Greetings!
I'm currently having a basic DSLR set,

- Nikon D7000 ( whole set including lens )
- Nissin Di622
-AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D
and I was thinking whether should I sell it off and get an extremely good compact camera?
My DSLR has been collecting a lot of dust unfortunately due to the fact that I'm just too darn busy nowadays
And whenever I'm heading out, I'll be too lazy to bring out my DLSR due to the fact that it's heavy and bulky

What I'm seeking for is a Digital Compact Camera that has built in WiFi in it so that I can straight away send my photos to my iPhone and upload it on social networking websites
Also, a camera that is small and light, not forgetting good recording audio quality

I'm more to an outgoing person. What do you guys think?

I can totally understand your feeling. there are a lot of good compacts on sale nowadays.

For smaller zoom and size, you can go for Sony RX100 (I, II or even III) or the Canon g1x ii, these 2 are the top players in premium compact field.

For bigger zoom, there's sony RX10 and panasonic FZ1000, these 2 shares a lot of similarity and have really long zoom (8.3x and 16x) but size wise close to entry level dslr.

Someone told me the A6000 has the same sensor as the D3100! Haha

impossible, d3100 is a dinosaur already compared to the technology packed a6000.

Well...
http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon_D3100-vs...00#similarities
Large sensors
D3100: APS-C 23.1x15.4mm
A6000: APS-C 23.5x15.6mm

Sensor size NEVER indicate that sensors are same.

For example, both the 5D mark III and mark II has the same size of sensor.

Does this make the sensor same?

Just like Toyota and Honda having the same displacement size engine, but they will never be the same block.

well,
according to technical specification, both were using APS-C size image sensor, and Sony is the image sensor manufacturer for both camera. however, they were manufactured with different technology and image processor, thus their image output is quite different
moreover, A6000 is mirrorless camera, with electronic front curtain shutter, enable faster shutter response, which is faster and better than d3100

no need go into so detail la, compare the age already know. impossible to use a same sensor for so long on different cameras right (other than silly canon tongue.gif)

Hold up... I'm a lil' bit confused here.
Whats the difference between SEL16F28 and SELP1650 then? Let's assume that I'm not planning to get either the UWA or fisheye converter.
Will the images of the SEL16F28 turn 'sharper'?

Don't prioritize sharpness when you are just a beginner looking to get a good camera.

the 1650 might not be as sharp as the 16 since it's meant to be a cheap and convenient kit lens instead of a professional high quality lens. but you get a good wide angle (24mm on FF equivalent) and telephoto (75mm on FF equivalent) instead of getting stucked on 24mm with the 16.

sharper image is useless if you don't get the zoom/ reach you wanted, cropping a image will always degrade it compared to physical zoom.
