I bought this, along with the 35mm f/1.8 lens. I mostly used the 35mm, as the pancake zoom seems to be a little buggy. First of all, it takes a while to startup, as it seems to need to go through the focal range first before allowing me to use it. Also, every now and then, the lens won't startup correctly, so I have to either turn the camera off and back on, or I have to take the battery out and put it back in. I don't have this problem with the 35mm. Eventually, the lens just wasn't recognized by the camera anymore, so I had to mail the lens in for warranty repair service. Haven't gotten it back so I'll update later when I get the new pancake to see if it fares any better. The camera body, however, has been wonderful. The eyepiece does come off easily and I lost it very quickly. The swivel screen has been very useful, but will only help with landscape oriented photos. The dial on top will control depending on what mode you are on. If you are in Aperture priority, it will control your aperture. If you are on Shutter priority, your shutter speed. If in program mode, you will see that it changes both, keeping exposure the same. This, to me, is the perfect way to shoot. You have control over aperture and/or shutter speed, and need only adjust exposure compensation. Very useful and quick. It does take longer to power on than I'd like, and it isn't quite as fast in focusing as a DSLR. But I'm not a snapshooter anyway, I like to take time and deliberate w/ my photos. One thing I do wish was improved, is when I'm using the MF, it zooms in so I can see clearly what I'm focusing on, however, it takes a good 2 sec. before it zooms back to normal view. I wish it zoomed in for only a split second until I was done adjust the ring, and it would immediately go back to normal view. Often times, I will set it on AF, and adjust with the MF ring to make sure focus is correct, but then I have to wait 2 secs for it to go back to normal view to make sure composition is correct. My last complaint I have is that movies and images are not in the same pool under playback mode. You have to switch between viewing all your movies, and all your images. And it's not easy to switch between the two either. Often times, I forget I even have movies on the memory card because of this. Also, there is a separate pool for each movie format as well. Why can't they just keep it in the same pool, in chronological order?

Sometimes a DSLR feels like overkill for casual shooting. This camera has many of the features of a DSLR but is much more portable and will be easier to use for most people. It is the perfect size... not too large and not pocket-size. It just feels right in your hands.The first thing I noticed after turning it on and navigating through some menus was how easy to understand the menu system and options are. The screen shows you information about each option as you navigate to it, so it is easy to just pick up and shoot great photos without opening a manual. While I am on the subject of the manual, the PDF manual is excellent and makes it easy to find the information you need.There are some neat features on this camera. One of my favorites is the "background defocus" function that de-emphasizes the background and focuses more on the subject. It makes your photos look like they were professionally taken. While the camera makes it easy to shoot great photos, you still have full manual control. You can also take 1080p video and panoramic photos, both of which work well.I love the built-in Wi-Fi so you can transfer and view photos on your computer or smartphone wirelessly. There are also downloadable apps for the camera that adds various functions like retouching and additional effects, as well as an app to remotely control the camera from your smartphone. However, not all of the apps are free and some of the cooler ones (like the Time-lapse app) are as much as 10 dollars. You would expect that a camera of this quality and price range would include these apps at no additional cost and not nickle and dime you on the extras... oh well. You can download these apps through your computer and upload them to the camera using the included cable, or you can download the apps directly to the camera over Wi-Fi, but both methods require that you register on their website for an account first. The included software package for your computer is good for viewing, converting, sharing, and tracking all of your photos.The OLED screen on the camera is so much better than the standard LED screens. It is much easier to see in bright light and is crystal clear. If you prefer to use the viewfinder, there is a heads-up display for your current settings like aperture and the shutter speed.This is a great camera and a nice step up from your basic digital one without getting in to DSLR territory.

I consider myself an "occassional amateur photographer" in the sense that I love photography & take interest in understanding the settings like exposure, ISO and aperture but don't spend and hours everyday for this hobby. I used to own one point & shoot and a Nikon D70. This year I ditched the point and shoot completely as I believe that the Iphone 5S camera has got to a place where it can replace my point & shoot. It takes good enough pictures and is with me all the time. I decided it was time to ditch the SLR for a newer technology - the mirrorless.The NEX-6 is a perfect combination of size and quality. Although some people may still swear by the "SLR" I can't see a significant different between a Consumer level SLR and this camera. A professional $10K SLR may perform better but remember this is a consumer level mirrorless and needs to be compared to an equivalent SLR. The pictures are amazing - especially the night shots. The camera has a lot of controls similar to what you would find on an SLR and it would help to learn about where to find each one of them. Its a matter of developing your motor reflexes to reach each of the controls and once that happens, you would never miss your DSLR. Highly recommended for enthusiasts and amateur photographers looking into Mirrorless technology. Cant speak for professionals - I ain't one!

