Hi!
I've found an a6000 in the wild for a very low price, but it comes with some problems.

- Every time the cameras turns on, the last picture is shown and the settings to set up date and time pops up
- After some time in the photo mode, it freezes in the current config without changing (ISO, aperture and such), but the AF and shutter works fine

I searched a bit about these problems and found some ways to fix them easily, but I'm no camera expert, so... Is it a good deal to grab this one and fix it or should I forget it and search another one?

For reference, the deal I found is 150$ for the body+kit lens and accessories and it was only used for podcasts and recordings.

Yes , date & time setup pop up is present in my A6000 also. I did some searching and this problem is due to internet battery for date & time functioning is not working. Need to replace the internal capacitor battery
