Amazing camera for streaming

    • Best Sony other then A7s for video, Amazing stills too
Color: Black Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
I own 4 of these, the video is amazing, very little morie, great in low light. The still quality is great too. I basically look at cameras like it's a chip with a lens. I would rather own a bunch of affordable bodies, keep the lenses I like on them, and never change the lens in the field. This strategy greatly reduces the chance of dirt on my sensor. I personally don't like to look at an image with the sky with dirt all over the image, and the further you stop a lens down the greater the dirt on the sensor will show. I also use a Sony DSC-HX60 for timelapse shots, they are cheap, look great and travel small. All the Sony cameras I have tried, to use apps, especially timelapse required a firmware upgrade, and a Play Store account with funds to load the apps. I wish they had it upgraded as of May 2015, the version I received is 1.0 ,and the apps need 1.1. So to me, rather then putting all my eggs into a A7s, I would rather own five of these. To have a pristine sensor is paramount, especially when shooting video and panning. It took forever but Sony finally did deliver a nearly perfect sensor for video with this camera. I do go through cameras fairly regularly, so will I own this in 2 to 3 years, probably not, but I have to say for today this is the best price performance camera bar none. I also had a a6000, not worth the extra dollars to me, inferior video quality, poor layout of battery SD card placement. I also dont really care about the viewfinder it has, you have to be straight on to use it any way. Just get a nice loupe, and enjoy the excellent screen on the a5100. Also sometimes my subjects like to see what they look like on camera, try that on the a6000 while shooting. ... show more

Color: Black Style: Base Set: Base
I have owned the A6000 for a little over a year now, my recent 35mm purchase took it to a whole new level. This time around, my girlfriend was in the market for a compact camera that she could take on trips and I suggested she take a look at the RX100Mk2 or 3 and the A5100. In the end, she went with the 5100 based on features and price. Since I already own some Sony glass, she was able to save even more money and just get the body at $350. The A5100 covered all the bases she was looking for in a camera, and then some! Build quality looks and feels pretty nice, it has this textured finish which is great for fighting fingerprints especially on a black body. It does have a plasticy feeling but it's nothing to be concerned about, not at this price range. She really just needed something to take pictures..selfies...with in a compact form factor and document her adventures, she's not trying to be a professional photographer. I want to get this out the way because it did piss me off. Nothing to do with the camera, just the process of getting it. The first camera we received literally looked like someone got it for Christmas and returned it. The graphics on the top of the box were torn off, long gone with the Christmas wrapping paper it was stuck to. The body wasn't even sealed off and you could clearly see that the sealing tape had been torn off. Fingerprints all over the body and screen, couple scratches too. Dust on the sensor and the cap wasn't even locked all the way, really Amazon? You're going to send us this when we paid for something brand new? Luckily Amazon has an amazing return/replacement policy and they take care of their customers but crap like this should not slip by. Yeah maybe from a 3rd party seller but not from Amazon. 5 Stars for the Body 2 For Amazon ... show more

When doing research, I didn't find much about this camera. I realized it was because this camera was a lot older, and because it was an older camera I hesitated on buying it. But since I've purchased it, I've never had any issues with it, and it takes AMAZING photos. The quality is so crisp, don't have any issues with the battery, or screen issues. The style of it is so cute and different from other cameras. ... show more

    • Overheats during recording and doesn't save your videos.
Color: White Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
UPDATE 8/25/18: I sent it in for repair and it still did the same thing the day I received it back. I contacted Amazon and they send me a replacement. I was PRAYING it would be a good one! I started using it and the SAME overheating issue happened just seconds into recording! UGH! So far Sony has never responded to me about this issue. BIG disappointed! UPDATE 6/12/18: I changed my 5 stars to 2. Here's why... I've had this camera for 6 months (purchased in Jan). I use this now mostly for video tutorials for my YouTube Channel. I watched/read a lot of good reviews & the one downside was that it does not have an output for external microphones so it's sorta echos when you're far away. This was minor for me (even though) I would prefer to have one. THE BIGGEST ISSUE I have is that it overheats. This started about 2 months ago. While recording the, camera overheats and shuts down. When it shuts down, it does NOT save your recording. This means that I've lost it all. This is very frustrating. I have to remember to stop it every so often so that it saves and re-record. So i'm recording in short intervals. I tried to contact Sony directly. Nothing. I tried to contact Sony through Amazon's "support" button (message) feature. Nothing. So, I'm frustrated that I spent $$$ on something that I'm prob not going to use anymore. I will be looking for a new video recorder! First impression: So far so good. I’ve had it for only 3 days. I purchase this to carry around since my Nikon D850 was too heavy for lugging around daily. I LOVE that it’s lightweight. We were out all day and I had it on a strap (not the one it cane with) around my neck & barely noticed it (where my Nikon would have started giving me neck/shoulder pains after an hour). The quality is great so far. I’m used to fixed prime lens so I didn’t care too much for the kit lens. I’ve ordered a prime lens and it won’t be here for another couple of days. I compared the a5000, a5100, & a6000 before deciding to go with the a5100. I compared all specs side by side and decided for myself I wanted the a5100. I plan to use it for everyday photos & product photos so I don’t need anything too costly. I also compared it to the Mark 3 Olympus and I chose the Sony based on 1) size 2) weight 3) crop sensor 4) look (yes, I care about how it looks lol). 5) megapixels & even though it didn’t have 4K video, I didn’t plan on vlogging so it didn’t matter too much. Will update soon! ... show more
