Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Picture qualityI had the Sony 6000 and loved it. I do a lot of hiking and take it on all my walks. It is lightweight and takes great photos. You can easily send the photos to your phone. I updated to the 6100 due to an unfortunate accident while hiking. I took quite a fall and the camera stopped working properly. I am. Very happy with the updated 6100

Q: QuestionIs there any limit on video shooting time?
Asked by jmshuang.
- A:Answer The (legally constrained?) 30 minute limit which was on older Sonys is gone, as far as I know. As I understand, the only limits are your memory card’s capacity, the battery life, and the (improved) thermal constraints of the processor. My a5100 would overheat while recording video and shut down. I learned to turn off OSS while on a tripod and lift the screen to allow heat dissipation. I will be following this same procedure for similar situations. I haven’t used my a6100 in that situation yet, but so far it has not felt any warmer than my hand during video recording with OSS on.

Q: QuestionThis might be a dumb question, but I am new to buying cameras and I have no idea what I'm doing. Will I be able to use this camera for recording without a lens? With just this camera body?
Asked by Araceli.
- A:Answer Hi Araceli, for a model with (Body Only), you will always need a lens for the camera to function completely. If you are looking for camera that has lenses built in we recommend our Sony Cyber-shot line.
