That does sound really good, and the a6500 seems like a quality upgrade. My a350 only had the kit lens and I'm currently trying to sell it. I'm totally new to taking photos that aren't via mobile, and I know the a350 is fine for learning, but I'd much prefer something a lot more modern.

Yes, but I didn't say I'd get one for 320. I said I seen an a6000 going for that, but I am willing to spend 800ish for a camera or camera with lens.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess I need to take more time in knowing the ins and outs of the Sony I have, practice more for the month until I buy my new one. I also think because my a350 is an older camera it just seems very dated and cumbersome to navigate through. But that is...

I joined MPB and they have some great prices on cameras and lenses. Plus I can trade my old Sony in, even if I don't get very much for it, and it's a little too bulky for my daughter to start on. Better than eBay for the most part. I think this is where I will purchase my camera, unless a great...

To make menu guidance easier, and the touch to focus instead of the joystick. Plus, the way technology is going, like phones, I think all cameras will soon have this function. They will still have physical buttons and dials, but I just see it's the way things are going. A touch screen isn't a...

I don't like the layout of Sony menu systems, and as a complete novice, I'd like my first decent camera to be a little less convoluted. Also, I said I had about £800 for a camera. I never said I'd get a Fuji that cheap.

I'm still considering the xt20, but I've been looking at the xt2 also, and I keep scouring eBay. Thanks again for all of this information and help. I did see a a6000 for 320 with lens, but I just don't like the Sony menu system and lack of touch screen.

What body would you recommend and then ecosystem of lenses that I can use when I eventually upgrade the body, or which company is best for lenses?

Can you recommend any websites that do good reviews.

My closest is Glasgow I believe. The two year warranty is something I wouldn't get used, so that's another consideration. I wasn't going to buy from PC world, but I did get the feel of how a couple of mirrorless feel in the hand. I see DSLR are smaller now than my a350, but I just think...

Ha. Yes, I know how this feels, and I won't be buying the camera for another month or two as I have a few big things I need to pay for first. But even if I got the more expensive camera, I'd happily buy a decent lens the following month (monthly wages). So I still have time to mull over...

I'm actually considering the G9, or maybe it's the G8. I wouldn't like anything too small, and that kind of takes the 4/3 cameras out of my list.

The same for me, well, unless I go to Edinburgh or Glasgow, which isn't that far by train. But I'm definitely going the used route, unless I do take a trip and find a good sale going on.

Solid advice. Although, so far I am thinking the Fujifilm, but the Lumix series sound pretty decent too. Thanks for the information :)

Sure. I can see why the tilt could be better. I don't care for using it for vlogs or selfies and things like that. I just want a good camera with a decent screen and a viewfinder
