About the Sony A5100 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens

The Sony A5100 is a small, lightweight mirrorless camera that delivers DSLR-quality images thanks to its 24.3-megapixel APS-C sensor. It uses the same fast hybrid autofocus system as Sony's higher-end models, with 179 phase-detection points for quick, accurate focusing on moving subjects. The 3-inch touchscreen flips up 180 degrees, making it ideal for selfies and vlogging, and the camera records Full HD video at 60p. This kit includes the retractable Sony 16-50mm power zoom lens, which keeps the camera compact when powered off. With built-in Wi-Fi for easy sharing and a range of creative modes, the A5100 is a great step up from a smartphone or compact camera.
