According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Sony Alpha A5100 + 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS black is a fast and accurate system camera for the novice photographer and vlogger. The 16-50mm lens is suitable for everyday use, so you can use it for street, portrait, architecture, and landscape photography. The device is equipped with fast autofocus and easily captures moving subjects at 6 frames per second. You can easily send images to your smartphone or printer via WiFi or NFC, so you can share the best pictures with friends and family right away. Do you want to check whether you're in frame while vlogging? Simply tilt the touchscreen 180 degrees. Shooting in low-light conditions is not a problem; just set the ISO value to 25,600.

Bought the camera to be able to take pictures and video. I was able to try out the camera during my vacation. Tried the many options and they work well. In a dark church it is still possible to take beautiful pictures in the night mode, without flash. Thanks to the high resolution, you can still zoom in well on the PC afterwards, without it being visible. There are only three points of improvement. In the portrait-night and panorama mode, it seems as if a small machine gun is going off, which gives a lot of attention in a silent church. In addition, I miss the rotary knob that other Sony cameras have to, for example, change settings from automatic to panorama. This works via the menu, which is a bit more laborious. The movie button is very small. I am more than satisfied with the camera and the result is very good. Despite the lack of the rotary knob, it is highly recommended.

Bought the alpha 5100 as a replacement for my nex 5N, because of better autofocus, sensor and flash. Even though this body looks a bit cheaper than my old nex 5N, the photos are really a step better (and they were already good). Owned it for about 3 weeks and made over 300 photos. Solidity also seems fine. Operation is easy, kit lens 16-50 is ok. Immediately bought a tamron 18-200 lens and that combination is great! Everything remains very portable.

Camera is very convenient to use and easy to carry. A lot of functions, and the link to smartphone works very quickly. Pictures taken with this camera can easily be used for commercial purposes because of the high quality.
