Sony A6100 review

Sony's best entry-level APS-C mirrorless camera yet

Superb tracking autofocus ; Solid battery life ; Most controls are easy to use ; Sony’s app works well ; Lots of features in a compact body

No IBIS for video ; Limited touchscreen functions ; Relatively low-spec LCD and EVF

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...

Sony A6100 review: Incredible autofocus performance for a budget camera

APS-C cameras are still important to Sony, and the A6100 is a big upgrade over the A6000. You now get a much improved autofocus system with intelligent face- and eye-tracking, along with 4K 30 fps video. Sony has also improved the color science and...

Best-in-class autofocus ; Sharp downsampled 4K video ; Accurate colors ; Good low light performance ; Flip-up display

Poor menu system ; Bad rolling shutter ; Low-resolution EVF

For its APS-C camera series, Sony has stuck with the "don't fix what ain't broke" mantra. I didn't think that was enough for the more expensive A6400 and A6600 cameras, given stiff competition from Fujifilm's X-T30 and X-T3, or Canon's M6 Mark II.

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

Excellent value ; Great in-camera JPEG quality ; Industry-leading autofocus ; Good 4K video ; Built-in EVF

Sony a6100 Review

Light and compact. ; Built-in EVF. ; Tilting touch LCD. ; Superlative autofocus. ; Loads of lens choices. ; Up to 11fps Raw capture. ; 4K video.

Not as well-built as the a6400. ; Low-resolution EVF. ; 4K video can show some wobble. ; Underwhelming battery life. ; Charging port isn't USB-C.

The Sony a6100 is a compact, speedy camera with strong image quality and excellent autofocus. Family photographers will love it, but enthusiasts may want to consider the a6400 instead.
