Product details

Capture special moments and portraits. The impressive image quality and speed based on full-frame model technology means you can leave the work to the camera.
With the α6100 you won't miss a thing.

The continuous, uniform focus on moving motifs is indispensable for capturing important moments - whether it is a sporting event or an everyday situation. Sony's sophisticated1 motif tracking algorithm, based on artificial intelligence, therefore processes enormous amounts of spatial data in real time and at high speed.

Autofocus with real-time eye detection tracks your subject's eyes even when the subject is moving, backlit, looking down, or part of the face is covered. You can focus the left or right eye.

Sony's innovative eye recognition algorithms are suitable for taking pictures of animals and people. In this way, sharply focused animal portraits and beautiful wildlife shots succeed.

The large autofocus range is based on dense arrangements with 425 points for phase detection and 425 points for contrast detection for much more precise detection. The latest generation fast image processor provides an impressive acquisition speed of 0.02s, while modern algorithms anticipate the subject's position.

Due to the fast internal processing and the large memory buffer, continuous shooting at up to 11 fps with subsequent display or 8 fps with real-time preview with minimal display delay is possible. Capture up to 77 JPEG images (standard) in succession.

When absolute silence is required, e.g. at live events or animal portraits, the α6100 can record up to 8 frames per second6 without noise - with AF/AE tracking activated, even in AF-C mode, with autofocus with eye detection in real time or real-time tracking.

Spiegel TestsDigitalkameras für Einsteiger im TestReleaseJuly 2024

"Sony macht es den Kunden nicht leicht, den Durchblick zu behalten. Es gibt eine ganze Reihe von Kameras aus der 6000er-Serie. Sie alle sind mit kleinen APS-C-Sensoren bestückt, die teuren Modelle mit größerem Sensor tragen bei Sony einstellige Nummern. Zur Verwirrung trägt bei, dass Sony ältere Kameras (vergünstigt) weiter im Markt lässt, auch wenn es Nachfolgemodelle gibt...
