    • 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

    • Great for Twitch/Youtube Streaming and Youtube Videos!! Great for Twitch/Youtube Streaming and Youtube Videos!!
Color: Black Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
Review Image by Scrambyvision
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. It does 1080p 60fps extremely well. Lots of in camera functions and features to get the shot correctly. A very familiar and easy to use GUI even for me as I used to be a Canon exclusive guy. Has nearly all the same benefits of a dSLR (Interchangeable lenses, etc) With a dummy battery, this thing works great as webcam/stream cam and has a 100% clean HDMI output, so you don't have to worry about onscreen info ruining the shot. You just need to go into settings and set the HDMI output correctly. Doesn't over heat. I have not tested it outside in direct sunlight, nor have I tested in doors in direct sunlight. I HAVE used it for 12+ hours straight in my home office and haven't had an issue. Typical HVAC settings and in a room with only blinds on the windows (no blackout curtains) and it doesn't overheat. I use an external microphone (AT2035) so I can't comment on the on-board mic. But, picture quality is great. ... show more

    • This camera is great. I love photography and I didn't totally know ...
Color: White Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
This camera is great. I love photography and I didn't totally know what to expect from a non DSLR but it takes great photos and is so versatile!!! I have a Nikon d5300 and I find myself grabbing this little guy a lot of the time instead. The sensor is better and if you're not wanting a ton of control or in a sitatuion where you don't want to be constantly adjusting in a manual mode, this camera is perfect. It has a great auto mode and it automatically edits pictures to make them look better - I've yet to seen it edit in such a way that I don't like either, it just makes every picture look more real. Great camera for selfies because of the screen that flips up and you can produce great images and zoom fairly far, all in a compact bundle. The camera is front heavy from the lens but I'm still able to fit it in my small purse so it's great for Traveling, not to mention that you can transfer the photos straight from the camera to any device you have which only compounds in the 'good for traveling and selfies' status this camera has. Definitely not as small as other point and shoots that don't have a detachable lens but the trade off is well worth it and it's still way smaller than a DSLR. Great purchase, highly recommend!! ... show more

I’m so happy with my camera!! It arrived fast and is exactly as described. I was worried because most sellers don’t ship to my location, but these guys did.

    • A great body with a less incredible kit lens
Color: Black Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
Let me just start by talking about my photography background. The height of my camera experience has been point and shoot cameras to this point.(along with playing with my fathers old 35mm when I was a child) When I first saw the NEX series at my local best buy I fell in love with the cameras. It wasn't until recently that I finally decided it was time for a new camera. I did quite a bit of research prior to my purchase and, at first, ordered the a6000. My girlfriend then convinced me that the "selfie" screen on the a5100 would come in handy, so I canceled my order on the a6000 and ordered the a5100. Overall I am pleased with the camera. The kit lens is the only reason that I am giving it 4 stars. First let me talk about the camera; The build quality is very good. The texturing on the body is helpful when holding the camera with one hand. Previous reviewers have stated that the grip was too small, but for my very average sized hands it does the job quite well. I like the customizable buttons. While it does take several hours getting the camera set up just the way you want it, it is well worth the time. The menus aren't the most intuitive, but they get the job done. I can't say enough about the sensor. Even to my untrained eye I can see that the images are of high quality. One tip that I have with the camera; if you plan to use the smartphone app as a remote shutter, be sure to change the settings while it is in app mode. It does not just take the settings that are currently applied. I took a group picture at work and in app mode my camera was set to auto all. I ended up with ISO 1000 shots which, while still usable, were not ideal. Now for the elephant in the room, the kit lens. To say that this lens is useless (like other reviewers) is going very far. The power zoom function makes it a very comfortable lens to someone like myself who is used to point and shoot cameras. An added benefit of this lens is if you were to hand the camera to someone else they would feel right at home. The downside to this lens is the negative affect that it has on image quality. There is almost a ridiculous amount of vignetting when set to 16mm wide open. Just about any aperture at 16mm produces extreme vignetting. The barrel distortion is noticeable throughout the range, but very bad at wider focal lengths. Previous reviewers have stated that hitting the "lens compensation" button in light room makes these errors negligible, but it isn't that simple. The extreme cropping that needs to be done to the image to get rid of the vignetting can remove your subject and the correction for barrel distortion can make your images flat. Along with this the image tends to lose a bit of sharpness. Overall I would recommend this camera with the kit lens to someone with less experience with photography who wants a camera with much better image quality than a point and shoot. (excluding the RX100 and the likes) I would highly recommend the body only of this camera (with say the 50mm f1.8) to someone who wants a fun camera that takes great photos but is not as bulky as a DSLR. ... show more

    • High quality, easy to use, great walking around camera.
Color: Black Style: Base Set: Base
We're now into price territory where these are about 50 bucks less than the a6000, and at first glance it doesn't seem like that's enough of a discount for a 'lower' model. But, with the same sensor and processing engine, and a touch screen, think of this as a point-n-shoot version of the a6000, and it's well worth it. The a6000 has no zoom lever, only God and Sony know why, and no touchscreen. The a6000 is a serious camera that asks you to know what you're doing in order to get the most out of it. That wouldn't hurt here, but this is much more point-n-shoot-y. I use the Sony 10-18mm zoom a lot, which doesn't always go long enough (c'mon Sony, make an affordable 12-24 or 14-28 zoom for APS-C sensor size cameras, please? please?), but being able to use the zoom lever to activate the digital zoom in the camera is a real advantage. The touchscreen allows you to focus where you touch and take the picture in one operation (focus where you touch and then use the shutter button is also an option). It isn't particularly fast, but it works if what you focus on is holding relatively still. So now I have an a6000 for when I'm serious, and this for a 'walking around' camera, both excellent cameras that excel in different ways. Got mine used from OneCall (via Amazon), and very happy with them too. ... 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

    • Takes Beautiful Photos
Color: White Style: w/ 16-50mm Set: Base
I absolutely love this camera. Granted, I have a lot to learn about taking photos outside of the auto mode, but you will be able to take great photos straight out of the box. It's fairly intuitive, I've figured out most functions just playing around with it. I have arthritis in my hands so I was concerned with getting a bulkier DSLR camera. This fits the bill, but is smaller and lighter. I use the strap around my neck just in case it would slip, but it's unlikely the way it's designed. I love the white color, a little different than your standard black camera. The battery lasts awhile, I took shots continuously at a recent concert with no problem. It comes with everything you need to start shooting and downloading into your computer is a breeze. The only drawback so far is for the life of me I can't figure out how to send photos directly to my iPhone. Still working on that, but other than that one issue this is a great entry level camera for folks like me. ... show more
