Sony has been ramping up a lot of its marketing efforts on its α cameras these days, meet the α5100, the successor to the already capable and portable α5000, except that this time it has a super fast Hybrid AF system and a new chassis design. Not only that, The new α5100 offers crisp, blur-free action shots, pocketful portraits and endless selfies with the latest 24.3 megapixels Exmor™ CMOS sensor and recording capability to capture smooth, cinematic Full HD movies.
Nothing gets past the blazing Fast Hybrid AF system of the α5100, the same that can be found in the α6000, with 179 phase detection points that freeze rapid action, frame after crisply-focused frame. Sony’s latest-generation Exmor™ CMOS sensor with 24.3 effective megapixels guarantees flawless detail and textures. As big as the APS-C sensor in larger DSLR cameras, it’s teamed with the same powerful BIONZ X image processor featured in the acclaimed α7 Series. You’ll see the difference with fabulous refinement and low-light sensitivity, whether you’re shooting stills or movies.
The α5100 is a money for value mirrorless camera that borrows some features from the α6000 while priced affordably at the price of RM2399 with a E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens and RM3,199 for the additional E55-210mm F4.5-6.3 twin kit lens, it is already available at all Sony Stores and authorized dealers nationwide.
