Our take on the Sony a6100 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm Lens

The Sony a6100 is an entry-level APS-C mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP CMOS sensor and a 16-50mm power zoom kit lens. It stands out for fast autofocus with real-time eye tracking, 11 fps burst shooting and 4K video, in a body small enough to carry all day. The best new price is $798 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, with 8 stores listing it new. That sits near the top of its recent range, so it is not a bargain moment for this kit.
