Sony A6100: the best entry-level all-rounder

Why has the A6000 been so popular In many ways, it's been like a Moto G7 of the camera world – an all-rounder that hits a sweet spot of size, price and performance that makes it the default ‘other' choice for those who can't stretch to a full-frame camera, but want something more than a...

Sony a6100 review: Should this be your next family camera?

The a6100 is an entry-level mirrorless camera built around one of the best autofocus systems we've encountered (as of late 2019). With a couple of settings changes it can be one of the most powerful point-and-shoot cameras available, capable of taking good photos in a wide range of situations.

Sony A6100 review: A great camera under $1,000

As much as we love getting our hands on expensive cameras with the largest sensors and massive amounts of megapixels, entry-level models usually deliver the imaging goods most of us need — without tapping out our credit lines. The $750 (body only) Sony A6100 is a good example of this kind of affordability. Armed with the same 24-megapixel APS-C sensor and advanced Real-Time autofocus capabilities as the $1,400 Sony A6600, it seems like an obvious choice. While the A6100 does make some trade-offs to hit that lower price, most beginner to advanced amateur photographers will be just fine with them. Cutting-edge design isn’t an integral part of Sony’s A6000 series. This is a black brick that looks and feels like every other model in the line-up other than the new A6600, which has a deeper grip and more potent battery. Familiarity doesn’t breed contempt as the A6100 is quite functional other than Sony’s usual idiosyncrasies, but it’s certainly not as pretty as the Fujifilm X-T30. The camera...

Sony a6100 review

As a potential first mirrorless camera, it’s difficult to fault the a6100. Sure, features like S-Log and in-body stabilisation would be nice, and it’s not waterproof or particularly tough – but these are things that you can always move onto once you’ve developed your camera skills and needs (and saved up a bit more cash for mid-range and premium camera bodies). With its lightweight and compact build, superb autofocus system, fast shooting speed and more than acceptable video performance, the a6100 is a highly impressive entry-level model that will serve enthusiastic amateurs faithfully.

The Sony Alpha A6100 is the long-awaited update to the Sony Alpha A6000 , and as such is Sony's new entry-level mirrorless camera. With a price tag of around £800, Sony has added 4K video recording, and what they're claiming is the fastest AF system available.

Sony A6100 review

If you're looking for a small, beginner-friendly camera for both stills and video, then the A6100 is one of the best around. Its main strengths are its image quality, battery life and class-leading autofocus. The fact that it inherits many features from Sony's significantly more expensive APS-C cameras means it's can also grow with you. The only real downsides are some handling quirks and a comparatively lackluster buffer when shooting continuously, but it's otherwise a fantastic buy once you've spent some time setting it up for your tastes.
