This is a great, valuable, Mirrorless Lens Camera! I had just done a lot of research about mirrorless vs DSLR cameras, and they are all the rage for photographers these days. Sony cameras take the cake when it comes to value, quality, and technical finesse.
The Sony Alpha 6100 mirrorless camera was a great choice in between the cheaper 6000 and below models, and cheaper, but just as nice quality as the Sony 6400. The main difference between the two is the plastic-body camera vs the 6400's metal. And that there are some file/color profiles that the 6100 doesn't offer. I don't mind this, and it still feels heavy and is very durable. Nice color profile in photographs, as usual. It also shoots video in 4k which is fantastic!!! It has an auto focus that tracks motion (like hands, faces, animals, etc.), so you aren't stuck with blurry footage if you're making videos with some movement.
All around super happy with the purchase, the only thing they could have done to make it better was include a tie for the lens cap so that you don't misplace it. Other than that it's wonderful and you can change out any Sony lens practically, because most of them use an E-mount. Super awesome brand and camera for a decent budget.

If you are looking into getting into photography or video, this is a great camera that offers some of the best of both worlds. With its 120fps capabilities at 1080p, it’s great for slo mo. It’s capable of shooting in 4k at 30fps too! With sony’s great color science, this camera is great for anyone. And at the price point? Almost unbeatable!

I was looking for a camera that would be user friendly. Could take pics of fireworks. For the price I felt it should have had a bundle package. I had been looking for similar cameras that had more available. But felt camera wise this was a good choice. An extra lens would be a + and I would have given a 5 in value.

I was hesitant between spending the extra money for the 6100 vs the 6000 but I’m glad I did. It has quick and effortless guides to different modes. Takes stunning pictures and is easily learned. I’m starting to build a photography portfolio after using a canon and I couldn’t be happier with this product.
