It is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera ( MILC ), which has a smaller body form factor than a traditional DSLR while retaining the sensor size and features of an APS - C - sized model. It is targeted at experienced users, enthusiasts, and professionals. It replaced the NEX - 6 and NEX - 7. Review websites note that although the α6000 uses a 24 MP sensor like the Sony NEX - 7, the Sony α6000 can also be seen as more of a replacement of the Sony NEX - 6. At the time of its release, the Sony α6000 was advertised featuring the `` world 's fastest autofocus '' with lag of 0.06 second and 11 fps continuous shooting with tracking AF. Its MSRP is $700 with a 16 - 50 mm power - zoom kit lens f / 3.5 - 5.6. Despite the announcement of an updated model in February 2016, the α6300, Sony has said they will continue production of the α6000.
