| As a camera for photography enthusiasts, it is not surprising that the NEX-6 is generally pretty responsive. Capturing performance is fairly good, although the startup time of the camera with the 16-50mm power zoom is a bit long, and some of the apps are quite slow when operating. |
|
| Sony NEX-6 Mirrorless Camera Review (Part 6) |
| The setup menu of the NEX-6 is long and wide, and divided into several sub-categories.

In previous NEX cameras, for example, you have to delve into the menu system to tweak the exposure mode. |
