Our take on the Sony α6100
The Sony α6100 is an APS-C mirrorless camera with real-time eye autofocus, a face cam for streamers who want a clean background blur. At a tracked $1,198 it sits at the top of a $1,039 to $1,198 range since August 9, 2026, so wait for a dip.
The listing gives a 24.2MP sensor and 425 phase-detection points, plus a 3 inch touchscreen that tilts 180 degrees, which lets you check your framing from the front. Touch tracking holds focus on your face. It uses Sony E-mount lenses. A real camera needs a capture card to reach OBS. Retailer rating is 4.7 across 227 ratings.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
