BOXINGUPDATEZ depends on your budget but I'm the same and choosing this a5100 over a GoPro hero 6 black, I would say get the a5100 due to the viewfinder flip screen, flip screens are much better for action and video recording, good camera overall and yes it does overheat after 30 minutes of straight recording but you can go back to filming immediately after turning it off for 30 seconds to 1 minute, great camera for an amazing price, has most the specs all these new cameras have but it has a flip screen which the new a6300 does not and although the a5100 does not have 4k recording which is somewhat disappointing but 1080p on it looks amazing and close enough to 4k that unless someone really inspects it than it'll look like 4k. Overall a5100 is better to me atleast
Hi i want to ask Is it worth to buy in 2020 over canon g7x mark ii? I want better images and video quality. And other cameras in this price bracket do not offer good auto focus, so what is view on this?
definitely, the A5100 does better in lowlight, has better battery life, a significantly larger sensor (APS-C vs 1-inch), 148 more focus points, double the max shutter speed, and to top it all off, the a5100 is an interchangeable lens camera, so you can actually upgrade the glass later on, unlike the canon. It isn't much of a comparison really.
The editing software was Magix Movie Edit Pro Minimum requirements for AVCHD/HD editing: Intel Core 2 quad processor with 2.83 GHz (Intel Core i7 recommended), 4 GB RAM, DirectX 9.0c-compatible graphics card, min. 512 MB graphics card RAM and Pixelshader 2.0, ATI X300 and up, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and up, Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Discs.
i did buy it early 2018, got mine with the kit lens so i could use it right away, i got a 50mm 1.4 vintage lens for it for photo, and love it so much
