I'm sorry if this is the wrong place. I've been doing lots of reading, but can't find anything specific to my type of photos.
I currently just use a point and shoot. It is the Panasonic DMC-ZS50. I also used to use the Canon PowerShot SX710HD but it broke.
The huge majority of my pictures are mountains. I hike all the time and take many pictures of distant mountains and scenic landscapes including sunsets. I also take a decent amount of lake and waterfall pictures. Lastly, I love taking pictures of wildlife when I see them. That is it. I never do portraits, sports, cities or anything like that.
I mostly just use the auto mode, but I know a bit about the other settings like aperture, shutter speed, iso etc... I am interested enough and willing to spend the time to learn these better.
I like my current pictures, but wouldn't mind getting better quality pictures. So I'm thinking about upgrading. I like the idea of mirrorless simply to keep size and weight down.
I spoke to someone at a camera store and he recommends I get the Sony A6000. I read online that it is not the best landscape camera.
I am very tech savvy and like cameras that give me the options to configure a lot. Too much automation or forced choices drive me crazy.
My questions are:
1. Will I really notice that my pictures are quite a bit better by upgrading to a change-able lens mirrorless?
2. Is that Sony A6000 a good choice?
Thanks.
