Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...
Abstract: Sony has announced a new ILC (interchangeable lens camera) today that replaces the NEX-5T. The new Sony Alpha 5100 (aka a5000) has been designed for families and casual photographers looking to step-up from using just a cellphone or a compact digicam. Bas...

With the introduction of the A5100 Sony appears to have undermined the higher-end A6000 model somewhat with its support for the pro-level XAVC S codec. It's not as if the A5100 adopts a lesser sensor either. In fact it appears to be the same unit with pra...

The image quality is good, and better than good in RAW mode. Auto white balance is particularly fine even under mixed light sources where subjects are rendered in correct colours. Movie mode is aided by a very smooth power zoom function controlled with a
The absence of any external function controls – even something as elementary as shooting mode (Auto, P, S, A, M) is a pain in the posterior. There is no eyelevel viewfinder, not even an option
The lack of a viewfinder will always be an issue for photographers who live in the Southern Hemisphere where clear skies and bright sunlight can make LCD screens unreadable. Aside from that, the α5100 is a good performer at a reasonable price.We're a litt...
Small size, Compatible with PlayMemories apps to expand featureset, Tilting screen
No viewfinder, Limited touchcontrol, No mode dial
My first impressions of the Sony Alpha 5100 are very good, but I want to use a full production sample in anger before I pass judgement on its handling now that the control dial that was on the top of the NEX-5T has gone. However, it seems straightforward...

The Sony Alpha 5100 interchangeable lens camera is a great option if you're new to photography, or just looking for an inexpensive option to a DSLR. It's also very easy to use, and comes with a lot of cool features that will have you experimenting with p...
Abstract: Byline: By Victor YapEver since I tried the Sony NEX 5 range, I know there is no turning back for me. From its APS-C HD CMOS sensor that – if memory serves me right – is considered the biggest in its class, to the 3in tilt-able LCD screen – also the large...
Great image quality, fast autofocus speeds, tiltable LCD screen for taking selfies
Missing pro features like viewfinder and flash hotshoe
The a5100 boasts solid specs that should please any photographer. The 24.3-megapixel sensor inherited from the higher end a6000 delivers solid image quality.At the same time, the hybrid autofocus system and fast 6fps continuous shooting speed make...
