A6000 vs NX500 against the GX7? But I guess I don't really need a new camera...

A6000 is all plastic and feels very cheap and the 16-50 kit lens is pretty bad. Lens selection for their APS-C line is lacking and completely stagnant as its been a couple years since they released anything new.

If you are going to go Sony just pick up an A7 with the kit lens they are going for good prices. The A7 kit lens and FE lens selection in general is much better. They also seem to be putting their full effort into releasing new lenses and bodies for the full frame line.

You should recommend a better lens if you suggest Sony A7. The A7 kit doesn't really sharpen up at the side when stop down. I have both the A7 and NX500 and did a comparison of the kit at f8. I was surprise the tiny Samsung kit lens can reasonably resolve the 28mm sensor.

I put up some samples.
