Book excerpt: The Alpha Nex-6 camera from Sony is the newest in the NEX line and is also among the smallest. Reviews have applauded the improved features and capabilities despite its higher price in the market.

The Nex-6 improves function and is ideal for both the average photographer as well as the more enthusiastic. The purpose of this book is to present to users the various functions of the Nex-6 camera.
