I bought the a6000, bought the course from Gary Fong, and have since updated /upgraded to the a6500. I've since bought a Altura sling bag to carry the camera and 3 lenses, which has made the transition easier. Fong's course was just what I needed ( another older person). It is astonishing how very powerful the a6000 series is, warts and all. Even quite pleased with the performance of the 16-50 kit lens, til it died.
I've come from a beloved Canon 40D, and am still learning bout what one can do with this platform. I also bought David Busch's book: Sony Alpha a6000 Guide to Digital Photography. Both purchases are / were terrific and helpful. I now have to decide if I'm keeping my 40D and the old lenses.....

The a6000 has been my go-to camera since April of 2014. I'd suggest that it will fit in the leg-pocket of a pair of cargo-pants (without the rubber eye-piece), but don't plan on it fitting in a "shirt" pocket, regardless of how big the shirt. And, with one of the "pan-cake" lenses, as well. Give yourself a chance to get used to the menu, and you're apt to get very attached to the a6000-series.
