There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

I mainly wanna mess with Low Light and City Photography
if you get the a6000 you might as well get it with the kit. You’ll be surprised if the photos you get but it won’t be as good as the ones you can get with the full frame. Below is a pano I did of San Diego with the 28-70 Shot with the a7
Good luck with whatever you choose!
The kit lens is just ok. I saved my pennies and got the Sony 35mm <https://www.sony.com/electronics/camera-lenses/sel35f18>. It takes advantage of the a6000 like nothing else will. Totally worth the price and you can usually find it on sale somewhere or grab it used from someone reputable.
There's also the world of analog lenses. I've got 80s Canon lenses, weird Soviet-era lenses, all kinds of lenses from everywhere. You grab an adapter for it and you go.
I started with the NEX 6, moved to an a6000, and have settled on shooting with an a6300. The thought of upgrading to a newer Sony surfaces occasionally, but there's really no need. Start with an a-series and decide if you like the system. The a7s are monsters, but you don't need to blow the cash on semi-pro to pro gear yet.

Check out the detail and crispness. https://flic.kr/p/LQXh3p Look at how well the 35mm catches the details in the hat and the person's facial hair. https://www.flickr.com/photos/artofmulata/32140988596/ Shot this at night under a street lamp by hand. The low light prowess and the lens' built-in stabilization are reason enough to own the combo.
Nice pictures btw
