Sony Alpha A6300
This camera is considered one of Sony’s mid-range models—with the Sony A6000 as its lower counterpart, and the Sony A7 II as it’s higher level counterpart. The specs on this camera aim to impress even the fussiest of photographers. It’s a great looking camera too and is easy to handle & operate. Let’s look at some of the other features.
The battery on this camera is also a feature worth mentioning due to its staying power during your shoots. Your camera battery should be able to last approximately 400 photos in, before the battery needs recharging.
The Sony Alpha A6300 has a 24MP sensor with a shooting rate of 11 frames per second. There’s a built-in flash which has an incredible sync speed of 1/160 seconds. The AF system on the camera is hybrid, and boasts an impressive 425 PDAF points. Among other features, one more is worth mentioning; the OLED 2.36M-dot with a 120fps refresh option which will lend a hand to the quality of your photographs.
In addition to these photography features, the Sony Alpha A6300 also has some convenient video recording abilities. 4K is the hero here, with resolution settings of 3840 x 2160 (30p) and 1920 x 1080 (120p/60p). Although the camera is primarily designed for regular photography, you’ll enjoy the quality of these videos as well.
A newer model Sony Alpha A6400 was released in January 2019.

Review: Sony A6300 compact system camera is something of a speed demon
Yes, its makers claim the A6300 is the fastest camera on the planet when it comes to autofocus, with its hybrid system and processor engine allowing it to lock onto subjects in just 0.05 seconds. I can't attest to that number myself (sorry, I just can't count that quickly!
Sony Alpha 6300 review

Sony A6300 review: The A6300's best-in-class images marred by annoying operation
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. The Sony A6300 experience, as with many of its A series interchangeable-lens camera (ILC) models, feels like soaring through the sky one minute only to smack into a window the next. It flies with a beefed-up autofocus system, excellent 4K video (with supporting features) and improved low-light photo quality over the A6000's already great images. Combined with the usual advantages of an ILC -- smaller body and lenses, better photo preview and more streamlined video shooting -- there's a lot to appeal to enthusiasts who might otherwise buy a fast general-purpose dSLR.- 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.
Sony A6300 review
It's hard to find fault with this camera. Yes, it's expensive (￡1,000 body only, or ￡1,100 with a 16-50mm kit zoom lens), but not crazily so. I'd imagine that there'll be better deals available for the A6300 if you're willing to wait a few months.- Fast
- accurate autofocus
- Great image quality
- even in low light
- Invaluable OLED viewfinder
- Compact
- lightweight and sturdy build
- Pretty pricey

For a sub ~1,000 dollar camera, this is perfect.

- Fast Shutter Speed
- Large Clear LCD
- Small / Compact
- Poor Image Stabilization
- Short Battery Life

Sony A6300 blows every mirrorless camera away with insane speed and 4K
The last five months have been really tough. I've been without my trusty Sony A6000 after it suddenly stopped working during my vacation in London last November. After what felt like forever, Sony finally announced the A6300 , the A6000's long-awaited successor. I pre-ordered one as soon as I could.
