Sony A6100 Detailed Camera Review
Sony A6100 Detailed Review
Sony's latest entry-level mirrorless camera packs offer a range of specialized features to keep both novice consumers and geeks satisfied.
We have been reviewing the Sony A6600 for a few weeks now, which is the newest APS-C mirrorless camera in the industry. Now, it is time to require a better verify of the A6100, which is its entry-level relative. The A6100 was launched aboard the A6600 and shares tons of the premium options found in Sony's flagship model, however prices tons less.
It's designed to be associate degree entry-point to Sony's mirrorless camera lineup, and whereas it's principally targeted at casual shooters, it packs in enough advanced technical school to stay even enthusiasts happy. Priced at a small premium over the A6000, is that the A6100 value shopping for as a starter mirrorless camera? Let's place it to take a look at and ascertain.
Sony A6100 Style
The Sony A6100 is thinner than that of the A6600 and is, therefore, slimmer at 396 g. That is attributed to the usage of rubber rather than metal for the body. It still feels durable and well put-together however the marginally shiny end will devour fingerprints and smudges rather simply. The handle space has ample rubber protection however the grip itself does not protrude an excessive amount of, thus holding this camera well with massive hands may be a touch difficult.
On the top, the A6100 offers a hot-shoe for external flashes yet as an inherent pop-up Xe flash, a mode dial, and an effect dial. The shutter button and power on-off switch sit up-front on the proper, in conjunction with a customizable (C1) button.
Click and open images on new tab for full screen
At the rear, you get the corresponding degree electronic viewfinder (EVF) but the A6100 has a lower resolution of 1.44 million dots compared to the 2.35 million dot resolution EVF inside the A6600. you continue to get a proximity device to mechanically flip the EVF on or off after you bring the camera near to your face. we've some familiar-looking buttons at the rear, as well as a jog dial. The operate of the buttons, as well as the labeled ones, maybe remapped to fit your shooting vogue. The buttons have a rather mushy feel, particularly the directional ones. we'd have liked higher tactile feedback.
There's a flap on the left that covers a Micro-HDMI port, Micro-USB port, and 3.5mm mike input. there isn't any earpiece jack here, such as you get with the A6600. The rear 3-inch TFT liquid crystal {display|LCD|digital display|alphanumeric display} display includes a 921K dot resolution and might be leaning downward by seventy-four degrees or flipped a full a hundred and eighty degrees from the highest for taking selfies. The show itself has a sensible bit of response and gets adequately bright outdoors.
The battery compartment on rock bottom homes the NP-FW50 battery that we have seen in most different A-series cameras. Currently, the A6600 is the sole model within the series to use the higher-capacity Z-series battery. The A6100 includes a single memory card slot and solely supports American state cards at up to UHS-I speeds.
Sony is the mercantilism of the A6100 frame on its own or as a 16-50 mm optical lens package, that is, the one for which we would check the sensor. It is a compact lens that retracts once the camera is off and conjointly options a power-zoom on-off switch for swimmingly zooming in and out. there isn't any switch to toggle between automotive vehicle and manual focus, and you simply get one manageable ring. this may be used for zooming in too, but in manual focus mode, the ring is employed to regulate focus. The lens does not have an awfully massive zoom vary, and therefore the aperture varies is not very wide either, going from f/3.5 to f/5.6 at the telephotograph finish.
Overall, the A6100 has good biotechnology associate degreed is constructed well for an entry-level mirrorless camera. Compared to the A6600, it will feel less rugged, however, that is okay and should not be a giant issue for many individuals.
Sony A6100 Specifications And Options
The great thing for the A6100 is that, while being an entry-level device, it shares the features of its dearest relatives, the A6400 and hence the A6600. It uses a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS device with 425 part detection autofocus (PDAF) points and therefore the same range of distinction detection optical device points. This gives the estimated aim-acquisition period of only 0.02 seconds. The A6100 can fire 11fps bursts of AE / AF chase. You furthermore might get period eye optical device for humans and animals, 4K recording with none pixel binning, and constitutional Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.
One of the aspects under which the A6100 varies from the A6600 is that there is a lack of 5-axis, in-body stabilization, which means that you need to put trust in the stabilization of the lens while firing. The native ISO varies is that the same, that is 100-32,000, but that may be extended solely until ISO 51,200, compared to 102,400 with the A6600. Jointly, the A6100 lacks specialized picture attributes such as S-Log2, S-Log3 and HLG for HDR frameworks. The buffer for burst shooting may be a bit smaller too, as it's capable of holding simply seventy-seven JPEGs or thirty-three RAW files.
