We bought this camera to photograph construction sites for our marketing media, it was great and then got stolen. I recommend Sony cameras because of the image stabilization built into the camera. Most brands don't include this as the lenses have image stabilization, but these lenses cost more than double the price of standard lenses. Buy one of these Sony Alphas to save money, get last year's model or an older one, it's still an amazing camera, then just buy a good Tamron lens and enjoy.
