Sony Alpha a6100
The 24.2MP APS-C sensor and BIONZ X processor drive a 425-point phase-detection AF system capable of 0.02-second focusing and 30fps burst shooting. Real-time Eye AF operates in 4K 30fps video and stills, complemented by a tiltable touchscreen, OLED viewfinder, and external microphone port. Best suited for product and sports photographers who need fast, accurate autofocus in a compact body, though its 1002g weight makes it a poor travel companion.
