Perfect Travel Companion: Sony Alpha A5000

It's summer time again this just means that beach hopping is mainstream again and having a good camera will help you treasure all your great memories. Have you heard of mirrorless cameras? They are cameras with the same quality as DSLR but more handy. It is called mirrorless since it does not have a movable mirror in the optical path. And I would like to intriduce to you the Sony Alpha A5000.

KEY FEATURES

I used to have a DSLR but not a mirrorless camera. It was released last 2016 and I read a lot of good reviews about it. 20megapixel APS-C sensor; 3-inch, 460k-dot LCD screen; Wi-Fi functionality; Bionz-X processor image processor; 1,200-zone Evaluative Multi-segment metering.

Autofocus modes available on the A5000 include multi-area, centre, selective single-point, tracking AF, face detection and continuous. As you would expect, raw and JPEG image capture is possible, while full-HD video recording is possible.
The A5000 has the same 3in, 460k-dot LCD screen – that can be flipped 180 degrees to face forward – which featured on the NEX-3N.
The camera features the new addition of NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity, which means you can immediately transfer photos to your smart phone and upload it on social media (Perfect for all bloggers and feeling bloggers like me).

INNOVATIONS

Whether you’re snapping a photo of yourself with your best friends or taking a vibrant night shot in a bustling city, these innovations help ensure your photos are as beautiful as the experiences that inspire them.


There are several scene modes that allow you to get the exact shot you want no matter what. There are nine modes total scenes to choose from, ranging from portrait to sports action and macro to night scene. You can use these in addition to the 10 different effects–posterization, pop color, retro photo, partial color, high contrast monochrome, HDR painting, rich-tone monochrome, miniature, watercolor, and illustration–to enhance or change the photos mood entirely. You can even use the posterization, pop color, retro photo, partial color, high contrast monochrome, toy camera, and soft high-key effects to give your videos a new look as well.

Here are the sample photos


The camera cost Php 22,999 and I think it''s worth the price. Perfect for beginners and for entry level photographer.
