Best Sony Alpha A5100 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals & Sales 2020:
Slowly, but surely, Sony is developing its entry-level hybrids. This post with capital strategic interest has expired, formerly embodied by the late Nex-3 dynasty and others, according to nomenclature adjustments, has fallen to the Alpha 5000 series , the second representative of which, the Alpha 5100, constitutes the star of the day. Under a seemingly unchanged dress, the Alpha 5100 shelters especially a slightly more defined APS-C CMOS sensor (24.3 Mpx against 20 Mpx) and some technical elements borrowed from the big brother Alpha 6000 , including the hybrid AF module at 179 points and the white balance measurement on 1200 segments.

Reactivity
Will the curse of the 16-50 mm OSS still strike? Regarding the start-up time, certainly, since the Alpha 5100 remains well above the 2 second mark. For the wait between two shots, we are exactly between what an Alpha 5000 and an Alpha 6000 do, whose A5100 has also recovered the autofocus module. However, the impact on the timers is quite small.
Image quality
The Alpha 5000’s 20 Mpx CMOS APS-C sensor gives way to the Alpha 6000’s 24 Mpx. Associated with the Bionz X processor, the unit distils, without surprise, images very similar to those of the expert big brother. .. to qualitative variations from 16 to 50 mm. The reputation of the lack of regularity in the production of the latter is further confirmed. Notwithstanding, the essentials must be remembered: from ISO 100 to ISO 1600, the A5100 is flawless and, unless you are keen on large format prints (larger than 40 x 60 cm), the ISO 3200 will fold without barely to your desires.
Video
In addition to the classic MP4 and AVCHD formats, the Alpha 5100 can now record in XAVC S, just like the RX100 III and Alpha 7s. It looks nice on the data sheet, but, concretely, it does not bring much more compared to the AVCHD, especially that the advantages brought by the XAVC-S (possibility of recording in 4K and fast filming ) are not used. That aside, the Alpha 5100 turns out to be excellent for video: PASM modes are available, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity during recording and, above all, the image quality is impeccable and the sound very good
