The design aesthetic is similar, though the newer model has a slightly more premium look and feel than its predecessor. The A6000 is actually noticeably larger than the NEX-6, but not significantly so. We poked around the new interface, which we found to be a refreshing change from the NEX format of yesteryear. We had a few minutes to check out the A6000 ahead of CP+.

You also get a handful of apps on the camera itself, ranging from the free Direct Upload (for sharing images online) and Photo Retouch applications, to a few that you'll need to purchase, such as Time-lapse and Lens Compensation (for minimizing lens distortion).

Like its predecessor, the A6000 also includes WiFi and NFC, so you can shoot via the Android or iOS app, or transfer images from the camera to a smartphone or tablet. There's a pop-up flash, a Multi Interface Shoe, 1080/60p and 24p video capture with clean HDMI output, seven customizable buttons and 4K still image output to a compatible TV. You have two interface options here: the love-or-hate-it six-tile NEX menu that dates back to 2010 with the NEX-3 and NEX-5, or the recently refreshed tab-style Alpha UI, which we prefer. Like other recent Alpha CSCs, the A6000 includes an OLED viewfinder with 100 percent frame coverage and a tilting 3-inch 921k-dot LCD. The A6000 will ship for $800 with a 16-50mm power-zoom kit lens, compared to the $1,000 Sony was commanding for the NEX-6 back in 2012. Those focusing improvements are most notable in our book, but the price drop is surely worth a mention, too. You also get 11 fps continuous shooting with tracking AF. There's a brand-new 24.3-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor paired with a BIONZ X processor at the core, enabling what Sony's calling the "world's fastest autofocus." We're talking lag of just 0.06 second, thanks to the 179 phase-detect and 25 contrast-detect AF points. The A6000 is here to replace one of 2012's most exceptional shooters, and despite the NEX-6's success, this fresh 2014 model is the one to own. Well, Sony's really done it this time - your still-crisp NEX-6 may now be marked for an early retirement.
