Saw this new Sony Alpha 6000 on display (still sealed in box) at Town Hall Sound Center today for just $899.
Seems like the cheapest at this stage, JB had cheaper at $849 due to their 15% off sale which now has finished.
Note that this shop is closing down today! So you better grab it quick while its still there.

DigiDirect has been actively reduced their prices to be cheaper than anyone else, hopefully other retailers will follow suit to make the price more reasonable.
A Tribute for Town Hall Sound Center and Gordon the nice store rep. Been a customer since 2002, wishing the staff there all the best.
Slightly cheaper ($20) than SonyX prices which is good.
Sony allows you to add the following lenses for cheaper though:
SEL55210B - $199
SEL50F18B - $249
May work out cheaper getting it there, depending if you were to get extra lenses or not at the same time.
Anyone have experience with this camera? I'm using the NEX 5n. I'm contemplating upgrading to this or getting a lens instead.
I managed to negotiate JB down to about $830 just recently on this camera. Very nice camera IMO.
Not the cheapest, it was for $845 at JB and at Camerahouse for $849.

already mentioned JB on the description above, and $18 shipping from your site.
Even with $18 shipping it's still cheaper :)
I know, but first time I heard about the gibby store.
Anyone know the cheapest way to get the Sony alpha 5000??
$480 via grey imports, T-Dimension.
$580 via SonyX
Prob can get it for around $550-580 if you haggle at a store.
Both kit comes with 16-50mm OSS Power Zoom Lens (SELP1650)
Thanks heaps for the reply!
I'm trying to look at sonyX but can't seem to find it for 580. Do you have to be a member to get that price??
yes, you do and don't even think you can get one as it's limited to a few applications per year and I guess worth submitting one but you need to be patient.
ah damn, thanks for your help!
Did Gordon says where they moving to, or closing up good? Didn't go yesterday so I didn't say goodbye :(
I think they are closing down. Same with the one in Melbourne CBD.
he said closing down good, though he will open new shop somewhere else with something else.
This is a good price, most other places are in the $950-960 range. You can get the same price at DigiDirect though
