I did a decent amount of research when it came time to buy a "real" camera. Up until now, I used either a decent smartphone camera (Lumia 1020/1520/950, LG G4) or a bridge/superzoom camera. When I did a little more background reading, I learned that most bridge cameras use a sensor no bigger than what's in a smartphone, and that the DSLRs use sensors 10-20 times bigger. Once I decided to go large-sensor route, I needed to decide on mirrorless or traditional. While I wouldn't mind a "true" viewfinder, as in traditional DSLRs, I really wanted compact so I'd be more likely to use the camera on the go. I have 3 young kids, so bulky is just not an option. Sony seems to lead the way on mirrorless designs, and this model in particular had some nice features. The WiFi and NFC is great to get pictures over to your smartphone for quick sharing, and really gives these dedicated cameras a new level of convenience when on the go. Charging from microUSB is great, as I have many chargers already available, including in the car. As for the actually light capturing, so far so good for me. I like the speed in which it can focus and take pictures, and I like how you can set the modes to go from idiot to advanced. I'm not as impressed with the lens itself, but it does a decent job, though I've yet to find a way to manually control the focus (I guess that's not something people really want?). I'm eager to get a 50mm prime lens and maybe a 55-200 telephoto lens for more versatility. Low light performance isn't too bad, though I don't normally shoot in such a setting. I target nature shots and pictures of the kids, and I've already captured several winners with just the stock kit, and my kids do not sit still. I'm very happy with the overall package, and I look forward to growing with the camera. Update: Still happy after a few months of pictures. I added my first lens to my kit, the E55-210. It adds some weight, but it really gets you close to things further away. I've had no problems with the camera itself, and I am quite happy with this camera. I found sharing to my iPad via WiFi to be quite handy for sharing and showing your content, and for getting it to my cloud storage. ... show more

    • I found the camera really easy to navigate around
Color: White
Personally, I found the camera really easy to navigate around, both externally and internally. There aren't too many buttons located around the camera like you would find on the more advanced cameras. Lots of tech features for various shooting modes but within rather limited shooting options and I think this is what the majority of buyers for this type of camera want, also I think the compact size is a strong selling point. This small and lightweight Sony digital camera meets all my criteria: 1. It is inexpensive. 2. It is very easy to use. 3. It takes great pictures I think this Sony is a perfect starter camera which gives a lot of bang for the buck. I highly recommend for others like me who are new to digital photography. ... show more

Color: Black
This camera is simply amazing. I have gone through quite a few cameras trying to find that perfect balance between a point and shoot and my heavy DSLR. I wanted a point and shoot esque camera that took higher quality photos without being nearly as heavy as my full size DSLR and this camera delivered just that. The flip up viewer allows you to orient your selfie perfectly and ensure that no one's head is getting cut out (just make sure to look away from the viewer before you click the button!). The weight is a bit more than a standard point and shoot, and you definitely can't just shove this bad boy in your pocket like may other cameras. But if quality is more-so what you are looking for, this is a perfect camera to get. I also love the full 1080p video, it syncs up perfectly with my DSLR video so I don't feel like I need to lug it around on casual outings when I don't want to risk missing some funny videos. 10/10 would re purchase. ... show more

    • Good for traveling
Color: Black
I bought the camera for traveling purposes, I am not a fan of having to take pictures with my phone and have limited storage available. After an extensive research on the camera I decided to purchase it and it was not bad, I like the size, the weigh and the quality of the images are good. I took it on a road trip and it was very convenient, I also used it at a MLS soccer game at night and the images where very good. Overall a good camera but only for simple uses if you are looking for a high utility and high uses I would suggest purchasing another one. ... show more

    • I LOVE this camera
Color: Black
I am so glad I bought this camera. I am an amateur for sure, and have not bought a camera in many years. This was serious upgrade from a cheap point and shoot camera I have used for years that takes not so great pictures when conditions are not absolutely perfect. I decided to buy this one to take on a trip. Not only did it take beautiful pictures of the scenery, it took great portraits and selfies (with the flip up screen). I have always hated the selfies I took with my iPhone but with this camera I love them. I actually had to stop myself form being self-obsessed and taking more because I am so happy with how the photos turned out! I did buy a Sigma 19 lens as well as a Sony E55-210 telephoto lens to go with this camera & I love the Sigma lens but the lens that came with it also took nice photos and selfies. However, the Sigma took it up a notch for me. I love that this camera allows for interchangeable lenses, just make sure they are E-mount lenses. I bought this used and it looks and performs like new. I think the friend I traveled with was jealous how great my pictures kept coming out because usually I am jealous of hers! My sister saw the pictures I took and immediately asked where I got this camera and now she wants one too. My family was pleased with the pictures I took of them. I think this has been my best purchase of 2016 and I am pleased that I bought a used, lower model camera (the a6000 would have cost me significantly more) in order to save money and still ended up with a great camera! I received it quickly using Prime and in wonderful condition. Another feature that I like about this camera is that it has wifi so you can send the photos to your phone or laptop or whatever via a Sony app. This allowed me to easily share the pics I'd taken. Also, I keep the camera on airplane mode until I am ready to share them over wifi. then I turn airplane mode off and back on again when I'm done. Someone said that keeps the battery from running down quickly. As for the battery life, with airplane mode on most of the time, I was able to takes pictures for hours all day long, and I never went under 50% charge by the time I got to the hotel to charge it again. I did not turn it off most of the day, just let it go to sleep and then would wake it up and start shooting again. I hope this review helps you. I do not know much about cameras as far as technical aspects so I won't even begin to speak to anything like that. All I know is I thoroughly enjoy this camera! I do think you will need to spring for a telephoto lens, if you have that need. I used mine a little but I also find I cannot live without the Sigma lens. One last thing, taking pictures while in motion on a tour bus came out great!!! I have never been able to do that before. There are many settings to use and it's easy to find them and shoot in the setting you want. ... show more

