The editors didn't like
Must charge battery inside the camera
Battery life could be a little better
Nearly four figure price tag for camera body alone is high versus other mirrorless models
Control buttons on back are a little small to use comfortably

Lack of optical image stabilization built into body (as we are seeing on many of the new Sony models)
No dedicated headphone jack
Short battery life
Overheating issues in direct sun
No touchscreen
Fixed EVF
No inbody image stabilization
No headphone jack
I actually like going above ISO 6400 and Fujifilm will give me more of a reason to do that than Sony will
Ergonomics should be evolving at this point
In many ways the Sony a6300 is an excellent camera. Great image quality
Very versatile RAW files

List price over 1
000 euros

Slow buffer clearing (no UHS-II support)
Clunky menus
Wi-Fi can be a bit frustrating to use
Myriad small annoyances mar the experience and it has the trademark poor battery life of Sony's A series. Plus it really could use in-body image stabilization
Confusing menu system
So-so
Nontouch-screen LCD
Steep price
Compared to the similar a6000 model
Smaller lens selection than for DSLR competitors from Canon and Nikon
Takes some time getting used to
LCD display isn't touch-screen
Lack of touchscreen is limiting
Given camera's capability
Menus are over-long
Lack organization or sufficient location cues
Extensive customization and use of Fn menu absolutely essential
4K video quality, High speed autofocus system, Can connect an external mic
Takes some time getting used to, LCD display isn't touch-screen,
We can look past a non-touch LCD display, and getting familiar with new equipment is part of the job as a filmmaker. Once you toss those fears aside, you're left with the Sony Alpha A6300: a high-performing camera that captures your ideas in 4K resolution...

The bottom line is that the Sony a6300 is an incredible UHD-capable camera that can be purchased with a lens for around $1,000. It lacks things like proper audio monitoring but gives you great control over your color correction when filming in SLog 2 or 3...
