I think this is a great camera...
There are so many reviews on this camera I thought rather than simply add to these, I would try to offer an opinion on some of the lenses and accessories I’ve used over the past 14 months since buying it. I think this is a brilliant camera but I must confess that I was initially a little disappointed, and this turned out to be due to the 16-50 kit lens. On a positive note the kit lens helps to keep the camera/lens combination small, it looks right on the camera, offers a reasonable range and under the right conditions, it can take a decent image but, it doesn’t really do the camera justice. My first lens purchase was the Sigma 30mm, in my opinion this is an excellent lens and is probably the one that spends most time on my camera. Physically it isn’t much larger than the kit lens so it is still quite a compact package. My next lens was the Sigma 19mm, another excellent lens. I’ve shown people quite heavily cropped photos taken with this lens and they genuinely haven’t been able to tell. This lens is about 1cm longer than the Sigma 30mm and therefore, not quite so compact, but it’s still not a large combination. Both of these Sigma lenses are available for around £120, a bargain in my opinion and a must buy for anyone owning this camera. I then bought the Sony SEL50 f/1.8, please read the reviews for this lens here on Amazon. Physically it’s slightly larger again than the Sigma 19mm but another excellent lens and highly recommended. I’ve recently taken the plunge and bought the Sony 18-105. Again, please read the reviews for this lens here on Amazon. This is by far the most expensive lens I’ve purchased but it met my requirements perfectly, it’s got the range I wanted, it can provide excellent IQ and therefore, I’m very happy with it. However, of the four lenses I’ve mentioned here this is the most difficult for me to recommend, and this is largely due to the cost. I guess you simply need to ask yourself if you really need/want the range this lens provides? I was quite lucky and managed to buy a Patona Battery Charger and Battery from GmbH through Amazon around the same time I bought the camera (it was £21 at the time), it doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon anymore but can still be bought from GmbH on Ebay. It’s hard to recommend a spurious battery but, I can say that in my experience the Patona lasts just as long as the original Sony, holds its charge just as well, displays remaining charge quite accurately and overall, I’ve been so pleased with the performance of the battery that I’ve recently bought another (from GmbH on Ebay), it was about £12. Other purchases worth considering... (and available here on Amazon):- Joby DSLR Wrist Strap – good quality and great for when you don’t want to use a neck strap. It’s about £13 Black Camera Case Bag for Sony NEX by BW&H – it’s a small case and suits the A5100 perfectly (I’ve actually posted a review on this bag). It’s about £9 If you need a slightly larger Camera Case, the Sony LCS-U11 at £12.50 is worth a look.. In respect to the camera bags I didn’t see the point in buying a compact camera and then lugging around a huge case.. however, I’ve sort of contradicted that by buying the Sony 18-105 lens (it looks quite huge on the A5100) but the combination will still ‘just’ fit in the Sony LCS-U11.... just.!! I’ve seen a few negative comments about the menu navigation and lack of quick access buttons/dials but personally, I like the clean look. I’ve removed the ‘tile’ view when you open the menu and I’ve programmed the available buttons to do what I want. Over time I’ve got to know where the most often needed options are and this, combined with removing the tile view, means that I can generally navigate to what I need quite quickly. I tend to only use the PASM modes but on the odd occasion that I’ve tried it, ‘Intelligent Auto’ seems to do a decent job in most situations too. I do not feel the same about ‘Superior Auto’, it’s just my personal opinion but, on the rare occasions I’ve tried it I’ve never been happy with the results.... I should stress that I am not a professional photographer, I’m just an enthusiastic amateur who like a nice photo.! And I never shoot RAW, only JPEG. These are just my thoughts and opinions but I hope these comments offer some help....

Perfect for pro shots on the go!