I took my NEX-5 to the annual Sun-N-Fun air-show in Lakeland, FL this year and was disappointed that sun-glare pretty much obliterated the display while trying to track aircraft in the air. I thought about upgrading to an accessary eye-level viewer but during my online research I stumbled across the NEX-6. It was love at first sight. The more I read about it's capabilities, the more I knew this was my new camera. I said the heck with the money, I'm going for it. Call that a flaw in my character or whatever. BTW, buying the 55-210 zoom saves a lot of money over buying it later. All I know is this camera does everything I was looking for in a camera. Built-in eye-level view finder and built-in display screen; built-in flash as opposed the the NEX5 attachable flash and it even has a hot shoe and bluetooth connectivity which I haven't used yet. Well made, well thought out, and compact. For a company that did not start out making cameras, Sony has rocked the planet with it's cameras (I have several) and the NEX6 is a perfect example.

Bought this camera from Amazon with one day shipping. Received it quickly and have been playing with it for about a week. I have been researching on a replacement of my Canon XSI that is about 4 years old. I have the lastest iPhone that can take great videos but I thought switch from camera to iPhone may not be practical to catch the moment some time.Considered T4i which is a very good camera also and would be a big upgrade from the XSI. But I wanted a more portable camera because I travel abroad during summer a lot. The 16-50 lens will lack the zoom like the 18-135 kit lens T4i has, but it is much smaller and better than my old 18-55, especially for the wider view and portability.I agree with other reviewers who give this camera 5 stars on most of the things they feel. It does hit the sweet spot for my use. The camera has great low light performance, fast auto focusing, and the speed priority continuous shooting is a blast. I used a SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro 95MB/S, and it clears the buffer in about just a couple of seconds and you can start the bursting again. Really amazing! I managed to capture about 200 shots in less than one minute.Also considered Panasonic G5 (almost bought it if not seeing Sony is releasing the NEX-6 in November). G5 is a great camera itself with fast burst speed, touch screen, and video. But size and style wise, I like NEX-6, which my wife likes its sleek looking as well. She can put it in her bag without adding any bulk.There are a lot of nice features that have been discussed in other reviews. I like the function of using the back dial to zoom in and zoom out which basically allow you to operate the zooming with one hand easiy. Yes, I can do this with two buttons on Canon XSI too but it is not as neat as NEX-6. There are other functions like Wi-Fi which I consider is not the primary factor in purchasing a camera, but it does add convenience. Connected iPhone to NEX-6 and uploaded pictures to iPhone, and used iPhone to remote control the shutter.It is the first time I use an EVF so it does take some time to get used to. Then you will appreciate that it gives real time feedback of how things are going to look like in the picture before taking the shot.Had some reservations with the battery life, but the battery actually works pretty good for taking over 300 ~ 400 shots easily (not using much flash though). Add you can easilly get a lot more if you shoot in burst mode. You do have to fully charge it at least twice before the battery becomes stable, i.e., holds charge much longer. Have left the battery in the camera for about three days, and it still showed 100% charge. But I bought an extra sony battery anyway.All in all, a great camera for a guy like me, not professional but likes taking pictures to capture the moment in life. Give it a try and you will be impressed!

