We found that the best match for this camera when shooting video was to pair it with the ultra compact mechanised 16-50mm ‘Power Zoom'. The fact that the zoom is automatic rather than adjusted by hand, unlike the EOS 5D Mark III, ensures that framing adju...

When we first saw the Sony NEX-6 ahead of its launch towards the end of 2012 we were impressed with how it seemed to encapsulate the very spirit of what, in our view, a compact system camera should be. The NEX-6 is small yet comes complete with a built-i...

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...

The Sony Alpha NEX-6 (MSRP $849.99 body-only, $999.99 with 16-50mm kit lens) is a subtle refinement of the company's flagship mirrorless model, the Sony Alpha NEX-7 .While the name may suggest Sony is taking a step backward, the NEX-6 takes just about eve...

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...

Sony seems content with rolling out endless variations on its popular line of mirrorless cameras. The final one for 2012, the NEX-6, fills out the pricier end between the NEX-5R and the NEX-7, but can it find a foothold to thrive among so many siblings?A...
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.
