    Great value camera!
    I am personally a strong believer that the camera body contributes less to your pictures than your lenses do. With that being said, the 6100 has the same sensor (as far as I can tell) as the 6400 and 6600 at a fraction of the price. You can then turn around and use the money you saved to invest in some super nice lenses. I went with the sigma 18-50mm, sigma 56mm, and the Sony 70-350mm and am blown away by the quality of pictures that come out of it. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone that is just getting started in photography and does not want to commit to a full frame setup.

    I got the A6100 as an upgrade for my A6000. The A6100 basically has the same sensor as the A6000 but the autofocus system is better. But the color science is better on the A6100 as is the low light performance. The A6100 has the eye tracking autofocus for people and pets and it is great.
    The menu system is fine. Granted I have only used Sony Alpha cameras, but once you get used the menus they are fine.
    I am very happy with the A6100. While I did like the A6000, the A6100 is a big improvement for me.

    Wow! Just wow! The video quality coming out of this model from Sony is stunning! I've shot a few music videos and a commercial professionally, yes, with this camera. It's beyond capable. They've improved the color science and the 4K footage is simply amazing! Crisp, accurate colors are the two stand outs regarding this camera. Although it doesn't have S-log as a feature the colors are so on point you most likely won't miss it. I neutralize and zero out the presets and later in post I have no problem color grading or adding my favorite LUTS. Buy it, you'll like it!

    I purchased this because I needed A light weight camera to carry while hiking and back packing. I have a canon 6D with a sigma 35 art or a big ole 24-70 L. I wanted to have something that was sharp and would really capture the color and landscape that I would be shooting but also able to carry in a front pouch. So far I feel that’s it’s build well. I opted out of the kit lens and purchased a Rokinon 12 mm, manual focus for the foos wide angle shots. Will update once I go out with it.

    Update*6/12/2* I feel like it lags a little when shooting. After manually focusing it takes several seconds after the shot in order to get back to a live view. Other than that the images are crisp

    Sony’s a6100 Mirrorless Camera is well made. The camera is made primarily from plastic, but the materials used are high quality, it is well assembled, and the buttons and knobs feel smooth and positive when used. Included with the Sony are the battery, charging cable, shoulder strap, and eye-cup for the viewfinder.

    The Sony is a compact and easy to travel with camera, especially with the petite 16-50 power zoom lens. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around all day. Once you start putting telephoto lenses on it becomes just as cumbersome and heavy to carry as a traditional DSLR, however.

    The camera has a nice rubberized grip that fits my hand well. All of the buttons are clustered on the right hand side of the camera making it easy to operate with your thumb. Most of the buttons can be customized to control whichever function you prefer, but you’ll have to remember which is which. I find the control layout to be fine, and generally user friendly. The menu system, however, is more of a complicated mess. It is a long and daunting menu, and while most items are grouped by function the names of the items can be hard to figure out without reading the manual. It will take some practice to make navigating the menu organic when shooting. My experience with Canon and Fuji cameras drives this point home, as I find them easier to use.

    Focus speed and accuracy on the a6100 are excellent. I have a very active 2 year old and when I have the camera set-up for continuous autofocus, continuous shooting, and tracking autofocus, it does an admirable job of keeping my son in focus. Not every shot will be tack sharp but the majority will be great for printing and sharing online. For static subjects the focus speeds are exemplary and it hits proper focus 99% of the time.

    Photo quality is excellent and a huge step up from a smaller sensor camera, and especially a cell phone. I shoot all of my images using RAW format and edit them in Adobe Lightroom. I find colors to be accurate and saturated, but not over the top. White balance is reliable. Dynamic range is excellent and I am able to recover a lot of lost highlight and shadow detail. Noise levels are very low. I can comfortably shoot up to ISO 4000 without worry. Higher ISO speeds are also usable but require more finesse to strike a nice balance between noise and detail. Compared to my 1 inch sensor Sony RX100 V6 I can shoot at much higher ISO speeds on the a6100. The larger sensor also allows for more out of focus backgrounds to make your subjects pop more, even with the modestly spec’d kit lens. The small built-in flash works fine for close subjects or as a fill flash.

    The kit lens is just okay. It’s compact and well made. It also focuses quickly and accurately, but it isn’t the sharpest and needs to be stopped down to about f/6 before it becomes truly sharp. I am looking forward to picking up a prime lens to really see what this Sony can do.

    The screen on the back of the camera is fairly sharp and bright. The screen tilts down or flips over for selfies. I need to use the outdoor setting when shooting in the sun. Thankfully, the camera also has an electronic viewfinder. It is bright and sharp and the camera automatically switches between the two.

    The battery charges in camera and takes a few hours to complete a charge. Battery life is excellent and I appreciate that the camera displays battery life as a percentage. You can charge the camera with a portable battery pack as well.

    The camera can connect to your phone using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and there is a companion app to download. It’s a simple app, and can be confusing to use, but it works fine with my iPhone XR running iOS 13. It allows me to control the camera remotely, transfer photos to my phone, and tag my photos with location data.

    All in all… an excellent little camera.

    I have been a Sony Mirrorless user since 2015. I love the compact size of the Sony A6000 line and this Camera is an absolute bargain. Its my daily shooter for video and has handled everything that I throw at it. I often shoot in rain, snow and wind and the Sony A6100 holds up everytime. In the review, it asked me to rate the features and Touch Screen was an option. I dont like the touchscreen because its a little messy when you flip up the screen and you accidentally touched it and now its locked it focus on some obscure part. You can cancel that but its my only annoyance.

    Best Budget Camera ! does nearly the same as Sony a6400 . Would be nearly the same as Sony a6600 but just doesn’t have built in stabilization and better battery life . also this Sony a6100 has unlimited record time . no more 30 min limit.

    Bought this body only to go along with the 16-50 and 55-200 kit lens. The A6100 is a giant step up from the A6000. This is definitely not a camera for beginner. Manual has improved from A6000 but still not easy to use, take some time to get used to.

    Even though It might not be as "loaded" as the A6600, 6400 or the 6500, the improvements over its predecessor are well worth it. A VERY GOOD complement to your photo equipment. The tracking on this model is absolutely phenomenal. Enjoy.
