  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: Exmor CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

    • Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)

Q: How much does this camera weigh?

A: This camera weighs 0.89 pounds

Q: Which adapter I need to have to continue using Canon lenses?

A: The sigma mc-11 has been a very reputable adapter to use with canon lens on Sony camera. It will allow for autofocus but keep in mind the autofocus wont be as consistent as a native Sony lens but if manually focusing with this adapter for canon on Sony bodies you should be very happy with the results. Good luck and hope you enjoy your new Sony camera. Love my a6300.

Q: When will Best Buy put the Sony - Alpha a6300 on sale? It is online cheaper at places like B&H Photo Video.

A: I spent a lot of time researching and looking for the best deal. I eventually ended up buying from Best Buy because they price match and I felt that if I had an issue with it I could take it back to the store or get it fixed an a store near me rather than doing it online.

Q: I have the A6000 and primarily would upgrade to the A6300 for the silent shutter (amateur concert photographer). Worth the $$$ for this alone?

A: Silent shutter if fantastic and it is completely silent. However, I would NOT spend $1000 just for that feature though, especially in a noisy environment like a concert.

Q: Is the New Sony A6300 available to test out in stores?

A: As of today, March 30, 2016, it is Not available in the local Vestal, NY store.
