Hi.thank u very very much for all the videos u have made for a5100 till now. Yes it's worth using in 2023 too. I love my a5100 for dance videoshoots & short videos. I have used all the major lenses on this camera & It's great & gives best shots in this price range. Love from india
still shooting all my video and my livestreams with it with a sigma sigma 16mm f1.4. It's great for streaming but I'll invest in a zv e10 this year, still the a5100 was a great decision for me to start with! I paid 180 usd for it, got it used 😎
Thanks for always covering the A5100! I use mine for street and travel photography and video for unexpected occasions. This channel was a great help to me when I was getting into Sony mirrorless cameras.
Bought mine used this week. Will be mainly used for still photography on motorcycle and hiking trips, therefore I needed something small and fairly cheap. Used it a little bit and so far, I'm impressed.
Had 2 and picked up another a few months ago. I really like it. Touch PDAF, XD Card on side, virtually no rolling shutter. I was going to upgrade to a6400's but have decided to stay with the 5100's for now. I'm getting good results.
This is such a great camera for a studio video set, maybe even the best in its class and price range. -Clean HDMI out native in the options, never overheats when doing video capture on a dummy battery, very clean image and color control. I ran an interview setup with 3 cameras and a bunch of old Canon fixed lenses from eBay. The finished product is right on par with any top podcast.
@@user-nm6if7kg3r It's a wired version of the actual chemical battery. It has a wire which comes out the bottom of your camera and you can plug it in for constant power. The A5100 actually has a little access hole built into the battery door to allow for the wire to go through it. It's a good solution for fixed position cameras in a studio or desktop environment. (It's also a requirement for the a5100 if you don't want the camera to overheat. Chemical batteries get hot during use.)
hey man, i have 2 different sony a5100 and i even bought a new dummy battery from a different company - but my sony a5100 still overheats even though not recording and doing video capture to pc via hdmi. I'm wondering if there is some setting I am using that makes this happen. if you got any ideas id love to hear them
@@jamesm1939 I've never had that happen. Here are a few thoughts, (please ignore any you've already addressed): -Does it happen with both cameras? -Are you shooting in a very hot environment? (I've had mine running during hot Summer days, but not in direct sun and there was decent air flow.) -Are you keeping the screens flipped up? They can hold heat in the camera if they're closed. -Are you sure it's overheating and not just doing an auto-shut off (to save battery)? You might try checking those options. -I find the dummy battery power supplies are a little weak; if I try turning the cameras on with the HDMI plugged in, they sometimes don't have enough juice to power up. I need to power up the camera before plugging in the HDMI cable. (This is weird, because sometimes it's not an issue.) -Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth are turned off. Those chips consume power and contribute to heat. -Don't even put a memory card in the slot. Any less mass means more airflow. -I keep the camera set to the 'movie' option. (I do this, because it provides the best output HDMI quality for some reason. It makes a huge difference, between smooth and grainy. Maybe there's some heat savings in there?) That's all I can think of. Hopefully some of it might help. Cheers, and good luck!
Still use mine constantly. I just got the 55-210 finally and am really excited to do some street photography work. I have prints as big as 12x18 on my wall that impress even the other photo buffs in my life.
I bought a sigma DC DN with a plan to upgrade to an aps c with ibis, but that lens turned my a5100 into a stills beast. Haven't even tried to record yet, but the results are promising. It's the first interchangeable lens camera I purchased, and I never regretted it.

I bought my first long ago. I bought another used one a couple years ago. I bought my daughter a used one. I have a useful collection of lenses. I also have a a6400 when i need better video. The a5100 is my absolute favorite. I may eventually add a zve10 as i agree that it's the closest replacement. I mostly use the ttartisan 25/f2, with occasional use of the Sigma 18-50, and even the 16-50 kit lens. It still kicks axx in 2024.
I recently bought this camera 2nd hand as it was very cheap , soon realised that it was the perfect camera for my needs, I use a camera for taking photos, no video. I travel and need a compact, easy to use,hold and not too complicated. I paired it with a 16-50 pancake lens and it is great to carry, very small, has a significant range of zoom , has a pretty wide 24mm wide lens, its light. People dont even notice you are taking pics and assume my camera is a compact job. Its great for my use , ive had em5,em10, stylus 1,g85 and was never happy with the photos , they were always either too bright or too dark in the shadows, could never get any m43 cameras to produce the pics i wanted, the a5100 on the other hand i pretty much leave on auto and 95 percent are quite usable...
Got one new for a smoking $299. If you're just an enthusiast that is not satisfied with the pictures from your phone, no matter how pricey your phone was, get one. You will not be sorry. There's a plethora of lenses available. I even used with FE mount lenses, and results are awesome. But don't ignore the kit zoom lens, it is the perfect match to keep things small and portable and the quality of the pictures is high.
