Better than the a6000
1

We bought this camera as an upgrade from the Sony Alpha a6000 mainly because of the flip out screen and the mic jack, which the a6000 doesn't have (it has a tilt screen, though). The AF works great and the EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers a lot for both still photography and for videography as well. On the price point, if that's your main constraint, I think this is a good option.

I think Sony can become a very expensive operation.

They have fantastic stuff, but i found that i would financially be better

off with a Canon with lenses,accessories and other makes that fit the system.

Is the "good for / bad for" part community rated or your personal opinion(i don't how this works)?

If your personal, can you elaborate on the landscape / scenery scoreĀ

The exposure I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math.

Re: Better than the a6000

Does it have better continuous autofocus than a6000?

I believe in dual pixel technology better than sony's but I tested my M100 and my 2013 NEX-5T for the past two days. Surprisingly, sony did better chasing my kid (faster burst rate and nailing the focus). I just bought the sigma 56/1.4 for sony and I'm wondering if a5100 (same internals as a6000) would be the best body for it.
