    This is my first real camera to get into photography. I did my research and found this kit to be the best bang for the buck. It can be overwhelming when you first start, but it was a short learning curve to get over. Now my photos are amazing thanks to this camera! It takes great low light photos, awesome portraits, and is light enough to be able to take anywhere. It is my favorite travel gadget!

    Great autofocus and even a slowmotion feature, this camera was a great upgrade for me that does everything a big dslr can in a much lighter package. The autofocus is insanely quick and the camera can do 120fps slowmotion. The only down side so far is battery life can drain fairly quick but overall I love the camera.

    The 4K video on this alone makes the camera worth it. It’s like you’re there, reliving the event. The photos are stunning, and the customization is endless. The light weight of the camera base is a plus. The size of the camera bag was a little too small for my comfort but it might work for others.

    I bought this body with two kit lens and case. Was very detailed in my searches within my budget. Best buy had this product on their shelf cheaper then any other vendor. I did online order and that worked pretty good. I was alerted for pickup and made it to the store 1 minute before closing time. Staff checked me out in 3 minutes. I have shot at least 200 pictures with this camera so far and they all look great.There is also free editing software that comes with this camera from internet. It works very well to fix any bad photos. I am not a entry level person to this but if you are, I would not recommend this camera, it is really for someone that has spent time learning photography OR is getting ready too at school. It is a good point and shoot camera, but you could get same results for a fraction of the price. I would recommend you watch a few you tube videos and tutorials on this unit before you spend the money. Once you decide, I highly recommend you purchase this from Best Buy with 12 months same as cash.

    Compact and Amazing

    This is by far the best camera I have ever owned (although I haven't owned anything as expensive besides an old Nikon DSLR which was 25% of the price). The build quality of this camera is just amazing. It's built with a nice metal body that doesn't only feel nice but will take a beating. Although, if you have big hands such as myself, you may find some trouble having a good grip on this camera as the grip part is fairly small. Although, if you get a SmallRig cage, that problem should be fixed. Besides that, the lenses that come with this kit are crisp clean and look amazing if you use the right settings. The only issue I find is it overheats fairly fast when recording in 4k as this camera is fairly small. I've included two of my favorite photos that I have taken using this camera.

    This model is the newest version of the popular a6000. I was able to take great pictures right away very easily in both auto and manual modes. In manual mode I copied the settings from a picture site and got a great shot of the moon. In auto I got a great landscape shot of a lake and a shot of a beautiful sunset very easily. There are many examples of great photos from both these cameras on internet photo and video sites. The a6300 model adds a stronger feeling body and 4k video. If you are thinking about getting this camera and you like great pictures, it's time to stop reading and start buying so you can get on to taking great pictures!

    Camera is awesome for the size and price. Went mainly for this unit because of size compared to competitors. Does not have some of the features the competitors have but nothing I can’t do without especially when carrying around a lighter camera all day. Takes wonderful and beautiful pictures. Awesome camera and I would definitely buy another.

    I bought this camera as a gift to my wife who is an amature photographer. We deccided to go with a6300 instead of canon t6i or nikon mainly bc we wanted something compact. After inital set up, we found picture quality was great, even compared with our friends who own t6i. And none of us could tell the difference ( ofcourse we are all amature photographers )

    Bought this camera for my avid photographer wife, who has developed some neck and shoulder problems. We travel a lot, and she carries a camera all day, most of the time. Its smaller and lighter than the much loved Nikon she was using for years. After much review and study, decided on this camera as it had all the features of a good DSLR, but in a smaller, lighter package. Plus, several good features not available with most DSLRs. There are several good reviews and tutorials on YouTube, and everyone should see them before buying. There is a long learning curve in learning more than just point and shoot with this camera, so it's not a camera for a first timer. But an experienced and intelligent photographer such as my wife, will be able to pick up on the subtleties soon enough. Hardware and software quality is high, but some of the functions could be clearer. And Sony documentation is dismal, so be sure to look for those YouTube videos. We look forward to many years of enjoyable, fruitful use.

    After carrying a heavy Nikon, I wanted a feature rich camera that was much lighter. It performs well. Great autofocus. Good selection of lenses.

    Bought this camera because I was tired of carrying around by Canon 70D. The sony is much smaller and the picture quality is on par with the 70D. Plus you get 4k recording which is a big bonus. Cant say enough good things about this camera. Only drawback is the screen cant swing out and face the front of the camera.

    An excellent upgrade from the a6000.

    I had an a6000 last year but sold it as I tried other systems. When I wanted to get back to the Sony system I was torn as to whether the a6300 or the a6500was worth the extra costs. They all use the same sensor. Both the a6300 and a6500 have upgraded video and focusing and electronics. The a6000 is a fine camera, but using dpreview.com as a resource, it appeared both were noticeably better on focus and add 4K video. But $300 or $600 better for stills? I decided on the a6300 and am satisfied with the speed and versatility. Unless you are really buying it for 4K videography, there is no significant improvement with the a6500 and if you don’t care at all about 4K, the a6000 is also an excellent choice and the best value in Mirrorless cameras.
