The Do-it-all Travel Camera
This camera is the catalyst for my switch from Nikon. I had a D5100 and four lenses. Now that I've switched to this camera and its comparatively tiny lenses, my bag is so much lighter. The photos and videos from this camera are superb. This is probably the best option available right now for a small camera with 4k video - the NX1 is dying, and the other options (GX7, RX100) have fixed lenses and smaller sensors. The camera is slow to turn on many... Show More

The mini a7r II
To start off, Sony did it right (as they always do) with the a6300! I love everything about it! This camera is great for sports, portraits, landscapes, traveling, and even low light photography! I mostly shoot Landscapes and Portraits and this camera does the job perfectly! The image quality is fantastic! Love the new eye auto focus continuous! It's a bit laggy when the model moves to fast, but overall a plus. The 4K video is simply outstanding!!... Show More

A new paradigm in APS-C cameras
The a6300 reminds me of all the reasons I love (and was still using) my nex-7. This camera does a lot of things very, very well. The people who complain about what it lacks or cannot do are really missing the point. To get the specs and quality that this camera delivers in this form factor at this price point is nothing less than amazing. The image quality for stills is excellent. But where the a6300 really shines is it's UHD (4k) video quality w... Show More

A lot of bang for your buck!
This review is about stills mainly.I have been a Canon shooter for the past 10 years and this little guy is keeping up with my Canon 5dmkii. It is also my first APS-C size camera that I have used in professional work. The image quality keeps blowing me away of what this $ camera can produce. Keeping it under 800 ISO can produce large printable images that can be used in most professional shoots. The size of the a6300 may be a bit to small for ext... Show More

Amazing Camera with Fatal Flaws
This is one of the most frustrating cameras ever. You want to love it because it produces gorgeous images in super high resolution, but the flaws ruined it for me. I bought it exclusively for its 4K video ability and I was well aware of the short comings, like the notorious overheating and rolling shutter. I really thought for what I did there would be decent work-arounds available to make the camera usable. However, this wasn't necessarily the c... Show More

Great camera with one annoyance for me
I have shot Nikon and started shooting Sony about a year ago and have had the a6000, and have the a7rii and sold the 6000 and upgraded to the 6300 and love everything about the camera except the tiny flat control wheel on the back! If Sony would only make this whell more pronounced and with a more positive clicks it would be perfect for me, as i use this wheel mostly configured to adjust my shutter speed in manual mode and have disabled the left,...

An Excellent Camera for Travel
I purchased this camera as a replacement for my Nikon D7200 primarily because the body is about 1/2 the weight (361gm vs. 675gm). However, because of my investment in Nikon lenses, I also purchased a Vello auto lens adapter for my Nikon lenses in addition to the Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens. The A6300 and Sony lens are a nice compact combination for street photography. The addition of the Vello adapter with my Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6GII E... Show More

Ridiculous value
I am mainly a road cycling and mountain biking filmmaker and photographer (some outdoor adventure/travel too) and I bought this camera for two reasons. The first was to have a lightweight companion camera to my c100 that could film slowmo and 4k if necessary. It's been absolutely amazing here. Using slog 2 and 3 you can get really solid slowmo footage for web distribution. So far it honestly looks just as good as the footage from the a7s ii. I ha... Show More

Small, light weight Sony a6300
I'm a Nikon guy, been using a D7200. Size and weight, I'm just not going to carry this camera around. The Sony a6300 began to occupy my research time. I finally caved and bought it!? I carry this camera to work everyday! I'm happy with file size, as the Sony and Nikon are both DX and 24MP. I have found the Sony to be frustrating to use, but then I'm use to manual cameras and the Sony is not that! However, I am getting more at ease with the Sony. ... Show More

Great C Cam, not so much A or even B
So, I start by rating this camera as a 4 star, just because there is no 3.75 rating, because that is where I honestly feel this camera sits. Like all cameras, it's not perfect. But for what it is, it's a great addition to any DP's toolkit. As a. Professional, reliability is key. This camera isn't that. Micro HDMI is not suitable and at times drops the 4K (To Atomos shogun) and outputs a 1080p50 signal (PALville). I have to pull out the battery to... Show More

Great camera BUT....
I'm thoroughly impressed with the image quality of this camera but only if you record in 4K. Arguably the 1080 image straight out of the camera is of lesser quality in terms of sharpness, which is something you're defaulted to if recording in the 120fps format. The menu format is structured similar to other mirrorless cameras so if you have previously owned the a6000, a7s, or others then you should be able to find your way around this one fairly ...

