My friend wants to buy one of these 3 cameras, can you help her decide please?
Squeeze juuust a little bit more and buy the a6100 which has far better AF than any of them plus 4k video. Also she will need better lens than the kit ones

Does not going full-frame kneecap my business potential?
While I think the a6100 is going to bottleneck you a bit (it's simply not modern, it's slow, events need you to react fast, the battery is small, it's built with mostly plastic, there's only one card slot), I do think you can try out newer photo editing tools. I swear the modern AI denoise tools I h

Is it worth going with the EOS R50 over the EOS R100?
It depends on what you want to do, how much you might spend in the future, and if you are okay with buying used: The a6100 is a very similar camera to the R50 - both of them have a plastic body, good autofocus, decent video, and very similar image quality. The design of the body is different of cour

Tiny m43 camera appreciation post (GM1/GM5/GX800)
Stumbled across this in the year 2026 and man do I wish I could grab a GX850 for $200. These days they're around $450-500 for just the body. That's more than any of the slightly larger Olympus PEN Lite bodies, even the newest E-PL10 from 2020! While the GX850 is has 4K video and has a flip up screen

OG Sony A7 for videography?
The A7 has worse video features than even the A6000. Probably better get a used ZV-E10 or A6100/6400 for the much better AF and cheaper APS-C lenses (a fast prime from sigma/viltrox/etc + the kit lens maybe) and try to still have some budget left for lighting and other accessories

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! July 28, 2025
Hey everyone, I’m thinking about getting the Sony Alpha 6100 mainly for street photography and travel. I currently use an iPhone 14, which is convenient and fast, but I’m honestly not satisfied with the image quality. The photos often feel overly processed, and I miss having more depth, natural dyna

What’s a good camera to use???
When starting out I wondered the same thing. I decided on a Sony a6100 since it was affordable and can hold it's own against more expensive options. I've been very happy with it. You might also consider Sony ZV-E10. The biggest thing though is the lens choice. The one that comes with the a6100 is fi
