Well, does your family tend to ride motocross over 30 ft jumps? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Certainly you have an awesome mirrorless camera. The future probably belongs to them. But what about now and what you enjoy the most about photography? Maybe I'm being old fashioned, but I prefer the feel of a DSLR to a small pocket camera....it is just more stable and easier to hold. And the point about the blackout time being shorter in the video also might make a difference in the shooting experience. I have a D7000 as well for my wife. She likes to use it for more serious event photography and she keeps her Samsung Galaxy camera for parties, etc.. I'm probably going to upgrade her camera at some point to a D7100. But one thing drives me the most toward a DSLR and that is image quality. Probably your D7000 can't keep up with the Sony A6000 on that front, but that doesn't mean the D7000 isn't capable. To me, getting instant feedback through an optical viewfinder is critical to the photographic process. But I guess I am spoiled because I can enjoy the full-frame speed of a D4 and the incredible resolution and dynamic range of a D800. If we take a step back to look at the larger picture, I think photography is a culture and the pocket mirrorless culture is different from the DSLR culture, just as there is an iphone camera culture and a DSLR video culture, as well as a 35mm film camera culture. All of these are part of the rich photographic art and there are so many tools from which we may draw our palette. I would go with whatever enhances your creative experience the most, whatever frees you the most from concentrating or worrying about the equipment, to enjoying the relationship with your subject and capturing the moments you want the most and that best reflect your personal style. We each have our own favorite tools, and it is like a favorite paint brush. It might be older, but the way it feels in the hand permits us to best express ourselves. If that camera feels right to you, then go with it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