Awesome camera for my first semi-pro camera! i took this on holiday and thought i would up my game a bit. Whilst everyone i saw was bulking around massive DSLRs i had this pocket rocket A5100 around my neck with a spare sigma lens in my pocket - which was by no means cumbersome or heavy. Now i won't bore people with the usual comparisons as they're on youtube... you buy something like this if you are on the go and want something really mobile. A DSLR is your pro piece but you wouldn't want it on your hols while spending time with the family or your other half - people do, i know but they are not comfy to carry and walk long distances with. If you want something more than a point and shoot...this is it! Basic Pros - Battery life (a full days use while climbing, going whale watching, sight seeing etc.) roughly i got 16 hours on and off use. - The interchangeable lens on such a tiny light body - The grip is great - nice texture too - selfie screen really does help to take great shots of you and your other half - The aperture/shutter/ISO priority settings are really easy to use - Full auto is as good as they say it is on all the reviews! - darker indoor or night photos look great even with the kit lens - video capture is really good for this range of camera, i really wasn't expecting this. I mean it is proper good! :) Basic cons - the lens pops out ready to shoot (on the kit lens) when you go to view your photos and i cannot figure out how to stop that from happening ( a niggle of mine!) - It doesn't come with a battery charger you have to charge the battery through the camera (which takes 8 hours!) a separate 3rd party charger sorts this out though and it can charge the batteries in 2 hours - There is no dial to adjust the settings quickly, you have to use the screen, not good if your're trying to get a photo of an animal that is about to run away! Update your firmware if you want to sync to iphones by the way... I wish i did this before i left the country. 5 stars as my pros outweigh the negatives massively

Me compré esta cámara tras consultar y comparar entre muchas del mismo rango de precio y características.Tambien seguí los consejos de un fotógrafo profesional que me ayudó a decidirme.Estoy convencida de que ha sido un acierto. No sé mucho de fotografía pero estoy iniciandome y la Sony A5100 tiene unas prestaciones increibles y una calidad de imagen perfecta. He podido realizar fotos durante mis viajes y son asombrosas.Captura muy bien los colores y el enfoque y desenfoque del fondo para realizar retratos.He leido algunos comentarios de que con claridad no se aprecia bien la pantalla...pero amí eso no me ha sucedido. He flipado con la rapidez que tiene para pasar al instante las fotos al móvil,además del control remoto.Estas no pierden calidad al pasarlas y con un buen editor quedan increibles. No pesa nada,es muy pequeña y muy fácil de manejar.Además, tiene muchas opciones de toma de fotos,que aún estoy aprendiendo a utilizar. Comparto las primeras fotos realizadas.Tengan en cuenta que están en modo automático y que aún no he podido practicar mucho con la cámara. Como siempre con Amazon el envío perfecto. Espero que mi opinión les sea de utilitidad.

Ich besitze die Kamera seit gut 2 Wochen. Anfangs wollte ich mir nur einen Eindruck von der Kamera beschaffen, aber jetzt behalte ich sie. Ich bin super-happy mit der Kamera. Der Hauptgrund für die Anschaffung war die Phase-Detection Technologie (nicht face-detection, was für viel Verwirrung in Gesprächen sorgt :-)). Die Möglichkeit ein Subjekt zuverlässig mit dieser spiegellosen Kamera zu tracken ist großartig, und es funktioniert. In erster Linie hat mich dieses Feature für die Aufnahme von Videos interessiert, und ich bin sehr begeistert von den Resultaten. Manuelles Fokussieren für Videoaufnahmen gehört für mich somit der Vergangenheit an. Bei reinen kontrastbasierten Fokussystemen führte bisher eigentlich kein