This is a compact mirrorless camera that offers pro-quality results without the expense or size of top-end models. The 24.2MP APS-C sensor takes sharp, color-filled photos with excellent detail, even in low light.
What truly sets it apart is Sony’s Real-Time Eye AF and subject tracking. Incredibly fast and accurate, making it almost impossible to miss focus whether you’re capturing portraits, pets, or action shots.
For content creators, the a6100 shoots 4K video using the full readout of all pixels, which gives razor-sharp, sharp videos. The colors look natural, and the flip-up touchscreen screen makes it perfect for vlogging or self-portraiture. While it lacks in-body stabilization, using it with a stabilized lens mitigates to a large degree that deficiency.
The compact, travel-friendly design is matched with intuitive controls and good battery life. There's integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for speedy and effortless sharing of photos. A mic jack is a lovely addition to content creators, while the absence of a headphone jack and IBIS might be a negative to some.
Overall, the Sony Alpha 6100 is a great all-rounder, ideal for beginners wanting to move up from smartphone cameras or enthusiasts wanting a good general-purpose camera. It's fast, intelligent, and consistently takes outstanding photos.

I got this camera for its recording aspect, the video quality and options are great on this camera. It has very smooth auto focus and noise free. The options in the camera can get a little complicated or hard to understand if you take a deep dive into the camera, but the basics are easy to learn.

I think that this is one of the most versatile Sony cameras for under 900$. The video quality that it provides is outstanding. The only regret I have is not buying a lens to go with it! The 55mm lens works perfect, but I am learning more about the distances it can go

Great camera, extremely clear and concise pictures and ease of use. It can be carried in a small enough handbag to enter events as well as be expanded to take more in depth photos with larger lenses.
The auto settings assist makes taking pictures a breeze and makes me look like a professional
