I love this camera. Such clear pictures from super up close & far, so many different settings. Can be used for portaits, regular shoots, content creating, documenting memories, a flip up screen for vlogging & selfies, & interchangeable lens. I can do it all with this camera. One down side I will say it has a very short battery life. While im recording I keep it plugged it because it will die & its not small & compact so i can carry it in a tiny purse.

(A few street photag pics I took recently included) The 6100 is a great camera for someone who enjoys photography and wants to take it to the next level. If you have an older camera and want to upgrade to something new. This is a great value! I own several cameras and use the 6100 often. I generally use this for travel and street photography. This camera goes on sale often here at bestbuy. Worth picking up during those times. Compact and travel friendly. Feature rich. Uses the sony E mount system (imo some of the best options out there currently) You can also buy an adapter to emount. And use virtually any manual lens on this camera. Things to keep in mind - this is not a full frame camera, although an apsc - you can still get a lot of amazing photos even for most paid gigs especially for social media. So if you are starting off, this is still a great option. In the future, you can still use this as a b-cam. Great for video (especially for social media/short clips) but not reccomended for long formate video. The 16-50 kit lens is decent, it covers a solid range. Its great if you have good lighting and still better than modern cell phones. Eventually you will want to add more lenses depending on your needs. Not an issie specifically with this camera. Just with digital photographyin general. But would recommend getting an extra battery or two. I own multiple battries for my cameras across many ecosystems. (Sony, leica, cannon, panasonic) So this is not a knock on the 6100. But itll come in handy if you are out all day taking photos and video. Of you are new to the current generation of mirrorless. With most modern cameras there will be a learning curve. I wouldnt say that the sony easier or harder to learn on. All camera systems take time to learn. I know people who prefer other systems. So id reccomend you visit a store and see these in person. Most BB will have this on display.

I bought this camera for my partner. She is happy with it. It has a good amount of features for dialing in good photos, is easy to use, very compact, great battery, and takes really good photos. Nice camera for the price, much better portability than the DSLR I bought her some time ago. Photos enlarge well, with good details and resolution. Much better than lugging around a DSLR with seemingly superior results.
