Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Sony A6000, which was introduced in April 2014 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Canon T8i, which was introduced in February 2020 is a Entry-Level DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor. As you can see, A6000 is 6 years older than T8i. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Sony A6000 and Canon T8i before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Sony A6000 and Canon T8i compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
