Just to follow up: You may not be able to find the A6000 for rent any longer, but if you can, it will be pretty reasonable. I think the A6300 for four days is only about $75.

If you are on a really tight budget, and if you are already committed to the Sony system, you might consider renting something you are about to buy a waste of money. (It adds 15% to the price of the camera you are about to buy, just for a four-day trial period.)

But if you rent it out and hate it, then you saved yourself $400...

I think renting a lens before buying is a good idea, but it may take more than 4 days to learn all the ins and outs of a camera. I borrowed my daughters Nikon for a weekend test drive and got totally frustrated with it. I ended up buying the A6000 without testing. I had some difficulties initially but I got to know the camera inside out and I love it.

I have an A6000 and really like it. With the new 18-135 it a near perfect all around compact camera. Bill
I just got that lens for my two a6000s. I couldn’t agree more with you, Bill!

The a6000 works great. It is as good or better than a DSLR.
If you want to learn something about them, look at the Gary Fong tutorial on youtube. He has some very good ones.
The questions that you asked are some pretty easy ones, just look at a tutorial. I think that the sony compares very well to a DSLR, and it is a lot smaller.

I'm thinking of buying a Sony A6000: Questions:
1. How many seconds to recycle an average indoor flash picture with average battery life?
2. Can you manually set color saturation to your choice or do you just have a VIVID selection?
3. Can you see your shot in the EVF AND the back screen at the same time or do you have to switch back and forth?
4. I read the menus are not so good. Please compare to a newer Nikon menu system.
5. How quiet is the shutter compared to an average DSLR?

Your answers and input is much appreciated, Thanks Much, Bob

Great Black Friday deal on the A6000 with the two kit lens plus extras for $598 at Adorama. Don't miss it.
