NEX-6
When it comes to picture quality, bigger really is better. The NEX-6 comes with a huge, DSLR size APS-C sensor. This captures more light and more of the image coming into the lens reaches the sensor. The result – beautifully lit, pro-quality 16.1 megapixel shots.
The NEX-6 comes packed with the features you’d expect from a high end camera. You’ll find a HD OLED Electronic viewfinder and a multi interface shoe for a flash or other accessories. There’s even an assignable function dial so you can snap to commonly used settings.
With Wi-Fi* built-in to the NEX-6 you can connect to devices like a smartphone, tablet and more. You can upload photos to Facebook ** right from your camera. Plus, you can download apps like a remote control app that lets you shoot from your smartphone and see the picture.
Why compromise your artistic vision? Select from a choice of compact E-mount lenses - from ultra-slim wide angle to powerful telephoto zoom. Or add an optional mount adaptor and enjoy the limitless possibilities of your A-mount lens collection.
Be sure to catch blink-and-you-miss them moments with new Hybrid Auto Focus technology to capture high-speed action. It locks into focus as fast as a DSLR and takes photos faster too, making it ideal for spontaneous shots.
Direct your own movies with Full High Definition, professional looking video, thanks to a large sensor. It knows when you’re shooting in low light conditions and adjusts automatically to make the scene brighter. Plus you can quickly zoom in and out without losing focus.
