Customer Ratings & Reviews

After spending some time with the Sony Alpha 6100, I can honestly say it’s one of those cameras that exceeds expectations, especially if you’re upgrading from a smartphone or an entry-level camera. Right out of the box, I was impressed by how lightweight and compact it is, without feeling cheap. One of the first things that stood out was the autofocus speed—it’s insanely fast. The Eye Autofocus is amazing. It locks onto human (and even animal) eyes with great accuracy and keeps tracking them flawlessly, which is a game changer for portraits or any kind of moving subject. Image quality is excellent. The colors are vibrant, the details are sharp, and the background blur (bokeh) looks really good. Even in low-light settings, it holds up nicely. Sure, it’s not a full-frame camera, but for most real-world situations, it delivers professional-level results. When it comes to video, I was also really happy with the performance. It shoots 4K video with crisp quality and no crop, which is ideal for YouTube or social media content. The flip-up screen is perfect for vlogging or filming yourself, though I do wish it had in-body stabilization—you’ll feel the shakes if you’re shooting handheld without a stabilized lens. The only downsides for me are the lack of weather sealing and a slightly basic electronic viewfinder. But at this price point, it’s hard to complain. If you’re looking for a versatile, easy-to-carry camera that delivers high-quality photos and video without breaking the bank, the Sony Alpha 6100 is a fantastic choice. It’s great for content creators, intermediate photographers, or anyone ready to step up their game.

A phenomenal camera very easy to use for beginners, and great if you like to have freedom to mess with settings it is very easy to do so. The E mount is phenomenal changing out lenses is super easy. The camera is light but very high qut

Bought this for as a gift for my wife who wanted to move beyond iPhone photography and get great action shots of our kids, dog, and life in general. The kit lenses are ok, nothing to be amazed at...and once she gets better I am sure she will be putting on new glass. Pro: Light weight, easy to use, takes great images. Con: Smartphone app/connection not reliable

I bought this camera as a first camera for more serious landscape photography than I'd be able to do on my iPhone 11 Pro. I was concerned that the differences between the two would not be that noticeable, and I was very wrong. Aside from the excellent picture quality, the camera modes are easy to navigate, the autofocus is legendary at this point, and the added range of the telephoto lens means I can get tight shots of mountain peaks and practice effects like lens compression. At the same time, my wife can use the camera in auto mode and still get fantastic shots without putting in the extra work. I highly recommend this as a good camera to start with if you want to get more serious about photography (and you've done your research on whether or not the difference between this and a smartphone camera would be worth it to you.)

Great for my trip to Alaska to see The Aurora Borealis and Denali National Park! The photos I captured were absolutely breathtaking and stunning. I love this camera.

New to photography but this camera is awesome. Easy to carry, good image quality, wonderful for its price.

I am absolutely thrilled with my camera! The quality of picture and ease-of-use makes this camera perfect for a family setting. The fact you can connect to a phone easily is another great feature that allows you to use a remote quickly and easily. I had some different issues with some of the apps but I was able to find one that worked well for me. The quality of picture is breathtaking! And being able to change all of the features like you can with any other SLR make this worthwhile. I would recommend considering buying a wide angle lens with the purchase immediately I would also recommend getting a flash as well. The internal flash is good but an external flash would be better.

I started to vlog and create content and this camera has it all !!! I love all the capabilites of it. Easy to understand and use. Its quality is second to none and i am looking forward to growing with this camera in my possession.

You cannot go wrong with Sony’s A6xxx line of cameras. For years I have coached my sons in baseball, soccer, and basketball. Don’t give me the “Daddy Ball” eye rolls. I am actually an experienced and licensed coach in soccer and basketball. After 10 + years of coaching, I’m back on the other side of the field/courts with the parents. A seemingly good time to get back into my photography hobby. I tried to go down to a Point n Shoot Sony CyberShot RX100 III, and while it is a great camera in its segment, I needed the flexibility of changing lenses. A Point n Shoot wasn’t going to get be a clear, high speed shot all the way across the field or on the other side of the court. My nephew is a professional photographer and videographer and he has all kinds of fancy equipment, but when he wants to keep it simple, but high quality, he carries a Sony A6300. It’s a great system with a lot of flexibility and after years on the market; that camera still goes for $1,300 with just one kit lens. This kit ran me a bit less than that, but it still has all of the things that make the A6300 great. Additionally, being a newer model, it also offers a few newer features that the A6300 may not have. All in all, I’ve been EXTREMELY pleased and would recommend this system to anyone. It’s well worth every penny. Enjoy!

I’m a content creator and I got this to use as a webcam and for doing product reviews. The 4k 30fps video quality is really good. The kit lenses provide everything you’ll need to get started. The Sony Image Edge software is easy to use. The focus is really fast, so if you’re trying to take photos of your kids or faster moving animals or trees, blowing in the wind, without getting blurry photos, it’s great for that. The flip up screen comes in handy when trying to take videos of yourself and take selfies. The menu system could be better, but after spending about 15 minutes messing with it, you should be able to figure it out. Highly recommended!

Perfect size for capturing special moments light weight. Only downside is the app. It sucks but camera is dope

Great Camera went from beginner to Pro Fast with all the amazing and easy to use features photos sync to phone makes it much way better had it for over two years now great product

Solid offering from Sony if you're looking for the features of a DSLR and the size of a point-and-shoot. While the a6000's age is beginning to show, for a slight price bump, you can get 4K video in this great 6100 with the same kit lenses and Sony reliability. Well worth the price and one of the best mirrorless cameras in an increasingly-crowded field of competitors.

Love this camera, such high quality pictures and the perfect size !

Hands down best budget set up for the photo enthusiast. Enough pixels to punch in closer in post. Great images!!!!! The kit lenses with this kit really give you range. Not to much distortion or vignetting. Knocked a star off for video capabilities. Takes clean crisp video, but the lack of stabilization makes hand held filming difficult. Definitely a must for photos and gimbal or tripod videos.

Love the camera love the pictures nice quality size is great wish battery had charer not have to charge in the camera

This camera has been a great choice for me. Fits the budget and has all the features for me to grow and learn this new hobby of mine. My goal is to record my kids softball games. I set my lens to record at about 25mm and this has worked perfectly for me to edit great quality video later. I tried the latest GoPro with the addd lens options and a traditional 4k camcorder, the Sony A6100 has by far been the most satisfying.

The camera is excellent with great quality! Easy to use!

Love this camera, still learning but I think it’s great for my first camera. I I love the ability to take still photos as well as videos! Great product! Easy to use

Very nice camera alot of options easy to use and great picture quality
