## Questions & Answers

**Q: I understand that this camera does ot have image stabilization, If not then we have to buy lens with it ?**
A: The image stabilizer in lenses works better with my NEX-7. Part of this, I am guessing, is that phase detection autofocus sensor areas work better in a pentaprism DSLR, such as Canon EOS. My T3i rarely ever focuses on the wrong subject. The only two brands I have used that have excellent autofocus are in Fujifilm and Nikon. Otherwise, a P&S camera with contract detection actually works better than phase detection only relevant to exposure, but when phase detection works properly, it is often dependent on the lens, aperture, and wide/telephoto angle. The lack of phase detection in the NEX-7 is only better because the AI in the a6000 is not Sony's forte in terms of their algorithm team, but maybe their design team is better geared for the UI. Although I prefer Panasonic over Sony anymore, even Panasonic is showing delays and errors in properly autofocusing thanks to using the 1" sensor found in RX100. Any RX100 model has the same, faulty bokeh as found in the interchangeable lens systems, but that is because they don't cost double the price the NEX-7 is worth. You pay more for a product that works better in most cases, and this is no exception. Hope this helps. If budget is an issue and you want great photo and video quality, the only model I recommend (alas, mine broke by accident) is the Sony DSC-HX60V. It has great photo quality, focuses accurately in most cases, and has good video quality, but it does struggle big-time with hunting in low-light conditions, even though the quality is still close to the RX100. Just be sure to buy the European model of the HX60V, as the American models have smeary detail, and at the time I bought that model, it was not available in the US and Canada. You have to change the format to NTSC, as the default is PAL. Read my review on the HX60V, as I would not mind buying it again, but have had some discrepancies deciding between other technology I can't even begin to explain here.

**Q: Hey all, this might sound silly.. but if i buy this camera, will it fit in this bag? http://amzn.to/2kGZKW0**
A: Definitely will fit!  The a6000 is a fairly small camera body, I have the same bag and the inside is massive - will fit the camera, lenses, and any flashes or extra batteries too - definitely recommend getting a bag as it has saved my camera's life during multiple photography trips!!  Case Logic is a legit brand, Best of luck

**Q: Is this camera the next in line for what would have been the NEX7 successor?**
A: The a6000 really is the successor to the NEX-7. The a7's are full frame as the NEX-7 and the a6000 are APS-C sensor camera's. The a6000 is the very best camera out there for money-quality. I've owned the NEX-7, and there is no comparison to it vs the a6000.  If you get the a6000, I recommend you get the sony 18-200 lens or the tamron 18-200. You'll be real happy.

**Q: What is a level gauge display?**
A: Its a digital level displayed on screen to aid it keeping the camera level with horizons especially useful for landscape photography.  While most recent Sony cameras have this feature it is surprisingly absent from the a6000.  It is unknown if the limitation is hardware or software based at this time as Sony isn't commenting.
