Has great autofocus, but also it is touch focus -- that disappeared from 6xxx cameras until the a6400 as I recall. I shoot all my RUclips stuff in 1080p with a few of these. My avg cost of them was under 250usd 2nd hand. Cheers.
Hi bro, I went to Saneal and they dont sell this anymore. On some online store, a used A5100 will probably be around $400-500 with kit lens. So body only might be even less.
No in-body stabilization. Yeah, it relies on the Sony lens with OSS. I guess I should have added that to the CONS. Although if Im not shaking a lot, stabilization is somehow okay. 😊👍
for vlogging I would go for m200 it has 4k, for photo, I might go with a5100 because of tons of lenses available then if youre ready to move up to other sony camera body, you have built an ecosystem of sony lenses.
@@GadgetRevNow the offer i found was the camera with the 16-50mm kit les for 150 usd. Do you think its a good deal or should i save up for another camera or an iphone 13 /14?
Hmmm... iPhone 13/14 is very different. This will offer cinematic kind of videos, although iPhone does that artificially. The only challenge with this is the microphone, there's no external mic while iPhone does (with dongle). Still with $150 (with kit lens) you cant beat that.
Yes I think it is a good deal. I got both of mine used for about that price a few years ago. 24mp APSc sensor is awesome. Love the flip screen also. I personally am not a fan of 4k video, I have several M43 cameras that can shoot 4k, I just don't. Files are too large, don't have editing SW, those cameras have record limits. Only thing to be aware of with the A5100, is possible over heating during video recording but has never happened to me. I mainly shoot stills with all of my cameras. @@jezur0
PLEASE HELP! I'm torn between a5100 with 8k shutter count and almost brand new condition vs a6000 with 41k shutter count with issue of stiff mode dial and have signs of use. The price is about the same. But which one should i choose? Please help me. I hope someone would chime in. Thanks in advance. 😊
I can chime in. If you are doing selfies, A5100 is better. Now, if you will do professional shoot and need a hotshoe and eyepiece, the A6000. That A5100 was excellent at 8K though. But A6000 is great too!
@@GadgetRevNow thank you sir. I love the feel of a6000 and it is very easy to use. The only thing that is holding back is its shutter count. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and also your video is a great help.
They have the same autofocus point I think and even this RUclipsr with "frost" on his name, I can't recall, is using A5100 to test Sony lenses on his channel so you know its trusted a lot. Go for the cheaper body since they will provide the same result and use the money to purchase better lenses (primes).
@@GadgetRevNow i think its Christopher frost, if i recall it correctly. I'll check his channel again. Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.
I’ve had this camera since 2016! I use all kinds of lenses on it! Perfect lifestyle camera

Yup, the touch focus too! Great addition to its features!
Thank you so much for listing both pros and cons!
You're welcome Louera!
Hi, that’s a very informative video. Would you recommend any particular tripod?
Thanks
Youre welcome!
Would you say this camera is worth the money for photography for around 150 dollars with kit lens or should I stay using my iPhone 13 Pro Max?
For video or image? You need to upgrade the kit lens to get better images.
Actually got mine recently when one of my subscribers gifted me one👍
Sony a5100 and Lumix Gf7 which one you prefer
Pretty sure there is no image stabilization with your setup there. Yes, it’s compact and fits in your pocket, but the 20mm lens has no stabilization.
For the 16mm? Just the OSS built in.
How much can you get it for??
New and used pricing??
AND, what price is it worth it at?
Hi bro, I went to Saneal and they dont sell this anymore. On some online store, a used A5100 will probably be around $400-500 with kit lens. So body only might be even less.
@@GadgetRevNow oh ok thanks. In some of the shots the video was shaking alot though so I'm not sure how good the stabilization is...what do you think
@@GadgetRevNow 5:04 stabilization
No in-body stabilization. Yeah, it relies on the Sony lens with OSS. I guess I should have added that to the CONS. Although if Im not shaking a lot, stabilization is somehow okay. 😊👍
@@GadgetRevNow what equipment fo you use when you record selfie videos from phones during the comparison??
would you pick this or the canon m200
for vlogging I would go for m200 it has 4k, for photo, I might go with a5100 because of tons of lenses available then if youre ready to move up to other sony camera body, you have built an ecosystem of sony lenses.
You didn't talk about the stability. This camera doesn't have inbuilt stabilization. It's too shaking on hands especially for videos
Hello, can I have your insights because I am trying to buy a camera and I am torn between Fujifilm Xa5 and Sony A5100. Thank you! :)
I th8nk Xa5 has audio jack for vlogging, while A5100 has a good and healthy lens ecosystem to choose from.
@@GadgetRevNow thank you for the prompt reply! How about the photo and video quality?
For 150€ is the price is right?? I saw in marketplace
with kit lens? yeah, thats pretty good deal.
Hello po, mas ok po ba lumipat ako sa Sony a5100 or mag stay ako sa Canon M3?
mabilis yung AF ng a5100, same as A6000.
Hey, would you recommend this camera for beauty content ?
hmmm... maybe go for Sony ZV1 or ZV1F.
Do you recommend the quality of this over an iPhone 13 Pro ? Is finding it for 150 usd good deal?
With the right lens bro, lets says a prime lens, the bokeh of this camera will be better than iPhone 13 Pro.

@@GadgetRevNow thank you so much , I might jump and get it knowing it might last for another year or two
@John Foley i found it for 100, a friend sold it to me but it has a slight flash problem that it doesn’t work, but i took it
Just bout one..like ten minutes ago
nice! enjoy!
So which camera that covers all the bads of this one but has its goods?
ZV-E10 can be a cheaper prospect, A6600 covers all even the stabilization. Both are a little pricey though.
@@GadgetRevNow great! Thank youuu
You're welcome. are you buying it for content creation?
Hi i love your channel! What is your ultimate pick for vlogging youtube/ig between canon g7x mark iii - sony zv-1 - sony zve10 or sony a6400🤔
@@GadgetRevNow slr. Yes.
Nice review, i have 2, they are awesome.
So for 200€ its still good buy or can i found something symetric but 4k
