Reviews around light (4.49 of 5)

  • The pop-up flash is tiny in size but provides enough light for regular shooting, and plenty of fill light when you need to lighten up a particular shot
  • I have family members who spent double and there photos don't turn out as clear and bright in fast low light settings
  • Auto-focus in low light slow compared to my Canon EOS Rebel T3
  • The included 16-50mm lens is decent and generally works well in good lighting.
  • It is only a real issue framing a picture in bright sun light

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • I am a Youtuber and recommend anyone who wants to have a good quality camera for a reasonable price that is good for vlogging and specific topic/content or beauty vlogging to invest
  • This camera is amazing, the only down side is that the price of additional lenses is expensive.
  • This camera takes great pic, and short videos at a fair price
  • so I could pursue repairs on my own (for a much cheaper price than the quoted $126.50).
  • I was fortunate to find a great deal where I was able to get my hands on the a5000 for a great price

  • The Sony A5000 is super compact, with the kit lens, the F stop range, with that lens is ( F3.5 - F35 ) with is a broad range for such a compact
  • I previously own a Sony NEX5, but had it stolen
  • I did buy a Sigma 19 lens as well as a Sony E55-210 telephoto lens to go with this camera & I love the Sigma lens but the lens that came with it also took nice photos and selfies
  • My cheap Sony Cyber-Shot DSC W570 point and shoot is doing somehow better in such conditions
  • I purchased a Sony a5000 in May 2014 and loved the functionality and quality it put out even with my amateur photo skills.

Reviews around lens (3.73 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, my fiance dropped it on day 2 of our trip and the lens bent so it could not retract.
  • The I have had this camera for exactly 47 days and the lens is already making a weird "zipper noise" whenever the lens extends
  • It would be better if it came with a good 50mm lens instead of a silly zoom lens, but I like it a lot
  • I found this camera and it seemed like it would be a great performer while still being small in size and having a good lens out of the box
  • but the lens it comes with is perfect for landscape and close up picks.
