    FYI the A6100 is a much later upgrade and will cost ALOT more. The 6100 came out in 2019 - 7 years after the a6000. The A6xxx series has a really deceptive naming convention, it goes 6000 - 6300 - 6500 - 6400 - 6100 - 6600 - 6700. The A6400, 6100 and 6600 were all released in the same year and are distinguished more by their "tier" (A6100 is entry level, a6400 is mid tier and a6600 is high end) rather than by series as none of them are intended to replace the other. The 6300 and 6500 were also released in the same year (2016) and were tiered in the same way to both replace and complement the a6000. The a6300 was a mid range camera that directly replaced the the a6000. The a6000 continued to be produced but was marketed as an entry level camera. The A6500 was the high end option that came with bells and whistles like IBIS.

    I bought my a6000 back on 2015, just used the kit lens, but recently i bought the sigma 56mm, it just changed everything, if you only use a6000 to take images, there's no reason to waste money to get a little bit improve of photography.

    Tina this is an older camera. Cameras depreciate over time as newer cameras are released by manufacturers. The newer cameras are either vastly or incrementally improved. New features are added or existing features improved. The important thing to remember is if a camera produces good images when it was released it will continue to produce good images. This body doesn’t produce 4K video. 1080 is OK. Not shooting a lot of video? This should not be a problem. No IBIS (in body stabilization)? Not doing video or low light photos? You don’t need IBIS. As Matty suggests, you can buy lenses with stabilization. As newer bodies have more and improved features the cost of the body increases. So if you are looking for a cheaper camera you have to ask two questions. What features do I require? How much can I afford to spend? The answers to these questions will lead you to the cameras to consider. Good hunting for your next camera. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

    I dont think 6100 was "soon after". The next released models were 6300 and 6500 which were released 2 years after 6000. After another 3 years you got 6400 and 6100. Thanks Sony for making it simple 🤣
