Sony a5100 Has 720p 120fps mode like a7s!

Sonya5100

Today Sony announced the Sony Alpha a5100 which fits between the a5000 and a6000.   The flagship feature is that it has a mixture of phase and contrast AF points totaling a whopping  179 points for phase mode and an extra 25 zones for contrast, all combined 204 points.  According to some early tests this camera might bridge the gap between full DSLRs and mirror-less when it comes to focusing.   Current high performance DSLRs still are better than mirror-less due to the phase nature of their AF sensors.   If this camera can put up a fight there will be less and less craving for large mirror box DSLRs in the coming years.

Sony FDR-AX100 4k camera with a 120f 720p mode

The just released Sony FDR-AX100 Handycam is not just a 4k recording multipurpose camera but it also hides a 720p 120f mode which so far seems to be lower quality than regular 720p video cameras. The quality while usable is not ideal.  The resolution seems to be well below the stated 720p in slow motion mode.

There is a sister model with the same sensor called the HDR-CX900 which shares all features “Including 720p 120F recording” except the 4k recording and of course a discounted price. However the $500 shave might be unwarranted considering the 1.5k investment for the CX900  which for $500 more you get 4k on the AX100. → Continue Reading Full Post ←