I'm 49. My daughter is 3. There is a height disparity (though sometimes she says "I'm almost as tall as you, Daddy"). My primary camera is a Canon EOS 5D Mark III. To get pictures of my daughter's world with the Canon I am either bending over (don't try it when you're 49!) or down on my knees. The NEX-6 with the flip-up rear LCD is more like a Rollei or Hasselblad with their waist-level viewfinders. One ends up with a lot of pictures from a very different perspective than one would get with a standard camera.Video quality is superb, another critical parent-cam feature ("Come over to my house and let me show you 600 hours of unedited footage of my cute daughter!").The flash exposure system is inferior to that on $100 film point-and-shoot cameras of the 1980s, which used the focussed distance and a fixed flash output to set an appropriate aperture. I'm not sure what the Sony is doing but the result usually looks as though you had set off a magnesium distress flare in your living room. (In fairness to Sony, given that the flash is flexibly mounted the simplest distance-based exposure system wouldn't work if the photographer has chosen to bend the flash up for bouncing.)As others have noted, the battery life is short. It is just barely adequate for following a kid around for 3-5 hours. If you're planning to travel with this camera buy at least two extra batteries and come up with an elaborate protocol for charging. Also remember that despite the standard micro-USB connector the camera cannot be charged from a standard USB charger. It needs a minimum of about 2 amps at 5V (a charger for an iPad or big Android tablet should work, as does the supplied Sony charger); the typical phone charger supplies 0.5 to 1 amp.I haven't ended up using the eye-level viewfinder much. The rear LCD is typically crowded with text overlaid on the edges of the frame. Unconsciously I have ended up taking a lot of pictures that required post-exposure cropping. The composition that I wanted was what the camera was displaying on the center 75 percent of the screen (the part not cluttered with text). You can turn off some of the text but then you have no way of knowing remaining battery life or other critical information. The camera needs a mode where a 100% preview of the image is displayed on the rear LCD with text underneath or alongside. The Sony RX100 is better in this respect so maybe there is hope from a future firmware upgrade.Given that this camera costs less than any of the Canon L lenses that one typically uses with an EOS system, I am pretty amazed by the quality. I ordered a couple of the real lenses (a wide zoom and a normal prime), but they've been out of stock so I am using the $150 kit lens.

This is my first interchangeable lens camera, and I think it's fantastic. The kit lens is impressive and super functional for everyday use, going from an almost-wide-angle 16mm, all the way up to 50mm. And the zoom lens picks up where the kit lens left off, featuring the Sony Optical Steady Shot (OSS), so you can get some quality close-ups. The shots turn out really sharp, and the low-light performance is great.The tiltable LCD lets you shoot from the hip or above your head; the viewfinder is super quick and clear, and has a proximity sensor that shuts off the LCD when you use it; the hotshoe allows you to attach a mic if you want quality audio when shooting HD video; and the wireless feature cannot be underestimated, specifically for using smartphones or ipads as wireless remotes, transferring photos to your laptop wirelessly, and especially because of the apps that are available, including Picture Effect+, Time-lapse, Motion-Shot and Bracket Pro, among others.Finally, though some professional photographers are critical of Sony's lens options, I think the E-mount lens selection is outstanding for my needs.I highly recommend this camera.

I figured I'd write a quick review just to set the record straight. I've seen a lot of reviews that compare the NEX-6 to mid and higher-end DSLRs. I've seen the NEX-6 compared to cameras like the Canon 5D Mark iii and claim the image quality of the NEX-6 is good, but doesn't compare to a 5D Mark iii. That's just ignorance. To take away stars from your review of the NEX-6 because it doesn't perform as well as a DSLR that costs 3 times as much doesn't make sense. My guess is the writers of those reviews don't understand the point of a mirrorless system (in fact, some of them even call the NEX-6 a DSLR in their reviews).Mirrorless cameras excel in situations where carrying a full sized DSLR is prohibitive or awkward. For me, photography is about having the camera with you when a scene presents itself, not lugging around a DSLR, setting it up on a tripod, leveling the tripod, framing the shot, etc. With the NEX-6, photography is fun, not a chore.The NEX-6 achieves great image quality in a wide range of environments (the low light performance on the NEX-6 is exceptional for a mirrorless). The camera doesn't look as intimidating as a DSLR which makes it easier for me to get nice candid shots (both family and street photography) because people don't immediately freeze and force a fake smile.I own the NEX-6 and almost exclusively use it with the Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 (SEL24F18Z) or the Sony 50mm f/1.8 (SEL50F18). The image quality with the Zeiss 24mm is absolutely stunning when you do your part. The kit lens is really only workable if you shoot JPEG. If you're just a point-and-shooter, you'll probably be happy with the quality of the kit lens. I only shoot RAW, so my kit lens just gathers dust.If you're pixel peeping at 100% crop, yes, a full size DSLR will have better image quality, but you'll only notice the difference if your prints are 8 x 10 or larger. At 1/3 the price and 1/2 the size of a Mark iii, I'll take the NEX-6 any day. I know I'll have the NEX-6 with me when that shot presents itself.