The software system of the A6100 is more or less clone of what we tend to simply saw in our A6600 review. Settings for photos, videos, and network area units classified in tabs. you'll be able to add your most often used functions to a separate menu therefore they are simple to induce to. The touchscreen still cannot be employed in the menus, however, you'll be able to use it once previewing photos. It may be used as a touchpad for shifting the main focus purpose once you are mistreatment the EVF. The A6100 can be used with the Android or iOS with Imaging Edge software to remotely move images or control the device.
Sony A6100 performance and battery life
We were expecting the Sony A6100's ISO performance to be the same as what we got from the A6600, considering that they need constant device and ISO vary. Details are sharp, colors are spirited, and there's barely any visible noise even at a 100 percent crop until concerning ISO 800. we start to visualize slight degradation thoroughly as we approach ISO 6,400, with some noise beginning to seem on the colored parts of the pencils.
At ISO 25,600, details get a bit fuzzy, edges are not terribly distinct any longer, and there is visible grain within the image. At the utmost native ISO of 33,000, details area unit even fuzzier, and it is the same look that we tend to get from the A6600. If you fully should go higher, you'll be able to use the extended ISO vary, however, image quality takes an enormous hit.
The Sony A6100 is simple to handle due to its low weight, and it does not need a lot of effort to induce sensible shots. Focus is correct due to the always-on face and eye optical device systems, that are fast to recognize and lock on to human faces. If you would like the system to use eye AF for animals, then this must be modified manually within the system settings. similar to the A6600, the AI pursuit AF works brightly and that we managed to induce some sensible shots of little moving subjects, like birds, even at a high zoom level. we tend to primarily use the kit lens with the A6100, however, conjointly shot a number of our samples with AN 18-135mm camera lens that we tend to have.
Landscapes and close-up shots, beneath natural light-weight, looked superb. we tend to managed to induce superb details even in JPEGs, with spirited and correct colors further as superb natural depth. The A6100 is capable of taking some particular burst shots too, though since the buffer isn't massive and therefore the camera solely supports UHS-I speed Coyote State cards, there is a good bit of waiting time before you'll be able to review your photos. The show gets adequately bright once shooting inside, however outdoors, beneath daylight, we tend to found it best to use the EVF.
In low weight, the A6100 can search for a limited amount of light, but this is part of the fault of the lenses we used, which do not have a really large range. With sufficiently light around, the sensor always manages to hold the focus easily. Dark regions of a frame will look a bit creaky, particularly once shooting with a high ISO price, and this cannot be avoided if you wish a quick shutter in low light-weight.
The A6100 is incredibly competent for videos too. 4K videos look nice, with glorious detail and hues. Focusing is fast and therefore the touchscreen allows you to swimmingly transition focus between your subjects with ease. The S&Q (slow and quick) mode is nice for slow-motion and hyperlapse videos. The resolution is restricted to 1080p, however, you'll be able to go as high as 120fps (in NTSC mode). The optical device is slower in low light-weight, and that we detected a small amount of searching once attempting to modify subjects, however, we tend to guess this might be improved by employing a wider aperture lens.
Shooting millions of video or burst shots will take a toll on the battery. similar to most previous A6xxx series cameras (with the exception of the A6600), battery life is fairly average. The rated output is concerning 360 frames per charge, and with actual usage, we tend to manage to average a rather higher range of around four hundred shots per charge, that remains not nice. Thankfully, the battery will be charged employing a power bank ANd you'll be able to still use the camera whereas it's being power-driven by an external supply. It conjointly still takes a minute for the battery to charge, and yet again, it's unsatisfying to not have a USB Type-C port.
Verdict
Sony has priced the A6100 very well, compared to the dearer A6400 and A6600 models. The kit that Sony sent us with the 16-50mm lens formally prices Rs. 75,990, though it's on the market for nearer to Rs. 68,000 if you look on-line. With this, you get a number of the most effective of Sony's mirrorless technology while not having to pay upwards lakh 100000 Rupees, which may be a superb price proposition. the sole belongings you extremely lose out on, compared to the higher-end models, area unit the in-body stabilization, longer battery life, advanced image profiles, and high-resolution EVF. for many casual shooters, whom this camera is targeted at, none of those things ought to extremely be a deal-breaker.
We'd want a much wider buffer for rapid images, support for smaller memory cards, a Type-C connector, easy storage, and better battery life. However, considering the core options on provide, the A6100 remains superb price because it brings a number of Sony's flagship-level technology to a lot of approachable value purposes.