Weg daran vorbei, wenn sich das Subjekt zur Kamera hin oder von der Kamera wegbewegte. Hier meine Plus/Minus Liste: Plus: * Hybrider Fokus überzeugt mich total, bei Fotos und Videos * 6 Bilder pro Sekunde reicht mir völlig, ich bin kein Sportfotograph * Das Display genügt meinen Ansprüchen in jedem Fall, die Helligkeit lässt sich bei starken Sonnenschein auch noch steigern; ich konnte keine störenden Streifen am Display feststellen. * Die Kamerasoftware (Menü) ist schön reaktionsfreudig (responsive), Tastendruck resultiert sofort in entsprechender Aktion (das habe ich bei einer der ersten NEX ganz anders in Erinnerung) * Tolle Größe für die gebotene Technik und Qualität, passt gut in eine Jackentasche (mit dem Standard Objektiv) * Sehr gute Bildqualität, bei Fotos und Videos * Sony kooperiert nun mit Phase One und es gibt eine kostenlose Express Version von Capture One (für Sony) welches die Sony Alpha 5100 unterstützt. Auch Objektivverzerrung des Kit-Objektives kann mit diesem RAW Converter kompensiert werden. Toller Raw-Converter. * Mir reichen die vorhandenen Buttons, obwohl ich immer ein Freund der Direktauswahl des Aufnahmemodus war (PASM). Neutral: * Kamera neigt dazu im Automatik Modus bei schlechtem Licht gleich einmal auf ISO 3200 zu stellen, was dann doch verrauschte Bilder erzeugt. Bei manuellem Eingriff kann man aber sehr wohl mit ISO 400 fotografieren, bei entsprechend längerer Belichtung. * Der Blitz ist okay. Blitzschuh gibt's keinen. Externer Blitz kann aber angesteuert werden soweit ich weiß. * Das Display kann 180° nach oben geklappt werden (für Selfies, wen's freut) aber nicht nach unten. Überkopf Fotographie wird somit nicht erleichtert. * Der Audio-Pegel bei Videoaufzeichnungen kann nicht reguliert werden. Aber bei meinen bisherigen Aufnahmen hat sich das noch nicht als notwendig erwiesen. * Sensorbedingt verliert diese Kamera sofort den Kompaktheitsfaktor, wenn man z.B. ein Teleobjektiv anbringt. Four/Thirds Kameras sind selbst mit Teleobjektiv noch relativ kompakt. * WiFi und NFC habe ich bisher zu wenig ausprobiert, da es für mich kein sonderlich relevantes Feature ist. * Ich erwische mich immer wieder dabei das linke Kameramikrofon mit dem linken Zeigefinger abzudecken, und das Autofokus Hilfslicht halte ich gerne mit dem rechten Zeigefinger zu. Aber die Kamera lässt sich auch anders gut halten, sodass nichts verdeckt wird :) Negativ * Ich fühle mich gezwungen im RAW-Format zu fotografieren, was ich als etwas mühsam empfinde. Ich war mit dem JPG-Output meiner Olympus E-PL2 immer sehr zufrieden. Die Dateigröße der JPG Fotos der Sony ist in den meisten Fällen sogar kleiner als die Fotos der Olympus, obwohl die Sony 24M Pixel hat während die Olympus "nur" 12M Pixel Fotos aufnimmt. Das kann nicht ohne Verlust funktionieren. Wenn ich RAW Dateien nach JPG konvertiere, haben diese teilweise immer noch bis zu 18 MByte, während die JPGs direkt von der Kamera selten mehr als 8MByte groß sind. Auch die Rauschunterdrückung der Kamera finde ich zu viel des Guten. Bei hohen ISO Werten scheint hier "viel hilft viel" die Devise zu sein. Für hohe ISO Werte kann die Noise-Reduction auch auf "low" (wird wohl "niedrig" im Deutschen Menü heißen) gesetzt werden. Aber auch diese Einstellung hat mich (noch) nicht überzeugt. Ich würde mir ein SuperFine Setting für die JPG-Kompression und etwas mehr Kontrolle über die Rauschunterdrückung wünschen. * Im "Play"-Mode (der Modus in dem man seine Aufnahmen auf der Kamera ansehen kann) braucht es fast 2 Sekunden bis der vergrößerte Bildauschnitt geladen ist, wenn man in ein Foto reinzoomt. Das fühlt sich arg lang an. Allerdings geht weiteres Zoomen und Bildauschnitt verschieben dann wieder flott. Offensichtlich überwiegen für mich klar die Vorteile über die Nachteile, von daher kann ich die Kamera auf jeden Fall empfehlen, wenn man auf der Suche nach einer Kamera mit kompakten Abmessungen mit ausgezeichneter Bildqualität ist.

