Sony NEX-6, when it came on the market, without a mirror back with the NEX-3 and NEX-5 in 2010, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus did with a great potential but millions of users of compact cameras that would have put it better image without the bulk of a DSLR. Today, however, as the smartphone market continues to erode sales of compact cameras that we increasingly see their attention on a small device manufacturers - but possibly more impatient - group. Namely, fans who want an alternative compact lightweight DSLR, but still require the level of customization and control of the camera, to which they are accustomed.

As a result, the last two years, a rash of cameras with interchangeable lenses upscale like the Sony NEX-7, Olympus OM-D E-M5, Panasonic DMC-GX1 and Fujifilm X-E1 seen, what about in terms of price and features far the point and shoot development designed (ironically, the district was originally supposed to be the most profitable for the manufacturer CIT).

With the announcement of the NEX-6, Sony seems to refine the upscale design of fusion most technologies NEX-7 with the connectivity of the NEX-5R. In essence, the NEX-6 combines the features of a camera oriented amateur - knobs and a high quality viewfinder - with Wi-Fi capabilities and applications. Strangely, however, given that it is a device that is obviously designed to operate the Sony Touch Screen in the NEX-5N, 5R away found created to appeal to smartphone owners.

Meanwhile, the Sony NEX-6 resulted in the e PZ F3.5-5.6 power zoom 16-50mm OSS. The design of the retractable zoom folds up to a little less than 30 mm when it is turned off, making it one of the smallest lenses kit on the market - and most compact optical E-Mount E 16mm F2.8 Pancake available outside Sony. Impressively, the new lens is slightly lower than Panasonic PZ 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 OIS zoom power, while a useful field of view wider wide end (24 mm vs. 28 mm equiv.) But only a little less reach the end of the TV (75mm against 84mm equiv.).

As with respect to the optical power, the 16-50mm is in line with what you expect from a complex kit lens, retractable and affordable. The sharpness is pretty good, but the angle wide angle (where a lot of distortion correction performed) performance is not very large. It performs quite respectable for a kit zoom and offers considerable comfort.
The only limiting factor is the maximum aperture of F3.5-5.6 range (standard for this type of lens) that is not really bright enough to be used in very low light without flash. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps, but of course no motion blur of the subject is to be prevented.

Like most new DSLRs, Sony made the jump in screen size to 3in, but equipped with the A700 model featuring a high resolution 640x480 resolution, four times finer than the typical 230k screens. And as each digital camera has a TV output, with better models, even for analog component HD connectivity options, the A700 goes even further with an HDMI port for HD digital output.
