Sony A5000 or something else?

[kaptainmarc]

I am looking at getting a decent compact camera.

I want a decent camera as now I have all the big life decisions out the way we are throwing money at decent holidays and travelling a lot more visiting new places.

Watched a lot of reviews online and a lot of people seem to really like the Sony A5000

and I can pick it up for around £290.

Anyone got any views on this camera in the real world scenario or recommend any others? in the same price bracket

Generally in the CSC market you'll find two camps; one Sony and the other Fuji. Before making the decision also checkout the Fuji X-T10 which is more than a capable camera, plenty of reviews out there...

thanks I will watch some reviews

Knock knock. Who's there? Micro Four Thirds.

what does this mean? I'm no camera pro

One thing to consider about the Sony a5000,lens can be quite expensive for a good one,there are some good cheap ones like the sigma 19mm 2.8 but it all depends on if you want a zoom or not.

just wanting a decent point and shoot for now with the option of additional lenses at a later stage

JL are doing the panasonic G80 for 670 if u price match smartly.

bit of a price jump from a £290 camera up to £670
