SonyAlpha a5100 with 16-50mm Lens, Mirrorless Camera, Black

Q: Does the camera have a silent shutter mode?

I don't think so. I've explored all menu options without success.

Q: What are the exact dimensions and weight of this A5100 with the included kit lens?

Hi Hermit, The ILCE5100's dimensions (Approx.) : Approx. 4 3/8 x 2 1/2 x 1 7/16" (109.6mm x 62.8mm x 35.7mm) (W/H/D) excluding protrusionsWeight (Approx.) : Approx. 7.9 oz (224 g) (body only) Approx. 10.0 oz (283 g) (With battery and Memory Stick PRO Duo). Hope this helps. - Omar

Q: What is the differnce between the alpha a5100 and the a6000?

There's a great chart comparing the differences in this article: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sony-alpha-a5100

Q: Should I get this with the kit lens? And what is the best lens to use for close portrait shots and some distant landscape?

It is universally acknowledged that the kit lens is poor, but it is cheap. Any web search will show you many awesome, reasonably priced alternatives. I use sigma, sony g, and (snagged a super discount) zeiss on mine. My dream would be the 6500, but instead of that extra grand I could snag another zeiss piece. If you read the guide, you can make this as manual as a pentax k1000 (mine was a minolta 200) and become the photographer (not the camera). The touch spot focus spot shoot is the kicker for my old eyes, and the only extra reason for me for the 6500 is the in-camera stabilization. Note I use mine for still images; video is a different critter.
