I've owned an a6000 for over a year (you can see mt photos taken with it on http://journeyofkhan.us). I replaced my former NEX5 with it (kept my existing Tamron 18-200 lens). It's a great camera. I feels heftier and more camera like than the NEX5 while still being very small and compact. It's got easy access to your ISO settings as well (which the NEX5 didn't have).
I bought mine for AU$679.00 in May of 2015 from a retail store in Melbourne (just the body).

djsumdogNot a bad price. Mine was May 2014 with kit for $800, no tax in US. Great camera but the lens lineup needs to be upgraded or at least new lens added. I've opted with the Zeiss 24/1.8. It's expensive but well worth the price.

KGBMikeWhat focal length do you like? I tried the 35mm and wasn't a huge fan of it. I'd recommend the 24mm. I have shots posted on flickr.com/unsignedzero and 500px.com/unsignedzero. Most of my street shots use the 24mm.

lastzeroWith the 40mm before hand, when I got the 35, I was kinda used to that focal length, so I'm liking it. I wanted the 24mm but it was a bit outside my budget. Its probably a way better walk around lens than the 35 at that sensor size. But for that chunk of change, I got the 35 and the 8mm(super fun to shoot with).
Love your photos! How are you liking 500px? I've been thinking of getting on there.
Also, your link on your profile on flickr, which goes to 500px is broken I think.

KGBMikeThanks. I need to get back to 500px since I've been too busy with work but it will happen. I'm not a huge fan but it does do the job. I love the 24 and that's why I got it. You'll not be disappointed. Most of the people I've talked to love the 24 and don't regret it. Even if it costs a lot, it will last for a long time to come.
I'm sure you saw my latest bird images? https://www.flickr.com/photos/unsignedzero/sets/72157651628331510

KGBMikeYep it is. If you're willing to share an email I'd be happy to tell you more since I think we have a page full of our chat on a product page.
