Our take
Sony A6100 review: the cheapest way into Sony’s APS-C system
The same class-leading autofocus and 24MP sensor as pricier models, in a lighter, simpler body. If you want a proper camera on a budget, the A6100 is hard to argue with.
What we like
- Same excellent 24MP sensor and autofocus as dearer models
- Light, small and easy to carry every day
- Flip-up screen suits selfies and vlogging
- Cheapest entry into the large E-mount lens range
What to watch
- Plastic body with no weather sealing
- Lower-resolution viewfinder
- No in-body stabilisation
- Kit lens limits what the sensor can do
Quick answers
Is the A6100 good for beginners?
Very. Autofocus is quick and reliable enough that you can concentrate on composition, the automatic modes are competent, and it is light enough to actually carry. It also grows with you, because the lens range is enormous.
A6100 vs A6400 — what is the difference?
Mainly build and viewfinder. The A6400 is weather-resistant with a better viewfinder; the A6100 is lighter and cheaper. The sensor and core autofocus are closely comparable.
Can I vlog with it?
Yes — the screen flips up to face you. Be aware there is no in-body stabilisation, so handheld walking footage will be less steady than a dedicated vlogging camera like the ZV-1 II.
