4D FOCUS with one of the world’s fastest autofocus1 and world’s most AF pointsThe α6300’s unrivaled 4D Focus system boasts one of the world’s fastest autofocus (AF) acquisition time that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds. It also has one of the world’s highest number - an incredible 425 - phase detection AF points2 that are densely positioned over the entire image area, and can shoot images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking. Additionally, the α6300 takes full advantage of its enhanced fast hybrid AF for movies in both HD and 4K. Other enhancements include silent shooting with continuous autofocus and auto exposure, the ability to use AF in focus magnifier mode, expanded flexible spot AF, Eye AF in AF-C mode and more. |
High-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE trackingClearly capture definitive points of action at extra-high speed at up to 11 fps continuous shooting with autofocus and auto exposure tracking. Experience all the benefits of an electronic viewfinder combined with the immediacy of a through-the-lens optical viewfinder by choosing live-view continuous shooting at up to 8fps. Or go with 11fps continuous shooting for extra assurance of sharp climactic shots. AF/AE tracking performance is incomparably fast, adaptable and nimble with every continuous shooting option. |
24.2 MP of imaging innovationThe newly developed 24.2 MP (approx. effective) APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor features copper wiring and enhanced circuit processing that lower the wiring layer and boost light collection efficiency. In conjunction with the BIONZ X image processor, it minimizes noise throughout a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-512008. The highly conductive copper in the circuitry significantly accelerates readout speed to support 4K movie recording with full pixel readout without pixel binning, Full HD 120fps shooting and 14-bit RAW output for still images. |

Ultimate 4K movie recording5 and moreThe α6300 offers internal 4K recording5 in Super 35mm format with full pixel readout, no pixel binning and 2.4x oversampling for the ultimate movie quality. By collecting 20 megapixels (6K equivalent) of information, which is approximately 2.4x as many pixels as 4K, the α6300 then oversamples the information to produce high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth. Additional professional video features include; S-Gamut3/S-Log3 and Gamma Display Assist, the ability to record Full HD at 120 fps for 4x or 5x slow motion HD video, both a mic jack and XLR compatibility via the MI shoe, enhanced Zebra functionality, picture profile settings, as well as Time Code / User Bit, clean HDMI output and much more. |
2.4-million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder w/ fast tracking 120Hz.The α6300 is equipped with a high contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder with approximately 2.4 million dots that offers exceptional corner-to-corner visibility. There is also a new mode available for the viewfinder that allows display of images at 120Hz, ensuring that action is displayed smoothly with very few afterimages for the sense of immediacy you get when shooting with an optical viewfinder, making subject tracking through the Tru-finder easier than ever. |
Enhanced Operability and ErgonomicsThe α6300 is equipped with an extremely solid magnesium alloy body that’s dust and moisture resistant for extreme conditions. The robust lens mount and refined grip makes it easier to shoot with larger heavier lenses, while the new 2.4-million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder with selectable 60fps/120fps refresh rates allow for faster subject tracking. The α6300 can be customized to fit nearly any shooting style or preferences with one of 65 different functions that can be assigned to one of the 10 customizable buttons. A new shutter release button and mode dial with improved operability add to the refined shooting experience. |

Pro features at a reasonable price
An excellent camera for the price, though not without faults. The rolling shutter while shooting 4k is quite bad, the battery life is pretty short, so make sure to buy extras. Also, the camera gets pretty warm rather fast (although I haven't had an actual overheating problem yet). The 120fps @ 1080p is a dream, as is Slog2 for having more control over your colors in post and its great in low-light. Its very small but still feels good in your hand. I'm a big fan of the articulating screen (i'm not a vlogger so i don't care that it doesn't flip out to the side) and the image quality is very good (photo and video). Another thing to keep in mind, if your a filmmaker, is that this is a very customization-friendly camera; you can build it up with cages, handles for better a better grip, external monitors, external power supply, even headphone jacks and regular sized auxiliary input/output. in the end,its definitely worth it for the money in my opinion.

My youngest brother was getting married in Grand Cayman and I decided it was time to invest in a quality camera again and enjoy taking real photos and integrating it into my agency work. I did a LOT of research two months before his wedding and was looking for the sweet spot between price, photo and video quality, build quality, features and customization. I knew immediately that I wanted to purchase a mirrorless camera, but which one?
I probably watched and read a hundred YouTube and article reviews of mirrorless cameras. I started my search by looking for cameras around $500 and the Canon G5x looked good for the price, but I wanted something that was not only compact but that I could switch out lenses. Then I found the Sony a6000 after seeing lots of great reviews and I gave it serious consideration because of the price and features. I also looked at the Panasonic Lumix G7 which was comparably priced but it lacked the autofocus quality of the Sony a6000. I ended up buying the Sony a6000, tried it out for a month and loved it, but I decided to return it and invest more money for a camera that had a mic jack and better features.
So now I'm looking at a budget of $1,000 and I looked at the Fujifilm X-T20 but didn't like it's limitations on 4k video. The Panasonic Lumix G85 was a serious contender because of its touchscreen, IBIS and 4k video without overheating. I mean, it's even got a fully articulating screen! How could I ignore that? After seeing many reviews for cameras in the $1,000 range, I ended up giving the Sony a6300 serious consideration because of the image quality in low light and the phase detection autofocus feature. The difference in those two features alone was the deciding factor for me and I just had a lot of fun shooting with the comparable Sony a6000 for a month.
The Sony Alpha a6300 menu has a lot of nice features and customizations (and even though I had not shot for years) I learned my way through the settings after a couple of weeks. The Sony Alpha a6300 is very compact, well designed and has a great build quality. The kit lens is amazing and I love the image and video quality. The size is perfect for day to day shooting.
So, my next step was to turn the Sony Alpha a6300 into a run and gun video camera. I did lots of research on external mics and found the [[ASIN:B00MIXFBKG Tascam DR-22WL]] to be a great purchase. The [[ASIN:B00MIXFBKG Tascam DR-22WL]] mounts nicely to my Sony a6300 with a [[ASIN:B0062TVHBE SmallRig Hot Shoe Adapter]] and the [[ASIN:B073HR6SY4 Movo MV-RC300 Line to Mic Attenuator Cable (-25dB)]]. Once I have the [[ASIN:B00MIXFBKG Tascam DR-22WL]] mounted to my a6300, I just plug the line port to the left side of the Tascam, the other cable to the mic jack on the a6300, hit record on the Tascam and the a6300 and then I'm good to go! The [[ASIN:B073HR6SY4 Movo MV-RC300 Line to Mic Attenuator Cable (-25dB)]] also comes with a monitor jack so I can plug in my headphones and check the sound during recording.
Overall, I am really happy with my set up. The Sony Alpha a6300 is a great compact camera that is a LOT of fun to shoot with and you can easily swap out high quality lenses. The price and features of the Sony Alpha a6300 are not available from any other camera manufacturer in it's class. Yes, it lacks IBIS, a fully articulating touchscreen and a headphone jack, but do I miss them? Nope. The EVF works great and I prefer that to an LCD screen which can get glare. I didn't see any noticeable difference in reviews on IBIS for video, but know that IBIS is really used just for photos. And I found a solution for using a headphone jack. You can use the HDMI output, a cable and a converter to make it work or you could buy an external mic which you will need anyway. You would easily have to spend $2,000 on another camera brand to get the same quality and features that the Sony Alpha a6300 offers.
I highly recommend the Sony Alpha a6300 if you could not tell already. If you do decide to purchase the Sony Alpha a6300, then join the Facebook group and share your stories.
