mirrorless camera. It's got Wi-Fi, an OLED EVF with a crazy resolution, a tilt-swivel screen and great ergonomics. As for performance, it's got very impressive image quality and coupled up with a superb AF system, we see t...
new mode dial, builtin viewfinder and flash, WiFi, full feature set, good performance, above average image quality, full manual exposure control in video
confusing menu system, even with mode dial, still too dependent on menus, poorly positioned "red" movie button
The Sony NEX-6 is a great little camera and, one of my personal favorites. Other than its sometimes confusing menu system, the NEX-6 is well designed for comfortable and efficient shooting for enthusiasts and those just stepping up from compact cameras. ...
