This is Sony's entry level camera which seems to have more presence in Latin America than the US. It takes very good pictures but isn't the uber camera that the A6000 is, but at half the price, that's not to be expected. It is, however, the camera you can buy anywhere, including every Radio Shack in Nicaragua.
The layout for manual focusing is easier than the layout on the A6000 (didn't have to set a button to get focus assist) and the high ISO is at least comparable to the A6000 at the top of its range. It doesn't have WiFi, automatic switching between viewfinder and LCD screen, or the highest resolution in either, but it works. The 18-55mm kit lens with it (in my copy at least) had also been updated to work with the A6000's advanced focusing system.
If you want a second e-mount Sony, buy the A6000 body only, and use the lens that came with this one with that, and use legacy manual lenses and heavier lenses with this one. It's like a stripped down A6000 (probably like a stripped down Nex) with 4 less megapixtels and not as high an ISO, and a somewhat clunky interface, hiding in a fake DSLR body (light for its volume).
