I call this my my pocket camera. small, compact and oozing with power. just the job with a professional result. Cool man!

Just Great

The camera is compact and versatile for what it is. Unfortunately the dim screen makes the lack of EVF challenging in direct sunlight. The UI is terrible. And the camera is fairly outdated and lacking many features.

Decent and compact camera with bad UI

Highly recommend

This is the best camera I have bought in a long time, the electronic view finder is best suited for me as I wear glasses, The lens is the best I have and can get the best wedding photographs and portrait for my portfolio, a Sony camera well worth the money, Thank you Sony for this excellent camera.

Sony Mirrorless Camera

Bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. Its very easy to use like a point and shoot that you can change the lens!

Sony Alpha a5100

Happy with this camera for the non-photographer in our family

A great simple camra

I have nine wall sized prints made (at or over 36" X 25") from the camera-am running out of wall space. Great enlargements!

Features similar to professional DSLR

So glad I made this choice this camera is incredible I’m so happy with it

Great camera

I bought this camera years ago always comes in handy for memories.
only didn't give 5 stars because uploading videos is kind of a task

excelent quality

I bought this 3 months ago. So far I'm very happy with it

My account

WIFI wont connect to mobile phone and having to use remote function and code wont scan - returning to shop.

Poor quality zoom

Was looking for a lightweight camera for hiking. But still wanted good quality photos. This camera fits the bill perfectly. Great value for the price

Great value

I really liked the a5100. It's size, image quality, and general performance were everything I wanted. However, I live in the Florida Keys, and without a viewfinder the LCD was just too difficult to see. I tend to shoot Manual, and the combination of strong sunlight, and small settings information on the LCD resulted in too much time being spent on trying to make/correct exposure settings. Loved everything else about it, but couldn't justify the expense of keeping it.

Superior camera but tough to use in bright sunlight

Nice and compact with the full functions of a DSLR with touch screen and remote control by phone

Sony a5100 with APS-C

I bout this camera on a sper of the moment and it was a good one

I bought this a little over 3 months ago and now all of a sudden it stopped working and won't turn on. I use the camera not to often for the battery to have died already.

Doesn't turn on!

Just bought A5100 and am well pleased. SLR quality with many features. Full auto through to manual it's a delight. At this price you can't beat it.

Quality.

I am a self employed photographer and film maker. I bought this camera to use on a family holiday to Orlando. It is compact and full of features, however it came close to being thrown on a couple of occasions. We wanted to capture memorable occasions both in photo and video. This camera however cannot handle video at all. Don't get me wrong, it creates lovely images and AVCHID files but the camera literally cannot record film for any length of time.
We missed out on the Disney parade as the camera shut down after about 15 minutes due to overheating. Granted the outside temp was 30+ degrees but I screened the camera from direct sunlight whilst filming. The camera would not switch back on for some time and we had to default to our iPhones. 
This continued throughout the holiday and ended up being left at the accommodation in the end. Either that, or it would have met its fate at the bottom of a lake.
We put the fault down to the hot temperatures, but on returning to the UK I used the Sony on a tripod to film an outside concert. This was used alongside my main Nikon camera's, and even a DJI OSMO just to capture all angles. Of 4 cameras the Sony packed it yet again due to overheating. I even opened the battery compartment door to aid cooling, but only lasted little over 5 minutes before shutting down again.
Overall, I am very disappointed in this camera and has changed my mind from changing from Nikon to the 7 series.
If you want a compact camera for a holiday or point & shoot this is a decent camera. Just don't expect it to perform for extended filming. Literally nothing beyond 20 minutes, which is poor as it couldn't be used to film a party, wedding etc due to the overheating issue that needs resolving.

Ideal point & shoot but has major flaws

I bought this about a month ago and I never knew it would be so small. The camera after a while feels like your holding a clutch! This little baby has everything worth your wild like the interchangeable lens, wifi, flip screen and apps! I didn't expect this camera to have that in it. I would say it's an intermediate camera. You have to play with the settings to get feel of what is going on with it. I had a small problem sometimes when I shoot with outside the camera goes black on me. It's not all the time but it's been on my mind lately. I think because it does get overheated. Although, it's a great camera to use.

great features

Great little camera, loads of features, best in class.

Great little camera

Bought this camera brand new and has given me so many problems since then. Starting with the camera over heating after the 10 min. mark. It is not charging properly, and looses all my data from the memory cards. Bought this camera for vlogging purposes, never again. Still seeing what I am going to do since I have to keep uploading content every week.

ONE Star

Great camera for low light. The camera also has some very good and prime lens that are not super expensive.

Fantastic value for money

I bought this product not longer than a week ago and it's already blowing my mind. Exceptional!

AMAZING

I can not film for more than 20 minutes before my camera shuts off due to over heating. This is so frustrating and it's been more than 2 weeks so I cannot return the product either. A complete waste of money for me.

Over Heats

Very great features for the intermediate to professional user. I love the affordability of this mirrorless Dslr. Professional quality at affordable price

Well balanced

The camera is simple to use although I found the screen scratched quite easily so would recommend fitting a saver film

Simple to use

Great camera for beginners. It was just what I was looking for so far I like every single feature, picture quality is great indoors and outdoors

Great Picture Quality

I bought just a few weeks age. happy with camera but the manual is confusing.

functional

First time buying a camera I love it. Great that we can link it with iphone

Nifty

We bought this camera for our 2 week vacation overseas. It was perfect! We enjoyed using the selfie feature more than we thought. It took beautiful photos in all lighting. The only thing we couldn't figure out is how to take better photos of backlit scenes, but I think that's a user errors. It takes photos quickly. We couldn't be happier. 
Perfect for a a novice who wants great photos, and wants to learn more about photography without being overwhelmed.
