This was super helpful as someone who is just getting into this as a hobby, thanks buddy !!

Great video, keep making these kind of comparisons, they are very interesting .

[conixonni]

Whoever edited the video put a lot of effort into it, well done!

replaced my a5000 with an a6000 when I thought I water damaged my a5000. The a5000 was great for years, the form factor is so compact and small compared to the a6000. The controls and handling of the a6000 is superior for me is what I found off the bat. The photo quality difference isn't that big in side to side comparison with the same lens(sigma 30 1.4)

[Stephaniiadeline]

I gotta say the compactness of both is intriguing, for sure in the a5000. Like for hikes in the spring/summer?!

I picked an a5000 for $100 with a broken lens last week on marketplace, then another person put another sony camera (NEX F3) with two e-mount lenses (18-55 and selp1650) for $100 on marketplace too. I'll buy that second camera tomorrow!

This is my first mirrorless camera, thank you so much for uploading these videos, these helped me a lot to decide if the camera is still worth it (now let's find out if those lenses work hahaha)

Thanks!! Just picked up an a6000 body for £150 on eBay to upgrade from my a5000 so it's good to see the comparison.

Admittedly got the a6000 believing it had 4k video and was disappointed, a great deal nonetheless and if I wanted to I could sell it and my a5000 and get the money for the a6100 (at the very least).

I shoot with a5100's. Might try to get a a6400 if can find one that fits my budget. I like the a5100. Got them for avg of $250.
I like their 1080p .. won't retire or sell them.

This video has been super useful and it convinced me to go for the a6000. I currently live in Indonesia and i’ve been looking to get one. I found a great deal for around $250 including lens. It has SC of 39k and the screen has slightly a vignette. Do you think it’s worth it? Also i could go for the a5100 which is slightly cheaper. I’m actually very new to photography and your content is super useful. I wish you all the best of luck

[immalooser]

i wish i could find some in these price ranges

[RHYMA]

Im thinking of picking one of these up for streaming purpose.

Would there be any huge difference in that aspect when it comes to just static recording?

One thing i do want tho is that it should give me a nice focus on me and blur the background but if its not noticable to the eye then im thinking a5000 for better value?

[williamsurya]

Hi! I'm looking for my first camera, I'll use it mainly for basic photo and shooting video, does the a5000 overheats fast when recording video? Thank you!

[willscott]

Something else that should be noted. a6000 is much faster and more accurate with regard to auto focus. The phase detect auto focus alone is worth the additional cost. I bought both back in 2014 and 2015 and was amazed at how much better the a6000 is. Still use both today, but only use the a5000 when I want something that fits in a jacket pocket.

[tropicalbottle]

Incredible video, but I'm curiouus, where have you find them at that price? I was searching on Backmarket and the A6000 is like 900€ with 2 objectives, and the 5000 is 400€ it's the double! Thanks you

[Snakeyboi]

Ive gotta say though that in your vid the a5000 for me definitely looked much cleaner and more "Crisp"

[TheBlackCrayon]

If I'm only focusing on still shooting, no action shots, would it make a difference, in your opionion? I'm an artist who shot on 35mm for years, then would take photos for inspiration. It got costly that way though. I also still have a bunch of lenses from my vintage cameras...could those work on a Sony? They fit my Minolta.

Hey there. I am looking for a camera to take pictures with, I am not planning on shooting any videos. Would the A5000 be the preferred camera to buy?
I plan on taking pictures of Train railways, food, drinks and etc.
I am thinking of buying the A5000 because it is significantly cheaper and I don't want to spend too much money on a camera, as I am 17 and money doesn't exactly just flow into my bank account

[marianalopez]

Can you do videos on what are the best settings for the a5000?

[exyronylfa]

hi I have watched till the end but still can't make my mind on whether I should go with a6000 or getting an action cam like insta 360, I want to film and take videos but also want to shot some photos, but as a beginner I also think a5000 is a very great to start this hobby

[GFlop]

Was the first test video clip the 6000 with the beer?