Premetto che ho preso questa mirrorles soprattutto per i video e che l'ho presa inizialmente con l'obiettivo kit 16-50 (allego anche due foto fatte con questo obiettivo che reputo comunque buono per iniziare, entrambe le foto sono state fatte a 50mm). Ho comprato da Amazon Warehouse Deals e sono stato soddisfatto della merce sia per le condizioni sia per la spedizione. Prima di fare la recensione ho utilizzato la a5100 per un paio di mesi sia facendo foto che video, sia con l'obiettivo kit, che con i due che ho preso successivamente (il 16mm e il 50mm sempre Sony) e ho notato subito le potenzialità di questa macchina che fa foto e video ad alta qualità. Ovviamente le foto sono composte anche e direi soprattutto dall'abilità del fotografo e dal soggetto, ma già avendo un buon corpo macchina aiuta molto. Questa mirrorless di ottima qualità può essere utilizzata completamente in automatico, in modo semiautomatico e in modo completamente manuale, quindi la consiglio sia a chi ha esperienza, sia a chi non ne ha ma eventualmente è interessato a imparare. Io l'ho trovata comoda da utilizzare, leggera e se accoppiata con un obiettivo pancake (tipo il 16mm 2.8) si può praticamente mettere in tasca. La durata delle batterie dipende dall'uso che se ne fa, può durare 2 ore se se ne fa un'uso molto intensivo (soprattutto video) oppure tranquillamente tutta la giornata con un uso moderato (soprattutto foto), ma per questo non c'è problema esistono le batterie (anche non di marca) da tenere a portata di mano. Ricordatevi di prendere una memory card capiente da almeno 64gb con una buona velocità (io ho preso una 90mb/s per poter sfruttare al massimo le qualità di questa fotocamera). Si può scattare anche utilizzando il cellulare che si connette alla sony con un applicazione gratuita, inoltre ci sono anche diverse applicazioni scaricabili direttamente sulla mirrorless (alcune a pagamento) come quella per fare i timelapse che costa 9,99€. Lo schermo che si è può ruotare è molto comodo, soprattutto per i video in modo da controllare l'inquadratura. Per contro però manca il mirino, ma per quanto mi riguarda non mi ha dato particolari problemi, tranne quando si utilizza in pieno solo e si fa fatica a vedere il display. Prima di concludere posso dire che se siete alle prime armi potete comprare il corpo macchina più un'obiettivo kit 16-50 e poi valutate le vostre esigenze, se volete comprare altri obiettivi (sicuramente lo farete). Ma non solo: tenete presente che potrete comprare un cavalletto, delle batterie extra, forse un'altra memory card se la usate in viaggio, dei filtri ND per le lunge esposizioni, un filtro polarizzatore e ovviamente degli attrezzi base di pulizia come una pompetta per la polvere e un pennellino (io me la sono cavata prendendoli separatamente spendendo circa 10 euro). Questo per dire che quando comprate una mirrorless potrete avere bisogno di altri accessori, alcuni indispensabili. Non che dobbiate spendere molto, però tenetelo presente.

Sehr gute Kompakt Kamera mit sehr leichter Bauweise. Tragegurt kommt mitgeliefert, Set mit passender Tasche wäre praktisch für unterwegs. Aber dank des kompakten Maßes passt sie auch gut in nen größeren Bauchgurt Verwende sie gerne für Schnappschüsse, da relativ schnell startklar. Akku Kapazität ist nicht ganz so toll. Habe aber jetzt keinen Vergleich Aber nach einem Vormittag mit ca hundert Fotos und Betrachtung am Display - ist schon wieder Aufladen angesagt. Verlässlicher, schneller Autofokus Schönes Bokeh Gute Aufnahme Autofunktionen Äußerst praktisch ist die Verbindung mit dem Smartphone. Am Handy muss über App Store die App 'imaging Edge' installiert werden. Dann einmal die Kamera am Handy anmelden und koppeln , somit bei jeder neuen Übertragung sofort verbunden und die Fotos sind dann am Handy in der Galerie in einem eigenen Ordner abgespeichert. Super Sache! Preis Leistungsverhältnis über Amazon - perfekt. Gute, leichte Kamera für Einsteiger (mit einem Objektiv ausreichend)
