Help
I'm currently finishing my film course and I want to porsue photography as an hobbie.
I'm looking for the best value camera under 700$. Can be old models as long as they have great image.
I've heard good about the Sony a6000
Any recommendations ?

controls are the worst in class and sony stopped making glasses for it. go for panasonic/fuji/olympus/pentax k1 in that price range if you want somewhat compact mirrorless camera. canon/nikon/pentax if you want something larger.

The a6000 is pretty much the best beginner camera out there. You can get the Sigma 16,30 and 56 mm to cover all useful focal lengths you will encounter. It is very easy to mount older lenses on E-Mount as well.

Don't listen to this faggot, Sony is the only company that is releasing new cameras. Fuji is more expensive than FF cameras and Micro Four-Thirds are going to be dead in a year or so.

OP here
I was looking for something that could possibly cover a bit of everything. Good shutter for sports, good sensor for night stuff, possibly some landscape.
There's just too many cameras too choose from and a big important factor is lens prices and/or need for adapter.

Honestly, I'd say get something cheap but decent like a fujix10 and figure out what you like/dislike about the camera. Figure out what you enjoy shooting and what you wish you could do better. Get good at editing and composition, then invest in a system camera.

You should look into some fuji stuff. If you enjoyed having nice manual controls on film slr's then you'll really enjoy the ergonomics of Fuji mirrorless. The downside is pretty expensive lenses, but you could easily pick up an x-e2 or something for super cheap. Depending on the focal length, fuji offers very compact 18 and 27mm primes.

I honestly think OP needs to stay away from system cameras for a bit and buy an inexpensive but serviceable point and shoot with controls like a system camera. He needs to figure out what he likes.

For the low price, an A6K is ok. The UI is a bit of a pain but once you get the hang of it and some custom dials to suit your style, it should be good. No touch screen too. If you want a nice prime lens for it later, get one of those Sigma 1.4 dc dn.
