Key Advantages

The Sony Alpha A6100 offers outstanding autofocus speed and tracking accuracy with 425 phase-detection points, enhancing subject acquisition. Its 24.2MP sensor delivers sharp and detailed images with excellent dynamic range. The camera's ability to record 4K video with full pixel readout provides professional-level video quality. The versatile tilting touchscreen aids in composing shots from difficult angles and enhances user experience. It features fast continuous shooting up to 11 frames per second, capturing decisive moments with ease. Wireless connectivity options enable quick sharing and remote shooting, adding convenience.

Limitations

The battery life is moderate, rated for approximately 420 shots per charge, which might require carrying spares for extended use. There is no in-body image stabilization, so users rely on lens stabilization or external aids. The camera lacks a headphone jack for monitoring audio during video recording. The viewfinder resolution is relatively modest at 1.44 million dots, which might be less sharp compared to higher-end models. Limited weather sealing may restrict use in harsh environmental conditions. The camera does not support internal ND filters, limiting some video shooting scenarios.