My a5100 is my webcam, I hardly move it anywhere else. However it came with me on a trip abroad early 2023 and was great for taking along on outings due to the small size.
Photography first its plenty fine. Loves to overheat in minutes for video (or at least mine does). I don't think it was ever really intended to DO video though.
It's such a big frustration that it overheats so quickly. Makes it a hard camera to recommend for video. Thankfully it doesn't overheat when live streaming.
@@ArronPrescott hey, my sony a5100 overheats whilst livestreaming - via hdmi (not recording on camera). I've tried using a different a5100 and different dummy battery and this still happens. Any idea why?
i got mine last week for 11,000 THB, it came with a 16-50 kit lens, a rubber body shield (happy overheating!), a screen protector, and a 1-year warranty. that's 313 USD. i bought it to use lenses like the Fijian 35mm 1.7 (CCTV) and some TTArtisan lenses. all manual. all full glass/metal built. awesome results.
I have this camera for years and while I love it for close up- makeup photography with ring light it's not doing so well with darkness or too much sunlight. Being in Texas the weather is never predictable. Should I get the canon or what can I do to fix this problem with sony?
Thanks for your review. I was just looking up sony cameras in the used market for my video needs. The pros outweigh the cons so I guess I'll go ahead and buy one. :)
Thank you for this Review. I still have this (bought it in 2018) and still use it even I have other cameras which are latest than this. I love how it comes in handy, compact and easy to use. :)
Your colors in this video amazing❤ The price difference between used a5100 and zv10 in Poland more than 3 times. The same apsc matrix and processor overweight 3,5 mm jack and 4k of zv10. Shooting with kit lens, but waiting for get money for sigma 16mm 1,4 - the picture is so promising and that bokeh, ahh🤤
Great video! Thank you. 🙏 I bought it yesterday, brand new on a physical store, for 252 dolars (231€). Last one... For my needs I think it is just the right one! I don't like to waste much time taking pictures and I'm not very patient, so the camera does it perfectly for me, I just have to push the button! Being light and small it's also a plus!
I bought this camera a few years ago and I found recently I thought it was not that good but I bought for 20 dollars from a yard sales from some old couple I don’t know anything about camera I thought it looked cool but thank you for reviewing it helped me understand this camera 👍🏾
These are becoming kind of like a cult classic. I looked all over offer up and marketplace, and everyone selling it in my local area were charging $350+. I figured it wasn't worth it so I spent the extra 350 to get a zve10 brand new that does 4k 30 and 1080 120, along with not having to roll the dice on the a5100s over heating problem. I know an extra $350 is a big price jump, but for someone that wants to just buy 1 product and have it last half their life, I think I made the right decision Edit: those prices where with after market stuff they wanted to bundle in, like a lense that I didn't want, or extra batteries, selfy sticks etc.
Dood choose, zv10 good camera. I use recorder instead 3,5 mm jack. And when I was filming on my iPhone in 4k, I could crop image when editing in 1080p for transition in my talking head videos, so I can't do it with 5100 now. How above overheating with zv10?
Great video! I've only started making videos and my wife had this camera stashed away, so I've nicked it 😁 For me, a very very inexperienced camera user, I'm in love with it!
Im actually building a mobile video podcast kit with 3 - a5100 cameras and atem mini I wanted a lightweight kit I can carry around . And 3 of these cameras with 6 lenses (3 attached, 3 loose) fit in one bag nicely . Still a great camera, I do a bit of color correction tho.
Hi, congratulations on the channel. I would like to get a a5100 to use as a fixed cam connected to Mac with a video card to record me for paid video courses. I would only use it for this. In your opinion is it good for this? Will the video quality be good? Excuse my English
Thanks so much for being such a great resource :) I was looking to buy a mirrorless to mount to a downshooter for photographing 2d hand drawn animation at home and found a deal on this camera nearby..would you recommend this for that purpose? Thanks and all the best!
THANK YOUUUUUUU just pulled this bad boy out of my wife's closet, knew nothing about it and was hoping to use it for video. After watching this you got me pumped> Thanks for all the info!
@@TheArtofMar when using as webcam no (de)coding to a format is required. So no big task; it just sends a copy of the display to the mini-hdmi port. So no overheating. If you film at a fixed location you can try to place some fans behind it.
Not really. The best solution for IBIS in this class of camera is to not bother with the a5100 at all and just get a Panasonic G85 or GX85. Similar price range and specs, and the IBIS on the Panasonic is gorgeous.
