    Comparable to most everyday DSLR cameras. Moveable screen is also a nice touch.

    After looking at many expensive DSLRs, my wife and I chose this Sony camera, and we made the right choice. The camera is simple enough for a novice to take amazing pictures, but it is customizable enough for a pro to take it to the next level. Definitely worth the money!

    I puchased this product during the holiday seasaon. The price is lower than other sellers. So far no any issue. One time the camera was hit on the wall and it is still in good condition.

    It is great camera, but I wish it had a bigger screen. My older one had a greater screen and that was very helpful.

    I would rather have an ICL mirrorless camera with EVF, since bright sunlight makes the LCD difficult to see. For this reason the Sony a6000 is a much more useful product for me. But the a5000 is a great little camera for the price and excels at image quality in its price range. Its compact size and light weight make it much easier to carry and use than a DLSR of comparable price. The kit lens does fairly well too.

    We looked for a camera for our new born baby, we decided on this bad boy over the bulky canon cameras. We love this camera with all the features it has. Takes great pictures, and my wife loves the selfie option! If your looking for a great camera with a great piece to go with it? Go with this one

    My daughter wanted a camera to take action and close photos for her dance company. This camera seems to be working well. It is sturdy enough to place in her dance bag.

    I bought this camera before a trip to Arizona. I love the 180 degree screen so you can take perfect selfies. Even more, one day after buying the camera, I found a better price on line and within 10 minutes on the phone with Best Buy customer service I had a confirmation number for over $100 refund in order to price match. Excellent deal!
