Update: DEAD!
This was selling for $798 and is now by far the lowest price ever from Amazon!
This package comes with a wide angle and a telephoto lens! I’ve never seen that package sell for less than $698 until now!
Why get a real camera if you have a smartphone?
A baby deer was born in my front yard and this picture was taken of it with a Galaxy phone:
When I got home later, I took a picture of it with the telephoto lens on my Sony a6000:
I haven’t edited these pictures at all. You can tell the difference in quality that you can get from a phone’s camera versus a mirrorless camera.
Iāve been using the A6000 for several years and love it, it takes fantastic pictures very quickly. The quality of pictures in low-light situations and with zoom are far better than from even the most advanced smartphones. And I can easily transfer the pictures to my phone over WiFi or even use my phone as a remote with the phone displaying the camera screen. The electronic viewfinder also does wonders when itās sunny out.
Mirrorless digital cameras offer SLR type performance and sensor size in a compact and intuitive package. In fact it even does things better than an SLR, such as video. Itās bigger than the point and shoot you might be used to, but the pictures it takes are just incredible. In a pinch it can still fit into your pocket even with the 16-50 lens on, something that canāt be done with an SLR.

This preferred over an SLR for family portraits of the kids etc ?
I personally use this. More portable and takes amazing pictures and video.
Plus this comes with 2 lenses, which is amazing for this price.
I’d highly recommend buying this for it as well:

Thanks dan. Can you explain please what this strap offers over the base strap that is already included?
You can wear it securely cross body and it makes it super easy and accessible to travel with and take quick pictures.
Dan you’re the best. If you say HOT I buy! And thanks for so clearly showing the difference in quality between pictures.
i bought the sony rx100 instead of this model, and am NOT happy with my choice (wholly unimpressed). learn from my mistake.
Sell it on eBay and get this deal. Worth it.