@@IAMMIKEO Yeah, from all reports, that's true. Panasonic doesn't have great auto-focus. I don't bother with it though; I use prime lenses 95% of the time. Just set the focus for vlogging at a comfortable arm's length, or set to infinity. Typically, I just use the little Sony HDR AS-300 (or FDR x-3000 if you want 4k) for walking/talking videos. They're getting expensive, though, on eBay. I'm glad I picked mine up back when they were still producing them. For studio stuff, the a5100 with a prime lens is great; just put your subjects in chairs and lock the camera. But some types of media really benefit from auto focus, and that's where the more expensive cameras become useful. I hope you find what you're looking for!
Im still choosing on wether to buy the a5100 or the a6000 was going to buy thr a6000 but its too expensive so i think i might have to go with the a5100
PLEASE HELP! I'm torn between a5100 with 8k shutter count and almost brand new condition vs a6000 with 41k shutter count with issue of stiff mode dial and have signs of use. The price is about the same. But which one should i choose? Please help me. I hope someone would chime in. Thanks in advance.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for a camera? My budget is around $600 USD and I’m looking to upgrade from my Nikon D3100. Looking for something to primarily shoot photos with and I shoot street photography and portraits.
Me: "He should give us some streaming footage of that camera instead of using his professional solution." Arron: "...haven been taken using the 5100" 😅🙈 Thank you for the video, very helpful :) Is there a big difference between the 5000 and the 5100?
Yes, a huge difference - the 5100 is a big upgrade on the 5000. the 5100 has nearly the same specs as the 6000 (minus the EVF), and it also has a touchscreen.
I have been using my smartphone for my photography, which gives me pretty good photos but it has limitations. I am looking to buy either an a5100 or a6000 used. Which one would you recommend? Thanks.
PIcked one up a few months ago. No problems overheating using for 20-30 mins filming clips. Colors could be better filming in studio but this can be fixed, outdoors colors are much better out of camera. Got some great portraits using Sony 35mm 1.8 lens
Been getting paid using one of these with a couple different lenses. I've had my company's manufacturing partners wondering where we got some of our stock photos, only to realize I took them using this and a bounce card made with tinfoil.
I am having problem sending my photo to my buy a Samsung usb to Pc , and also doesn’t contact in my phone ( iPhone, 13) the only thing working it’s remote control if I will take a picture straight away is it gonna go to phone 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Anyone still using this legendary camera in 2023? Let me know!

Is there an affordable lens that would offset the shaky video due to no IBIS?

sir i have sony camera 6100 , which lens is best for video graphy under 20k
Can anyone tell me if i could pair this camera to Rode wireless go?
Me: "He should give us some streaming footage of that camera instead of using his professional solution."
Arron: "...haven been taken using the 5100"
😅🙈 Thank you for the video, very helpful :)
Is there a big difference between the 5000 and the 5100?
Yes, a huge difference - the 5100 is a big upgrade on the 5000. the 5100 has nearly the same specs as the 6000 (minus the EVF), and it also has a touchscreen.
Not a good option for line streaming, it doesn' have a clean HDMI output
Does anyone know how to update the firmware on mac in 2024?
I have been using my smartphone for my photography, which gives me pretty good photos but it has limitations. I am looking to buy either an a5100 or a6000 used. Which one would you recommend? Thanks.
A5100 has a touchscreen but no EVF. A6000 has EVF but not a touchscreen. A5100 is a bit smaller and lighter. otherwise they're pretty similar!
@@Soup-Dragon1 Thanks.
I love this camera. I am never selling it. :)
PIcked one up a few months ago. No problems overheating using for 20-30 mins filming clips. Colors could be better filming in studio but this can be fixed, outdoors colors are much better out of camera. Got some great portraits using Sony 35mm 1.8 lens
should i buy sony a5100 or canon m100?
That camera is still my favorite
When u said it has limited manual controls, what exactly are those??
Usually pro camera has 3 knobs to control ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. This camera has only one knob.
Been getting paid using one of these with a couple different lenses. I've had my company's manufacturing partners wondering where we got some of our stock photos, only to realize I took them using this and a bounce card made with tinfoil.
Is 200 quid too much for these now?
how is this camera compare to a6100?
Just bought a brand-new one at the PX for 335.59 seems like a deal
Everytime I see a used camera in a youtube video, the price rises or even double at the MPB !
It's sad that Sony didn't make a successor for the A5xxx series.
I'm still hoping they will! Though I think the closest we'll get is the ZV-E10
well, bcs of your video, iam going to buy one :)
Nice video❤
Very nice & cheap camera, I use it in 2023))
There's a way to hack the camera to get clean hdmi out put gust surch a5100 hacked clean hdmi out put you should cover it
