Amazing deal!

Sony a5000 mirrorless camera and 16-50 lens, plus 16gb card and case, for $298!

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1022331-REG/sony_ilce_5000b_k_alpha_a5000_mirrorless_digital.html

Will I be able to achieve the same effects with this camera that an slr will give me? ex. blurred bkgrnd? and will I be able to accomplish it fairly easily? is this price a great value for this camera?

It's your typical kit lens. Good for most everyday usage.

Canon vs. Sony branding.

What will this camera not be able to do? or achieve?

Wash your dishes, sing hava nagila, and MS at Target. There are probably a couple more, but I can't think of them at the moment ;).

Sony NEX-5T mirrorless camera and 16-50 lens for $299 on amazon today only.

Not quite as good a deal as last week's camera, but still a solid camera at a great price.

This has the same amount of bells and whistles as an SLR except interchangeable lenses, and the image quality of a fairly lousy P&S.

Even better deal than last week’s (which is still alive BTW):
 
Sony a6000, 16-50mm lens, 55-210mm lens, $50 B&H gift card, 16GB SD card, and shoulder bag for $746 (reg. value of all this is over $1200).
 
This means that after the GC you’re getting the telephoto lens for only $98 more than the Amazon deal – a lens which normally costs $350.
 
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1105052-REG/sony_alpha_a6000_mirrorless_digital.html

ETA: Get an additional 5% off if you use the B&H app and Google Checkout - the total would be $709.
