Sony Announces New Mirrorless Camera

Sony's announcement of the a5100 has dominated the photography news today.  (I had ten stories on the news release in my newsfeed this morning.)

The a5100 uses the same auto-focus system and sensor found in the company's a6000, but in a more compact body.  It's expected to be available in September for $550, body only.  A kit version will start at $700.

The a5100 will use Sony's "E" mount system.  This is the same mount used by the a6000, a7, a7R and a7S cameras.
