Guys, A6000 any good ? In this price range, do you guys have any recommendation ? I am not a photographer, just want to use it for my backpacking trips. Mostly for landscape and nature.

Unless you have specific criteria to define "good camera", any mirrorless camera will do for your purpose. I will recommend RX100 Mark III if you have slightly more budget due to its smaller size and lens quality compared to A6000 with 16-50mm kitlens..

23mm on APSC is equal to 35mm on Fullframe.
so SEL20F28 is the nearest best choice for those who want '35mm'. at the low price. not to mention 24mm.
am i right?

SEL24F18Z i guess...

yeah forgot to mention..
but the price..

There's the FE28 too you know. A bit longer than "true 35" (42mm FFE) but much better optically than the 20 (and faster at f/2) while not being as kidney-requiring as the SEL24Z.

But yeah, at 30mm equivalent, the 20 is quite close, plus the extra wideness gives you slightly more space to play with without it turning into the "watch your corners and edges" exercise that shooting with wider WAs normally require.

Also the S19 at 28mm equivalent but you've been there already right?

unless u doing really2 close up
sharpness is quite good & with the 1/3 price of the batis, a lil bit of post processing should be enough.
but on a7ii , i cant rely on the peeking that much at f/1.4
quickly magnify zoom is faster even in event/weddings

sample

Thanks

All underwater shoot were taken with a6000 and 1650 kitlens :3
More to come~

thanks for the heads up bro.
now i dont know what is the next lens of choice as i didnt really favor the focal length of 19mm neither 20mm as the differences only 1mm

i do notice you always do the portrait.
do u do strobe ?
how many light and what trigger do you use?

a57 vs a6000 which one good for beginner?

both is good for begineer

A6000 better in autofocus area coverage, autofocus speed & noise control. A57 better in battery life

Anyone letting go of their Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN for e-mount?

I honestly didn't "see" the wires when taking this picture.

First pic, RAW save as JPEG using Photoshop CS5.

Second pic, RAW save as JPEG using Image Data Converter.

Useless on current Sony cameras though....
Maybe the next gen of Sony cameras can take advantage of this XQD cards

For night shoots and studio I uses two flashes, with Phottix Strato II triggers.

This is all natural light though:
