BTW - I just purchased an A6000 this week (on it's way via FedEx). That's the camera you bought, right? I sold my '66 Nova Wagon, so I've got a little bit of toy fund money to play with
No, last year I bought the A5000 but I've used it all of one time. It's too bulky for what I'm looking for. Compared to a DSLR it's small, but I'm looking for a unicorn. I want a camera that takes crystal clear pictures but must fit into my front chest pocket or easily hang from my gear sling. It must also be "rugged" and water/freeze resistant, etc.
The A5000 is actually a good camera and would be great if I was only hiking, but gets annoying during the climbs. I'm not looking for all the extra doodads such as built in GPS, wifi-whatever...just something I can easily use with one hand with minimal hassle. Since you're the camera guy/pro, if you have any suggestions on point-and-shoot cameras, I'm all ears.
