||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony A5100 to replace my broke A5000. The Sony Alpha cameras are all super. I love the touch screen focus on the A5100, as well as the higher resolution. I have take thousands of pictures with it, all nearly perfect. So much better than a cell phone!

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely LOVE this camera. It's great for taking daily pics as well as pictures on vacations. It's super easy to use but also has a ton of different setting as well. It also has an option to upload the pictures directly to my phone, so worth the money.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t really got a chance to completely play around with my camera as of yet; but so far so good. Due to the fact that this is my very first camera I was expecting it to be complicated. After watching a couple of videos on YouTube I was ready to go.

Posted .Hi, Rissa!
We are happy to hear that. You may also check the manuals for your camera to know more about its settings and other features: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-5000-series/ilce-5100l/manuals. Thank you for trusting Sony!

I loved it but exchanged, here is why...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera was EVERYTHING! Unfortunately i had to switch out to the canon g7x mark ii because of the results i had after my research. I mainly needed a camera for video purposes and not pictures. Even though Sony a5100 was epic it didn't give me a lot of option to customize the look of my videos. One days i plan on owning both :(

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our daughter had been looking for a mirror less camera & found this one. We surprised her & bought it for her birthday. It’s a great camera with so many features. We especially really like the WiFi capability. It makes it so easy to share pics with friends & family right away.