If you are a Mac user, you're out of luck with many of the hi-tech features of this camera -- the Wi-fi will not work, because the Sony-supplied software is not Mac compatible. This detail is buried on p. 65 of the user's manual.Camera is not user-friendly or intuitive -- Sony has buried menus within menus, and it is often not clear where to search for something -- for example, it has menus called "application," "setup," "playback," "image size," "brightness/color" and one with the vague name "camera." The main menu button is unlabeled.I have used Lumixes and Canons before, and found them much more intuitive. I spend way too much time staring at the back of the camera and fiddling with nested submenus.Performance: Many photos came out soft. At one point the camera froze up and would not turn off until I removed the battery. I sent it in for warranty repair. Since Sony was too cheap to include a plastic back cover for the lens, when I sent it in, the back of the lens was uncovered. (Sony insisted I send body-only, then 3 weeks later asked me to send the lens too.) It was more than a month in repair service. I will find out soon whether it's any better now, but this camera has taken the joy out of photography.

Love this camera.Pros:Image quality outstanding.Nice compact size and weight.Lots of flexibility with settings and features.GREAT low light performance.I used it extensively on an extended trip to Ethiopia and came away with fantastic pics including some very low light, handheld pics inside churches and caves.Cons:Not wild about the 16-50mm electronic zoom lens that comes with the kit. Yes it is relatively compact, but I found the power zoom to be clunky.The Sony "app store" that lets you download applications is a disappointment. They charge extra for features the camera should have built in (like bracketing), and it is very clunky to download those apps.Built in HDR setting not greatVideo shutter button is in awkward location for your right thumb. Can't find it easily without looking.Overall: Great camera and very happy.

To make it short, as there's detailed good reviews over here, I've been using a Nikon D90 for almost 4 years and loved this camera very much. When I decided it's time to update, compactness was my first priority but with minimal loss in the quality and the usability. Well, after almost 3 weeks with the NEX6, I can confirm that image quality is definitely there, especially in JPEG. With raw, as the kit lens has clearly visible vignetting and distortion especially at 16mm, you need either the Sony image data converter (excellent for automatic correction) or Lightroom with a profile. But IMO this is only needed for delicate situations (high contrast, use of very high ISO, lots of dynamic range). JPEG are really excellent for most occasions. (I know other people swear only by RAW, they probably should skip the 16-50). High ISO performance is good, 1600 is usable straight out of camera, and 6400 is not that bad after Lightroom correction.As for usability, it's not yet as good as an advanced/expert DSLR. I like how the rear dial can be used for multiple functions and replaces few buttons (ISO, exposure compensation and drive mode) but it requires a 3-step operation instead of 2 with physical buttons. AF speed and accuracy is good, almost as good as in a DSLR except for moving subjects and low light. But few seconds delay for focusing is not a big deal if you're not shooting action. The Fn button is a life savior to change a lot of settings (e.g. AF and metering modes) without diving in the awful menu. To sum it up, I would consider that what we lose in ease and speed of settings is largely compensated by the compactness of this camera when the 16-50 is mounted. It fits in large pockets, you can carry it on your shoulder a whole day and you won't feel it. If you need other lenses, you can put them in any pocket. I have the promising 35mm f/1.8 on order and I'm currently using the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G and the Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 via an adapter. Manual focusing is easy with focus peaking and magnification, although it requires several seconds to achieve. Ah yes, the EVF is really nice, and I'm already used to it. The image is as large as in a Full frame DSLR, and the possibility to preview the image that will be captured is a very convenient feature that compensates the lack of "reality" that is lost compared to an optical viewfinder. After all, what's the point of direct view through the optical viewfinder if the sensor will not capture it as we see it?Higly recommended for DSLR shooters that look for a compact and very capable camera.

This is a very good camera potentially which is why I gave it 4 stars. However, I could give this camera 3 stars because the menu design creates barriers to maximizing the potential of the camera. What's the use of paying for a DSLR and being limited to the "auto: settings because reconfiguring the menu to make it provide conventional tools is a rubes cube? May as well get a good P&S. Add to that challenge a limited lens inventory for Nex cameras (though Sony is beginning to add lenses} and horrible battery life. The AF focus is okay but not as fast as my Canon DSLRs or my EPI-5. Those are irritating issues, Otherwise the camera has very good feel, it has built in flash, it has built in EVF --all important features and a company that is an innovator--all great qualities. I have decided to keep my Nex 6 although I also have a Pen EPL-5 which is a terrific camera, better battery life, less expensive, great MFT lens inventory. I have purchased a prime lens for the Nex 6 and the images are very good. Now I have to figure out the menu. I cannot recommend this camera==not yet, if at all, If I cannot maximize its potential I will sell it.

