A5000 the perfect compromise!

The A5000 fits perfectly into the Lowepro Dashpoint 20 bag that can be worn on a belt even if you know the camera with a hand strap. In addition, the A5000 features an APS-C sensor with 20 megapixel resolution and thus over the SLR typical image effect (eg depth) and high ISO capability (good until 3200).

The decor is minimalist, yet nothing is missing except for an F-key. However, as can be prove all keys individually, but befriends you look at soon. I recommend to put the recording mode on the? Button and program the center button on Standard. Links the focus area and the right focus mode are more meaningful assignments. If you then set the P mode, the focusing area once Flexible spot, then remembers the camera. So you can then put in the auto mode with the center AF Lock button or in PASM mode with the rocker key focus point. That's pretty convenient.

The lens is quite passable (for the price) and covers a good range of 24mm up to 75mm (with the useful Klarsfeld Zoom to 150 mm).

What particularly impressed me at the camera, the great exposed out-of-cam images, in which one (except sharpening) no longer has to work a lot are. The automatic mode works very well and makes the camera suitable for snapshot. Sony compliment! Autofocus is fast enough, but is of limited use for moving subjects (which may the A6000 really good).

Clear recommendation!
