Review: Sony a5100. €519

Sony’s latest camera combines power with convenience – and has interchangeable lenses

Cameras are getting smarter and more powerful these days. Sony’s latest, the a5100, combines power with convenience, teaming up features seen in its a6000 camera with a more convenient package. There’s a fast hybrid auto focus for blur-free action shots with a 24.3 megapixel sensor and wifi image sharing. There’s the ability to shoot video in full HD and an LCD screen that tilts 180 degrees for the ultimate selfie with touch focusing and shutter controls.

Did we mention the lenses are interchangeable too?

And that's not all. Sony has also added Play Memories Camera apps to the a5100, which adds extra utilities and creative tools to the camera such as effects. At €519, it's a pricey but powerful addition. Sony.ie
