Features carried over from the α5000 that will appeal to digicam upgraders include the Auto Object Framing function, Anti-Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight Mode Dynamic Range Optimiser and the easy availability of Picture Effects (14 of them), most of which...
The lack of a viewfinder will always be an issue for photographers who live in the Southern Hemisphere where clear skies and bright sunlight can make LCD screens unreadable. Aside from that, the α5100 is a good performer at a reasonable price.We're a litt...

Sony's camera team has been on a tear in the past year and a half, quietly assembling one of the more enviable top-to-bottom lineups on the market. The full-frame mirrorless A7 series won the company a number of awards, but stellar values like the compact...
For beginners or those with designs on more advanced photography, the A5100 is a great option. Sony's A7-series mirrorless cameras have been earning plaudits for their pro-quality video and full-frame sensors, but the low end of Sony's mirrorless line...

The A5100's features and price place it between the Sony A5000 and A6000 in the line-up. That means it can be seen as a replacement for the old NEX-5T (or the almost identical 5R), though it's far closer in most ways to its current-generation siblings.The...
Mid-price cameras are often simply a blend of features from other models, possessing no technical innovation of their own. That's certainly the case here but we're not convinced that Sony has struck the best balance. We found the A5000's controls a little...

We'll say it again: the A5100 is small. It's wee. It's tiny. It's little. Dinky, even. And that's both a good and a bad thing.First, the bad.The A5100 lacks the large grip of the A6000 to help you hold it steady, merely having a small textured bump to cli...

Sony A5100 verdict Open Gallery We're hugely impressed with the Sony A5100, given its price. For £550 (and you'll probably find it cheaper than that online very soon) you get superb still and video quality in almost all conditions, as well as cla...

Slowly but surely, Sony is updating its entry-level line of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. Once represented by the NEX-3 & Co., the company's bottom-rung range has since given way to the Alpha 5000 , and now the Alpha 5100. In a body similar to...

The Alpha 5100 is a great little camera that's consistent, easy to use and delivers fantastic picture quality for stills and video. It doesn't really have any deal-breaking flaws, and it deserves each of its four stars. That said, we can't recommend it fo...

Sony’s latest compact camera model, the Sony Alpha 5100 features some of the Japanese firm’s latest technology, including the 24.3-million-pixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, with an sensitivity range of ISO 100-25,600 and the Bionz X processor seen in the mo...

Although its the same size as the Sony NEX-5T that it replaces, the new Alpha 5100 has the same 24.4-million-pixel CMOS sensor and Bionz X processor as the Alpha 6000 above it in the Sony compact system camera line-up.Another key change is the increase in...

My first impressions of the Sony Alpha 5100 are very good, but I want to use a full production sample in anger before I pass judgement on its handling now that the control dial that was on the top of the NEX-5T has gone. However, it seems straightforward...

Since Sony dropped its NEX branding and blanketed its compact system camera line with the Alpha brand name, the range has not morphed dramatically, simply divided itself into different schools of thought: those seeking a compact alternative, and those see...

Excess menu digging, no mode dials or standard function buttons, low-light autofocus can't be pinpointed, distortion and excessive JPEG processing qualms...
The Sony A5100 won't appeal to all as it's sometimes fussy to use given its lack of control dials. If that's what you're after then look to the Sony A6000 which caters for such needs, along with the addition of a viewfinder and hotshoe which the A51...

This 24.3 megapixel mirrorless interchangeable lens camera comes with a 16—50mm lens. On this APS sensor that translates into 24—75mm in film terms. The retracting lens keeps the overall bulk of the camera small enough for a handbag, if not for a pocket...
The image quality is good, and better than good in RAW mode. Auto white balance is particularly fine even under mixed light sources where subjects are rendered in correct colours. Movie mode is aided by a very smooth power zoom function controlled with a...
The absence of any external function controls – even something as elementary as shooting mode (Auto, P, S, A, M) is a pain in the posterior. There is no eyelevel viewfinder, not even an option...

The Sony a5100 camera is a solid mirrorless camera. For a DSLR user like me, it doesn't offer as much as a DSLR does – that's expected, but for the size, it's stunning. I actually brought the camera everywhere with me since it's so small!Then comes the pr...
