Familia Gladiatoria- A Sony A5100 review from Johnnie Behiri on Vimeo.
Cinema5D (Click here) tested the video performance of the A5100. Obviously this is not what the camera was made for:
The Sony A5100 is a basic entry level large sensor camera housing some professional features. It is a nice camera for the occasional family user. I’ll be surprised if any professional will find it useful for any of their video productions as the camera, the way it is, leaves a lot to be desired.
Mobile01 (Click here) posted many sexy images of the camera. And many image/video samples and ISO tests. Check it out even if you don’t can’t understand the text!

Champagne isn’t the a5100’s color. Seriously. Oh, and the girl in the link she’s sexy. The boring a5100 rectangle with faux grip? Not so much.
An entry level consumer camera is not likely to be of much use to a professional videographer. Really? Wow…
I am much more interested in the still shots capabilities since it’s the a6000 sensor for (hopefully) much less money. Not for the (semi-) professional use (where I will use my FF a-mount) but for every occasion where the FF is too large and my rx100 not good enough. Can’t wait for first reviews and an Dxo mark rating….
This a5100 video performance is simply superb. Bravissimo Sony.
It has the same codecs as the company’s A7s model. Would he venture to say that camera is not good for video? Plus you can use the HDMI out into an atomos recorder.
Sure this is an entry level camera for photographers, sure it does lack many features photographers need which they will find in tha a6000, but please, the a5100 video capabilities are far beyond any APS-C camera out there. This is for indie filmmakers, and low budget projects, like every DSLR and Mirrorless camera used for video. As for the “professionals”, i think they would be using ARRI f55 or Sony’s CineAlta series. I usually like the depth and precision of Cinema 5D’s articles, but in this one i think they totally overlooked the a5100. Never underestimate a cheap APS-C camera, specially with superior video qualities.
