SONY a5000 So Nice...

I really didn't need a camera, but I saw a small camera while watching a movie on HBO. So as any consumer would do, I searched small digital cameras on eBay. What I found, there are many choices.>
I looked at the Sony a5000 mostly because it has interchangeable lenses, appeared to be small, had numerous features that I would use, and so I went ahead and purchased it. I am very happy with my SONY a5000. They have newer models of the same type of camera, i.e. a6000, and more. For the price and super quality in any photo situation, I couldn't be happier!Read full review...

Good value for a beginner

I am new to photography and I was hoping to improve the pictures I was taking with my phone. In auto, it's simple to use, and takes good pictures. I haven't gotten too fancy with it yet. I will use it this summer for vacations and taking good pictures of the kids. It's very lightweight, the viewfinder isn't the best, but that's ok. It does flip up so you can do selfies , if you so desire. I haven't tried video, but heard it is very good as well. Overall, as a beginner into the world of photography, this is a nice, affordable start. Read full review...

Excellent but...

Excellent camera, very small and with a flip screen, but if you are a resolution or pixel peeper, the Sony A3000 has slightly better image quality. To it's credit, the A5000 has slightly better color and contrast and is closer to the Nex-7 in this respect. Nevertheless, the Sony makes excellent mirror-less cameras.Read full review...

Big pictures from a Small camera

Very small camera with big camera capacity. Works well for all settings, recommend extra battery with purchase and silicone protective case. Small camera can be like an expensive cell phone, you have a case on that , right?Read full review...

An EOS for dummies!

I love this line. Such an easy camera & good quality images. It is like an EOS for dummies! I had the a3000 for a few years. It recently was lost & I replaced it with this.

Amazing value for the camera's capabilities!

This camera is everything I could ask for, takes amazing shots in lowlight and takes shots at amazingly high resolution. I love how lightweight and powerful this camera is. I also love how sony gives you an array of different shooting options. Superior auto mode is incredible but I would first reccommend buying one of the stock autofocus sony lenses to understand this mode's full potential. I would highely reccommend this camera for anyone getting into photography. I attatched a cool photo I have taken at high resolution.Read full review...

Not for Multi-Taskers

Bought this product to enhance photos for a small business. It's kind of heavy, but seems to run smoothly. I mostly bought it for the wi-fi capabilities, so the photos could be uploading to a program while photos were being taken - but that's not that case. You have to stop taking photos completely and just allow the camera to upload to wi-fi; I wasn't very happy about that. Also, to charge the battery, you plug the charger into the camera itself. The battery is removable, but if you wanted to charge a dead battery at the same time that you took photos with a fresh battery, that would be impossible. An external wall charger would be really helpful. Overall, I guess you could say that this camera is definitely not for people who want to multi-task, as it doesn't seem to be able to do that at all.Read full review...

I recommend, if you are looking for a hybrid

Im not a professional or even a hobby photographer. However, I like to travel and hike and have memories of these events after.. as pictures and videos. Phones and cheap soap-box cameras aren't enough for me. I consider a hybrid a good step between phones and serious devices. Its light, has several features and the 2 lenses that came along, are enough to start with. The E-mount isn't that rare, so if I need, I can get other lenses as well.
Only thing I miss is a view-finder. On a sunny day one must shoot almost blindly.
It serves its purpose and I recommend, if you are looking for a hybrid !Read full review...
