Best Camera that I ever owned.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony Alpha a5100 Mirrorless camera is the best camera I have ever used. I sold my old camera and several lenses and replaced it with this great camera. My pictures are better then ever and the small size works great travel.

Beginner camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera to take pictures of my newborn daughter. I wanted something that would take amazing pictures but at the same time easy to use and this is perfect. I’m rating 4 stars because this camera is very fragile, easily gets scrapes from normal use.

Sony a5100

Great Camera - Excellent Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this camera for live streaming on YouTube and this is an excellent choice for the money and improved my picture/stream quality immediately. Camera has a ton of features, comprehensive menu system and works well with manual and auto settings. Battery life is excellent. Camera has a good look and solid feel. You will need to read the manual and have patience when setting up or going to manual settings. Only thing I found was the manual white balance setting was a little limited but in no way a deal breaker or reason not to buy. If you can find this camera buy it you will not regret it!
