Review on Sony Alpha A5000 ILCE5000/B 20.1MP Mirrorless Digital Camera - Body Only (Black) - Optimize your search! by Melanie Williams

This is the perfect complement to my Sony a6500. When I bought my a6500 a few years ago, it had a 16-50mm lens. I recently upgraded my lens to 18-135mm and stopped using 16-50mm. Rather than leave the old lens unused I decided to add a second 'running' camera and found this used gem. While not as advanced as the a6500, it takes great pictures at almost half the weight and costs less. Are they compared to the a6500? Not quite, but very close. If my kids or wife want to take a picture too, they can now use it instead of the a6500. Of course, the menu is different and takes some getting used to, but its simplicity is refreshing. Some complained about the "feel" of the camera in hand. Yes, it's smaller, but it seems strong to me. Just add a body and that should add weight to the camera. I added a Sony black leather case; gives the camera a nice look and touch.
