Sony a5000 vs sony a5100?

The Sony a5000 and Sony a5100 have a lot in common. Both are 2014 mirrorless cameras with the same APS-C sensor size and Sony E mount, and neither has stabilisation in the body. The main difference is resolution: the a5100 has 24.3 megapixels to the a5000's 20.1. The a5100 is also a tiny body with a flip-up screen and no viewfinder, so check that suits how you shoot.

Since neither body steadies the image, I'd pair either one with a stabilised lens. Good options from both lists are the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS, the Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS, and the Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS for reach.
