    I recently bought an a5000 and I'm looking for suggestions on accessories. Here's what I'm considering:

    3rd party battery and charger
    LCD protector that will help with glare (hood?)
    case or silicone armor

    Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    I have a Digipower travel charger. It's rather bulky but works fine. For batteries, I bought Sony O.E.M. I've had third party batteries on other cameras that didn't seem to last very long. I have a Vello glass screen protector (plastic ones seem to scratch too easily). Works great but does nothing for glare.

    Thanks for the suggestions, Schusskabob. I'm ok with a spare battery that lasts long enough for me to charge the OEM. Just looking for something reliable & cheaper than the Sony. I'll check out the Vello.

    I have Wasabi Power's battery and charger --does the trick for me. I haven't noticed a performance difference between the OE Sony battery and the Wasabis.
