Sony A5000 Review - A5000 Performance
Sony's A5000 targets entry-level users for the mirrorless bandwagon.
Sony's entry-level mirrorless camera keeps things simple
With Sony dropping the NEX branding from their mirrorless models, adopting a 20-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor in a small form factor the new Alpha a5000 appears to continue the NEX lineage. Read on to find out how well it performs.

If you are starting out vlogging, video filming or want to share online tutorials, this camera is very easy to use and lightweight (the A5000 weighs less than 400 grams and that's with the lens and battery included).

Sony's latest CSC features familiar NEX styling but offers improved autofocusing, more logical menus and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC.
A high-resolution interchangeable-lens camera that is smaller and lighter than some similarly-priced DSLRs but lacks a viewfinder and hot-shoe.
The Sony HT-A5000 is a standalone 5.1.2 setup released in 2021. It's not as well-built as the 7.1.2 Sony HT-A7000, and its soundstage performance isn't as impres...
