Sony A6100 Hands-On And Opinion (Canon M50 Compairson)

Today we take a look at the Sony A6100. It replaces the A6000 as the base model of the more advanced APS-C mirrorless cameras that Sony offers in e-mount. I go over various features of the camera such as ergonomics, build, and button placements. I also try some of the videos modes along with the Imaging Edge Android app. Throughout the video I compare it to my personal Canon EOS M50, which has many similar features. As of the making of this video the A6100 has a price premium over the M50, but I think with some time they will be priced similarly. My main focus on the cameras is from a hybrid perspective, so that means both photo and video. I think these camera fit well as an entry point to that type of combination work.

The great thing of the A6100 is that still in 2023 it's a great video camera and a great photography camera, I just switched from the canon 200D or sl2 here in America to the a6100, and I'm glad I did. Paired with a good prime or art lens, this camera is limitless and even with some budget lenses it produces stellar images. I do hate that the screen is not fully touch, but that's a slight thing to give up for better quality overall.

I upgraded from Canon 250D to A6100 for my podcast and I’m very happy! No recording limit, continuous charging and 4K for that price… can’t beat it!

Thank you so much for this review. I need to capture my kid as he is growing up fast!

[HectorMartinez-xvre]

Love it! Had to decide between the a6100, the m50, and the Fuji X-t200 and ultimately decided on the Sony and am happy with my choice so far!

Last week i have got sony a6100. I'm just satisfied with it😊😊

[joycesubico]

Thank you for this review. I just purchased today the Sony a6100 and was planning to return it coz i got confused between Canon m50. But because of your review you enlighten me of some features so i will probably kept it.

Best review I’ve seen so far! You should think about maybe doing the Mark 2 vs the a6100 now?

[LifeAsImani]

I already have the M50, but it's a little too heavy to vlog...so I think I'm gonna grab this one

how does this and the a6000 compare to the fujifilm xt200

[davemunoz]

Is it just me or does the sony sensor look bigger than the canon?

[insaiyan]

Which is better buy for casual, portraits, sometimes scenery photos?

[wesrek]

Witch one would you recommend for a beginner? I want to start taking more portrait-pictures, building a portfolio as a hairdresser and trying to be more creative.

[ShineSpriteGamer]

ok. if you have the money, get a6100


but I think im going with the m50. 1st of all, Im not rich. 2nd of all, I love the flip OUT screen. third. 1080p is still good so I guess its fine for me. still better than an iphone

1:50 you just made what I have been searching for: put your camera to try the electronic view finder. One of my great desires is be possible to see throught the 1440p and 2440p EVFs, to see the differences. Can you try some video of it? BTW, your video is awesome!

Hi, would u consider the sony zv-1 over the sony 6100? on a budget but also want to make a smart long-term investment. ZV1 got the blur background and the nd filter built in which is cool but fear dropping it. Sony 6100 can change lenses tho. so not too sure. How is the stabilzation on the 6100? Looking to Do more talking head and some vlog. Thanks.

[dodongchannel]

Planning to buy a6100 is it good choice for vlogging and photography?

[gianfortes]

I’m gonna go with the Sony A6100, do you think it is good for video and portraits?

[BuddysDIY]

Hey Scott great video. Your channel will grow forsure.

I'm looking to upgrade as my channel is growing. Best buy rep told me the 6100 is gonna be the best bet for what I do.

Any others I should consider? Looking for pretty much strictly recording quality. I think I wider lens will on the 6100 is awesome for what I do. Anyways I'd appreciate the expertise:)

i kinda sad that m50 does not have aperture priority or shutter priority in video mode. Only full manual.. i try vlog in manual with nd filter but sometime i go from place to place the exposure keep changing. a6100 for quick and easy, i use aperture priority and forget about everything.I know the shutter speed not look good, but it save time focus on vlog . instead m50 made me keep adjusting the nd filter all the time.. great video BTW.

[GrumpyMansREVIEWS]

This is a video I wanted to see. Have you tried the M6 MK2 or 90D I use the M50 looking for something with better 4K thanks
