Good light-weight walk-around and travel camera

I shoot mostly in raw, but found the jpg images from this camera were usually better, cleaner images. The new ligthroom 5.4 improved the raw results, but jpgs still tended to look better, DxO also released a A6000 update about the same time which helped the raw image results. So be sure to use the latest software for editing.
Overall I found this a very comfortable camera to carry and shoot. However, I did not care for the menu driven functionality. I am use to more direct button control on my Canon cameras, but I expect you could remap some of the controls to get more direct control of critical functions. I was using a Tamron 18-200 lens most of the time, which seemed slow to focus, but was usually accurate even in low-light. It proved a good universal lens for most subjects. It did not seem to track fast moving objects like birds well, but did follow people and vehicles. In summary, I liked most of the the camera qualities, but not the excessive menu orientation. It would be great for hikers and climbers with a prime or wide-angle zoom attached. I didn't care much for the Sony 55-200 results on my A6000 body. The 16-50 gave very good results for a kit lens. An increased range of lens from Sony would also, help although you can get a converter to use other lens brands.
What's great about it: Light-weight, easy to carry
What's not so great: Price, menu control of camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

It came with the 28-135 Cannon zoom. which works adequately, but I had several older third party lenses that I had used successfully on my old Canon EOS film camera. They did not prove adequate for the 7D. I purchased a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 which works quite well, but the Tamron 18-270 and Canon 70-300 leave something to be desired in the image sharpness above about 150 mm. The Canon 70-200 f4 IS I borrowed produced fabulous images at every setting.
Pros: -Superb image quality, Superb ISO performance, fast 19 point AF system,, Excellent movie modes, Multitude of features, Feels goo in my hand
Cons: -Autofocus complex options, No autofocusing while recording a movie
What's great about it: Fantastic images even in low light
What's not so great: shows flaws in lesser quality lenses, recommend near "L" quality if possible
I would recommend this to a friend!
