Inconvenient access to some shooting settings. Slow to start. Slow burst rate. No EVF support. Some camera apps cost extra. Doesn't include external charger
Small and light, Works well in auto mode, Decent range of interchangeable lenses
No option for an EVF, Electronic zoom ring on lens is annoying, Learning the controls takes some time
Go for the Sony a5000 if you like the idea of an interchangeable lens camera, but also want a camera body that's small and light. It can be used in manual mode, but it does good work in auto mode, too, which is just as well since changing manual settings...
For an entry-level interchangeable-lens camera, the α5000 has a lot of advantages; it's small and light, takes nice-looking photos and movies and comes with a reasonably competent lens. On the downside, the lack of a viewfinder is a big disadvantage for a...

The Sony Alpha A5000 is packed with so many built-in features such as sweep panorama, zebra, peaking and picture effects that makes the Sony A5000 an ideal camera for both entry-leve and experienced users. You can transfer images/video shots from the A500...
While Sony still isn't the first name most people think of when it comes to digital cameras, it is making waves with its robust camera lineup. While it isn't common knowledge for most consumers, Sony is actually the dominant producer of digital camera s...
Large 20.1megapixel resolution from an equally big APSC sensor results in sharply detailed shots, tilting LCD screen, builtin flash, fairly priced kit with Power Zoom
Even with compact zoom lens this is still a squeeze for all but a roomy jacket pocket, no viewfinder or hotshoe via which to affix such an accessory
It might not look the flashiest on test, but the stripped back A5000 is one of the easiest and most accessible routes to achieving more professional-looking shots for anyone upgrading from a smartphone, and with the Power Zoom the price seems fair too. ...
