For beginners or those with designs on more advanced photography, the A5100 is a great option.Sony's A7-series mirrorless cameras have been earning plaudits for their pro-quality video and full-frame sensors, but the low end of Sony's mirrorless lineup is...

Small yet sensible size, good picture quality overall, point-and-shoot simplicity, 180-degree tilt-angle screen for selfies
Excess menu digging, no mode dials or standard function buttons, low-light autofocus can't be pinpointed, distortion and excessive JPEG processing qualms
The Sony A5100 won't appeal to all as it's sometimes fussy to use given its lack of control dials. If that's what you're after then look to the Sony A6000 which caters for such needs, along with the addition of a viewfinder and hotshoe which the A51...
Mid-price cameras are often simply a blend of features from other models, possessing no technical innovation of their own. That's certainly the case here but we're not convinced that Sony has struck the best balance. We found the A5000's controls a little...

Tiny and lightweight, Great photo and video quality, Lightning-fast autofocus
No electronic viewfinder, Screen a tad small for touch

The Alpha 5100 is a great little camera that's consistent, easy to use and delivers fantastic picture quality for stills and video. It doesn't really have any deal-breaking flaws, and it deserves each of its four stars. That said, we can't recommend it fo...
Superb resolution and autofocus speed, Lightweight, but tough with a compact body, Advanced video filming capabilities
Only six frames per second continuous shooting, Touchscreen limited to taking pictures only, No input for external microphone
Given that this camera shares many of its core components with the Alpha 6000, I expected it to deliver the same superb image quality and it did not disappoint, ticking that box emphatically but at a more affordable price point.Sonys E-mount system now h...
Small size, Compatible with PlayMemories apps to expand featureset, Tilting screen
No viewfinder, Limited touch, control, No mode dial
My first impressions of the Sony Alpha 5100 are very good, but I want to use a full production sample in anger before I pass judgement on its handling now that the control dial that was on the top of the NEX-5T has gone. However, it seems straightforward...
