I just ordered this Sony. I tried it and fell in love with it. Fits right in my pocket, and has an excellent Zeis lens, 24-720mm plus fast focus and excellent video. For $428 you can't go wrong for a all around vacation camera with a pop up viewfinder. Reviews rate it highly.
I do not think you can go wrong with the SONY a6000, has a APC, sensor and can use Zeiss lenses and the price is right.
Check it out.
Try shooting jpeg and forget Raw. It shoots action faster, press photographers shoot Raw for sports. Try shooting wide open f2.8 and Auto ISO and check out noise level, if still too nosey, take off Auto ISO and adjust ISO for effect desired. Good Luck

Watch GaryFong.com/onelightportraits, using on camera flash w/lightdome. Less expensive way to go. BV
Busch Gardens. Ask anyone for directions.
I own it and love it. I bought the 18-200mm (27-300) Sony lens, Check out GaryFong.com/SonyA6000 Video review. You will be amazed at what this camera can do.
On the top of camera, next to Shutter and right of Movie Record Button, there is a Button, which shows symbol of 3 frames. This is the Auto Bracket Button.
Press and it shows how many bracketing you want. Turn to OFF.
Enjoy you camera. It is the best (my Opinion) DO IT ALL Camera, without having to buy all kind of lenses and accessories. I have the Leica V-Lux 4, which is the same camera as the Panasonic Lumix FZ200. BV
VERI-LUX PANORAMIC are the best Progressive, in my opinion. You can order them with UV, Scratch Resistance, Anti-Fog Resistance & Transition. Of course, these are not inexpensive. $500-$600, without frames. Ask and let them show you the difference. Have no trouble focusing. Used them for many years. Just ordered my 3rd pair. Good Luck BV
Good question. Maybe the one's that buy it, thinks it may make them a better shooter or some folks just like having the latest.
PANASONIC LUMIX FZ200, SELLING FOR ABOUT $400. Has Leica lens.
f2.8 CONSTANT all the way from 25mm-600mm and very sharp. Check it out at B&H.
TILLALL FOR ABOUT $150. WILL HOLD ANY HEAVY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT B&H HAS THEM.
I use the Leica V-Lux-4 which is almost the same as the Panasonic Lumix FZ-200. I am very happy with the results.
Both have Leica Lens 25mm-600mm at a constant f2.8.
What more do you want, especially if you are not doing Professional work. This is the perfect camera for Travel & all around fun shots & you do not have to spend a lot for extra lenses. You have all you need. Check it out. I have done a wedding with it and shot over 1000 images, and the Bride, Groom & family, loved them. What more can I say. I am a retired Wedding Photographer of 50 years in business. BV
What's the advantage of printing your own versus, letting CosCo print them?
They do very good work and saves tons of money on paper, inks and replacing printers. BV
Gary Fong's Cromedrome Lightsphere, is recommended for groups. Suggested use is:
ISO 800, TTL 580 or simular, F 4.0 @ 1/45 sec,, Tripod, Wide Angle 35mm equivalent,
Set to Manuel. WOW Going to get a lot of feed back on this. Enjoy
