I used to think the same way back in 2012 when I first handle a mirrorless (olympus epl5), it was a loan from a good friend. I still remember my first outing with it was at malacca jonker walk. Very compact and didnt attract much attraction, but in my heart, I was missing the bigger grip of dslr and feel mirrorless was more like a toy...However things changed once I've started to get my hands on the Nikon D7000. Perfectly fit into my hand, but.......so freaking big and heavy....so hard to fit into my bag. And when it did, it made my bag bulged so big. As for now, I ended up getting another mirrorless, Sony a6000. I can go compact with the 1650 kit or big with my 18105 zoom for more reach. If I want to have a better grip, I can always add on a battery grip. The flexibility is there. Just my 002 cents, hope this help.

P/s: I am not saying u will, but I have many friends who are owning dslr leaving them at home most of the time collecting dust on their shelf or in their drybox. When I ask them why, they will always give me the same answer. Too big to bring around, easier to take photos with their handphones.

Mirrorless is indeed convenient I think. But hmm...somehow reminds me of point and shoot. The quality is way above point and shoot right. Basically what u get on dslr u will get on mirrorless right.

A6000. This is still the best ML camera out there.

Both A6300 and A6500 is stupidly overpriced here... and not many new upgrades over the a6000 also. With their pricetag rather get a full frame or semi pro DSLR body.

Do you really need 4k? Even full HD recording now is sufficient. I've personally used the a6000 in low light conditions many times and perform very good already. I was amazed with the sensor's performance. Low light with high ISO also not much noise and no blur (refer unedited attachment)

Sony lens also not exactly cheap. You're stuck with what ever Sony gives you. Even 3rd party manufacturer's don't offer lot of E-mount lenses. Compared to the arsenal of lens available for Nikon and Canon. You're paying a premium for a crop body mirrorless camera.

Im slowly growing into the idea of portability now. D5600 seems nice to play with. But I do not know half a year , 1 year down the road will I still hold in and bring it everywhere. It just seems like a bit overkill to bring it everywhere right.
Seems A6000 is a good choice to start with since its cheap? Its not really new, will it be a bit out within few years time?
Some friends recommended me canon mirrorless. she is using M3, so naturally asked me to look at M5, M5 seems overpriced for me. M3 seems similarly priced to A6000
She said canon u can even use canon DSLR lenses on it. dunno how true

well d3400 n 5600 same sensor mostly same specs but one is 1.4k more expensive than another.
One free flash another lens.
Wonder where the extra 1.4k comes from
