The Sony a6000 has been around a long time, yet it competes well with the Fujifilm X-T100 and Canon EOS M50. Chris hopes they will release a mark II a6000 at some point like they did with the Sony RX100MVA, but a few of the shortcomings like JPEG could be solved via a firmware update.

While the Sony a6000 falls behind in many areas it is at a very different price point than the X-T100 and M50 without or even with rebates. At almost $100 cheaper that might be something that matters to someone trying to get into more serious photography. I think the a6000 is still a very viable option for those kinds of customers, but the X-T100 and Canon M50 have a big technological advantage consider the a6000 was released in 2014 so the technology inside is 4 years old already.
