Sony A6000 Questions

Hi, my son is looking at purchasing this camera - the only thing holding him back is that he feels he needs extra zoom & therefore would need to purchase & carry another lens, which is not ideal when he intends to travel (backpack) for at least 6 months. He loves the size of this camera, but I guess that is negated a little by the need to carry the extra lens... does anyone have any thoughts on this that may help him?

Hi, It comes with a stock lens which has decent zoom. I've found it sufficient for photography of people and architecture while travelling. What kind of photos is he taking? Will he be taking photos of animals far away?

Keep in mind that it's not weatherproof, and that it can't film for more than 10 consecutive minutes.

Hi Josh, thankyou for your reply! In the end he made the call & purchased it as he headed off a couple of days ago. I believe that so far he is delighted with it. Once again, thanks for replying. All the best... :-)

There are two kit zooms available. Both take good quality pictures and are both cheap to buy and light to carry. There is the 16 - 50mm and the 54-210m. That focal range compares to 24mm - 300mm on a full frame camera.

Should be enough for most people.
