Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Sony a6100 can shoot 4k video at a resolution of 3840 x 2160. The photo quality is excellent with the kit lens, but the video quality is absolutely superior to what i can shoot with an iphone 11 pro.

The back display folds up and i found that a bit clunky but it preserves the thin format of the camera. Its minor drawbacks keep it from dominating any one category.

This camera has an impressively bright viewfinder. Focus speed and accuracy on the a6100 are excellent. I recommend this camera over any fujifilm aps-c in general, but if you want weather sealing and 8k video, get a samsung galaxy s21 ultra. The camer... Read More

The sony a6100 is a compact and easy to travel with camera, especially with the petite 16-50 power zoom lens. It's quieter than the snap of a dslr but still makes some noise. The reversal screen makes framing your image from in front of the lens a sna... Read More

The a6100 uses the same e-mount as all sony mirrorless cameras, both aps-c and full-frame models. It has a built-in flash as well as a standard hot shoe for attaching external flashes. The camera has the same sensor as the a6000 but the autofocus syst... Read More

Cons

Software is horrible, it won't run on my iphone at all - it loops me to accept terms but never allows me past it as it says, retry over and over - over an 8 month period! This is very disappointing and disheartening, which makes me very leary in buyin... Read More

Highlights

Quality

Dynamic range is excellent and i am able to recover a lot of lost highlight and shadow detail.

I’ve enjoyed my canon and sony point-and-shoot cameras, and have been able to play around with a lot of their auxiliary feature... Read More

Worst of all, i’m not sure if i had a bad unit, or if these vary by unit, but this camera would overheat after just 27 continuo... Read More

Price

A great price for a camera this good.

For a price sensitive buyer this is a great deal and easily 5 stars.

You won't get anything that's near worth the value you get with this.

8couldn't ask for anything more from a camera in that price range

Packaging/appearance

I purchased this because i needed a light weight camera to carry while hiking and back packing.

Competitiveness

The a6100 is the best ratio of quality to dollar spend across all brands in my opinion.

That means access to some 54 native lenses from sony, plus more from third parties like sigma, tamron, and zeiss.

The a6100 at the time of this review is about ~$750 which means it technically isn't trying to compete with the other cameras i... Read More

Some of its direct competitors are the fuji x-a7 and cannon m200 neither of which offer a viewfinder, so in fairness i can't do... Read More
