Thanks to all the polite members here, I've really benefited from the A6000 information and images shared on this forum. You have helped me decide if this camera was right for me, so thank you for that. For reference, I have been shooting for a little over ten years, mostly for family and fun, but also a dozen or so weddings. I also have a Canon 7D, 50D, a bunch of lenses, lighting, etc.... So, it was appealing to know that I could also put that gear to work with this camera too.
Like many people, I looked at the A6000 (and mirrorless in general) mainly as a lightweight, more casual use camera for those days when lugging the sack of lenses and big dslr body drained the fun factor a bit. What finally sold me, beyond the endless reviews, forum threads, sample galleries and Youtube videos, was putting my hands on one in a local store. In many ways, it makes my other cameras look and feel like dinosaurs. I also bought a Fotodiox auto focus adapter for my Canon and Sigma lenses and a hot shoe adapter for my 580 flashes. It's been a refreshing change of pace to shoot with such a lightweight camera. The small size makes manually focusing lenses much easier as well, even on heavy lenses (100-400, 70-200, 17-55, etc...). I've enjoyed shooting with it so much that I took it on our recent cruise and left the heavy bag at home! :P
So, I wanted to share a few of my own photos, in the hopes that I might also help someone else decide if Sony could lure them over as well. I figure there's no better place to start than with the 16-50 kit lens. It has a lot of strengths and shouldn't be ignored for it's small size, excellent focus speed and great quality in many situations. IMO, this lens comes to life more in RAW than wen shooting jpeg, but that's true of the camera with any lens. Okay, enough babble... here are a few shots.

Now one indoor shot in low light, at ISO 10,000 (try getting this out of a Canon 7D at that ISO with any lens)
