  • Very high-quality stills, Lightweight, good price, Selfie-shifting LCD screen
  • Slow burst speeds, Relatively low-quality LCD, no touch, 1080/60i video, not 60p
  • With its 20.1MP APS-C sensor and $499 kit price, the Sony Alpha A5000 is a no-brainer recommendation. This would be an excellent move for those of leaving the land of compacts for an interchangeable lens camera. That said the A5000 does have its limitat...

  • Compact design, 180° tilt screen, WiFi and NFC, Easy to use, Great picture quality up to 3200 ISO, PASM settings in video mode, Uses the same graphic interface as Sony's RX cameras
  • 1650 mm OSS is disappointing and quality varies from one model to the next, Slow startup (with the 1650 mm OSS lens), No touchscreen, screen resolution could be higher

  • Great value for money, Improved Bionz-X processor, Wi-Fi/ NFC, Good metering and white balance
  • Poor continuous AF, Disappointing LCD
  • The Sony A5000 is a very good everyday compact system camera that offers a lot for its entry-level price. It's just a shame Sony has chosen to stick with a slightly underwhelming screen....

  • Abstract:  With Sony's NEX brand surrendering to the Alpha title, the A5000 is among the first compact system cameras we've seen to carry the new badge. But what's in a name? We got to play with the A5000 at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 to find out. At first...
