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...

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...
