    I bought this camera to start vlogging and the video quality is outstanding. Being able to flip the screen up makes it easy to vlog and take selfies. This camera takes great quality photos and it's compact so it's easy to take everywhere. Love the wifi capability for uploading pictures to my phone so I don't have to go on a computer.

    So I was looking for the perfect camera to start my YouTube channel. I was looking at all brands. I stumbled on this perfect camera. The tilt screen to see yourself is the best thing in the world. You don't understand how much time I've saved by being able I to see myself. You can buy different lenses to fit your preference. Overall, this product is amazing.

    GREAT CAMERA FOR TRAVELING

    I was a little worried at first that this camera would perform as well as my larger 35mm cameras, but I was tired of lugging around the large camera; the weight of the case after a day of traveling and sightseeing really was noticeable by the end of the day. Not to worry!! I also purchased the longer zoom lens and together they have the same quality as the larger, heavier cameras. I just wish I had access to this camera years ago! The features are the same and the pictures I have taken are just beautiful. A great buy!

    This Sony Alpha a5000 is my new favorite camera. I have been a tried and true Canon lover for three decades! I still love Canon, but this Sony packs a powerful punch. It is so lightweight that it feels like point and shoot. But it is just heavy enough to feel sturdy and powerful. I have not purchased any additional lenses yet, but am saving for one to get soon! I highly recommend this camera for anyone who wants sharp photos with vivid color management and high quality video footage!

    Definitely love my a5000 so far! The still frame shots are much better than I thought they'd be with the stock lense. Being able to manually select certain features like exposure time is also a huge plus. Only reason I gave it a 4/5 is the overheating issue with video. Can only do about 15-20 minutes of video recording before it has to cool down.

    I honestly have to say I love this camera especially for what I paid for it. I had a DSLR prior to it but I travel a lot so this fit my needs perfectly. I went to the auto show with it and all I needed was the body case to protect it and I had no problem. No bulky bags to carry or anything. I am no professional, but the kit lens has been quite satisfactory for me and I love the NFC and wifi capabilities that let me transfer photos to my phone or computer easily.

    This cute little Sony a5000 is the perfect size for carrying in your pocket or purse but this small camera delivers BIG camera features! As the owner of fast moving little fuzzy pups, the BURST feature is one of my favorites so now I get a few good shots in every sequence. And when I want to get up close, I just zoom in to catch the smallest details. Great Camera at a Great Price!

    This is my very first camera in about 5 years. I had no clue what to look for. This camera has all of the features that I need for taking pictures of my newborn and the quality is amazing. The built in wifi is one of the best features! I love being able to send the pictures straight to my phone in a flash.