2019 CES Highlights: News Made by Ford, Toyota, Audi, and Other Automakers
Ah, the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show. The show auto writers love to hate has undeniably become an “It” show that can’t be missed, even if—like FCA—you have nothing particularly new or techy to unveil. Still, technology prevails, and again this year the central themes in the automotive halls centered broadly on topics including autonomy, connectivity, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, smart cities, and mobility for all. On display in what seems like millions of display booths spread across Las Vegas’ many convention halls and temporary buildings erected in parking lots are promising puzzle pieces needed to complete the aforementioned big pictures. We embedded three of our troops to bring you the following highlights.
Lots of pundits blame CES for the “death” of Detroit’s North American International Auto Show. There were indeed numerous car companies with booths or displays set up at CES, and a production car even made its global debut here (the second in history). But we continue to contend that CES is a tech show, not a car show, as the vast preponderance of automaker announcements will attest. Hyundai probably earned “Best Concept” honors in unveiling its crazy four-legged-and-wheeled Elevate concept covered under the Venture Capital segment below, but Audi, Byton, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota also made news and staged splashy press events at this year’s event.
Audi
Audi proposed leveraging its vehicles’ many onboard sensors to inform a reality game that translates the vehicle’s various lateral and longitudinal accelerations into a roller-coaster ride as experienced through virtual reality goggles. We fear the coaster rides may be pretty dull when crossing the Great Plains, but through subsidiary Audi Electronics Venture GmbH, a start-up called Holoride GmbH has started to commercialize this “new form of entertainment” via an open development platform. Audi demoed the concept with Marvel’s Avengers: Rocket’s Rescue Run, which was developed in conjunction with Disney Games and Interactive Experiences. Audi plans to eventually make the technology available to other automakers and content developers.
And not to be outdone by Mercedes-Benz’s bouncing GLE-Class crossover, Audi demonstrated the capabilities of its new A8 active suspension by using it to heighten the experience of watching one of those Marvel comic movie scenes where the supers destroy some hapless city’s infrastructure, bouncing, pitching, and rolling along with the action—a potentially welcome diversion when stuck in a stationary car in traffic or while recharging. If you’re wondering, the current A8’s electrical architecture doesn’t permit the suspension-system access an app like this would need, but a midcycle upgrade is expected in the 2021–22 time frame.
Byton
Byton showed the M-Byte at CES, but the electric SUV’s sleek styling takes a back seat to the 48.0-inch curved display that dominates the dash, making Tesla and Volvo screens look puny by comparison. If the glow cast by that enormous screen doesn’t give you enough info, the steering wheel itself has a 7.0-inch display, and an 8.0-inch touchpad screen sits between the two front seats.
Rear seats get entertainment screens, and the front seats can rotate inward up to 12 degrees to facilitate conversation when the car isn’t moving. The luxurious Byton M-Byte looks promising, and the automaker has set a debut date of mid-2019, but considering how long it’s taken other Tesla-challenging start-ups to actually produce cars for consumers to buy, we take that date with a grain of salt.
Ford
Ford announced its plans to roll out cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology for 2022. The system will be compatible with the coming 5G architecture but also works on existing 4G LTE and other cellular networks. Ford’s architecture leverages Qualcomm communications technology, which allows connected devices to communicate directly with one another even when out of range of a cell tower. A major benefit of C-V2X over other communications protocols like direct short-range communications (DSRC) is that pedestrians, cyclists, and so forth are more likely to carry a cell phone than a DSRC-enabled communications device so they will be better protected.
Hyundai
Hyundai announced plans to introduce a dedicated, modular electric platform (called E-GMP) by 2020. The automaker showcased a Style Set Free vehicle personalization concept that looked for all the world like an Apple Store where owners of future autonomous Hyundais could order things such as an onboard rowing machine. And a mobility ecosystem concept was floated in which clients could purchase mobility by the mile, by the minute, or by the megawatt. Few details have been hammered out as yet on that last one. Hyundai’s CRADLE (Center for Robotic-Augmented Design in Living Experiences) venture-capital subsidiary was founded in late 2017 and has already invested in 30 startups. But it was the team overseeing and coordinating with these companies that built and unveiled a crazy robotic walking car concept called Elevate, which we covered here.
Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz introduced its new CLA-Class and announced that its Freightliner Cascadia big-rig truck would be first to market offering SAE level 2 partial autonomy. The CLA-Class joins its mechanical twin, the A-Class, in democratizing Benz’s MBUX user interface to middle-class incomes, complete with gesture control and a digital assistant that responds to “Hey, Mercedes.” The Freightliner, meanwhile, brings the kinds of advanced driver aids we’re just beginning to take for granted—automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping, lane centering, adaptive cruise control, auto headlights and high-beams, auto wipers–to Class 8 trucks for the first time ever.

