Pros

Reviewer is a photographer who uses a canon camera. He says it's the lens and the photographer that makes it a good photo. He also says it takes amazing video and is great as a selfie camera too. "i'm a photographer that uses canon. I'm a amp amp amp.... Read More

The camera is lightweight and small enough to fit easily in most handbags. It’s compatible with most tripods and mounting arms. The provided strap is pretty standard, nothing fancy.

It’s also a good thing i got this before the upped the price (wow). A couple things from the seller. Completely happy with this purchase.

The lens it comes with is great quality. The sound quality is decent as well. Love the quality. Beautiful quality. Quality is awesome!

The a6000 is a serious camera that asks you to know what you're doing in order to get the most out of it. With the same sensor and processing engine, and a touch screen, think of this as a point-n-shoot version of the a6000. Focus where you touch and ... Read More

Cons

There are plenty of similar cameras out there that actually function properly. The display, even at the very highest brightness setting, is no where near bright enough to see in sunlight. Sony's troubleshooting articles on this are insultingly trivial... Read More

While recording the, camera overheats and shuts down. It overheats after recording for 7-9 minutes if you aren’t on airplane mode. Please, if you want to take good photos outside, do yourself a favor and purchase a sony which has an electronic view fi... Read More

Quality

I started making my own youtube videos and i really enjoy the quality this camera films in.

The quality is good and the camera is easy to use.

Camera shake & motion elimination, and then tweaking the aperture as needed.

The touchscreen on this camera feels like its from 2012, and is pretty much completely useless.

Price

Great purchase for me glad i got it at the price i did too.

If you're a streamer on twitch or youtube or want to make youtube videos, this is a great mirrorless camera at it's price point.

8 lens ($180), then later with a sigma 30mm f1.

Can’t believe the prices can fluctuate the way it does :/

Shipping

We just got our camera in the mail 2 days ago, and we seem to be missing the ac adaptor.

It was shipped usps which i though was lazy as usps has had many delivery issues with covid.

Packaging/appearance

Brand new, as pictured and in the box.

I can’t give a review on the lens it comes with because i had ordered a sigma 16mm one and put that one in immediately upon ope... Read More

Competitiveness

Got this camera because i wanted something light weight for traveling but as good as an dslr.

The ibis in particular opens up a lot of new doors for low light and night photography.

I spent a long time comparing this camera (sony a5100) to other sony mirrorless models, specifically the a6000 and a6300.

If the price on the a6500 (used) is still too much for you then i would suggest any sony a6xxx series with a viewfinder instead... Read More
