Product Overview

Sony a5100 is an entry-level mirrorless camera in the Sony E-mount system. Introduced by Sony in 2014, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The Sony a5100's 6.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Sony a5100 comes with 179 autofocus points.
