Is the Sony A6100 the best crop-sensor, mirrorless to start with? With so many other A-series cams, which one should you buy? I take a look at the A6100 and explain why you might want this camera over the other Sony options. See all my gear including what was used to make this video via https://kit.co/rayortega

In my opinion, the A6100 is the newest entry level camera for video makers who want to film with Sony cameras. It has all the best features I'm looking for in a camera for vlogging, YouTube, family or travel video: compact size, flip screen, microphone input with a good preamp for clean audio, and decent low light capabilities.

The older entry level Sony Alpha cameras (A5100 and A6000) were great cameras for video but they lacked a microphone input (A5100) or a flip screen (A6000) as well, they were prone to overheating and didn't shoot 4K. All of these factors are why I would spend more to get the A6100.

Compared to the A6300, discontinued but can be bought used, the A6100 lacks picture profiles (SLOG2 etc) and doesn't have a metal body but does have a touchscreen for touch to focus, better autofocus in video, cheaper price and a flip screen.

The A6500 has in body image stabilization (IBIS) which the A6100 lacks but has no real advantage besides also having picture profiles. If I was considering the A6500 I would go up to the A6600 instead and get all the recent upgrades including a flip screen together with IBIS.

Overall, the A6100 is a solid entry level camera for shooting video and you could build an entire YouTube channel without the need to upgrade for several years. I don't imagine many people who are looking to get into video would be disappointed with the purchase of the A6100.
