== Overview == The Sony ILCE-5000 features a 20.1 Megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor for capturing pictures with high quality using the picture formats RAW and JPEG.

It can also record HD videos using the MPEG-4 format and AVCHD Progressive.

The '''BIONZ X image processor''' ensures fast processing speeds, improved noise reduction, and accurate colour reproduction.

It uses a 3-inch tilt-able LCD Screen.

The Sony Alpha 5000 (ILCE-5000 or α5000) has built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for transferring photos and videos from the camera wirelessly to a mobile device with Android or iOS installed, using the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile app.

Unlike the Sony α6000, the Sony α5000 does not feature a built-in viewfinder.