Actually for the machine quality. I cannot say a word but it s the best camera for its price. I have read a lot of review in DPReview and compared lot of cameras.What is this rating for? This rating is for losing my trust to Amazon.com. I have been shopping more than 4 years and this happens first. After paying tax the price difference between Best Buy and Amazon.com is zero on that product. And I trusted Amazon.com and bought this camera. But when I get the camera it has no safety band on its box. There is no coverage on the screen. The CD Rom is used. The battery pack was open. I can buy that open box around 400 bucks. So why should I need to pay extra 150 plus TAX?

Background;- We are solid Canon fans. We own the Canon 40D, 5DMarkIII, and several canon compacts.- We have, over time, chosen select Sony compact cameras for their size/speed/etc. This is our 3rd Sony camera.I purchased the NEX-6 in November as an early Christmas present. Also purchased the 50mm f1.8 and the Sigma 30mm f2.8 lenses for the e-Mount series. I selected the NEX-6 over the NEX-7 due to the increased cost of the NEX-7 coupled with complaints from customers with views that seem to indicate that the NEX-7 wasn't really ready for release.After approximately 500 photos and a dozen movie segments, I can report that this camera leads our Canon DLSR's in several areas. I am completely impressed.Pros;- Size (it is amazingly compact for the performance. With the pancake lens, it's a coat-pocket camera.)- Speed (This camera is extremely fast. And quality of resulting images does not suffer in exchange for speed.)- Convenience (on auto, the camera adapts extremely well to multiple environments, both indoor and outdoor)- Color representation (The camera nailed almost every situation in terms of color balance)- Clarity (no matter the lens, the camera produced sharp and clear pictures in almost all cases, even in difficult situations)- HD Movie performance (very satisfied with the results)Cons;- Limited lens selection (need a better selection of telphoto and zoom)- Battery must be charged in the camera by USB chord- Kit pancake lens at wide angle needs improvement- Cost (while I still consider the camera a good value to me, I believe this technology/cost ratio should be more in line with entry-level DSLR cameras)Lens;- Pancake kit lens is funky at the wide end, but otherwise fast for its specs and overall a good lens.- Sony 50mm f1.8 is my favorite so far. Brilliant, sharp, and very fast for portrait shots.- Sigma 30mm f2.8 is decent. Considerably slower when compared to Sony lenses in the same f-stop ranges.I am waiting for the Sony 35mm prime e-mount to be in stock. I'm betting on it to become the best in walk-around lensware on this camera.At the end of the day, I would absolutely buy this camera again, although I would look for a price drop in the near future.The 4-star rating balances the excellent performance of this camera with the lack of lens selection and the price.

I bought this camera specifically for a trip to Ghana, knowing that I would be the position to capture some amazing images. This camera did not disappoint then or since. I've used it capably for simple photography on the automatic setting or for more detailed and higher level shots on manual settings without fail. I will admit that the menu is not the most intuitive thing ever, but you know what? I figured it out. After some practice you will too. Nothing good comes that easy.PS. I won a University of Washington photo contest with a photo I took on the automatic setting without any touching up. True story. This camera rocks.

This camera is awesome. I am new to a fancy camera so I purchased a book that explains all of the features. The great thing about this camera is it is completely intuitive. It is simple enough to use straight out of the box but when you learn about the features you can turn off the auto settings and start to manipulate your photographs and settings manually. It has everything you could possibly want. I love the fact that you can hook you camera to wifi and share all of your photos with your smart phone!

Everything I've read about this camera seemed to point to it being a solid choice, especially for what I wanted; good quality and light weight. I'm a very amateur photog, but hope to be pro or at least semi-pro some day. So far, my dealing w/ this camera have me flustered. I have yet to really get into the photo specific controls and features, but again, from everything I've read, this has some quality specs. Where it's lacking for me is on the software side.One of the shooting features I wanted to use almost right away was the time lapse. I found that was a separate $10 download from the Sony store. That seemed like something that should be a standard feature on a camera of this class, but I got past that and was ready to plunk down the money for this feature/functionality that I really wanted. On multiple attempts from several different computers and browsers I have been stumped trying to get this to work. Each time it says some part of my OS or browser is incompatible or just never begins any sort of install process. I've tried from both a Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit computer w/ Firefox, Chrome and IE. I've also tried the using the built-in wifi on the camera through my home network. Something is just not jiving w/ my NEX-6 and the Sony Playmemories app site and there is little I can find for support.The second software related issue I have is w/ the video file format. AVCHD .mts files will not play through Quicktime, which is the specific codec pack used by an image stabilization program I use. That program, vReveal may be the real problem, but it seems the video file format Sony uses should be a little more compatible.Again, I have barely got into the real photography part of this camera, but I had some very specific use cases in mind for it, i.e remote controlled aerial photography, and this camera is not coming through.

