I bought a Sony a5100 camera a while ago. It uses the same sensor as the a6000 but can't shoot quite as fast (which I never do any way).
It is cheap ($350 for the body when I bought), it is light (seemingly all plastic) and it takes fantastic pictures with minimal effort (I can't take any credit for skill).
Reading this thread makes me want to get the 16mm prime lens (I think that is the size).
For something easy to carry when you don't want to haul out serious heavy gear, it works but probably not quite as good as the serious gear.
