DPR: Sony a6100 Best Camera Under $1,000 Plus It Is Still Discounted

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 10, 2020


Sony’s flagship cameras often get all the attention, but the Sony a6100 is a great value especially now that it is discounted $150 everywhere B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama. DPR really likes this camera due to its ease of use, but recommends the Fujifilm X-T30 if you prefer more manual controls.

In addition to taking great photos, the a6100 has one of the simplest and most powerful autofocus systems we’ve tested, especially in this class of camera. Selecting your subject is easy, and the camera’s ability to track moving people is phenomenal. – DPR
