Sony Alpha NEX NEX-6 Black
Its 16.1MP APS-C sensor combines with 99-point phase-detection autofocus and 10fps mechanical burst shooting to deliver responsive action capture in a compact body. The 2.4M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides a sharp, high-contrast preview, while built-in Wi‑Fi enables quick image transfer. This camera suits enthusiasts and action photographers who need fast continuous shooting and precise tracking, though its 360-shot battery life limits all-day travel use.
