Our take on the Sony Alpha a6100 APS-C Mirrorless Camera + 16-50mm + 55-210mm Lenses

The Sony Alpha a6100 is an APS-C mirrorless camera built around a 24.2MP Exmor sensor, the BIONZ X processor and a front-end LSI. It stands out for fast autofocus: 425 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection points cover about 84% of the frame, with Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF for people and animals. It shoots up to 11fps with AF/AE tracking and records 4K video oversampled from the full sensor width with no pixel binning. This kit pairs the body with a 16-50mm power zoom and a 55-210mm telephoto zoom, covering wide to long reach. It suits beginners, families and vloggers who want reliable autofocus and 4K without a full-frame body; against rivals like the Canon EOS M50 and Nikon Z50 it leads on AF coverage and tracking, while those bodies offer a deeper native lens lineup and, in the Z50's case, a brighter kit zoom.

About the Sony Alpha a6100 APS-C Mirrorless Camera + 16-50mm + 55-210mm Lenses

The Sony Alpha a6100 is an APS-C mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor. It pairs the BIONZ X image processor with a front-end LSI, the same type used in Sony's full-frame cameras.

The camera uses a 4D FOCUS system with 425 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection points over 84% of the image area. It can lock focus in as little as 0.02 seconds. Real-time Eye AF uses AI-based subject recognition to detect and track the eyes of people and animals, and Real-time Tracking follows a subject using color, distance, brightness, and face and eye location. A half press of the shutter button starts either mode. You can also choose a subject to track by touching it on the screen.

The camera shoots up to 11 fps at 24.2MP with AF and AE tracking. It records internal 4K video in Super 35mm format with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, and Full HD at 120 fps for slow-motion video. The 3-inch touchscreen LCD tilts 180 degrees and supports touch focus, tracking and shutter. Wi-Fi, NFC and a QR code are provided for file transfer and remote control.

Questions and answers

Is the a6100 good for beginners?
Yes. Autofocus does much of the work, the touchscreen makes focus and shutter easy, and the tilting screen helps with self-recording. The menus take some learning.
How does it compare with the a6400?
They share the sensor, processor and autofocus. The a6400 adds a deeper grip, weather sealing and a higher-resolution EVF; the a6100 is the lighter, simpler option.
Does it have in-body image stabilization?
No. Stabilization comes from lens OSS or electronic stabilization in video. The 16-50mm and 55-210mm kit lenses include optical stabilization.
What is in the box?
The a6100 body, the 16-50mm power zoom, the 55-210mm telephoto zoom, battery, charger or USB cable, strap and body cap.
Can it shoot 4K video?
Yes, 4K at up to 30fps with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, plus a mic input and a 180-degree tilting screen.
Does it work with Sony E-mount lenses?
Yes. It uses the Sony E-mount, so full-frame FE lenses fit too, with a crop.
