After weeks of thinking about getting this camera, finally I got it!
October 29, 2015, Thursday when I went to Funan DigitalLife mall to get myself a new toy(Sony a6000). I bought it at Alan Photo Trading where I also got my 2 other point and shoot cams. Although I own more than 3 cameras right now, I am not really familiar with all the specs of each and not good in doing a review. So what I'll do is just discuss here what I am happy about this new thing and some-little information.
BASIC SPECS:
Model Name: Sony Alpha ILCE 6000
Resolution: 24.30 megapixels
View Finder: LCD screen/ EVF
Type: Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera
Today, Sony Alpha 6000 is considered to have the "world's fastest auto focus" with an interchangeable lens feature. It has 3 inches LCD tilting screen and a built in Electronic View Finder(EVF). It also has an ISO of 100 to 25,600 and can shoot up to 11 frames per second.
I purchased this for $1,015 Singapore dollars (inclusive of GST).
These are the inclusions:
-Sony ILCE 6000 Camera Body
-Sony Case(Free)
-Sony SDHC 16GB Memory Card(Free)
-Sony 50MM F1.8 Telephoto(Prime Lens)
-Screen Protector ($10)
-49 Slim UV Filter ($35)
-Sony Battery (Free)
Another great feature of this is it has a built in WiFi. You can easily transfer the photos to your smartphone without using laptop as a medium. All you have to do is to download the Sony Play memories application from Android or App Store then connect your phone to the WiFi of your camera. So uploading photos to your Twitter, Facebook or Instagram makes it trouble-free.

INSIDE THE BOX:

-Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery
-AC-UB10 Adapter
-Shoulder Strap
-Micro usb cable
-Instruction Manual (with different languages)
-Lens Cap
-Eyepiece Cap
-Wifi connection guide
The main reason I bought this was because I loved the sharpness of the images I've seen in some other reviews online as well as the idea of it being lightweight to carry. I most of the time go out of the country and I used to bring my DSLR camera with 55mm lens. I found it really heavy and inconvenience, so I bought a point and shoot cam which is also a Sony product, the RX100ii. I was actually happy and contented with it, but at some point in time, for a person like me who's vain enough to take picture of myself though *insert laugh here*, I want to have a 'blogger feels' on my photos through bokeh or depth of field and that was the difficult thing to do on my compact cam. So after reading and checking around the internet, with an excellent reviews and 5 star ratings, I think I have found the best that suits my needs as a traveler/tourist.
So yah! Thank you for taking time in reading this post! I have to cut it here now coz I have nothing much to say about it yet. By the way, feel free to ask me and share your thoughts!
