The editors didn't like

Battery life could be a little better

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
No built-in image stabilization (Sony A7 II series does have that)
Screen only tilts
No disc for the index finger
Overheating of the sensor from extended recording in 4K

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

Speedy AF, excellent image quality, great video quality and feature set
No touchscreen, fixed EVF, no inbody image stabilization, no headphone jack
At $1,000, the a6300 is missing features, such as a touchscreen or tilting EVF, found on competitive models, but those aren't major liabilities. More serious drawbacks, at least for some users, include a limited flash sync speed (1/160th) and a slower mec...
