The A5100 is now a first class talking head video camera. Great for vlogs, b-roll and webcam. Pair this with an Elgato Cam Link and you have the perfect hi-res webcam for Zoom Video conferences. My Sony A5100 is 5 years old and is still going strong. Great mirrorless camera and now is very very affordable...👍👍👍

I use it for KZbin vids as my main camera it's great, yup we're all skint here in the UK, so for me this was an expensive bit of kit but we'll worth it, I use a dummy battery and a capture card with it, so it can stay on for as long as you like without over heating shut offs, because it's not using the camera to film, it's just relaying the image to your software, OBS in my case, it's a great camera for the particular use that I purchased it for, perfect.

I have had the a5100 for about 6 years now. It has been a wonderful camera until honestly the last months. The camera is no longer focusing well. everything is blurry or slightly out of focus. I have no changed any settings (im not very camera savvy so i usually leave it on Intelligent auto or superior auto). Im not sure if the lense itself is going bad or if it is a camera issue (has standard lens that came with camera). Ive tried doing a camera factory setting reset with no real improvement. Not sure what the issue is so debating do i spend money on a replacement lens or flat out replace the camera
@Mimixorock3 жыл бұрын
I think you should just replace it as whole and look at buying the Sony a6100 , because the a6000 is discontinued , you can only buy the camera with lens until it’s completely finished.
