The new A5100 looks like a winner – basically a A6000 without EVF. i’d have loved a mag-alloy body, but even the A6000 is made out of plastic, that wasn’t possible, especially for the asking price.
Besides that, the Alpha 5000 incl. the “infamous” 16-50 PZ Kit Lens costs here in germany (18.8. online price check) 379 EUR only, and the Alpha 6000 with the same Kitlens goes for 679 EUR here – so the A5100 Kit must be cheaper.
Hopefully, in one year or less the A5100 doesn’t cost more than 400 Bucks with PZ Lens.
Update: The A5100 with 16-50 PZ currently is listed here for just 30 EUR less then the A6000 Kit – so it’s clear, for that price, nobody which isn’t dumb would
buy the A5100 Kit yet. It has to be much cheaper – 499 EUR would be a good
starting price.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
