The A6000 kit lens sucks and the interface sucks. Image quality is good(when matched with reasonable lens.)
The LX100 would make an awesome fixed-lens camera.

That kit lens is really quite decent in IQ, not the most robust lens though. Yeah, that interface. It's all tough after using Canon for years.
Been reading more on the LX100 and was pretty well sold until I found this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842933-REG/Olympus_V204041BU000_OM_D_E_M5_Micro_Four.html
That's a helluva deal, might be too tough to pass up...

I'll jump in here on this one as I've gone through many a camera over the years. I'll preface that over the past 3 years I've gone from the Canon 6D to the Fuji X100T, to my current setup of the Sony A6000 for my personal setup. (note: I went from being a Canon shooter since 1999, to a Sony shooter as of 2014)

At work we've tried everything from the Panasonic GH4, to the Sony RX100, 5D II, 5D III, A7R to finally the Sony A7R II and Canon 5D SR as the current rigs we use... I've played with a few cameras...

So with that said, you're going to have a hard time beating the image quality and range that the A6000 provides. My personal opinion is that the RX100 is an amazing pocket camera and easy to recommend to anyone if they can afford the price tag, but the 1" sensor is no match for the A6000's APSC sensor.

The Fuji X-Tran sensor provides amazing color, but it has issues in low light.

The Sony RX10 II and the RX100 IV both share the same sensor, but for some reason the 10 II has slightly worse image quality.

I can't really think of a good step up from the A6000, except for possibly the A6300... maybe you just need a better lens setup? either that or you might need to move to a full frame DSLR or mirrorless system (A7 II?)...

Also, I've shot micro-4/3's, and while it was cool years ago with the tiny body, and tiny lens, with high mega pixels... I can't do it anymore, the range isn't there.

He's just saying the kit lens sucks, but I thought it was pretty good. I like the rx100 ii just because it has a shoe and sometimes I like to tinker around with triggers. I've had Canon for years, mid-range bodies up the the 50D and all three 5D's, then into 1D's for motorbikes. Just sold my mk3 and will pick up a mk4, hopefully before Hantown. Had lotsa lenses from the nifty fifty to 300/2,8, even an old fd 800/5,6 that I converted to ef. Had a d800e in there for a little bit too. Anyway, this is why I relate to the dual sport thing, can't do 4/3 *only*, you'll miss the quality from the bigger sensors eventually. I'll go rx100 for rides and hikes and stuff, fz1000 for 4k or for when I want something more involved than the rx100, but don't feel like carrying a 1d tank, and then 1d4 for dirty stuff. There's just no single system that satisfies.

I never posted here. Some of last year shots:

I used to shot on canon (1Ds/5dm2) but I went to Fuji recently .

Wow that first one is ace, well done.

The A6000 has a Sony sensor, of course the image quality and DR it has is hard to beat !

Maybe my 16-50 that came with the A6000 was just a turd... but I found it seriously lacking. The interface also stunk, and those two items just made me anxious with the purchase, hence it was returned.

Of course, my Olympus OM-D interface is only moderately better than the Sonys...

Go Go Nikon

Thank you .

Kit lenses sucks 9 times out of 10. Except if the seller makes its home bundle. And this one is pricy too... That being said, this 16-50 can give some pretty amazing shots.

Thanks! Yea, it's totally grown on me. Totally different than CA, but pretty awesome nonetheless.

KTM makes mountain bikes.... do it! Just make sure you're ready to torture your legs for a while! Actually, the leg torture never stops... you just ride faster.

I use the 35 1.8 on my A6000 and love the image quality, it's really the only lens I have for it and it seems to fit almost everything I need it for.

As for the menu system, I know Sony gets shit on all the time, but has anyone looked at the menu system for Canon's pro line? (5D/1D's)... it's gawd awful as well.

Fuji's menu system is way to basic, it's not that it's a good menu system, it's just that there aren't enough options to change to make it a bad menu system.

These weren't taken with anything fancy but are still a couple of my favorites (for obvious reasons)
