The A6300 demonstrates why Sony continues to dominate in the mirrorless camera market
Has Sony created another hit? The A6300 is simply one of the best, well-rounded mirrorless cameras we’ve tested to date, so we would say, yes. Sony currently dominates the mirrorless camera market, and with continual product offerings like the A6300,...

Yes, it's a great camera, but watch for speed bumps.
The Sony A6300 delivers class-leading photo and video quality, plus good performance and features for shooting action.
Myriad small annoyances mar the experience and it has the trademark poor battery life of Sony's A series. Plus it really could use in-body image stabilization.
A respectable update to its very popular A6000 mirrorless interchangeable-camera model, the Sony A6300 remains great but also retains some of the drawbacks of its predecessor.

It's priced at $1,000 (£1,000, AU$1,700) for the body, and $1,150 (£1,100) for a kit with the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 power-zoom lens. There doesn't seem to be any official kit pricing in Australia, but I've seen it for AU$1,800.

The Sony Alpha 6300 adds weather-sealing and 4K video to the popular midrange Alpha 6000. It's the premium mirrorless camera that Sony photographers have been waiting for.
Quick autofocus. 11.1fps burst shooting. 4K video capture. Crisp EVF. Tilting rear display. Strong high ISO performance. Built-in flash. Wi-Fi with NFC. Weather-sealed body.
Omits touch-screen support. Lacks in-body stabilization. Dense menu system. Some apps must be purchased. Doesn't include external charger.
Conclusions The Alpha 6300 is another strong, forward-thinking mirrorless camera from Sony. Its 24-megapixel image sensor offers plenty of resolution, performs well at higher ISOs, and can capture video at 4K resolution. It also houses an autofocus...

After an anticipation-laden time spent waiting for it, we finally got to see the arrival of Sony's successor to the bestselling a6000 interchangeable lens mirrorless HD camera from 2014. This is of course the new Sony a6300 and while it shares a number...
Excellent high resolution photos ; Amazingly fast Auto Focus at 0.05 seconds ; 425 phase detection points ; 4K video with no pixel binning ; Tough, rugged build ; Great price
Difficult to manually set a focus point ; clumsy main control button/dial layout
Our bottom line for the Sony a6300 4K mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is that this is one superb, well priced shooter for almost any consumer or even prosumer needs. If you want high performance and especially high low light performance on a...

The Sony A6300 replaces the two year old A6000 as Sony's premium APS-C Alpha offering. The A6300 retains a similar outward appearance to its predecessor, although the new camera does feature full weather sealing against dust and moisture ingress. But...
