A small camera that is perfect for traveling and VLOG'ing, definitely bang for the buck. The only downside I could find is the grip, it feels like it is going to fall out your hand, even though it is highly unlikely due to the materials used.

My daughter is happy with the new camera and she use it every day

Awesome photos in auto mode, and it performs well even in the dark. Think this is the most affordable camera under 5000 kr.

Great bang for your buck. The camera is compact and lightweight, which is going to be great for traveling, and has a sensor vastly superior to anything you can find on a similarly priced point-and-shoot. I love that you can use it with the full range of E-mount lenses.

Impressive video capture performance; Tough body; Good image quality and AF speeds

Touchscreen performance not as comprehensive as competitors; No microphone socket

One of the smallest, lightest and most affordable mirrorless cameras currently offered with an APS-C sensor, and sharing the same imaging pipeline as the Sony A6000, the Sony A5100 has few rivals in terms of offering good quality for the price.

Comfortable to hold; Compact with 16-50mm lens; Good image quality and colour; DRO and HDR modes; Quick focus and shutter response; Sony PlayMemories Apps available; 6fps with continuous AF; Wi-Fi and NFC; Low noise

Have to pay for additional features as "apps" that are free with other cameras: Time-lapse; Multiple-exposure; Multi Frame NR etc; Strong noise reduction; Kit lens not the best

Potentially great quality from 24 Mpixel sensor; Great continuous AF for photos and movies; 6fps continuous shooting with large bursts; Tilting touch-screen which can face subjects; Powerful but easy to use Wifi with NFC

To exploit 24 Mpixels; you'll need a better lens; No viewfinder nor any means to connect one; Need to boost screen brightness for outdoor use; Basic exposure control and no GPS tagging via Wifi; No miniature effect for movies

The A5100 may be Sony's mirrorless middle child, but it's a great value.
