Tom’s Guides just published their Best Mirrorless Cameras of 2016 and Sony holds 3 of the top slots.
Our favorite mirrorless camera for beginners is the Sony a6000, which costs just under $600, yet shoots at a blazing-fast 11 fps, takes great pictures in all conditions, and has a compact body. More advanced photographers might prefer its successor, the Sony a6300 ($1,149), which takes even better photos in low light, and can record video in 4K. If you want to wait—and splurge a bit more—Sony has also announced the a6500 ($1,400), which also has 5-axis image stabilization. Regardless of which one you choose, you should check out our guide for taking great pictures with the a6000 and a6300.
