Most probably. Love the EPL5 flip up screen for selfies with my wife.

Oh. I have the epl5. I dun like that flip up action. It's not easy to flip it quickly. The gf6 was better. The nex3? Also has a good flip up. The nex5t is quite good but not as good as the nex3.

Oh.. Yeah the nex5 flip up is not bad. Haha I guess when I have a 6 that cant flip up, the epl5 is oook. But agree that it can be better.

Apparently the A5000 is already on sale.

In shops for 2 days. Stealthy launch.

 

[Oly5050]

Why no one interested in this A5000??

 

[richiemccaw1]

Perhaps most pple lurking on this forum are more likely to be who the a6000 is targetted at. Plus the a6000 has stolen all the attention away from the a5000..

That's right. I sold off my 5N waiting to upgrade to a5000.

But upon reading a6k details, might as well wait & get a better one.....the timing of a6k annoucement is too early before a5k settle in.

Guess only those budgeted or less inform will buy a5k. Rest of us will wait.

Whats wrong with A5k??

 

[kei1309]

The A5000 and A6000 are targeted at different market segments.

It's very easy to see why someone needing more would go for the A6000, while those who just want a better point-and-shoot camera would get the A5000

Nothing wrong w a5k. Its like iPhone 5C vs 5S, more people go for higher specs if price difference not a major issue.

Deathly quiet thread on this camera in the sony forum.

Yeap. It's already available. Not sure about the discount though.

Helping my sister to chose a camera, deciding on A5000 & Fuji X20 , same price point.

 

[richiemccaw1]

Same price point, diff cameras bro. The Fuji is a really tiny sensor. Depends on whether she needs better IQ and whether she needs ability to change amongst many factors.

If she doesn't want to have interchangeable lens, I will recommend you to get Sony RX100 Mark II instead.
