Your opinion on the A6x00 bodies?

I tried the A3000 in a store, and it had an awful EVF--worse than my ancient PowerShot. Some sort of LCD. I don't remember if it was field sequential like the A57. It feels much cheaper than the A58.

Yes, sub-£100. Thanks for the link - it's a really interesting review and more than confirms the suspicions I had about it - an unusual combination of good and poor features. We'll have to see how it is in use.

Hmm, thinking about it, it could be the ideal old guy's camera:
- simple operation and few buttons, to avoid taxing fading memory cells;
- big grip easy for arthritic fingers to hold;
- light body for those weakening arm muscles;
- low res EVF and LCD to suit failing eyesight;
- accurate AF (see above);
- very good sensor (for its time) to allow PP on a big bright screen at home.
- and of course plenty of cheap OSS lenses for the growing hand tremor.