The Sony nex, unlike my Nikon D80 is so much lighter to carry as I go on my walks. It has as much to offer giving me so many options to get the type of shot I choose at the touch of a button. Closeups are a snap with the adjustable viewfibder, affording me angles I couldn't possibly get, though I still prefer the eye viewfinder for most shots, but that too is an easy switch. I'm discovering new features each outing, so much fun! I would definitely recommend this camera to all levels of expertise.

i use this camera for sport shots of the kids. I can capture action shots with this better than my 10K$ Cannon. It is easy to use. take some time messing around with the setting and you will love it. i wish I had an endorsement like this when i was looking. I took no flash - low light pictures of my daughters ballet from 150 feet away in a darken auditorium and it was amazing. I took pics of my son running the football - fast action setting- from 100 feet away and they were clear as can be. We did kid portraits in the Fall leaves and they are spectacular. NEX system is the next step in digital photography. no mirrior. No problem.

I have old Pentax K10D which is heavy, bulky and cumbersome, and likes a lot of fiddling to get proper photo. But the end results are generally good. I also had many point'n'shoot cameras with the last one being Sony HX-5. It was very smart, and would take two shots when it wasn't sure (silhouette on white background, for example). So this NEX-6 embodies hybrid of two. It's point'n'shoot with some DSLR qualities. Only downside is autofocus speed in bad light. It can be slow and hunting.General still image quality out of camera is pretty good. It's "sweet 16" sensor. I shoot RAW to resolve any exposure or white balance issues in Post-Processing. 10fps continuous shooting is pretty amazing. I also use this camera as my video camcorder. And it is pretty good in low light like in dance studio. The ability to set certain parameters for video like White balance and exposure compensation is very promising - in fluorescent or tungsten light I get better video. I use optically stabilized lens for my video.Built-in flash is too low for some bigger lenses so I'm planning to get some external small flash gun. Built-in flash can be bent to point to the ceiling (if there is a ceiling) to achieve soft shadows.Menu system is split into big (hard to scroll thru) and illogical groups, so it takes time to learn it. But all shooting options are available either from 4-way controller or from Fn button.I recommend this camera for beginners because it has a lot of good automatic controls and spot-on exposure, and for enthusiasts since it has many fiddling capabilities.

I wanted to upgrade from my Canon S-95. I primarily take concert photographs so low light performance and quick resets are important. Upgrading to a full SLR would be nice, but some venues don't allow them and they're more expensive. This camera works out as a good compromise. My next step is to invest in some additional lenses, but the compact size and strong feature set are working well for me.

This review is not about the camera, although the camera seems to be fine. I bought this camera because, being at the end of its marketing cycle, it was cheaper and seemed good -- and after a couple of weeks I still am pleased with the choice.This review is in praise of Amazon. A week after I purchased the camera the price dropped another $25.00. To my surprise I received an unsolicited refund from Amazon for $25.00. Res ipsa locatur.

I used this camera for the first time on my European vacation and I am impressed! I am pretty much a dummy when it comes to the manual features, but the Intelligent AUto feature was amazing! The camera would know when I needed longer exposure for lack of light, as well as, knowing when my target was in motion. A great starter camera that can fit in a jacket pocket! I love love love it!

I did alot of research before buying this camera. I was also looking at similar Fujifilm cameras. After considerable research, I came to the conclusion that the Fujifilm is a great camera but is marginally better than the NEX 6. If you are looking for a more hip or stylish camera I would go with the Fuji but the NEX 6 still looks good hanging around my wife's neck.It was not unitl I went in to best buy and actually used the NEX 6 that I actually considered buying it. I had not realized until the store how small the camera is even compared to the Fuji. The lense collapsing is a huge plus. It has also been very easy to use and from the first day we have been able to take good looking photos in auto mode.I am not a professional photographer but have really enjoyed taking pictures with the camera.When relatives pull out their DSLR I almost feel bad for them.