Automotive Connected Vehicle Technologies - Global Sector Overview and Forecast to 2035 (Q1 2021 Update)
Automotive Connected Vehicle Technologies – Global Sector Overview and Forecast to 2035 (Q1 2021 Update)
Summary
The World is moving towards a global network of connected products called The Internet of Things (IoT). Connecting products allows data about the way in which they are used, the locations, the frequency, the demographics of the users to be collected. It is here that the value lies. Big Data can better steer product design, environmental design and optimise’ the way we use our time, money and effort.
The car makes up just one aspect of this network. Data collected in this way is also informing marketing strategies and it is in this area that the activity is coming under more and more intense scrutiny and criticism. Although the Big Data aspect of IoT is where the likely revenue streams are, there is also arguably benefits to the consumers for having a’friction-minimised’ lifestyle. Where it can be, effort to switch from one task to another is reduced.
Though it can hardly be doubted that technology has revolutised the way we live our lives, some of the claimed benefits have strong counter arguments, given the phase of relearning required in many instances to do basic tasks. Where the new learning adds another layer of safety, particularly in the field of automotive, it is more difficult to dismiss the requisite upskilling.
However, there is a train of thought that some digitalisation is over-applied, often no clearer example can be seen than in the cabin of a vehicle, where a volume control dial has been switched out for touch-sensitive buttons.
Though automation, electrification and connectivity continue to be mega trends in the automotive industry, there are key concerns within these topics, namely that of security, infrastructure and cost. The very nature of networked products means interconnection and thus inter-reliance. The current communications infrastructure needs mobilisation of 5G roadmaps, which integrates the needs of the mobility sector. Similarly, current security measures will capitalise on the developing artificial intelligence technologies in order to prevent malicious attacks upon connected vehicles.
All that said, the technology juggernaut has no intention of stopping now and so we are embarking on a period of finding solutions for self-created problems. Networking will help offer different avenues to the most appropriate solution, based on the issue of the day.

First Drive: 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 4MATIC
SEATTLE, Washington — Pity the poor sedan. Cheap gas and shifting market demands mean that consumers who once loaded up the family four-door for that summer road trip are now packing crossovers and SUVs up to their panoramic sunroofs in people, gear, and pets. That’s bad news for automakers pushing smaller, lower three-box vehicles, so much so that Ford recently announced its decision to stop selling sedans altogether. Other automakers may soon follow.
But not Mercedes-Benz, who is banking on the success of its new entry-level model in sedan form. The new A-Class sedan will join the small CLA “four-door coupe” and GLA CUV in its U.S. showrooms starting early next year, completing a trio of sub-compact, premium vehicles targeted at bringing new young, mostly urban buyers into the Mercedes-Benz family from competing brands. The CLA, launched in 2013 and the previous Mercedes entry point, did this in droves, with over 50 percent of its buyers being first-time Benz owners that the German brand hopes will move up into its larger, more expensive products when they outgrow the A-Class lineup.
Riding on an all-new chassis with a short 107.4-inch wheelbase, the A220 is the U.S.’s first taste of a small traditional, three-box A-Class sedan. Equipped with MacPherson strut front suspension and a four-link rear suspension, the new chassis was optimized over the current CLA/GLA platform to provide improved noise, vibration, and harshness characteristics as well as more positive handling. This same chassis will underpin the new CLA and GLA models when they launch in the coming years and it’s all but certain that the sedan’s new 2.0-liter, 188-hp, 221 lb-ft turbocharged four-cylinder engine will also be shared with its siblings as the base engine in the United States, paired to the brand’s 7G-DCT dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Inside, the A220 looks every bit the premium car Mercedes-Benz wants it to be, with turbine-styled climate control vents and a free-standing, fully-digital instrument panel and display that is similar in appearance to the E-Class sedan. Both digital IP cluster and display are 7.0-inches in base configuration, or 10.25 inches if you select the $2,100 Premium Package, which also includes auto-dimming mirrors, Blind Spot Assist, and keyless start and entry among other features. Center stack switchgear and gloss black trim looks every bit as swanky as on MB’s more upscale models and the perforated and grained soft-touch plastic dash materials are very nicely fashioned.
