I'm just going to explain my reasoning (yes, I do understand yours too). China manufactured. ~Many if not most companies have stuff made or parts sourced in China. A person might not like it (I reeeallly don't), but qc is up to the company, and if it meets spec., products are fine. Although I dislike Apple products, the os, and using them, many don't share that opinion. One thing, you don't hear much about with them, in general, is poor quality from being made in China. I wanted a cheap, light, chainsaw to backup the big expensive one. I picked Makita. Yep, China. Why? I saw some pros not only review it, but disassemble it. I saw the parts, and I heard how well built it was (the exact model I got). In over a year of hard storm cleanup, I'm using it more than the big one. Peer review? Sure, but accurate and good info, and I wasn't spending $700 on a second little saw when I could spend $200 for a decent one (coupons plus sale). Not that it matters, my a5100 says Thailand (I know that's not the case with other models), and the Sigma on it says Japan, I don't have the other lenses out here to look (other than pretty much any review I read raved about how good the main one I got is for the price). I also have access to Canon and some others, but I don't get around to "pro" shots much, so I never got an adapter. My point with the Sony sensor, companies work together for things. If Nikon uses Sony for part of one of the main things, they must be capable of a quality product. Ergos are subjective, entirely. If you don't like holding a Sony, then that's it, they're out. Much like my Apple dislike (but I also don't like the company, in addition to usage). Things like that and your Sony dislike are personal experience based, and understandable. Most reviews I see comparing DSLR or other, say that you can choose between Sony, Canon, Nikon, and get a good camera, even in many cases hard to tell the difference in picture without REALLY digging into it. Choices come down to personal preferences, all make good cameras.
Battery charging, I guess I could see that. I didn't see if there was a wide failure rate as I'm not in the market for this model. If there is, definitely out (or the annoyance of an external charger). I have been considering going up to a newer "a" series, but will look if the others have something comparable in the future. I also have a p&s, far handier in the pocket for something quick (I don't often "set up" shots).
Warranty. Can't say personally. In 19 years, several thousands of pictures, with a couple years of an additional Canon product in there, I've never had to use their support at all. I got a Sony card because it gave me a couple hundred dollars off of something about 10 years ago, and got points with it for a few years, got a tv for almost nothing 7 years ago, it's still ok too. I never saw much about that during my initial research a couple years ago. My used camera, I got a Squaretrade warranty just in case (it was a reputable store on ebay so I could get the warranty on used). I did with another product, under a week and no hassle I had a replacement.
Forum. Like I said, not in the market, and I know you can Google. I just did a quick look what the camera was, saw that right away, mainly the video, saw that it went into fairly detailed comparisons. As to the forum itself, most are full of "experts", including this one..., but I usually sort through that stuff without thinking much about it. In general, with a product, if there's a severe issue, like say, banding, it would turn up in the discussion and a person could look into it more (at a site of one's choosing).

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
