I'm new to cameras , but I did a lot of research on the sony a6X00s models, It was really hard to choose but I'm glad I decided to get the a6500. It takes really good pictures and videos, and honestly the menu wasent that complicated to use like others say it's more of understanding the camera features and what they do to help take the perfect shot. I would recommend YouTube tutorials as it helped me. Will use for Travel , Street Photography and Family events. The 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lense is pretty good for a beginner but I would recommend an upgrade on a lense when you can in the future. Or buy the Body only and save for a different lense *Only issue was the duration of the battery , like others point out the battery dosent last long

I had toyed with upgrading the old DSLR to a mirrorless and settles on the Sony a6500. It takes great photos out of the box, but really shines when you put some of the after market lens on it. I have gotten into underwater photography also and it is a champ! Light weight, good on battery management, customizable for getting the perfect shot, and the on board stabilization for video is almost like having a gimble built in. The menu is not what I would call 'user friendly", but gives you a lot of room to modify the settings and you get used to it after an hour or so of use. I am growing into this camera and unless your looking to do pro work, this will last you're years of enjoyment to come.
