      Hi Meln, we're saddened to hear that the camera failed to meet your expectations. To avoid blurry pictures, we recommend pressing the shutter button halfway before taking the shot to lock the focus in. Thanks_Mitch Sonystyle

    When I first got this camera it took a little bit to learn it but once I did I found it very easy to operate. I'm very pleased with the camera overall.

    I purchased this camera for my 15yr old son. He absolutely loves it. He makes videos so he wanted to see himself while filming and taking pics and the screen allows you to do this. Clarity is awesome. Very affordable. It's compact and light. My son loves that too.

    I have enjoyed using my camera for family photos during Christmas. I am also trying it out in different settings with all the features that are on the camera. It should be a great camera to get me started in learning about the different aspects of photography.

    First camera for photography business. Did not want a manual nor a digital...this camera met half way for me. Easy to use. Easy to function. Easy to edit pictures through software that comes with it. Easy to transfer pics through wifi. An A+ camera in my book.

    My daughter wanted this camera for Christmas because it had a way to view herself while she is vlogging. She has a youtube account so she wanted this primarily for videos. Quality is awesome! It is not heavy and not too big. She absolutely loves it!!

    I know absolutely nothing about Cameras but this Sony is super easy to use. I mostly use it for social media purposes but I'm pretty sure that anybody could figure this out! The wifi feature is amazing -- send myself photos right away to my phone.

    This is one of the least expensive interchangeable lens cameras you can buy. The size and weight of the camera makes it very useful for small trip. Image quality is excellent. Tilt screen is another great feature for A5000. I love this camera.

    Step up from a simple point and shoot. Comparably fast shutter speed with much less detectable delay.

    I am making the leap from just cell phone to actual camera. this camera is nice to use. has some easy auto shooting but i think it will allow me to learn and make some manual settings. the wifi interface on the other hand is not easy to figure out at all.
