I've worked as a photojournalist for the past 35 years. When I need a small, pocketable setup, I use my A5100 (24mp) and a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 (great for portraits). Take your time (use focus peaking, bracket your exposures), and you will be stunned with the results. Thanks for this excellent video, Mark.

This is my baby. I bought the a5000 10 years ago at Best Buy for $300. Came with the kit lens (which is pretty bad) and a $100 gift card. Love how tiny it is. Its been my main camera since because its allowed in places where other cameras are not. I go through metal detectors and people don't ever give it a second look.

the a5100 is a big step forward. i got one last September brand new in a sealed box with one-year warranty for 11,000THB (313USD at that time). perfect for experimenting with CCTV lenses like the Fujian 35mm 1.4 and all the fantastic manual lenses by Brightin Star, Risespray, 7Artisans, TTartisan... edit: the focus peaking comes in very handy in absence of the viewfinder.

@catalin-ap 2 ай бұрын

That is an understatement! The a5100 is a bad camera, compared to what Sony has today, even on the entry-level. It has decent autofocus, awful ergonomics, and a lack of buttons and a reduced customisability. But it's tiny, ultra-cheap used, and has a flash and a good touchscreen to put your focus point! The a6000 is the much more useful camera, in autofocus and ergonomics, despite not having a touchscreen. However, compared to the a5100, the a5000 is a garbage camera for not much lower price, and the NEX-5T for instance (one of the best of the NEXs) is awful as well - has that old techonolgy of touchscreen, which is awful and semi-responsive.

Mark Wiemels Hi Mark I have been out with my a5000 today taking test shots with a vintage lens for a video I am doing, I have had mine for about 4 years. I got it for next to nothing as it was bare bones with no parts other than the kit 16-50 electric zoom lens which is awful. I bought it as a third camera behind my Pentax SLR and sony zv1 vlogging camera. I mainly use it for low light and night shots as its so much better than the Pentax. I have a sigma art 19mm 2.8 a sony 18-55 ios kit lens and today I have been playing with a vintage m42 helios 135mm 2.8, the results have been great as is the camera I love mine. Miss having a hotshoe mount but memory card placement is an upside over some other sonys as is all the built in modes.

I don't know about the a5000, but the a5100 actually has really nice 1080p video (nicer than the 1080p video that later a6300 and a6500 bodies have). However, the a5100 overheats in about 10 minutes in a 75-degree day. The a6000 also has nice 1080p video, despite not having picture profiles, since it only has creative styles.

Love to see how they do in the wild, like street photography, out in nature, macro, portrait. I bet a good photographer can produce excellent images with a not so excellent lens.

In January, on a whim, I bought a $300 A5100 from MPB. It's a surprisingly tiny camera compared to the flagship MFT cameras I usually use. However, both the A5100 and A5000 are nowhere near $100 at MPB now. Try 3x more. The A5100 impressed me so much that I bought a new A6700, mostly for its autofocus, stabilization and video upgrades over those older models. Now I have access to the vast E-mount lens universe. Still getting used to the size-weight increases vs my MFT gear.

Great points!!! I love the way that U're different from the rest of the KZfaqrs especially those jumping on promoting every single latest, greatest n most expensive gears! I'm a serious photographer and until now, I still can't justify for replacing my Sony A6000 (which I brought in 2014, sorry Sony) ... and I can take any photos just about as good as any latest cameras! The main reason is, in today's digital age, the camera itself is just a light capturing device and once the image is captured into 1s n 0s digitally, one can easily manipulate the image computationally ... whether it is lens distortions, noise, saturations, colors, sharpness, contrast, len boken and etc! I sincerely hope more people who are seriously into photography spend more time into studying lightings, composition, perspective, post production and developing one's artistic style to become a great photographer rather than focusing endlessly on the gears ... and leave changing every latest cameras and lens to the gear-heads!!!

Last year I had this exact camera and the a6000. One thing that the a5000 beats the a6000 is in the grip. I LOVED how the a5000 felt in my hands, something I did not felt while holding the other one. In every other aspect the a6000 is the superior camera. The a5000 is truly compact, with a pancake lens you are having a mini Ricoh. The problem with it is the lack of buttons and dials to change settings. I did configured it in a way to quickly access the menu and switched between Av and Tv. I even took both the a6000 and the a5000 to cover for a kids birthday party as requested by a friend. Sucked at night time but I got the 28-70mm zoom on the a6000 and the 50 1.8 on the a5000 and still got great pics with them when light was still around.

It depends on why you're using the camera. The a6700 is a rather strong camera for photography and filming. Any old Sony APS-C camera that you can find for a low price is a good idea because you won't have to replace lenses if you move to an A6700. Tamron 18-300 is undoubtedly the greatest bargain lens for photography, and Sigma 10-18 is best for wide angle. For videographers, the Sony 18-105 power zoom and Sony 10-20 power zoom are excellent lenses. For novices who wish to combine both photography and filmmaking, the 18-105 power zoom is the greatest option for affordability and quality and versatility.

The latest tech is not always optimal unless you are a high end pro. My criteria for camera shopping is that the results have to at least beat my phone, which I already have all the time. An alternative for me needs to be super portable, lightweight, rugged, superior resolution (not necessarily 40mp with higher storage needs and processing requirements), excellent single battery life, AF and 4k video for crisp viewing. I like the idea of a good relatively inexpensive quality camera just to grab and go, without the worry of damage or theft, just to be available anytime. I'm also poor and always looking for a deal.

Get the Sony a3000 mirrorless dslr styled body that has an electronic viewfinder. Not the best lcd or viewfinder but it operates just like the a5000 and came out the same time.

Hi Mark, I’m about to push the button on the Sony ZVE-10 for use on my YT Woodturning Channel. I’m not an expert photographer and coming from an iPhone 14 Pro using Filmic pro - I know there will be a learning curve. I’m excited. My question and I hope you can answer, please is - what lens would you recommend? Your channel has been my inspiration and have learnt a lot from your expertise. Thankyou

Sigma 18-55, also, invest in some lighting and watch tutorials on lighting. This will be critical to the quality of the video.

By the way, this camera may not be great for _recording_ video, but it's a nice, inexpensive tool to use for streaming instead of a traditional webcam (because in such setup the camera is just 'watching'). Cheers! //Rick

A5100 has very decent HD and better than some 4K models when they shoot HD. It also has slightly better AF taken from the A6000 too.

I’ve been using my a5000 for the last 8 years (3 years in high school and 5 yrs in architecture school) I’ve been shooting grad photos to make some extra money and it still does more than the job. Its not the gear, it’s what you know (although I would love to be able to shoot 60fps😅)

Sure is cheap, but add a few $$ and go for a5100. After research on facilities and prices, invested £356 in A6000 with PZ 16-50mm. 30 days to try and compare with current kit. Tempted by the Brightin Star f/0.95.

This model was my 1st real camera about 12 or 13 years ago. Honestly, I didn't like it because of the lack of EVF. I traded it in to get a discount on the Sony a6000
