How to used viewfinder on this camera because it is very difficult to see on daylight

Just purchased one as a backup to my a6600. It’s absolutely amazing for the price! I love how it’s so tiny but can take all the same lenses.

Thank you for making a video on the a5100 in 2020!

Thankyou so much arron!! Much needed knowledge about sony a5100 👍🏻 respect🙏🏻❤

Thanks for the video man! It was really helpful!

Informative & straightforward - good review I like it.

Hello Arron, Congratulations on the 1000 subscriber mark !!!!! I still use my a5100. Lately, I've been experimenting with vintage lenses with my A7II. This afternoon I mounted a helios 44-2 58mm f2 onto the a5100 and was pleasantly surprised. Granted, it was on a tripod, but, the results were very good, thanks to the focus peaking on this camera :) Keep up with the great work :) pete

Very informative review. Would love to see you up your microphone game when recording reviews like this. Cheers!

Yes, it's quite a nice camera, bought it in 2018, and though I also use an A6400, the portability and that zoom in with the telephoto trigger is great. The flippable screen is also good to take photos at floor level without laying on the floor. Great for macro, only major flaw for me is the lack of a viewfinder.

Great video! Reminded me of all the great things about my A5100, recently mine overheats after about 5 mins! 😭 so I’m gutted it makes it so difficult to film for my channel as I’m always worrying about when it will overheat! Not sure what to do next, can’t live without my camera! 🙈

Hi Arron, I’ve used the a5100 for a few years now. It’s a really great camera. But mine will consistently overheat after a little less than five minutes set to AVCHD.

Agreed! After so many new a6X00 cameras last year I'm hoping for an a5200(?) In 2020.

Have had this for a few years now. I use it for travel vlogs, photos, makeup tutorials. Love: Flip up screen. Great for vlogs Lightweight and compact Remote control from my iPhone Dislikes: Gets hot and shuts off after ~15 mins. Annoying for my makeup tutorials Shaky!!! Can’t do walking vlogs. Looking for upgrade! Advice welcome

If you want to stay with Sony the a6100 probably fits the bill pretty well, flip up screen, no recording limit. If you want a completely stable walking vlog you'll need to get a gimbal. Thanks for watching!

I was gifted this camera and I’m very new to photography. I would ideally like to use this camera to take close-up pictures of my shoes. Can anyone recommend me a lens I can upgrade to?

How can you keep so thin wide monitor so low? You put a high strain on your neck, by constantly looking down. Rise it to eye level.

1 thing i don't like about the A5100 is the noisy body clips on both sides ( where you put the neck strap threw) No idea how to stop if from making this annoying noice.

They are annoying and quite noisy if you're recording and using the on board audio. Couple of options are taping them down or removing them completely.

I just got it today :)

@@hiden1980 i have not. For some reason my handphone cannot connect to the handphone and my laptop couldn't read the images. But for video all is okay. I will try uploading today and take a look if i did :) and also i recorded video for youtube. Keep in mind that all my video don't have a good lighting and i did not colour grade anything

I use the Sony 55-210mm, it's about the cheapest telephoto zoom lens you can get that also has image stabilization.
