Selected User Reviews For Sony Alpha A6100 Mirrorless Camera

Even though Sony still has many software problems, their camera is still great
4/5

It's been just three days since I bought it, but there are a lot of things I like so far. The A6100 with the 16GB was the one I got I picked up the Sigma 30/f1 for some reason, and the 50 kit lens as well. The lens has four elements. I still have a lot to learn, but so far I am impressed by the number of options available to customize the software. My decision to use this model was based on a few factors Please note
I could fit it into my budget (barely) Autofocus system that works fantastically - A port for an external microphone is available. As the battery can be recharged within the camera, I am able to use external battery packs when required
This is a very manageable size - With the popularity of the Alpha line, there are a few guides and tutorials online about how to use this camera. So, why only 4 stars? As Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are both available. I have no doubt that the Imaging Edge Mobile app for the iPhone will frustrate you to no end. In terms of software and apps, Sony makes great hardware, but they fall flat when it comes to making them usable. Sony's failure to consider user experience when designing an app has been cited as an example of what a textbook looks like. The design clearly came from a hardware engineer, rather than a user experience designer. The app would actually function to the intent if it actually did so. Although the setup of WiFi for transferring photos is quite unclear and poorly documented, it does work at least. A Bluetooth connection is used to geo-locate The process of tagging photos (using my iPhone XR as the source of location data) is a disaster. Once I have paired the camera to my phone, it works fine for a while, but the next time I use the camera, the app loses the Bluetooth connection and will not reconnect. No matter what settings I adjust in the app or camera, nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do is uninstall the app and reinstall it You have to install the app anew and set it up all over again. The next step is to figure out what sort of geolocation tool I should use As a result of Sony Imaging Edge Mobile failing to tag my photos, I have to use a third-party service to do so. Because of this, the very first review of the a6100 on Amazon can be seen as a bit negative. Based on my personal opinion, I give this a five A star-shaped camera with a 1-inch sensor You can download the app in the Apple Store. The location must be geo-referenced When tagging and mobile apps are not of importance to you, then this camera will be the right choice for you. In any case, if you wish to geo-target It is not possible to tag your photos, you need to find an alternative.

Here is the upgrade you need for your A6000
5/5

This is an upgrade from my old a6000, and I have no words to describe how much different the UX and quality are from my older camera. The camera is almost perfect (the only downside the camera and the 8

The number of accessories is too high
3/5

You can take good photos with that camera, but you only have a limited amount of uses before you have to spend more money. It is an unwritten rule that NOTHING is standard. There is nothing. I might think you can plug in a basic standard microphone, but it will take a USB power cable, not a Sony! 4 do not record at all, 3 do not work, and 1 records mono sound only on 1 ear. A tripod with standard thread would have been fine, but I would have had to get A flashcard from another camera was not able to be moved. Nope, spent two hours trying to format the card until it was accepted by the camera. A poor selection of specifications is offered. Multi-input means having multiple inputs. What does it To understand this, it means you can spend hours browsing Sony's web page, making phone calls, and buying specialized items that may or may not Keep away, I'm returning the book.

This is a horrendous EVF for the A6100
5/5

It is complete garbage to have an electronic viewfinder. Look elsewhere if you intend to use it to save batteries or compose shots, and do not buy this if you intend to look at the larger screen constantly. The Cannon M6 Mark II, Sony A6400, or Fujifilm XT-42 would all be better options. The differences in price between models 30 and 30 are very small and all feature better viewfinders. A new auto-pilot system was introduced in 2012 I recommend this camera if you plan to use the kit lens casually. The focus is phenomenal, and the price is very fair. The auto-random number generator, however, My experience with most modern cameras is that the focus is very good as well, so I rarely have any complaints. It's no surprise that Sony has committed more of itself to their full frame offerings than they have to their APS-C I have formatted in C. Although Sigma and others have tried to fill in the gaps in Sony's lens lineup, you have to ask yourself if this company doesn't have a complete line up of lenses for full-frame cameras as well. If you're an APS-patient, how do you treat them Is there a firmware update, software update, or camera body available for C cameras? There is no doubt that full frames are their priority. As the camera body is meant to be updated as technology advances, keep in mind that you are buying into a system of lenses. In the event that you own ten Sony lenses, you'll be naturally inclined to stay with the brand. Do yourself a favor and ensure that the company you settle on has a long history The color science in Sony's JPEGs are actually superior to mine, and I got this as a gift from a well-meaning relative. Ultimately, I will not be keeping the EVF because I am not comfortable living like that. It is wise to look at what you intend to use the camera for and then to do your homework to determine which system meets that need. I mostly shoot still images and image quality is my number one In light of this, I will go over to Fuji because I believe the XT-70 has a better sensor I believe the 30 will meet my needs better with a huge line of high quality affordable lenses, as well as the new XF18-35 There is no more suitable kit lens for digital cameras than the 55mm. This may be a good deal if you are mostly a video shooter and are okay with the limitations of the A6100's viewfinder. You can upgrade to the A6400 if you plan to stay with Sony for a small price increase, and you'll get a metal body, a better EVF, and a few other benefits. The camera is good in spite of all of this. You don't have to do much to get great shots out of this camera. You will need to adapt to the menus at first, but once you do it's not too difficult. Taking pictures in low light is ok with minimal artifacts and noise. At the time of this review, the price of the camera is about $750, which means it is not trying to compete with other cameras that I have listed Among its direct competitors are the Fuji X-T1 and X-E1 For a price sensitive buyer this is a great buy and easily 5 stars. Because of the viewfinder it offers the same as Canon m200 and A7, but it makes no sense to dock it a star for the viewfinder. If you have a little more cash and want to consider the Sony A6400 or A6600 as your next camera, they would be the better value.

The profile has no picture
3/5

It is even the neutral profile. You do not need this camera to make videos and upload them to YouTube. I gave Sony A6100 3 stars since it does not come with any picture profile, not even Neutral picture profile. My old Sony A6000 had Neutral profile. I'm not sure why Sony eliminated There should be a Firmware update for this option from Sony. In general, the Sony A6100 is a great camera for recording videos in 4K and 1080p. Sony, please let us know when the pictures profile will be available.
