Do some research on the A6500.

The touchscreen you mention is a complete fail. Not only is there considerable lag, but it is near useless. It is a different type than on your NX500 and smartphone and has difficulty recognizing most actions. It can't be used to take a picture, it can't be used to change settings, it can't be used to change focal points most of the time (and when you can, you have to start at the old one and slide you finger hoping the screen registers all the movement), and overall can't do 1/10th of the things other cameras with touchscreens can do.

Do you want to take 4K video? The A6500 dims the LCD to a near unusable level.

There are many more problems with the camera compared your NX500 that will disappoint you.

Slightly off topic, but what would you say is the best mode to have the touchscreen in? I'm wanting to use it more but I find that using it to focus is annoying as this seems to reset when I half press the shutter button (is there a workaround)?

Or are the other modes better - tracking, take a picture, etc..
