Stabilization is in the lenses, not the body.

The Sony A3000 is smaller, lighter, cheaper, than the 6000 with many of the basic features. Get the Sigma 19,30, and 60mm 2.8 lenses to go with it .

There is no way that you should pass up the NEX-7 deal at $498.00 if it is still available. I have one and am not interested in upgrading to Full Frame. The images are incredible, the lens choices are multiple, and the learning resources are everywhere. Paired with the 18-105 "G" glass lens, you have a camera that is tack sharp, and the video is outstanding. I switch back and forth with ease because that lens is a power zoom and there is no noise in the video. You cannot go wrong with either Sony.

Yes it does, I tested it out at 1/5 of a second, hand held, in low light and it captured a great image. You can see its not bad. With my Nikon, 1/60 sec is all the lower I will go hand held to be safe.

With reference to the a6000, you might want to hunt the Hog for my post on 'off' battery drain. I am getting near the end of my second experiment with a6000 'off' battery drain on the Sony 1040 mAh battery. The first was on the Promaster 1100 mAh battery which sells for about half the cost of the Sony. Both batts are 7.2 volt lithiums.

I have the Olympus OMD EM1 which is pricier but the EM5 may be more in your price range. It is superior to my DSLR cameras from the past in image quality and the light weight and small size makes it a real gem. It is a great camera so you may want to check it out. Good Luck.

Not completely correct, the GX7 has.

A 6000 is a great choice. I use the sony G pro lens 28-105 f4, the zeiss 24 f1.8, and the sony 50-f1.8 for portraits. Also use a carry sling for travel I would suggest a dedicated a 6000 book to learn all its many capabilities.

If you think you might like to shoot in manual mode, I'd suggest the Olympus OMD EM-10 as an alternative to the A6K. The oly has dual control wheels, which make it a breeze to adjust both aperture and shutter with ease. The sony has only one control wheel, for shutter speed. To control aperture you have to use the dial, which, to my fingers, is a pain.
Also, a lot of "left eye" people don't like the placement of the evf on the A6K.
To me, the oly is just more pleasurable to shoot. But the image quality of the sony is certainly very fine.

I imagine if you are left eyed it would be almost as much of a hassle as th oly. But it's so nice for everyone else not to have to squash your nose anymore
