Sony A6000 Hands-On Review

Chris Niccolls from the Camera Store in Canada got the latest new camera from Sony – the A6000, which was announced only a few short weeks ago. His impressions, as you can see from the video above) were very positive, specifically when it comes to the focusing speed (which was always pretty good on the Sony NEX series in our experience).
