Re: Just picked up a Sony A6000

I'm upgrading from a point and shoot, this is my first and biggest upgrade

I purchased a new Canon T3i with 2 lenses for $500,

I also bought into the hype of the a6000, and also bought a few days after, with the telephoto lens for $1000.. I mean, it has to make me a better photographer by default than the old worthless T3i.......right

My opinion, the kit lens on the a6000 is no good. You want to use the full utility of the a6000 and work its powerhorse, buy better glass which is more expensive, and already at $1000, that was my budget.  So I will be returning it.

Also, it just makes sense learning photography from the basics, by using a DSLR. Will spend the balance of $500 buying better glass for the canon or getting a RX100 to replace my point and shoot.

Everyone will have different requirements and tastes, which is why we have variety.  There is no one fit solution for all
