The small camera that thinks big

Cameras have become a part of our lifestyle. This is especially true when traveling where we take pictures of everything that sparks our interest, or the scenes we want to revisit in the future. 

At present, the demand to be able to take great pictures using a lightweight and portable device anywhere you go has led to the abrupt development of smartphone cameras. However, smartphone cameras have their limits too. Over the years, while point-and-shoot cameras have become better, and smaller DSLRs start to flood the market, the compact interchangeable lens camera segment is gaining popularity to adventurous people who want to take great pictures in a compact body with the ability to change lenses. 

Equipped with an APS-C sensor that's several times bigger than your average smartphone's camera for better quality and detailed pictures. 

Take for example Sony's a5000 from their alpha camera line. Physically, the a5000's size is comparable to a point-and-shoot camera yet capable enough to rival some DSLRs in image quality - perfect for travelers who have limited luggage space or who don't want to carry huge DSLRs like me lol. Another advantage of the a5000 is the flip up LCD screen that makes for the best quality selfies with lovely soft backgrounds. Full HD video recording meanwhile allows travelers to record high quality videos that can be shared via the HDMI port. Of course, all of these notable features are nothing without the long-lasting battery that can last up to 420 shots before needing another top-up. 

Personally, my favorite feature of the a5000 is the WiFi with NFC for instant easy photo sharing among my friends' and family's devices. 

Different Picture Effects and styles are also available to bring out the creativity of the users too. And with the ability to download additional apps such as Time Lapse and Multi-exposure like a smartphone, it's like upgrading your camera at no cost! Speaking of cost, one of its key selling points is its price tag. At Php 22,999 the portable, capable yet affordable a5000 is the best camera for people who love to travel.
