Sony Alpha a6100
A 425-point phase-detection autofocus system with Real-time Eye AF for humans and animals gives this compact APS-C mirrorless a distinct edge in subject tracking. Oversampled 4K video and a tilting touchscreen add versatility, while its light, portable body suits everyday carry. It's best for hobbyist photographers and vloggers needing responsive autofocus for capturing kids, pets, and casual action, but not for work requiring stabilization or weather sealing.
