Sony Alpha 5100 ￡549: Is the new A5100 the most advanced entry-level APS-C sensor-sized camera we've ever seen?

摘要

Sony's latest Compact System Camera model, the Sony Alpha 5100, features some of the Japanese firm's latest technology, including the 24.3-million-pixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, with an ISO sensitivity range of 100-25,600, and the Bionz X processor seen in the more advanced Sony Alpha 6000. That camera's hybrid AF with 179 points has also made it inside the Alpha 5100's compact frame, which can deliver super-fast auto focusing - as quick as 0.06 seconds - making it one of the fastest cameras currently on the market. Rather than updating the Sony Alpha 5000 released earlier this year, the introduction of the A5100 replaces the Sony NEX-5T, the final NEX-branded camera in the compact range, which is now discontinued. This move finally consolidates all Sony's E-mount Compact System Cameras and Alpha-mount SLT's under the Sony Alpha branding.
