Sony Alpha a6000 Silver
Its 24.3MP APS-C sensor and 179-point phase-detection autofocus with Eye AF deliver sharp stills, while 11fps burst shooting captures fast action. The lightweight 639g body, 3-inch articulating display, and strong value as a refurbished model make it an accessible all-rounder. This camera is best for beginners stepping into mirrorless photography, particularly for product shots and controlled studio work.
