A:AnswerI am not positive but I don't think Sony is manufacturing anymore. Does not have any thing to do with purchasing. It is an excellent camera and if Sony is discontinuing it, there does not mean there is anything wrong with it. Just that they keep coming out with new cameras with more advanced features. Will not go wrong purchasing this camera.
A:AnswerHi Snowwhite21! The Sony a5100 has higher resolution (MP) & ISO range, it also has a faster continuous shooting speed of 6fps vs the a5000. -Anthony
A:AnswerIf it does, get a Nikon instead. Make sure it’s got a telescopic lens with it or you’re gonna pay 3.5 times what it would have cost with the kit.
