Amazing Starter Camera

Replaced my old Nikon Point and Shoot camera with this and really enjoy the configurability and capability of these Sony Cameras. The Sony apps also help make an amateur photographer look like a pro.

Great camera for a beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all, the employees go above and beyond each time I walk into bestbuy so it wasn't a surprise for me to have this particular employee help me with all of the cameras and helped me choose this one. This is an excellent mirrorless camera! The lens it comes with is also amazing and it blurs the background.

Great camera for beginners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this camera. We purchased this before going to Hawaii. We wanted a camera that would give great results, better than a iPhone and Galaxy. We got some awesome shots. This camera offers a lot of options for still shots & action pictures. It even offers helpful tips in the menu.

Great for bloggers and regular photograpy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this one as it is - no box. Last one in stock, as far what sales man said - sony does not manufacture those anymore. But overall we are very satisfied - great for selfies and vlogging. Performs alwesome in natural light, probably if want to be used in artificial light or dark - get an extra lens.

Great camera for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do professional photography and videos and needed something small to carry with me to conventions. This is just the trick! I got it for less then $300 so i can not complain. The kit lens kind of sucks but it is what it is. Cant beat the price.
