    I love this camera, its my second time buying it. I returned the A6000 because it doesn't have the selfie camera as the a5100. It folds half way but won't let it come up for a selfie. Its actually weird and a fail on the behalf of Sony as this is supposed to be an upgrade but remove its best feature. I love my a5100 and will recommend to anyone skilled or novice.

      The 180° tilt screen on the A5100 is very useful. We're glad to hear that you are loving the a5100. Thank you for the review! Sony_US
