I'm intrigued wit the A6000 and actually the whole NEX series camreas. The bigger sensor and now much bigger resolution in the very small (as small as m4/3 package) seems pretty ideal.

Remember, 24Mp isn't "much better resolution"; it's 22% more pixels horizontally and vertically. That's certainly better, but I'd quibble with "much better". As far as the larger sensor goes, the reality is that perceptible difference in IQ between the two sensors is very, very small. This is a fact that has been reported ad nauseum by people who own both APS-C and m43 cameras, including me. If you go over to the Sony/NEX forum you'll read post after post boasting of Sony's enormous sensor (often ridiculing m43 for its "tiny" one), but when you actually look at images the difference is imperceptible. I know because I have.
