  • 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

  • Compact, does great. Still happy!
Color: Silver
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

  • 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
