The Sony Alpha line of cameras are incredible. I switched from 12 years of using a point and shoot digital camera to the NEX-6 in July 2013 and haven’t looked back. My only regret is not upgrading from a point and shoot to one earlier. Some trip reports with NEX pictures include the Banff trip report, and some pictures from the Kauai trip report, the Maui trip report and NYC trip notes. Pictures came out significantly better than with a point-and-shoot even if left on the automatic setting, but instructions are provided on the LED screen for how to use all of the other settings as well.
It offers 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. It’s 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 can’t be done with an SLR.
A versatile wide angle 16-50 lens is included but there are other interchangeable lenses you can purchase as your photo skills grow.
The $200 off holiday instant rebate promotion will end tomorrow.
-The A5000 was $498 and is on sale for $298.
-The A6000 was $798 and is on sale for $598.
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.
Either way you’ll get an excellent camera that will make your smartphone camera look like a sad joke.
B&H:
The a5000 cameras are $298 and come with a free SanDisk 16GB Class 10 SD card and a Ruggard Commando 15 Shoulder Bag.

The telephoto lens could be added to the a5000 for $148 as well, not only to the a6000.
Even if you don’t need it, get it ands flip it on eBay. They’ve been selling for $200-$225.
Dan any idea when nex lenses will go on sale?
Apparently Amazon matched the price on the a5000
@Something Fishy:
Cool!
Updated the post.
@Sam:
You can look on eBay.
@Anonymous:
Most are. See B&H, Amazon, at. al.
Same idea as the cameras – instant rebates, ending tomorrow
I see the a5000 on sony’s website also for $299.99. I am thinking one could pair this with the Amex offer for $25 back after spending $100 at Sony (buy 3 $100 gift cards) bringing the cost down to $225. Does this sound doable or am I missing something?
I bought the a5000 from abt.com because I had an Amex offer for an extra discount. They matched the b&h bundle price with a case and memory card when I called. Not sure what Amex offers are current but if there is another electronic store that sells cameras, worth a try.
