The A5000 offers the High Definition video shooting of the rest of the NEX series, full HD AVCHD (60i/50i/25p/24p) with stereo sound to be precise, which will be more than adequate for the A5000's target audience. You can even fully turn it to the front, proving very useful for those ubiquitous selfies, although you can't close it inwards against the camera body to help protect it. The 3 inch LCD screen can be tilted back and forward through a full 180° - if not, unfortunately swung outwards at 90° - to allow for low and high angle compositions we might not have attempted without. With the supplied 16-50mm power zoom kit lens attached the Sony A5000 doesn't look or feel too top heavy, as the lens retracts back into itself when not in use, making for a very compact overall package. It now has a taller, bigger grip than the NEX-3N with a subtle indentation near the top, which slightly improves your grip on the camera. Given the recent release of the Panasonic Lumix GM1, Sony are now marketing the A5000 as the smallest interchangeable lens camera with wi-fi in the world, weighing a mere 210g and measuring 109.6 x 62.8 x 35.7mm - and they've still retained the NEX-3N's built-in pop-up flash and 180-dgree tilting LCD screen.ĭespite weighing so little (admittedly without the lens and battery fitted), the A5000 still feels solid gripped in the palm, though with a lens attached it's too large for most jacket pockets. The new Sony A5000 is virtually identical to its predecessor, the NEX-3N, the main design changes being a bigger handgrip and the relocation of the Playback button to the rear of the camera, while internally the main menu system has been completely revamped. The Sony A5000 is available now in white, silver or black priced at around £420 / $499.99 with the 16-50mm power zoom lens and £630 with the 16-50mm power zoom and 55-210mm lenses. Successor to last year's NEX-3N model, the Sony A5000 features a 20.1 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, BIONZ X processor, full HD AVCHD (60i/50i/25p/24p) video recording, 3-inch 180° tiltable LCD panel with 460k-dot resolution, built-in pop-up flash, a zoom lever, 4fps burst shooting, 25-point contrast-detect autofocus system, 1,200-segment exposure meter, Auto Object Framing mode, a range of Picture Effects, NFC connectivity and 480 shot battery life. It's also currently the world’s smallest, lightest interchangeable lens camera with built-in wi-fi connectivity. The A5000 is the new entry-level model in Sony's range of compact system cameras.
