picture for c&c

Guys, I am a total noob on photography.  Know nothing bout it, and my recent trip to bali, i took a point and shoot lumix along FT-4 along and found most pictures taken are bad, even my framing is bad.  Was at uluwatu taking pics, then a couple from swiss asked my helped to take pics for them using their dslr (not sure what it is), and they told me to just click as everything is auto.  Wow, the shot viewed from lcd was so good compared to mine.  So I am convinced i need to buy a better cam and more importantly learn how to shoot.

Walked into sony store as it has promotion now, and was attracted to the a6000.  Price with kit lens now is 2699.  Was thinking if i should buy the package with SEL50F18 where it's RM 3200.  I understand that is a prime lens right, without zoom.  Should be easier for a novice like me, one less function bout camera for me to worry about.  This camera will likely be use for travelling, taking pictures of ppl + scenery in it.  Do let me know what lens combo will suit me most.

Also is sony centre running the best promo or outside standalone camera shop has better offer?

Thanks for the tips.  Yeah, actually after reading through what u say, paying RM 300 for the kit lens seems like good value to start off.  But since my purpose is to use camera to shoot during travel/holidays, bokeh shot won't be used heavily.  WIll like to capture pic of ppl with the background, if background becomes blur, kinda defeat the purpose of the holiday shot.  what particular type of lens/settings is good for trying to take pic of two person standing by the beach, or near a cliff that can see canyon below, or where the person back ground is a mountain?  or ppl standing in front of a building/door arch/statue.....You know, those typical travel shots.

HLV-F43. very useful for A6000

melvintcs: the F20M idea is to have a stronger 'popup' flash on standby, it cannot be used as a workhorse (mean for an event)... the battery eventually last for about/less 200 shots bounce at F5.6 (mean almost full power fired)

the F20M is like a standby flash for people that usually goes around flash-less... light traveling doesnt bring big flash and just need a flash in case flash is needed.

thats the RRP d bro, i can tell you he didnt overcharged la 

Smallest external flashlite that is of any good for for me (at least specs wise) would be the Nissin i40. Why? Because it at least does portrait bounce. I very rarely shoot in landscape orientation so yeah.

But if you're afraid of proper TTL no other choice but to use a Sony unit lor. Personally I think the Metz would do fine but check reviews online first. Also, check if it's for the "new" Sony hotshoe or not, if you haven't already.

Metz to me is the best and most reliable 3rd party flash. They're ADI/TTL is just as accurate as Sony's. YongNuo/Nissin/Octopus/Sunpak/etc I don't wanna comment.

I saw this at shahinki side before can considered, i think it uses the old shoe. if planning to get adapter, there's reason restock of adapter, if want then get it fast or it wont be on market for a long long time

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 :v
You may want to look at Samyang's wideangle too, if you dont mind MF.
Still SEL 10-18 is lightest and most compact.
Shoot from a6000 + Tokina 11-16:
