The Sony Alpha line of cameras are incredible. My only regret is not upgrading from a point and shoot to one earlier. It takes SLR quality professional pictures and better than SLR video in a compact package.
Sony is making unprecedented markdowns on the Alpha cameras for the holidays.
-The A5000 was $498 in October and was $398 last week. For a limited time only it’s on sale for $298. Plus you can get another $25 off as described below.
-The A6000 was $798 in October and was $698 last week. For a limited time only it’s on sale for $598. Plus you can get another $25 off as described below.
The A5000 is the more compact camera and is light-years ahead of a phone or point and shoot camera. The A6000 adds lots of valuable features including more megapixels, quicker auto-focus system, higher ISO range for better low-light pictures, much faster continuous shooting speed, a gorgeous electronic viewfinder, and a hotshoe interface.
-Sony Alpha a5000 Interchangeable Lens Camera with 16-50mm Wide Angle Power Zoom Lens: Choose from 3 colors. They are all temporarily out of stock, but you can order now to lock in the sale and it will ship when back in stock.

@Joe:
Read the post again, “They are all temporarily out of stock, but you can order now to lock in the sale and it will ship when back in stock.”
Both actually have the same size sensor.
@Something Fishy:
Thanks SF, fixed. That’s what happens when you rely on review sites 😀
Is this Sony a5000 better than the Canon T3i rebel?
What are the differences between the two?

@OR:
That version has no lens, which would be required for the camera to function.
Can get additional 5% plus gas rewards if you have access to a Safeway (or SW owned brand grocery stores) that sell Amazon gift cards with credit cards. Use your old Blue Cash from Amex (or other 5% grocery bonus card) for 5% and (currently) get 2x gas rewards (a $500 card will get you 10 gas rewards which are equivalent to $1 off per gallon, max 25 gallons = $25 value).
Or if no grocery in your area selling Amazon gcs with credit, remember some cards also get 5% at drug (CVS et al sell Amazon gcs).
So stack that with the $25 Amazon gc deal and you’ll save
Does anyone know how this compares to the Canon S110?
will using the 25$ promo forfeit the extra year warranty from Amex?
Is it worth it to buy the 4-Year Camera/Camcorder Accident Protection Plan
