Sony Alpha a5000 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera photos

By

Check out our review of the Sony Alpha a5000 digital camera.

The Alpha a5000, which will eventually replace the NEX 3 series and signifies a new naming convention for Sony’s high-end cams (the NEX name will disappear), is a 20.1-megapixel APS-C camera and the latest Bionz X image processor that handles area-specific noise reduction and diffraction reduction; it also allows for an ISO of up to 16,000. There’s Wi-Fi for image sharing or remote control, plus NFC for quick pairing if you have an Android device that supports it. There’s a more substantial grip, and the LCD tilts all the way up (as with the NEX 3-series before it), so you can take those oh-so-important selfies.

what is sony a7siii everything you need to know a7s iii announced the iiii 10

After years of speculation with nary a peep out of Sony with regards to the much-loved A7S line (the A7S II launched five years ago), there's finally a new camera. Sony has loaded this latest iteration with some of the most impressive video-focused capabilities we’ve seen in a compact camera body. With a strong emphasis on 4K, Sony is positioning the $3,500 A7S III not just as a low-light powerhouse, but as the most capable video camera in its segment.

“The A7S II is purpose-built to make wonderful video and low light photography,” Mark Weir, the Senior Technology Manager for Sony Digital Imaging, told Digital Trends. “It shows how Sony has taken feedback from end-users to update and improve user experience overall.”

Panasonic takes on Sony in the vlogging camera game with compact Lumix G100
panasonic lumix g100 vlogging camera announced table top

The Sony ZV-1 was not a fluke. Vloggers are taking over, and camera manufacturers are reaching for this new market.

Panasonic charged into the vlogging game Wednesday, June 24, with the new Lumix G100, a compact mirrorless camera built for the modern content creator. Like the recently introduced Sony ZV-1, the G100 includes a number of features specifically for the niche vlogger market. But where the ZV-1 was essentially a point-and-shoot, the G100 is part of the Micro Four Thirds system, complete with a larger, 20-megapixel sensor and interchangeable lenses.

Sony A6100 vs. Fujfilm X-T200: Best beginner mirrorless cameras compared
fujifilm x t200 review product dm 1500px10

The Fujifilm X-T200 and Sony A6100 both target the beginner photographer, but despite being entry-level cameras, they have some features we would expect to find on flagship models. That's great news for those on a tighter budget who still want a capable camera that will last for years. But when it comes to picking between the two, which is one the better investment?

Before the X-T200, the Sony A6100 easily trounced the older Fujifilm X-T100. While image quality was more or less equal, the A6100 was the better camera in almost all other aspects save design (which is more of a personal preference, anyway). But with the X-T200, Fujifilm has placed a true competitor on the board -- so much so, we can no longer say that the A6100 is the easy choice.