Purchase to Picture Perfect
The entire process from research to purchase, to pictures was excellent. The Sony A6300 has surprised and amazed this novice photographer from opening the box. I have only spent a limited time with my new prize and continue to be amazed. I paired my A6300 with a Tamron 18-200 e- mount lens and continue to be very pleased with people result. Through some limited sessions of stills at a variety of venues under varying conditions this camera has pro... Show More

Worthy upgrade from the a6000
The new EVF and more robust body are great. Still photos are similar to my a6000, with a slight edge to the a6300 at higher ISOs. Video-wise, the must-have for me is Slog2, which I use on my RX10II. I have been able to color-match them very well. I use manual focus lenses mostly, so the only AF testing I have done has been with the 16-50 kit lens and it seems to work well. 4k 24p footage looks amazing. It's very detailed, colors well in post, and... Show More

Great Image Quality, Quirky Controls
I Chose the Sony a6300 as the most compact APS-C camera I could find that would have image quality comparable to my full-frame DSLR cameras. Using an adapter, I can shoot with my pro full-frame lenses and see little or no image quality difference. The 35mm 1.8 OSS Sony lens I bought with the camera also works fine. Or I can use the 16-50 pancake lens and drop the whole package into my coat pocket! This camera is great to handle, and the magnesium... Show More

Professional image quality, with one major problem.
Everything about this camera is 5 star worthy. The image quality is outstanding, the 4K is gorgeous, the autofocus is amazing, and it's a great little camera for any one looking to add it to their rig. Whether you're starting out, and looking for an awesome little first camera, or a professional looking for a great b cam, it'll do the job great. EXCEPT one major thing. It overheats, and can't be trusted for a longer paying job. I used this for tw... Show More

A powerful, yet camera
My rating is actually 4.5 stars because no camera (or lens) is perfect - - always room for improvement. But the A6300 comes close to fulfilling most of my needs. My first ILC was the NEX 6, so the comments are based on the improvements on that camera. Like many people I know who have DSLRs I found myself leaving the DSLR home more & more because all the equipment was just too heavy and the camera bag too bulky. I came to the decision that even an... Show More

Amazing camera!
I had many sleepless nights over the a6300 and the GH4. What is better?? 2 cameras so very similar and so very different. I spoke with many different camera specialists as to which camera is best??? To my dissapointment, a different answer every time. Neither camera was winning or losing the battle. I finally weighed the pro and cons as my needs as a filmmaker. I shoot 90% real estate video so a camera with low light benefits was my #1 need. A630... Show More

Amazing Little Camera
Got the a6300 with the 16-50mm kit lens and also got the 55-210mm lens separately - All I have to say is WOW....I've been a DSLR user for some time now, but the features in this little camera are just amazing. The face and eye AF tracking with the edge to edge focusing points ensures that I never miss a single shot of my 2 year old daughter as she runs around. The tilt-screen ensures that I get shots of her at a low angle as opposed to having t... Show More

Really Great Camera
I'm a long time Canon user, most recently a Canon 7D mark ii. Although I can get some sharp focused pictures, the majority are soft, even after using lens adjustment. After reading many reviews on the a6300, I decided to try one out. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and the results are quite good. Not only does it focus quick and accurately almost every time but the increased dynamic range and faithfulness of colors to what I see with... Show More

Perfect except the overheating issues
I was waiting for over a year for this camera but I am now a bit disappointed. While still and generally 4k Video are really good in terms of picture quality, even with the bad kit lens, the camera/sensor overheats in about 12-15 minutes indoors (4k 24p). You can get to about 20 minutes if you unfold the LCD display to give it more room to cool, but overall recording is limited to 29:50 minutes; The recording will just stop without any warning, s...

A lot of camera in a small package
I am mainly using with adapted lenses and a metabones speedbooster. As others have said the continuous autofocus doesn't really work in video with this setup, but to my pleasant surprise, the autofocus works great for stills - much faster than my 5D Mark II was on native glass! Nice to have many features in a tiny package. Obviously very unbalanced with full frame Canon glass + a speedbooster but I welcome the drop in total weight compared to a 5... Show More

Hmmmm... Buyer Beware of MAJOR ROLLING SHUTTER in 4K
My comments are strictly video based... I placed an order for the A6300 about a day or two after it was announced. I had a NEX5, NEX 6 and A6000, I loved all 3 of them, so this seemed like a logical next move up in cameras. My A6300 arrived yesterday. I purchased the A6300 to use as a B camera to compliment my Sony A7s, which I use with the Video Devices PIX-E5 for 4k. I have only shot about 10 minutes of 4k footage with the A6300 but immediately... Show More

From canon 6D to 6300
There is no doubt that 6300 is a very capable camera, I just want to point out some limitations here. 1. af works well when there is enough light. canon 6D center point performs better than 6300 under dim light. 2. grip is a bit too small for me, and there is not vertical grip you can buy now. 3. if you don't know enough of post processing, the skin tone of 6300 is certainly not as good as canon straight out from camera. 4. battery. i carry 2-3 e...

Getting My Feet Wet
This is me testing the waters of the mirrorless market coming from being fully submerged in Canon Full-Frame gear. I purchased the a6300 kit along with the Tessaro 16-70mm, so I would have the 16-50mm when I wanted a very compact setup. I have still yet to test out the 16-50 pancake lens. There is quite a learning curve in the camera menu coming from a different manufacturer. I was hoping this camera would be the end-all-be-all camera so I could ... Show More
