It would be interesting to take one out on a moving subject and see how many keepers you get.

I have even used the SL1(using high end lenses) for my sons hockey team pics and it performed well. The kit lens is fine for travel and you could always add a prime lens for low light. No wifi and gps but you can get sd cards with wi-fi so that's not an issue.
The a6000 is a lot smaller and better in pretty much every way. I have a Metabones adapter so I can use my Canon glass, but I bought the a6000 because it's compact so that kinda defeats the purpose.
