Shame it's not the a6000 for this price, can't live without a viewfinder

The A5100 has better focussing.
Might an old second hand DSLR be a possibility if finances are tight?

you should have grabbed one from Amazon on offer at £274, but even at this price doesn't worth considering buying the a5000...

very bad screen is deal breaker, go for this one.

To be fair the A6000 is crazy value, easily the best crop sensor mirrorless camera in terms of price-performance ratio in my opinion.
Have you looked at the X-Pro1 or X-E2 body with a used 16-50mm kit lens? You can get the lens for as little as £84 from mpbphotographic (and probably even less from eBay), paired with the bodies that sell for £400 you're easily in the same ballpark as an A6000 kit, with each of these cameras having its own set of strengths and weaknesses.

I was lucky enough to get this for £274 from Amazon at the start of Feb. Great camera and still a great price at £299.

Are people going for these due to compact size? I'm assuming the better pictures are going to come from a dslr with the larger sensor? Just curious as a Sony DSLR owner what the main draw is here?

This camera uses the same APS-C sized sensor found in the majority of sub-£1000 DSLRs but yeah, it's the combination of the smaller size and high quality internals that make mirrorless cameras appealing. You might be thinking of micro four thirds (M43) systems that use smaller sensors.