    • Good pictures, until it stops working 13 months later...
Color: Black
I purchased a Sony a5000 in May 2014 and loved the functionality and quality it put out even with my amateur photo skills. However, I noticed that the stock lens was "stiff" to rotate. I wish I would have contacted Sony sooner. This June (13 months after purchase), the lens started giving a "Lens Not Recognized" error message and quit working with the camera. My father in law has the same camera and I tried swapping lenses. It was definitely a problem with my lens as his lens worked on my camera body, but my lens would not recognize on his camera. I contacted Sony knowing that the 12 month warranty was expired, but hoped they could help me resolve the problem and/or point me in the right direction for repairs. To my surprise, they offered an "accommodation" to the warranty and offered to cover the repair costs. I received an email with instructions to send the lens to Precison Camera and promptly sent it off. Included in the instructions was the phrase "Sending the lens under accommodation warranty. :- Warranty: Yes" After almost 6 weeks, I tried to contact Precision Camera. After several weeks of no one answering on their service line, I decided to contact Sony. Since that point, it has been an absolute nightmare. I received a call back saying that they had contacted Precision Camera and they were waiting for payment on the repair. That took me by surprise since Sony had promised to cover the repairs. After explaining this, they requested proof of purchase of the camera (even though it was out of warranty and they were accommodating it anyways). I sent this, along with the original email stating they were covering it under a warranty accommodation. Since then, they've given me the runaround during a dozen phone conversations and finally today (a month after I contacted them to check on the status and 2.5 months since the initial contact!) they told me they wouldn't cover it because it was out of warranty. Explaining they had promised to cover the repairs and the fact that I would never have sent the lens to them in the first place fell on deaf ears. After 10 minutes of back and forth with the rep, I then asked them to send the lens back to me so I could pursue repairs on my own (for a much cheaper price than the quoted $126.50). I then received a call from Precision telling me I need to pay $12.50 shipping to get it back! I can't believe the runaround I've received from Sony regarding the repairs. While disappointed my lens stopped working after 13 months, I accepted I would probably need to pay for repairs. When they offered to cover the price, I was extremely happy with their customer service, but since then my respect for them has sunk to rock bottom. The fact that they tricked me into sending my camera to their "repair center" that in actuality is a 3rd party vendor with absolutely terrible online reviews is despicable. Then to retract their offer and require me to pay for shipping both ways is downright horrendous. In the future I plan to steer clear of Sony products (both cameras and otherwise) for their incredibly poor customer service. ... show more

    • Great camera and size!
Color: Black
I love this camera! It's my first upgrade from a point and shoot. I didn't want to go too fancy for my first "real" camera, so this was a good intermediary. The size is my favorite part, it's compact, but had the option of larger lenses, not just the one it comes with. It's light and I traveled around Europe with it and it takes amazing pictures! It was not a burden to carry around and overall I've been pleased with it. I even has small info things that you can read about each setting and what it is best used for etc. which as an 'amateur' who knows very little about camera settings, it's very helpful. ... show more

    • Bought refurbished...worth it!!!
Color: Black
This came in its original packaging. Arrived in a timely manner (same day shipping is bae). Looked brand spanking new. I could tell the original owner cared for this camera. I wanted something so could I create YouTube videos and I didn't want to buy an expensive DSLR like 90% of the entire YouTube community. After weeks of constant research, I was convinced that this camera was the one for me. Contains manual features so I can get that cinematic look, although, navigation made it a hassle to set up. 1080p24, 1/50 shutter speed, manual focus, manual exposure, adjustable white balance, etc. All of that and more was available to me at a cost of about $350. Love the rotating LCD. Good to watch myself look like an idiot while making sure I look somewhat presentable. Battery life is subpar so I could be investing in extra batteries in the future. This is a good step up from my Sony A3000, which has a similar camera sensor but with a DSLR like body at a lower cost (no rotating LCD unfortunately). I can even use the same stock lens from the 3000 on 5000 which is good because the focus adjustment was smoother and more satisfying on the 3000. Picture and video quality is great if you know what you are doing and if you have good lighting, which I will also be investing in soon. I'm having fun researching how to use this camera to its full potential. Glad I made this investment and I can't wait to start making good content. ... show more
