  • General
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: ILCE6100KB
    • Product Name: Alpha 6100 APS-C Mirrorless Camera 4K Video Camera with E PZ 16-50mm Lens
    • Color: Black
    • Product Set: Camera with E PZ 16-50mm lens
    • Camera Model Family: Sony a6100
    • Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
    • Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Digital Zoom: 8x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • In-Camera Image Stabilization: false (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: Still images:1/4000 to 30 sec, Bulb, Movies: 1/4000 to 1/4 (1/3 steps), up to 1/60 in AUTO mode (up to 1/30 in Auto slow shutter mode) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Minimum Aperture: f/36 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
    • Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
    • Maximum ISO: 32000 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
    • Maximum Expandable ISO: 51200 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Burst Rate: 11 frames per second
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: Single Shooting, Continuous shooting (Hi+/Hi/Mid/Lo selectable), Self-timer, Self-timer (Cont.), Bracket: Single, Bracket: Cont., White Balance bracket, DRO bracket (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Portrait, Sports Action, Macro, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Hand-Held Twilight, Night Portrait, Anti Motion Blur (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent (Warm White, Cool White, Day White, Daylight), Flash, Underwater, Color Temperature (2500 to 9900K) & color filter (G7 to M7 (57-step), A7 to B7 (29-step)), Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
    • Lens Series: Sony E (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
    • Lens Model Number: SELP16502
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Fill-in, High-speed sync, Rear curtain sync, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: TFT-LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 921,600 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Viewfinder Magnification: 1.07 times (The measurement of the apparent size of the image in the viewfinder compared to how it would be seen with the naked eye.)
    • Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)

    A best buy for beginners!

    This is a compact mirrorless camera that offers pro-quality results without the expense or size of top-end models. The 24.2MP APS-C sensor takes sharp, color-filled photos with excellent detail, even in low light. What truly sets it apart is Sony’s Real-Time Eye AF and subject tracking. Incredibly fast and accurate, making it almost impossible to miss focus whether you’re capturing portraits, pets, or action shots. For content creators, the a6100 shoots 4K video using the full readout of all pixels, which gives razor-sharp, sharp videos. The colors look natural, and the flip-up touchscreen screen makes it perfect for vlogging or self-portraiture. While it lacks in-body stabilization, using it with a stabilized lens mitigates to a large degree that deficiency. The compact, travel-friendly design is matched with intuitive controls and good battery life. There's integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for speedy and effortless sharing of photos. A mic jack is a lovely addition to content creators, while the absence of a headphone jack and IBIS might be a negative to some. Overall, the Sony Alpha 6100 is a great all-rounder, ideal for beginners wanting to move up from smartphone cameras or enthusiasts wanting a good general-purpose camera. It's fast, intelligent, and consistently takes outstanding photos.

    Great camera, would buy again

    I absolutely love my a6100. As someone who’s not too familiar with cameras or photography in general this camera has been an absolute breeze to use! I bought it because I was going to Disneyland and really did not want iPhone quality pictures, but instead something that’s really made to tackle major events such as a family trip to Disney! It was amazing, with or without flash, my photos came out magnificent. It doesn’t take an Einstein to use nor change any of the settings! (Especially since there are so many videos and sites about the best setting to use for what). Genuinely the only thing that hindered this camera from getting 5 stars is the size, I’m a mini purse kind of lady so it’s just a tad bit too large for the size purses I tend to carry :( But it’s not heavy at all! So the neck / shoulder strap is super convenient. The charge lasted me all day at Disney (I did turn it off when not using but nonetheless) and it recharges fairly quickly. I would 100% recommend this camera to any beginner/intermediate. Everytime someone sees my pics from Disney/graduation they ask me what camera I used! Love love love this camera.

    Excellent Camera for Photos and 4K Video

    I’ve been extremely happy with the Sony Alpha 6100. The autofocus is incredibly fast and reliable, making it easy to capture sharp photos and smooth video. Image quality is outstanding, even in lower light, and the colors look natural and vibrant. The compact size makes it easy to carry everywhere, while the 16-50mm lens is versatile enough for everyday photography and video. As someone who creates content, I especially appreciate the flip-up screen, 4K video quality, and how simple it is to transfer photos to my phone. Overall, this camera delivers excellent performance for the price and has exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality mirrorless camera, whether you’re a beginner or looking to step up your content creation.

    LOVE THIS CAM!!!

    This is such a good camera!! It is a little on the bigger side but I can still fit it in a purse. I did not have to change any of the settings and with that alone the colors on the camera look so vibrant. All close up selfies make your skin look airbrushed. Battery is amazing as well, took it on a week long trip to cancun only had to charge it once.
