    Good focus. Great battery life. Versatile. Currently searching for a larger zoom lens like the 70-350mm. Used it for wildlife and landscape so far and the shots have come out nice.

    The Sony \alpha6100 is the "sweet spot" camera. It skips the expensive weather-sealing of its bigger brothers but keeps the elite autofocus and image quality that actually matter for 90% of photographers.

    I'm new to photography and I have endless amounts to learn. This camera has been perfect so far. I can take great photos out of the box, and I have a ton of room room to grow with it. I have spoken to experienced photographers and they still use the Alpha series.

    I’ve loved this camera so far! It’s super customizable and lightweight. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but a YouTube video was all I needed to get comfortable. It’s a great beginner camera it seems with plenty of room for higher end capability with some mastery.

    I really wanted to like these, but unfortunately they got way too hot during use. After using them for a while, the heat became uncomfortable, and I constantly felt like they needed to vent or cool down. Because of the overheating, I ended up returning them.
