Rent NowThe Sony a6100 with 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens is an APS-C mirrorless camera kit designed for photographers and content creators who want a compact, versatile, travel-friendly system paired with a lightweight everyday zoom. It’s aimed at enthusiasts and hybrid shooters who want strong autofocus and 4K video performance carried over from Sony’s full-frame lineup, packaged in an accessible entry point into Sony’s E-mount system.
At the core of the a6100 is a 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor paired with Sony’s BIONZ X image processor and a front-end LSI, technology implemented in Sony’s full-frame cameras, delivering across-the-board enhancements to image quality and speed for both photo and video capture. The camera offers an ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to 51200 for stills), along with what Sony describes as the world’s fastest autofocus acquisition at 0.02 seconds. Real-time Tracking keeps moving subjects in constant, steady focus, while AI-based subject recognition enables real-time Eye AF for both humans and animals, useful for photographing pets and wildlife in addition to people.
Continuous shooting reaches up to 11fps in “Hi+” mode or 8fps in “Hi” mode with full AF/AE tracking, and the camera supports 14-bit RAW capture for strong color and tonal range in post-processing. Video capability includes 4K recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning for detailed, high-resolution footage. Handling centers on a 3.0-inch, 921K-dot tilting XtraFine LCD with WhiteMagic technology for easier viewing in bright outdoor conditions, tilting 180 degrees upward and 74 degrees downward for flexible high- and low-angle framing.
The bundled Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens is a retractable, powered zoom lens measuring just 1.18 inches when collapsed, making it a genuinely compact, travel-friendly kit lens. It covers a 35mm-equivalent focal range of approximately 24-75mm, spanning wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives suited to everyday and travel shooting, with one extra-low dispersion element and four aspherical elements helping reduce chromatic aberrations while improving clarity and sharpness. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps minimize camera shake by up to four shutter-speed steps, and the Power Zoom electronically driven mechanism provides smooth, precise control over the zoom position, well suited to video work.
Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC for wireless image transfer and remote camera control, and the a6100 uses Sony’s E-mount lens system, giving access to Sony’s full range of native APS-C and full-frame E-mount lenses as photographers look to expand their kit over time.
