Summary
The Sony Alpha a6000 maximum resolution of 6000 x 4000 pixels (24 megapixels) is better than the Alpha 7S highest resolution of 4240 x 2832 pixels (12 megapixels). The Alpha 7S is equipped with larger sensor than the Sony Alpha a6000: Full frame (35.8 x 23.9 mm) versus APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm). It is very significant difference between these cameras because large sensor allows the photographer to make pictures of the more professional quality. The Alpha 7S offers a wider ISO range of 100-102400 than 100-25600 ISO range of the Sony Alpha a6000. This ISO range allow you to make better pictures in more difficult conditions. The Sony Alpha a6000 has more number of focus points than the Alpha 7S: 179 vs 25. More number of focus points means less risk of losing focus lock during tracking a moving subject.
The Alpha 7S has better maximum shutter speed - 1/8000 second.
The Sony Alpha a6000 is produced with built-in flash. The Alpha 7S is weather sealed which means that the camera has protection from rain, snow, dust and sand. The Alpha 7S battery life is better than the Sony Alpha a6000 battery life. According to CIPA standards you will be able to make 380 shots with the Alpha 7S and only 360 with the Alpha a6000. The Alpha a6000 weighs 344g that is 145g lighter than the weight of the Alpha 7S.
The Alpha 7S and the Sony Alpha a6000 have the same number of pros though as the Alpha 7S has larger sensor that is a very significant advantage then this camera will be the best buy.
