Just bought new lens on it too, for me it's the perfect pocketable camera with the meike 25mm f1.8, only thing i wish it had was a silent shutter for street photography

And have besides the standard zoom also the 50-200 equivalent Sony zoom ...

A5100 + Sony 20mm 2.8 , best combo ever

I just got one recently. I put the Brightinstar 35mm F0.95 on it and it is blast to shoot. Also got an M39 LTM adaptor to use a NIkkor 5cm (50mm) H-C F2. Super fun using a vintage lens with it. Its only a bit challenging shooting in the bright sun.

I have an A5100 as my permanent webcam for use with Microsoft Teams, Skype, etc. Have mine paired with a mains powered "dummy battery", Cam Link HDMI > USB dongle and a Viltrox 23mm f/1.4. It just works and provides far higher quality than any normal webcam. Reliable too - got it in 2019 and its been used for at least 4 hours per working day since then. Also useful as a backup camera for my A6700 if I'm photographing / videoing anything important.

@@ArronPrescott i believe you haven't heard of the sony imaging adge webcam software. it is a piece of software from sony with wich you can use your sony a5100 and newer as a webcam without the need of an capture card. just do with it what you want but i use it happily over an capturecard.

I still use the a5100 for photography, the size is pocketable with a small lens (my favorite is the Sony 20mm f2.8) and i can always pop a bigger lense in the bag for more variety. For video, the ZV-E10 has taken its spot.

Do you have any recommendations on a grip for the a5100?!?!? I recently purchased one and I love it. I just need little more to hold on to.

Funny this just got uploaded. I purchased my first "REAL" camera yesterday...a lightly used (sub 1000 clicks) A5100 off Ebay. I purchased it mainly for use on an upcoming trip to a national park, but it'll also double (hopefully) as an upgraded camera for my channel. we'll see...but I'll have to figure out the microphone issue for sure..that sounds horrible. but thanks as always for the review. sounds like I did ok for my first camera.

Hiya pal, a reply would be class... So I've got a 2000D (aka Rebel T7) and I'm quite young and unexperienced, but I do like taking photos, and I love collecting things, especially Cameras and the next Camera I'd get would be a similar stature of my 2000D (which apparently it is, if not a bit better) and I'd love my next camera to be a Sony one, so would you say go for it? I'd use it for taking photos, mainly to test out, because I've got tons of lens for my Canon one, and want to see which brand I prefer.

Hey Aaron, any idea on how to update the firmware on a Mac? The FirmwareUpdater from Sony doesn't seem to support the new Macs and the A5100 I recently acquired is still on Version 1.0.0 :(

Hi. Question: you mentioned this camera is best for video (travel) what in then would you say is the best for just photo (travel)

Still rocking this camera. The biggest gripe (besides no 4k) is overheating. I've done all the tricks I've found online and the thing still shuts down after a few minutes of video recording

I have a full spectrum converted A5100 😊

It's been my only camera for casual photos since I sold all my Canon gears in 2018. Love it! I'm eyeing the Sigma 18-55.

Nice! The Sigma 18-50 is a great upgrade for the kit lens!

still my main (with sigma 16mm and sigma 50), but looking to upgrade

canon r50 possible or eBay Sony ZV e10 or for total simplisticty the Sony zv-1f !

I bought this camera a month ago and very satisfied with it

I bought a used A5100 to explore the vast E-mount lens universe. I usually shoot MFT and was surprised on how small and light the A5100 is, especially compared to my flagship MFT cameras (Olympus OM-1 and Panasonic G9M2). Even with the small power-zoom kit lens I was getting such good results that I saved up to get an A6700. Nonetheless, when I want to use an E-mount lens and weight and size are major considerations (I often shoot street in NYC) I'll use the A5100 instead of the MFTs or the A6700. Aside from certain situations, mainly lower-light conditions where I wish the camera (and/or lens) had stabilization, it has rarely let me down.

i put a 200600 on my A5100 for comical effect. It just works, obviously, but it looks silly hah. I also still own my NEX 5n - and it still works! I've converted my NEX 5N to full-spectrum by removing the IRUV filter from the sensor.

I have both the a500 and 5100. I also have Canon DLSR gear. For the DLSRs, I have a Tamron 24-70 and 70-200mm f2.8. With the Sigma MC-11 converter, I can use those EOS lenses on the little a5000 & 5100. It actually works, however, forgive me if this offends anyone, but... When you mount the 70-200 to the camera (not the other way around, lol) it kind of looks a bit like a mouse having sex with an elephant. I sold my a6000s when I went DSLR but had to keep the little a5000 and added the a5100 later. They're just great little cameras.

If only used for photography (for family vacation, instagram, pictures for memories), do you think the a5100 is great or should we take the a6100? Is the battery life of the 5100 also bad when mainly used for photos? We can‘t decide 🥲

I am still using it after buying it in 2015 to go on a safari in Tanzania.

so this video, the shots where you talk, were made with the A5100? that would be immense. what lens did you use?

Yes that's right, I'm using the a5100 for this video! I'm using it with the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 lens

Yeah. It’s a great camera and very compact. But if the reason for buying this camera is compactness I don’t think those lenses that you mentioned in the video are the best options. They are still huge lens. There are better option such as 35 mm oss or 20mm pancake. I think if you are going for huge lens is better to go for A6000 instead.

Im still using mine. Image is fine but its a pain to use...

I just sell my a65 and got the a6300😅 bit the screen is not working, great cameras🎉

10mp a6700s is somenthing I dream of

funny how i just found that camera in a cabinet and there are still videos about it

Just got mine last week for around 145 usd. Love how compact this is.

Yes! Using it as a webcam - but you know it has the sensor as my ZVE10 right? Same lenses will fit it! Why not!

Is it just me or does the white version (recently purchased) have a different texture and build than the black version? (previously owned)
