Full Specification and Review Sony Alpha 5100

Sony Alpha 5100 - Camera Sony Alpha 5100 comes with a contour design similar to its predecessor NEX series, understandably, the manufacturer Sony for digital camera does not like to have his latest alerts outside of what has been previously made, including design specifications, owned this camera. There is the main control for the rear and side of the top.

Sony Alpha 5100 was the result of a merger between camera NEX-3 and NEX-7T, with some features that owned Alpha 5100 trying to be a camera that is a notch above it that is the Sony Alpha 6000. So does that mean it has the A5100 specs are roughly similar in some of the major components.

Some of the things that differentiates between Alpha 5100 with NEX-7T is a sensor that is used that is 24 Megapixels as 6000, while Alpha NEX-7T only 16 megapixels. In addition, the Bionz processor usage X phase detection AF area is more extensive and better video quality being the main differentiator between camera Sony Alpha NEX-7T and 5100.

That looks physically while another differentiator and can be identified easily is Alpha 5100 has been equipped with a built-in flash, whereas his predecessor still use an external flash.

The use of a 24-megapixel CMOS sensor that carried alpha 5100, Bionz processor usage then-X, then an On-chip Phase detection that covers 92% of the frames and the adoption of Wi-Fi with NFC certainly makes this camera really have a thin difference with Alpha 6000 and can be regarded as competitors.

For camera Sony Alpha 5100 LCD tilt can be positioned up to 180 degrees and above, this can you guess its function for air-selfie. As Alpha 6000, it's just the angle tilted upwards just 90 degrees and down to 45 degrees.

Sony Alpha 5100 has the kamampuan specs video recording full HD 1080/60 p, but has supported video codecs A5100 XAVC S, it allows the camera to maximize the rate of 50Mbps bit, consequently video recording at 720 p can with higher resolution.

Although most of the specification between Alpha and Alpha 5100 6000 is the same, but each camera targeted at different user. It can be seen from the existence of the EVF, hot-shoe and additional physical control on Alpha 6000 that is not found in the Alpha 5100, in other words Alpha 6000 devoted to fan type camera interchangeable system.

While the camera Sony Alpha 5100 only have additional control keys in the back of the camera showed that Alpha 5100 is a camera targeted to new users or entry level. But it does not cover the possibility of this camera used by professional photographers, because a very significant improvement has been made in the hybrid system autofocus.

Although the 25 point detection part of the system remain the same with the NEX-7T, however the number of point phase detection has already increased from 99 to become 179. It provides a wider coverage area up to 92% of the frame if compared to 50% in Nex-7T.

The benefits that could be drawn from the wider coverage is a phase detection autofocus can do tracking a moving subject better. With the availability of this feature then moving or shooting objects moving very, very possible this camera.

Moreover, support to ISO sesitivitas 26500, will certainly make the AF tracking owned this camera was able to coordinate with the BIOZ X processor to make better pictures in combination with sensor type CMOS.

Proof of this feature We try to do a shooting immobile objects but the camera brought runs, the result is quite good. As well as the reverse, the camera still and moving objects, AF tracking, owned as it has been expressed previously had the ability to record good enough.

While using video shooting mode We haven't done the exploration of deeper, however the combination of recording between memory, sensors and processors can work well.

Oya, at least there are 9 features that became the pre-eminent ranging from connectivity to sensors, and they continuously to produce the best possible image quality. 9 of these features is the Sensor APS-C CMOS Sensor 24 MP, Bionz Image Processor X, Hybrid AF System with 25 contrast detection as well as 179 point phase-detection focusing, 6fps continuous shooting with subject tracking, flipup LCD measuring 3 inches, the built-in Flash GN4, Full HD 1080/60 p and 24 p supported XAVAC S, Simultaneous Video recording 1080 p and 720 p then connectivity WiFi and NFC.

Unfortunately, we could not expose the whole of these features, in general the specification camera Sony Alpha 5100 has many advantages and is worth to a professional camera with a biting and professional users as well as entry level and amateurs.
