It's amazing how old this camera is that it's still selling for as much, if not more, than it could be bought for when first released.

I have this camera that I bought in late 2014. I think I paid $565 or something close to that then (which was a steal). I agree, the camera is aging a bit but still a good deal for the money.

Yep, but it's still a great camera. I've taken thousands of pictures with this camera and it still does a great job.

Shhhh, I just sold the one I bought three years ago for this exact same amount. I did throw in an OEM battery charger and extra OEM battery with it though.

I've been waiting on a deal for one of these, but not without warranty. Pass for now.

I hear ya, but it does say 1 year warranty in the full description. I never had a prob with 6ave, i shopped at their B&M store very frequently. I still have $800 deftech towers and a $2K sammy plasma all over 8 yrs old going strong as day 1. And i returned / upgraded purchased items for no reason with no hassle.

Why? I literally have boxes full of cameras, as in 10's of them, I have never had one that needed warranty service. In fact, consider all my electronics, I think my items needing warranty repairs are less than 0.5%. Having a warranty is overrated.

Agreed. Yes there are newer cameras with more bells and whistles, 4K video and high fps shooting, but when it comes to taking good pictures, I'm hard pressed to name a better camera in it's market segment. Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. Unlike M43 cameras that can drop to half or a third of MSRP in a year, Sony's hold their value.

I'm just a casual shooter but I feel like my t3i took better pictures.
But still love the a6000 cause of the size (obviously) and the fact that aperture and shutter speed have their own dials. Plus the viewfinder is a nice addition to a mirrorless
I think I got it from best buy open box for like $450 a year or two ago

Use to own this camera. It is pretty nice. It will overheat recording 1080p 60p which was kind of a bummer. Also has no mic port for those who want to use an external mic.

I still have a Sony a5000 that I'd barely notice a difference at this price point. If it drops sub-$400, I will be there.

There's a fix for that.
