if this vlog is usually you sitting in front of the camera, camera on tripod, then A5100 fits the bill. start with the 16-50 kit lens and move on from there.

however, there is no mic jack and hotshoe. so its better if you record audio separately. a cheap way is to record audio using a earphone with mic as a lavalier, connected to your phone. extra work to sync the audio in editing though.

for A6000, you gain the hotshoe, but you need to use Sony's MMI mics which can be expensive. you'll also lose the tilt screen.

if this vlog is more to walking around, travelling, then stabilization becomes important. you can also consider DJI Osmo.

EDIT: just to elaborate more, DJI osmo is definitely not a camera to turn into a system, but personally i think a well-stabilized video (even on smaller sensor) looks better than a non-stabilized video from the superior APS-C sensor.
