Sony Alpha a5000
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- For your budget and requirements, you're going to be very hard pushed to get anything that matches your phone. You might try a Sony A5000 and the 16 or 20mm f/2.8 lenses
- The older flagship from Sony (HT A7000) does it. A5000 also.
- I still think that the a5000 by Sony would sound much better as a standalone than the s2000. It was an $800 soundbar that Costco has been selling on clearance for $289
- If you’re still in a return window I would suggest checking Costco and see if they still have the Sony a5000. Better quality bar than the one you have and the options for rear speakers and subwoofer are the same.
- Try Olympus Pen series or E-M10 mkI maybe Sony A5100/A5000
Cons
- I was looking at getting into sports photography but i’m still in a budget for 500 or under for the camera which should i get or does anyone have any suggestions for any other cameras
- I'd choose the EM5 over the A5000 every time. The A5000 to me feels very plastic and the lack of buttons and dials are a con. The screen does flip up but it's not a touch screen and is lower res to my eye.
- Viewfinder (im not joking, I used sony a5000, big mistake)
- I already have a sony a5000 but half the photos come out blurry since i usually ask other tourists to take photos of me
- Sony a5000 - $200 with kit lens

That A5000 is a beast at its price point imo and the system is buildable. I set my parents up with it for their family room cu they have a proper basement theater, so they use it with no sub nor rears, but you can always add both or either of them later.
