First, i am in UHH mainly for education. I use my Sony 5n for real estate shots; i feel the 5n is above my understanding in some respects, so you know where i am coming from. From time to time, I nail it, and get awesome photos. My chief shortfall is using my wide angle lens from Sony. It doesn't compare with my former Sony A100 in shooting WA shots. With the wide angle lens attached, I don't see much difference compared to the normal lens 55mm Maybe I need to learn how to use it properly, so any suggestions are welcome. If there is a more effective WAL on the market, i would love to know of it.

With the Sony a7's adaptors like the metabones work very well.
Camera is manual period. I like manual for getting the most out of a situation. But sometimes you want AF etc. Ideally I own the a7s and would love the a7r when I can make that purchase.
Comparing the D300 and Sony is a it strange to me. I had the
D300 and D700 (great camera) and the D800. They are all heavy duty Nikon buildout. The 6000 is a smaller lighter camera. The a7's are really built well lightweight metal etc. They mount heavier lens but with my 70-200 I use the lens mount.
Recently a GM commercial was shot with the a7s and a 500mm lens.We wan't the Sony sensor and the incredible low light capability. The 6000 is not FF. And for me full frame is far superior for visualizing.Don't understate the market wanting a great camera in a small lighter format. Shall I say Leica!

I am going to make a bet, if you keep on reading different camera reviews eventually you will exhaust your bank account.
I am with Jerry on this one, if you have the expertise, any camera and any lens will produce nice images.
Stay with a camera, any brand, that makes you feel comfortable while you work with it and does exactly what you need.

I make part of my leaving in marketing with no shooting
and editing video. Supply stills to these client's.
I sold a lot of Nikon stuff to buy Sony's new stuff.
Kept some Nikon glass. It is true that a good photographer
can make good photo's with any camera. But as we know
experienced photographers use very good gear and glass.
The new Sony's can do stuff that most existing camera's
can't do. Like shoot at large ISO's without noise showing.
Mirrorless can take all kinds of lens. Canon, nikon, zeiss,
cine lens etc. Good luck.

I notice that the Sony A6000S comes with a 16--50mm zoom lens, but I don't find any others for the camera. What is the 35mm equivalent for the 16--50mm lens? I ask, only because up here in Alaska, it is a good thing to have a fairly long telephot capability.

I made the upgrade from the Sony A500 to the Sony A77ii. I have only 20 images from the A77ii ( i have had for almost 24 hours), but it is a great improvement from the A500 and many many more features. While the A77ii is not truely mirrorless, it is a good example of the quality Sony is producing through all their cameras.

We use the A6000 and your review of it is on the nose. The auto-select viewfinder is nice, too, as is it's portable weight and size. I would also commend its ability to focus lightening-fast.

A non FF lens us usually divide by third and add the third.
So a 24 would be a 32. This is not totally exact just an easy way for me. I have the nex 7 and I bought the Sony 18-200 for it.
Enjoy the camera.

Sony sells a 55-210 lens for the A6000 also 18-200.With the Sony Adapter Any Sony A mount lens can bee used .
I have my A6000 attached to a 100-500 lens with a 2x converter
so I can take pictures in my back yard.It is all manual focus ,but that is what we used to do

I'm about two months into learning to use my new a6000. I really like it. I'm spoiled by a hundred years of Nikon SLR/DSLRs, but I bought this to take on a Mediterranean cruise next summer. The a6000 has pros and cons, of course.

Pro. Fast. Excellent EVF. Takes 11 images faster than you can get your finger off the button.
Great AF.
Exposure is excellent. (I usually shoot A-priority, S works well too.) Shot some landing airplanes in manual and that was good. Light weight. Quick. More

Con. Only one SD slot so no backup.
Menu interface is a little quirky for a Nikon user.
No 3rd party books yet and the Sony manual is crap.
I like to shoot video with a shotgun mic. (Built in camera mics are all awful, picking up camera noise and ambient noise.) Sony has no standard way to plug one in. (They do sell a poor quality shotgun mic for a too high price. It doesn't have shock mount and must mount directly on the flash shoe.)

Final minor disappointment is that I like to put the camera on a tripod and use a radio trigger. The Yongnuos that I use with my Nikon won't work--at least Yongnuo says they won't. Maybe someone will come up with another.

With all the Cons, they are all annoyances compared with the Pros. And David Busch is releasing a book this month. So maybe that will help.

A comment about lenses. I bought the 16-50 pancake and the 55-210. Almost immediately decided, for my style of photography, I really wanted an 18-200, but it was too late. Fortunately, I have a Japanese family and one of them has "Sony connections" and is coming in a week or so--and bringing me the 18-200.

If you decide to buy the a6000 (and I do recommend it) I'll give you an amazing deal on the 55-210 lens.

Haven't looked for that. However they do have other lenses including 18-200, 55-210, several shorter lenses. Not nearly as much as for Nikon DSLRs, of course. Tamron also has a 18-210 for it.

Talking about this sort of thing usually leads, sooner or later, to a discussion creating lots of heat but little light, about the meaning and implications of crop.

This particular camera has a crop factor of 1.5, meaning that you multiply a focus length by 1.5 to get the equivalent 35mm field of view. Thus your 16-50mm will give you the same view on an A6000 that a 24-75mm lens would give on a 35mm camera.
