The Sony a6100 is a 24MP APS-C mirrorless camera, aimed squarely at beginners and people who desire attractive photos but don't necessarily remember of themselves as photographers. A new, powerful autofocus organization makes it i of the easiest cameras to use, if you lot just trust it to practise its matter and concentrate instead on what you're shooting.

The a6100's specifications aren't cutting edge, and it'due south priced accordingly. Only that simple, effective autofocus system means it makes it easy to get the photos you want, and hence, arguably, it's better value than those less expensive rivals. On paper information technology looks a lot like the bargain-basement a6000 but in use this is a vastly amend camera.

Our primary doubts virtually the camera come if you lot want to go more involved in the photographic process.

Key features:

  • 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor
  • Avant-garde AF system with highlight undecayed subject tracking
  • 1.44M dot OLED electronic viewfinder
  • 0.9M dot LCD tilting rear touchscreen
  • Wi-Fi for prototype transfer to smart devices (with NFC for quick connection)
  • 4K video capture
  • USB charging

The Sony a6100 has a list price of $750, a $50 premium over the launch price of the original a6000, which suggests it may take a similar depression-cost position in the lineup, long term. Information technology has a list toll of $850 with the small but uninspiring 16-50mm F3.5-v.6 power zoom. A 2-lens kit adds a 55-210mm zoom for an additional $250.

The a6100 has probably the almost powerful, easy-to-utilize autofocus systems on the market place. Just there are a few as well many inconveniences, we feel.
