A roundup of 2014's mid-range mirrorless digital cameras.
What would you do if you were running a camera company now? Two of the latest and most delicious cameras in this category — mirrorless, compact, interchangeable-lens — come from Leica and, again, Sony. They have big, semi-pro-sized sensors (technically, APS-C sized) that have been ingeniously engineered to fit into coat-pocketable bodies. Herewith, a review of the Leica T-System and the Sony A6000. A snapshot, in other words, of the state of the art.
The Sony A6000 is a new compact system camera that features the fastest auto-focusing system in the world. With a 24.3 megapixel APS HD CMOS sensor, 1080p HD movies, high-res 3 inch OLED screen, electronic viewfinder and built-in flash, the Sony NEX-6 also offers 11fps burst shooting, wi-fi and NFC connectivity, and downloadable PlayMemories Camera Apps.

What's the best camera for under $500? These entry-level cameras should be easy to use, offer good image quality and easily connect with a smartphone for sharing. In this buying guide we've rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing less than $500 and recommended the best.
Sony's NEX-6 was a departure from the company's usual lineup of mirrorless cameras when it was introduced in the Fall of 2012. It slotted in between the various NEX-5 models and the NEX-7, and staked out a middle ground between the two, aiming to offer an accessible camera that offered a strong feature set for photographers. So you got a small camera with an electronic viewfinder and a degree of direct control. To this the NEX-6 offered two things that were yet to appear on any Sony mirrorless camera: an exposure mode dial and an ISO-standard hot shoe.
Take a closer look at the Sony a6000 mirrorless camera with landscape, travel and humanitarian photographer and photo educator, Colby Brown.
With improvements in technology, our cameras are getting better than ever. They’re sharper, clearer, boast amazing picture recreation, and in the case of one camera, comes with the world’s fastest autofocus seen in any interchangeable lens camera.
