Sony a6100 vs a6400 - What's The Difference?

Sony announced a new camera in it's APS-C Alpha lineup, the a6100 which is really close to the a6400 released earlier this year. Let's take a look at them side-by-side so you can decide which one is right for you.

    Ok, Sony added features to their website for the a6100 since I filmed this video. The a6100 does have interval shooting. What I didn't notice though is that it lacks picture profiles in video mode which means anybody who wants to use APS-C professionally will need the a6400 or higher.

    Do you think is possible to set a picture profile in manual photo mode and then press the record button? Will it work for video? Or they removed all the picture profiles completely?

    I couldn't agree more with the comment about lenses at the end. I find myself more drawn towards the more expensive models, but then I would have less money left over for good glass. Definitely worth compromising at times to have more money towards glass , especially when it's at least a $200 difference. My first mirrorless was one of the earlier m4/3 , 12mp cameras and I was actually able to get some amazing shots because I put money into higher quality lenses.

    Jerad - In this video you said that their is a 30 min. recording limit. That seems to be conflicting with the information I have seen on this camera. I'm about to buy this camera based on how long I can record video. I also called a camera store and they told me that this camera can indeed make videos longer then the 30 min limit just like the A6400 . Here is what they said over at ( imaging-resource.com) "One of the big upgrades is that the A6100, like the recent A6600 and A6400, offers unlimited video recording time instead of the usual 29min, 59sec limit. This makes the A6100 much more appealing and useful as a long-form video recording camera."
