Overview

DSLR Quality. Wi-Fi Convenience.
The ILCE-5000 includes refined capabilities in a pocket-able size that makes it is easy to get beautiful pictures almost anywhere.

Near Field Communication (NFC) enables single touch image sharing with compatible mobile devices or direct connection with Android™ and iOS devices via Wi-Fi®.

Go from Snapshot to Photograph
The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized Alpha DSLRs gives the ILCE-5000 13 times the area of the typical point-and-shoot image sensor. APS-C sensor size delivers an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds to give even simple shots an artistic touch.

180-Degree Tilting LCD
Change your view with a tilting LCD that flips up 180-degrees without sacrificing compactness. See what you're shooting no matter where the camera is to take stunning self-portraits, perfectly framed low angle shots, and incredibly precise compose pictures.

Built-In Pop-Up Flash
Perfect when an extra burst of light is needed to get the shot, the pop-up flash combined with high ISO sensitivity makes shooting in just about any challenging lighting situation a breeze.

Shoot Full HD Movies
Capture HD Movies in your choice of standard 60i or cinematic 24p frames per second, all at Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. The AVCHD™ codec delivers stunning Blu-ray™ picture quality while the PC-friendly MP4 codec lets you compress to smaller 1080/30p files for easier upload to the Internet.

Instantly Connect to Smartphones and Tablets
