I think I'm beginning to get the hang of this little camera and am liking it more and more. It's taken awhile, but here's a mixed bag.

Isn't it a shame that Sony makes such pure crap? Seriously, the a6000 is getting a lot of good press. Looking at your pictures, one can see why. How long have you had it and what lens did you use for these photos? I am a Sony shooter.

Thanks for looking.
Actually, I was beginning to think the crap thing was real, but finally realized the crap was behind the camera. Just having cataracts done didn't help in the eval on my part.
The hummer was taken with the 55-210mm kit lens. I had to get up to 1/2000 sec shutter before I got the wings halfway decent. I think the columbine and little squirrel were taken with the same lens (I had just received a mint Sears/Pentax 135 Macro and a Pentax 50mm and was playing around so not sure which was on it), and the moth was taken with the Sears/Pentax. I really like using the manual focus with the two Pentax lenses.
I also got a set of extension tubes that I think will be really nice to use for closeups. And I got a lens reversal ring that, at the moment, would seem to be the only wasted $9 I've spent. I'm having a ball with this camera and my cheap lenses. Oh, also have a Sigma 70-300mm coming that might be a good thing. We'll see. All my extra lenses are off eBay right now.
I also have a Sony HX200V that I haven't touched since the A6000 arrived.

Oh yeah - I got it around the first of May, this year.

Gee, you're going all out with this camera; as you should. I think that once you figure things out, you will be extremely happy. It does sound like you have patience.
I will probably seriously consider the a6000 once my a580 craps out. The I.Q. on any Sony can't be beat if one knows how to use them. Just look at the posts, james56 makes. He shoots with a Sony hx300 and it doesn't even shoot raw. Incredible!
