Sony a5100 Video Features Review

"Which camera should I buy?” I get that question from time to time. Usually it is from someone wanting to get started shooting video. So in this episode, let’s look at one pretty good option for the aspiring video and film maker: The Sony a5100.

This is one of the more affordable options in large sensor, interchangeable lens camera systems. And Sony has done a great job in terms of balancing features, price, and quality.
