a6000 vs a77?

[ConradM]

I've never really paid attention to mirrorless before. Are there any huge disadvantages when comparing to the a77? Do they (a6000 and a77) share the same sensor?

 

[DiskoJoe]

Well the quality is about the same on either. One disadvantage for the a6000 is that your current lenses would not fit it withou an adaptor.

 

[ConradM]

Yeah I considered that. So, are enthusiast level DSLR's being phased out?

Its kind of looking that way. The new a7 has a styling more like the Nex.

I switched to mirror less a year ago and I would never look back! For a while I thought my camera wouldn't work with my studio strobes and I was cringing at the thought of a heavy DSLR.

The disadvantages that I see are slower autofocus and lack of native lens selection. For me, worth the switch to a compact system that I never regret taking with me.

That's the thing, the a6000 is boasting the fastest AF. Like, ever.

What?! Okay- I honestly haven't looked up that one specifically I'm headed to google now.

Edit: this confirms my need to wait for version 2 of the a7! I can't wait to see what that brings! I've been ogling the a7 since before it came out, but I know mkII will be soo much better! I was hoping for faster AF and better low light (maybe to match the 5dmkIII) I'm seriously in love with sony after my NEX7 and I can't wait to see what the year brings!

 

[ConradM]

Yeah check out the tracking, it's insane.

was that even real?!

It's gonna be a long wait for the a9....better start saving now!!

 

[Nervine]

That is insane. Can't wait to see if this technology comes to the new A mount bodies rumored.

I did some more googling last night and it's almost a sure thing the a77 successor will. It'll also be mirrorless. So that's why it seems like the a6000 dumps all over the a77.
