The Sony Alpha NEX-6 -- The Unofficial Quintessential Guide -- is a book by photographers for photographers. Like other Rocky Nook books by these authors it is primarily aimed at users new to photography or those moving up from simpler point-and-shoot cameras. But more than that, it also is useful to more experienced photographers changing systems from other manufacturers or even those experienced DSLR users transitioning to the mirror-less e-mount system used by the NEX cameras, and now being developed by Sony as their primary system for the future.The NEX-6 is a complex camera - a wolf in sheep's clothing as it were, as feature rich and powerful as any DSLR, and one of the first to incorporate limited Wi-Fi features, enabling the user to personalize the camera with downloadable applications ("apps"). These apps can be downloaded through a computer as well as "over the air." It is a compact camera with little room for external controls. A downside to this is that the menu system is cumbersome at best, but this book does a credible job of presenting it in a comprehensible manner and demystifying some of the cameras more complex features enabled or disabled in that menu.This, however, is a review of the book, not the camera. Its authors, both lifelong photographers, have accumulated a wealth of experience way above the level of this book or many of its users. Their experience with many cameras and types of photography, both technical and recreational, makes them uniquely qualified to write at all levels of photography, which they have done over the years.
