Sony's a5100 interchangeable is "world's smallest"

The sexily-named Sony a5100 has just been revealed as the company's newest interchangeable lens snapper. What's more, the Japanese tech giant is saying that for it's lens size, this is the smallest interchangeable lens camera in the world.

Inside is a 24.3-megapixel APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor and Sony's Bionz X processor conveniently nicked from the flagship A7 range. If that's a little too much photography speak for you, then there's also a touch-sensitive LCD screen which will tilt 180-degrees for checking your selfie is correctly framed.

There's no small amount of connectivity either. Sony has built in Wi-Fi and NFC so you can quickly connect it to a smartphone or tablet for transferring images. The a5100 will shoot Full HD (1080p) video and features Fast Hybrid AF which, Sony says, will let you target a subject in 0.07 seconds.
It'll arrive with a 16-50mm lens kit and will be available from mid-September here in the UK for £550. Price for the body only will be £420.
