I’ve been thinking I would like to replace my camera body for some time now

It is old, and very limiting in some areas (like low light photography).  I’ve been looking at different options, and I think I’ve determined what I want to replace it with, a Sony A6000. The advantages the A6000 has over getting another Canon body for a similar price:
1. Better sensor.
2. Better low light performance
3. Wi-Fi connectivity. Both Canon and Nikon are falling down on this one.
4. In camera battery charging through USB.
5. Size. With a basic lens on the camera I can carry it in a cargo pocket.
6. On camera software functionality. The many functions that come built into the software that Canon does not have is beyond belief. It provides visual cues to what is in focus (useful for manual focusing) and what is under or over exposed.
7. The ability to expand functionality in the camera. You can actually download and low cost programs onto the camera that increase its functionality.
8. A free app for my phone that let’s me control the camera. I had to buy one for my Canon camera and either hook my phone directly to the camera or buy additional hardware (that I had to modify) to get my camera to connect to my phone.
9. Lens selection – Not only can I use Sony lenses with the A6000, I can also Canon lenses with an adapter. As a matter of fact, I would just get the adapter and use my Canon lenses on the Sony body.
