This camera is absolutely amazing. I fell in love with my a6000 and had second marriage with my full frame a7II but this camera is mind blowing. The focus is ridiculously quick and on point. The eye focus is a total game changer. This camera is well constructed and compact. I’m only sorry I didn’t get this camera sooner. This camera is a definite no brainer.

I was decided to buy the a6500 but in the end, spending the extra $400 just for IBIS and a touch screen ( that only works to focus) was not worth it. This has the same quality as the bigger brothers at almost half the price. Pairing this with OSS lenses will give great results in low light situations.
Video is recorded at 6k and down scaled to 4K which looks awesome.

I'm an A7S owner who was about to purchase an external 4K monitor/recorder when the a6300 was released. Instead I have an extra camera with internal 4K and 120fps HD plus slog2 and 3 for the same price. Good stills and great video!

This camera and all these sony cameras are the way of the future. If your up to the future this camera system is for you. This camera in my opinion rivals the L cameras if you know what I mean.

I've had the A6300 for about a month now and I couldn't be happier! I have taken in excess of 3500 pictures in that time & am amazed at the image quality. I can recover details in shadows in landscape & city scapes that I just ca't get with my Canon 7DMKii. I am comfortable using higher ISO's than on my 7DMKii. Up to 6400 will produce a useable image. I also love the fact that I can use my Canon L series lenses on it with an adapter. Focusing is fast & accurate. Even the eye autofocus works after a firmware update on the adapter. I have done a couple of model shoots & other shots with it & am very happy with the results. And so are the models. I feel safe walking around downtown Miami at night with this and my tripod since the thieves think it's a toy camera and don't bother with these small mirrorless wonders. The biggest downside to the camera for me so far is the memory buffer. Shooting in RAW at high frame rates fills the memory buffer & you are stuck until it clears. Memory card speed does not seem to help. I'm using a 2000x Lexar card & it is the same as using my slower cards. It's great for shooting in 4k, which I do very little of. I'm not a video person. Battery life could be a little better, but so far I am averaging 400-500 shots on a full charge when shooting models. That goes way, way down if you are doing long exposure stuff. Maybe 125 shots at 30 second exposures. I love long exposure night photography, so I just carry a spare battery & I'm all set. Batteries are small & light, so they are easy to put in a pocket. I would highly recommend this camera to my friends or anyone else that has an interest in photography. It has lots of features for the new shooter & people like me who shoot in manual mode. Off camera flash systems from most all of the major manufacturers are now available for the Sony system. The Sony system is lightweight for most of the lenses, but people still complain about the weight of the high end lenses. Those with an apature of 2.8 or lower constant apature's aimed at he professional market. I am very happy with my choice in this camera and I intend to stay with the E-mount system for foreseeable future.

Terrific quality camera. Gorgeous 4k. Good for recording video clips up. Terrific photos. Easy to use with iPad for remote video or photo shooting.
Battery life sucks, wish it had an articulating screen (rather than title), and a bit of jello (rolling shutter) when doing fast movements in 4k. These are minor annoyances.

Powerful features in a small body. Great pictures that would rival bigger cameras and 4K video that under the right conditions can be better than the much more expensive A7SII. Rolling shutter is an issue, but if you have a tripod or a gimbal this shouldn't be a problem. Can't go wrong with this price camera!

Used this camera on a recent trip. Overall, I really like this camera! It is small, light weight, and well built. Photo and video quality went well past my expectations. There are a few cons: Battery life is short, rolling shutter, and price.

Amazing Camera for Photo and Video

Coming from the Nikon D5000, this was a big step. Being a student as well, justifying spending $900 on a camera and $300 on a lens, which by the way was the Sigma 30mm DC DN contemporary lens, was not the easiest thing I have ever done. But I was not disappointed at all. Great 4k video at 60FPS and 1080p Video at 120FPS, makes for amazing films, along with the great stills. I am more on the film side of the spectrum, and do photography every now and then, but I have to say that this camera, truly keeps having me amazed. The autofocus for video and photo is just incredible! Can hunt a little bit more in low light, but in normal circumstances, this camera is just fantastic! The build quality is stunning. Mostly made of metal, with a very small body, most people are amazed when the see what such a small camera can do. The hand bump fits perfectly in the palm as well. If you are past the beginner stages and looking for your next big camera, but still small enough to take around town or on trips, the a6300 if for you! I highly recommend the extra money it costs over the a6000 if you are interested in that 4k video.

Great camera for traveling lightweight and just perfect for my use. Battery does run fast if shooting in 4K but if you have extra battery you should be great.

4k video is unbelievable, slow motion is great. Used with lea3 adapter and a sigma 150-600 focuses quickly. In camera stabilisation would have been great, but when auto ISO is set high (6400) still get sharp pics in overcast weather.

I had a canon 5dmiii and ditched it for this camera and their 35 1.8 lens... Lighter, does 4K and just as sharp. The 12fps can really help in shooting kids and sports. I even used it in the studio with strobes and it was just as effective as my 5D. The only problem is lack of battery life

light weight small and beautiful images. Super sharp images with a medium level lens. Video is over saturated but it can focus very fast. The usability of changing settings as not as intuitive as it should be, but I really like this camera as a top choice for mirror-less cameras.

Jealous with Envy..

My travel companions were jealous with envy after just their first look at my Sony A6300 Mirrorless Camera. The picture quality was comparable with their high end DSLR's.....but, the weight of the camera and lens was only a fraction of what they were carrying. Lifting weights should be limited to the Gym.

I previously purchased the a6000 and quickly grew to like it as a replacement for my Sony a77 dslr. I purchased an adapter and use my a-mount lenses with the camera. I then upgraded to the a6300 when it was released. It is quicker, sharper photos and makes photography a lot more fun.

If u plan to just use ur camera for stills, just stick with a6000. However if plan to make videos and have 4K tv, this goes well with it. I also plan to make full use of silent shutter mode. You won't even know u took a pic unless u reviewed it its that silent. It's perfect for church, museums and any place where noise can be a bother to ur subjects.
