From DxOMark conclusion :
Based on sensor performance alone, at $649 (body only) the A6000 appears to be excellent value for money. And while we’ve yet to assess image quality with native mount lenses, the Sony A6000 certainly looks like a promising addition to the range.

I would go for the Nikon D5300.
The A6000 camera is awesome but I would personally go for the Nikon D5300 and here’s why:
– Way more lenses to choose from with Nikon than with Sony
– 40% better battery life
– A proper external mic jack (so important to use microphones in your video for better quality)
