This is an awesome price for this camera. About $100 cheaper than the next lowest price I've seen for a new one. That being said, it's showing its age. It's very slow, compared to other modern cameras. Zooming into an image to check focus takes about a full second. It's a powerhouse of a sensor, but unless you need the massive megapixel count, consider holding out for an A7 III. In terms of day-to-day usability it will be a more pleasant experience.

A7 III most likely, if you're budget constrained, since you can get good quality third party lenses from Tamron, Sigma, etc. vs the cost of the Nikon platform.

Also depends on if you need resolution, fast AF, etc.

This one is a full frame camera and a6000 is a cropped sensor camera. Both use E mount Sony lenses. The lenses will fit and work, however using a lens specifically made for a6000 or a similar crop sensor camera will give you smaller photos or cropped photos

Can't really answer - or comment until you let people know what your needs and planned uses are. Beware of suggestions from people that don't have this info.

Would it be a good idea to replace my a6000 with this so I can use my existing lenses?
