This was my first 'real' camera and I believe I made a good choice when purchasing it. It's easy to use, it has great battery life, and it's not too heavy. The only downfall is that it's not touch screen.

Loves the ease of use and the quality of the pictures. The color is amazing and the portability is a plus. I was debating between a cannon and a Nikon, but I got pleasantly surprised by Sony.

The Sony A5000 is an easy to use mirrorless camera that takes excellent photos. If only it had a touch screen and a place to add a flash and/or a electronic viewfinder and it would be a 5 star rating

Great camera!! Awesome pictures, clear images and easy to use. The blue tooth feature is easy to set up to your phone and fun to use. My daughter really loved the flip screen for easy to shoot selfies.

What a great camera. I know nothing about cameras and this one is easy to use, plus it takes amazing pictures. I also like the wide angle lens for taking real estate pictures.

Let me start by saying I am not a professional, or even amateur, photographer; however, you may not know that by looking at the pictures I took with this camera. It is easy to use and captures great images, even in poor lighting. For the size and price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option.

I actually purchased two of these for our manufacturing facility. We were having issues with trailer contamination and needed to have visual documentation of cleaning inspections. I paired this with a 64GB SDXC card. I'm most amazed by the built in flash on this camera. I am able to light a 53 foot longer trailer with no delay and crisp image quality. The functionality is extremely simple which is good for some of our not so tech savvy employees. There are a ton of features I would use if this were a personal camera. I might actually go away from DSLR on my next camera and go to one of these. It's is an amazing camera at a more than reasonable price.

Wanted to get a bigger camera but without the weight and bulkiness of most larger ones. This is a great upgrade from the basic point and shoot cameras. It is as light, if not lighter, than my 4 year old point and shoot camera. I just wish this camera came with a lens that supplies more zoom, but as stated, there are other quick change lenses available for this camera. Quicker shooting was also noticeable. Mirror less seems to be the new wave of cameras.

Camera is light weight and easy to handle. Did purchase some additional filters and a wrist strap (to prevent accidentally dropping it). Easy to take with you traveling.

Camera is great, good for those who like manual or automated photo taking. Takes pictures as good as SLR and is very portable.