Bigger news is the implementation of the brand’s new MBUX infotainment system, which makes its debut on the A-Class sedan and will go on to replace the current COMAND setup across the full line-up (next up to receive MBUX is the 2019 GLE, we’re told). The MBUX system does away with the old center-console mounted rotary controller in favor of a touchpad in its place and a touchscreen display on the center stack. That said, Mercedes is expecting that MBUX’s new voice command interface will ultimately be what most A-Class sedan owners use to input their demands.
Similar to other “smart” tech products, users call up the voice command system by saying “Hey, Mercedes…” and then giving a command in plain, conversational speech. Brand engineers say the artificial intelligence-enabled system is designed to understand more complex commands than your typical automotive interface. “Hey Mercedes, what is the meaning of life?” yields a thorough and thoughtful response from MBUX’s robo-woman voice and asking “Hey Mercedes, find an Italian restaurant in Seattle with at least four stars that is open at 9:00 pm,” as you might ask your iPhone’s resident personal assistant, Siri, is a viable request. What MBUX can’t change by voice is vehicle drive settings, such as ESC or active safety features, as a function of safety. We found the system to work reasonably well in practice, though we’d like to spend a week with MBUX so that it better “learns” our voice and speech patterns before arriving at a final conclusion. That said, you quickly learn that while you could task MBUX with simple commands such as turning down the radio volume or turning up the climate control temperature, it’s often faster and easier to just do such menial tasks yourself and save the more complex stuff for the computer.
Other advanced system features include some nifty navigation tricks. For example, using the front-mounted camera to project an image of the road ahead on the center display, MBUX can superimpose a turn arrow as you approach the street it asks you to turn on, helping to clarify exactly where the navigation system is directing you. It can also superimpose building addresses on each side of the street as you approach them and the names of cross streets. This is technology that is more than just flashy, it’s also extremely useful and is clearly the way forward for manufacturer-integrated navigation systems and possibly future versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We were also impressed with the 10.25-inch system’s sharp resolution and its tablet-like functionality, with swipe and multi-touch gestures available. The steering wheel controls were also useful, with tiny pads for swipe functionality and individual controls for instrument panel and center displays on the left and right wheel spokes, respectively.
Move to the rear seats and you’ll find a more spacious rear cabin than in the CLA or GLA, though this is still a small car with limited room for those over six-feet tall. Really, rear seating is best kept to shorter trips for average-size adults, though smaller children will find plenty of space.
During the drive program, we logged miles on the city streets of Seattle, twisty mountain roads that circle Washington’s Mt. Rainer, and stretches of highway further east towards Yakima. Our tester was a pre-production A220 4MATIC (designating all-wheel drive) equipped with 19-inch AMG wheels on low-profile summer tires and the AMG Line package with the lowered sport suspension (adaptive suspension is also an available option), drilled brake discs and various AMG trim items. We found the ride to be on the firm side, as expected from such a setup, though still compliant enough that we don’t feel passengers would be unduly uncomfortable. We’re confident that opting for the base suspension and 17-inch wheels would provide a more compliant ride though we weren’t able to experience a car so-equipped.
The new 2.0-turbo engine is impressively smooth and linear in its response, eager to run to its 6,500-rpm redline and with full torque feeling like it arrives arrive low in the rev range (Mercedes was unable to give us peak hp and torque rpm, leading us to conclude that final tweaking is still underway before the car’s launch in the first quarter of 2019). This is the A-Class’s base engine, and if 188 hp doesn’t sound like much, it doesn’t feel like it either and output is unfortunately significantly less than the CLA 250’s 208-hp, 258 lb-ft 2.0-liter turbo-four. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is up to the task, with quick, smooth shifts whether in automatic mode or using the wheel-mounted paddle shifters. While the A220 is more than capable of keeping up with fast-moving traffic, the chassis is talkative and lively enough (especially with its sport options) that we couldn’t help but think what a future AMG version might be capable of.
Mercedes used a new electric power steering setup on this A-Class which provides good feel and excellent weighting and precision, stiffening up nicely when the car is switched from Comfort to Sport mode, which also sharpens throttle tip-in, holds the seven-speed DCT’s gears longer before upshifting, and allows a little more slip before the ESC reins in the fun. An Individual drive mode is also available to mix and match sport and comfort settings.
Is the sedan segment dead? We certainly hope not if manufacturers can still bring fun-to-drive models to market like the A220. In our time with the car we came away very impressed and itching for more time in a full production version as we get closer to the A-Class sedan’s launch early next year. Mercedes is mum on pricing, though you can expect the A220 to start at roughly the same amount as the current CLA, or around $34,000 including destination fee, while the upcoming all-new CLA moves slightly upmarket.
