Rent NowThe Sony Alpha a5100 with 16-50mm Lens (Black) is a compact, versatile APS-C mirrorless camera kit designed for photographers and multimedia creators who want the speed of a hybrid AF system and solid video capability in a genuinely pocketable body. It pairs Sony’s a5100 camera with a retractable power zoom lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot setup well suited to travel, everyday photography, and casual video work.
At the core of the a5100 is a 24.3MP APS-C Exmor HD CMOS sensor paired with Sony’s BIONZ X image processor and a gapless on-chip lens design, delivering strong image quality along with notable sensitivity up to ISO 25600. Continuous shooting reaches up to 6fps, and Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF system combines 179 phase-detection points with 25 contrast-detection points for quick, accurate autofocus in both stills and video shooting. Full HD 1080p video recording is supported in the high-quality XAVC S codec at up to 50Mbps, with frame rate options of 60, 30, or 24fps, along with manual focus peaking and zebra functions for photographers who want more precise exposure and focus control during video capture.
Handling centers on a 3.0-inch, 921.6k-dot LCD monitor featuring a 180-degree upward-tilting design, allowing for easier composing from both front-facing selfie angles and low shooting positions. The screen is also touch-enabled, offering intuitive control over image playback, menu navigation, shutter release, and touch-to-focus for pinpoint autofocus accuracy. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC support allows for wireless remote camera control and quick image sharing to a linked smartphone or tablet.
The bundled Sony E 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS retractable power zoom lens delivers a 35mm-equivalent focal range of approximately 24-75mm on the a5100’s APS-C sensor, spanning wide-angle through portrait-length framing well suited to everyday and travel shooting. Its collapsible, compact barrel design keeps the kit genuinely pocket-friendly, while built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization helps counteract camera shake for sharper handheld results. As a fully interchangeable-lens camera, the a5100 uses Sony’s E-mount lens system, giving photographers access to Sony’s full range of native APS-C and full-frame E-mount lenses as they look to expand their kit over time.
