Sony A5000 Camera
One of the biggest drawbacks to carrying a camera with you everywhere is no doubt the bulk — that's probably why most opt to just use the one they already have on them, their smartphone. But with the Sony A5000 Camera ($600), you get all the capabilities of most DSLR cameras, at about half the size and weight. So there's really no excuse. This tiny interchangeable lens mirrorless camera sports a powerful 20 megapixel APS-C sensor, and the very fast BIONZ X processor, while accommodating the range of E-mount lenses. It also features Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, a 180-degree tilting LCD screen, a built-in flash, full HD video capability, and includes a 16-50mm zoom lens. Not bad for a shooter weighing in at under a half pound.
