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.

Sony a6300 review
The a6300 is Sony's latest and greatest compact system camera (CSC), and an update to the Sony a6000 . Back in 2014 I wrote that the a6000 "hits a home run for quality, performance, features and price", so the a6300 has big boots to fill.
Sony had the right idea with its A6000 : It made a powerful mirrorless camera and sold it at a relatively affordable starting price. And people loved it, with Sony claiming it's been the world's best-selling mirrorless camera since it came out two years ago.
Pros Fast, accurate autofocus Excellent image quality Improved viewfinder Full 4K video recording Large sensor 11fps burst Cons No touchscreen In-camera menus are quite long and confusing No headphone socket for monitoring audio High price-tag
