gave up on dSLRs?

 

If it were up to me i'd buy the one with the biggest sensor.

This one is for my partner

 

I was thinking the a5000 as it's a mirrorless camera. 2014, but still.

Well, a lot of those cameras are different ergonomically wise, your SO should try them out before committing? 

 

 

edit: also, some of those  aren't mirrorless, some are "bridge cameras"
