  • Best Sony other then A7s for video, Amazing stills too
Color: Black Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
I own 4 of these, the video is amazing, very little morie, great in low light. The still quality is great too. I basically look at cameras like it's a chip with a lens. I would rather own a bunch of affordable bodies, keep the lenses I like on them, and never change the lens in the field. This strategy greatly reduces the chance of dirt on my sensor. I personally don't like to look at an image with the sky with dirt all over the image, and the further you stop a lens down the greater the dirt on the sensor will show. I also use a Sony DSC-HX60 for timelapse shots, they are cheap, look great and travel small. All the Sony cameras I have tried, to use apps, especially timelapse required a firmware upgrade, and a Play Store account with funds to load the apps. I wish they had it upgraded as of May 2015, the version I received is 1.0 ,and the apps need 1.1. So to me, rather then putting all my eggs into a A7s, I would rather own five of these. To have a pristine sensor is paramount, especially when shooting video and panning. It took forever but Sony finally did deliver a nearly perfect sensor for video with this camera. I do go through cameras fairly regularly, so will I own this in 2 to 3 years, probably not, but I have to say for today this is the best price performance camera bar none. I also had a a6000, not worth the extra dollars to me, inferior video quality, poor layout of battery SD card placement. I also dont really care about the viewfinder it has, you have to be straight on to use it any way. Just get a nice loupe, and enjoy the excellent screen on the a5100. Also sometimes my subjects like to see what they look like on camera, try that on the a6000 while shooting. ... show more

  • Fast Delivery & Perfect Camera!
Color: White Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
I’m so happy with my camera!! It arrived fast and is exactly as described. I was worried because most sellers don’t ship to my location, but these guys did. The camera was packaged safely, and everything worked perfectly. I would definitely order from this company again and recommend them to others. Thank you so much!! ... show more

  • Great for Twitch/Youtube Streaming and Youtube Videos!!
Color: Black Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
If you're a streamer on Twitch or Youtube or want to make Youtube videos, this is a great mirrorless camera at it's price point. It does 1080p 60fps extremely well. Lots of in camera functions and features to get the shot correctly. A very familiar and easy to use GUI even for me as I used to be a Canon exclusive guy. Has nearly all the same benefits of a dSLR (Interchangeable lenses, etc) With a dummy battery, this thing works great as webcam/stream cam and has a 100% clean HDMI output, so you don't have to worry about onscreen info ruining the shot. You just need to go into settings and set the HDMI output correctly. Doesn't over heat. I have not tested it outside in direct sunlight, nor have I tested in doors in direct sunlight. I HAVE used it for 12+ hours straight in my home office and haven't had an issue. Typical HVAC settings and in a room with only blinds on the windows (no blackout curtains) and it doesn't overheat. I use an external microphone (AT2035) so I can't comment on the on-board mic. But, picture quality is great. ... show more

  • This camera is great. I love photography and I didn't totally know ...
Color: White Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
This camera is great. I love photography and I didn't totally know what to expect from a non DSLR but it takes great photos and is so versatile!!! I have a Nikon d5300 and I find myself grabbing this little guy a lot of the time instead. The sensor is better and if you're not wanting a ton of control or in a sitatuion where you don't want to be constantly adjusting in a manual mode, this camera is perfect. It has a great auto mode and it automatically edits pictures to make them look better - I've yet to seen it edit in such a way that I don't like either, it just makes every picture look more real. Great camera for selfies because of the screen that flips up and you can produce great images and zoom fairly far, all in a compact bundle. The camera is front heavy from the lens but I'm still able to fit it in my small purse so it's great for Traveling, not to mention that you can transfer the photos straight from the camera to any device you have which only compounds in the 'good for traveling and selfies' status this camera has. Definitely not as small as other point and shoots that don't have a detachable lens but the trade off is well worth it and it's still way smaller than a DSLR. Great purchase, highly recommend!! ... show more
