    I had this same camera and it lasted for about 3 or 4years. When I needed to replace it, I was glad to see I could get my ol' familiar camera back again.

    great for vlogging and videography pf children and self. I mostly bought this camera because of its soft skin feature which works 80% of the time.

    The Sony A5000 can do anything you want with camera, all kinds of adjustments and modes. Only thing is that in bright sunlight it is hard to see the screen.

    This is the perfect in between, mid price camera with all the bells and whistles for the "average" non- professional enthusiast. Wi-Fi is a big plus!

    I love this camera. Is a really good and cheap option. The only thing is that there's no hot shoe so you can't attach an external microphone or flash.

    Was really excited when i found an open box for this item. Batt was dead, so couldnt test the item in the store. On the open box label it said good condition & minor scratch, so I thought okay. wrong.... I charged the batt , turned it on says error. The removable lens was damaged and couldnt operate. Took it back asking for repair or replacement. was told bestbuy cant do anything about it and i have to return the item. what gives.... fuel, time, and money wasted. no compensation angry
