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.
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.

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
Released roughly two years after the popular α6000 model (which we reviewed in August 2014, Sony's α6300 introduces a new sensor with 425 phase-detection AF points embedded in its surface, a significant improvement on the 179 AF points in the α6000's sensor.
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!
The mirrorless or compact system camera category has been growing steadily over the past couple of years, and for good reason. These cameras DSLR levels of functionality and quality (depending on the sensor being used) in a compact body that's relatively easy to carry around.
Battery life could be better; No touchscreeninput; Menu system isn't the most user friendly
Top quality compact camera for pictures and v4k video. Highly recomended
Sony's new premium compact system camera features a 24.2-million-pixel sensor, fast AF tracking as well as 4K video capture. We take a first look at the Sony Alpha 6300.
I didn't use my DSLR much so I went for a smaller mirrorless camera instead. It does have a cropped sensor but takes great pictures and event better videos. The strap attachment makes jangling noises that come into the video
If you have no prior commitments to another photo system, the A6300 won't disappoint you for the money - but a lack of long focal lengths and a slightly-flawed approach means this camera isn't ready to replace everyone's SLR just yet.
I've had this camera for a little while now and it is very similar to the Sony A6000 that I had previously. It takes a little while to get to understand the menu system but it is very well organised and quite quickly you are able to move around the menus like a pro and get just the effect you are...
