Based on my experience with a t3i APS-C with various lenses, lugging them around, and reading reviews, I would think about a mirrorless system.


I concur.
I have a NEX3n and find it's performance every bit as good as many entry level DSLRs. I would think you might consider the Alpha 6000. It'll do everything you want superbly.

Yes I too have the NEX3NL/B and against my Nikon D810, does not compare to the output of the D810. It has its place like in my pocket but not anywhere else. The A6000 is a 24 mg apsc camera and can not compare with the output of the 36 mpx, with incredible low light, and the dynamic range of the D810 or with any of the superb professional lenses out there. You sir are a charlatan and likely a poor excuse of a photographer. I believe you next statement should be, "I have a Kodak Brownie and find it's performance every bit as good as many entry level DSLRs".

So, Mark, let's see who you are. You now claim the D810 is an "entry level DSLR" since that is the comparison set up by Rob. You call him a "charlatan and likely a poor excuse of a photographer"

Well the D810 is NOT AND ENTRY LEVEL DSLR. The OP said they were looking at an entry level DSLR on a budget of $1,000 or less. Can you get the OP a D810 with a lens for less than 1K? Can you?????

Well, Mark, Rob is not a charlatan, merely someone trying to help with a clearly defined issue. So while Rob is not what you claimed, you, sir, are …. not going to get me to sink to your level.

These forums are not about keeping anything to yourself. In fact, one's personal observations and limited experience are often presented as definitive and conclusive. My response was perhaps extended but no more so than anyone else who makes a similar claim. How many times are you going to read, this is really good when in fact it unsupported by any evidence, or citation and conflicts with even common sense. Again, many express their personal and limited experience as fact.

You are correct. You are not at my level.

I had a Nikon D5000 which I really loved. I think they are up to the D5300 now in the series. It had an articulated screen and numerous scene modes to choose from. Sams club has several entry level DSLR packages at very attractive prices.

You could have stopped there as that pretty much sums up your usual contribution.

And how would you know? Oh! You obviously think you ...

Nevermind, you make it too easy....

I will just stop reading you since you never contribute anything of real value.

Have a nice life. :-)
