Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens (Black) + SEL 55-210 Ultimate Bundle (E2SNNEX6LB)
Pros: My Search Has Ended
Cons:
Other Comments: I use this camera mostly to photograph my twin 3yr old grandsons. It has not let me down. I am also a retired biologist and I shoot a bundle of macro work using the adapter and my prime Pentax lenses. I like the apps available and will shoot some time lapse work when I get the time ( stars and various things) I have 7 other excellent cameras but I am using my Nex 6 by far the most.

Can use mobile phone to control the camera while seeing an image from it. The only con is that I can already see dust on the image sensor at small aperatures. Beach Camera was AWESOME with free overnight shipping and the "ultimate bundle" really was a value.

4 out of 5 stars   Great package!
By Ramiel88 on June 15, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens (Black) + SEL 55-210 Ultimate Bundle (E2SNNEX6LB)
Pros: Good starting kit, Good Value
Cons: Some Cheap Items
Other Comments: I think this is a good package for people who want to learn how to take better photographs and wish to have a better camera in general, but are not ready to jump in to a full DSLR. The NEX-6 is a pretty great camera to grow as a enthusiast, and to learn the basics and practice your skills. This combines with the 55-210mm lens, you have a great set up for outdoor shooting, particularly for those of us who like to go hiking and backpacking a lot. Even better by the fact that this camera, although not small enough to fit in your pockets, can be carried in a jacket's pocket, or a cargo pants pockets. Even if you include all the accessories, the whole set up is pretty easy to carry along, compared to larger DSLRs and lenses. My only complain is that some of the extra items in the package, particularly the bag, are of pretty darn low quality. The filters are decent, and can help along with your camera, plus you get a pretty good understanding on how to use filters for cameras in generals. The 32G memory car is PRETTY darn useful, since you can take hundreds of photos within minutes with this camera. So a larger memory card is quite welcome. PLUS, you save a couple of hundreds of bucks with this package, if you include the price of the lens, and the accessories.

5 out of 5 stars   Surprisingly excellent
By bill hansen on May 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 16.1 MP Camera with 16-50mm Lens (SNNEX6LB)
Pros: Easy to use, Excellent High Iso, Versatile Camera Features, Compact, Light Weight
Cons: Limited E Mount Lenses
Other Comments: I bought the NEX 6 after a lot of research, hoping to find a camera which would substitute for my DSLR and its selection of lenses. The NEX more than meets that requirement. Some reviews have claimed that the Sony NEX menu system is confusing and hard to use. I haven't fount that at all. I bought a book on the NEX 6, read through it a couple of times, and that made all the difference. Almost everything one needs is easy to access with a button push or two. The NEX 6 handles higher ISOs, up through 1600, surprisingly well - better than my Canon 50D DSLR. Image quality is so good that I find myself revising my own objectives about what is possible in photography.

Pros: Interchangeable Lens, Features
Cons: loud shutter, Somewhat Slow Focus

5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera
By CT on May 05, 2013
Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens (Black) + SEL 55-210 Ultimate Bundle (E2SNNEX6LB)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: I wanted DSLR capability without the bulk and weight. In choosing between the NEX 6 and 7, I prefer the external controls of the 6, and found that 16 megapixels makes excellent, huge images. The OLED viewfinder is exceptional, and the bundled kit lenses do fine to cover my needs. The physical design has a great feel, and is easier to handle than other cameras I tried. The bundled battery is holding up fine, though I purchased a couple more to have plenty of spare power, along with a separate charger for convenience in charging when using the camera. The filters and memory are a great value, but the bag is not really made well enough for such a quality camera. It has been a great purchase. Even the service was great – had the camera next day on the west coast.

5 out of 5 stars   Auto or manual, this camera rocks!
By Sum on May 01, 2013

Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens (Black) + SEL 55-210 Ultimate Bundle (E2SNNEX6LB)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: Excellent camera and image quality! The build quality is exceptional as well. Taking pictures with this camera is fun and user friendly. The only downside is that the apps are not implemented all that well and are usually sluggish. If you are like me and have trouble deciding between the 5 and the 6...I would definitely recommend the 6. I thought I wouldn't use the EVF much, but once outside in sunny conditions, I found myself using it and preferring to use it even in indoor conditions.

Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Black) Ultimate Bundle (E1SNNEX6LB)
Pros: Love the Size, Nice features, Nice Image Quality, Feels good in hand, Solidly Built
Cons: No touch screen, A bit pricey
Other Comments: So far the camera has met and exceeded my expectations. I love the size and feel. It's great to be able to capture images at this quality without having to lug around the heavy SLRs. I was always so burdened by the weight and size of my previous SLR, yet wanted great pictures of my family when traveling. Now I will be taking more photos for sure and enjoying it!

4 out of 5 stars   Excellent camera
By balletbabyboy on April 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera w/ 16-50mm Lens (Black) + SEL 55-210 Ultimate Bundle (E2SNNEX6LB)
Pros: Excellent camera
Cons: Poor Outdoor Low Light
Other Comments: It's a nice camera. I am not a pro but it's much better than my last Cannon although it is expensive. Getting the memory card in and out is not easy. The desigh for this is not great. It doesn't seem to compensate for low light outside. I suppose you have to manually change the shutter but again I am just starting out with it and am not a protographer. I got the zoom lense with it as well which doesn't seem to get that close to distant objects. I suppose I will have to play with it more.

Pros: Built in wi-fi, High quality photos, Easy to Travel With, High quality video, Wide Variety Of Extras, Great Camera, Lots Of Lens Options
Cons: Could Have Better Menus
Other Comments: The size and weight of the mirror-less Sony Nex6 system makes it easy to take on a trip even with four lenses. The wifi makes uploading photos easy and the free Sony apps allow you to program your smartphone to remotely control the camera and upload the photos to a computer, facebook, youtube and smartphone. One of the best new cameras on the market.

Review submitted for Sony Alpha NEX-6 Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Black) Ultimate Bundle (E1SNNEX6LB)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: I've owned SLRs and DSLRs, but wanted something more compact for capturing the birth of my son. I was going to "settle" on a 5R, but the feel of the 6 in your hands was a lot better, among other things. Haven't have the time to really play with it, but the layout and location of buttons are great - I especially like the separate record button for videos.
