Thanks, I will probably stay with my extensive Canon set but with everyone talking about mirrorless it looked like a good deal. As the newer models come out I see the price dropping on the older models so I may wait a little longer.

If you would like to try it purchase one used or reconditioned.
I have one I like it and paid $400.00 with one lense basically unused in excellent condition.

Any ideas on this camera? On sale with 16-50 and 55-210 lenses for 700.00. Never had a mirrorless would like to try.
Good price for a good camera. I use mine when I want or need a compact camera. I got mine on sale for $550 The 55-210mm is $350, so that's a very good deal. I still prefer a DSLR for the size, control, and picture quality.
Very good videos -

Thanks for the info on my quest for mirrorless.
If you want to conquer your quest, go for a xt2 em1ii g9 or a7iii

Thanks but I think I will dabble before I try to conquer.
Keep in mind, it's a 4 year old camera. While it's still a viable camera, as someone already said, it's long in the tooth. A lot of advancements in mirrorless technology have taken place in that time span.

The A6000 is probably the best value for a quality mirrorless camera at a bargain price. I have 2 of them with Sony and Sigma lenses and couldn't be happier with them. My Nikon now sits on the shelve and doesn't get much use. Some of the higher end cameras some have recommended are 4X the price of the A6000. How much do you want to spend?

I bought a similar kit two years ago but with the 18-55 and 55-210 instead of the current, more compact 16-50. It became my goto travel camera along with a Canon SX60. Last year, I added a 10-18 and 18-105; both are f/4 lenses. So, now, the 18-55 and 55-210 stays home. Some help with the menu system is recommended. I chose David Busch's book. But the menu setup and initial guidance is available online via a google search. Big hint - keep wifi turned off unless you are actually using it (big time battery hog). Also, on the subject of batteries, buy a couple extra and keep them with you. The a6000 loves batteries! The offering sounds like a clearance price? Doesn't matter, you'll enjoy it. Don't fret that it's a little long in the tooth.

Great camera for the first release. Change a lot of people's mind about mirrorless and size.
Downside for me good video but no connection for external mic recording. If you want video.
We now have three versions since its release. I have the 6000 and the 6300 which is sensational.
And the new 6500 beats most cameras in imagery. Good camera whatever you buy.
Good luck.

I have several and love them, but get extra batteries! Adapting old manual focus lenses on mine has been fun.
