Photo shot on a Sony α6300

The Sony α6300 (model ILCE-6300) is a mirrorless digital camera announced on 3 February 2016.[1] The α6300 features a 24 megapixel Exmor sensor with a new 4D AF system with 425 phase detection autofocus points. The camera is powered by Sony's Bionz X image processor with an ISO range up to 51,200. Additionally, the α6300 can shoot images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking. This model also introduced 4K recording for the first time in a non-full-frame Sony camera, with it sampling to 6K before being downsampled to 4K.[2]

On 6 October 2016, the a6500 was released, meant to serve as a replacement.

Reception

Techradar rated it with a 4/5-star rating, praising its JPEG quality, view finder, and its AF focus speed. But disliked the camera's lack of raw processing and its display power, along with a lack of touch screen.[3]

DPReview found the progress in technology impressive, and were happy to see a Magnesium Alloy Body and its included dust and moisture resistance. However, they also said the lack of a touchscreen, or direct AF point selection with a dedicated joystick or control to be problematic for some.
