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
Noise can be a problem
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
A sm
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
Screen not touch-sensitive nor fully-articulated
Control dials have minimal tactile feedback
Screen can't be brightened when filming 4k

Smart Remote app needs updating immediately
Downloaded apps often have separate me
Omits touch-screen support
Lacks in-body stabilization
Dense menu system
Some apps must be purchased

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

With the Alpha 7 and RX series' receiving such critical acclaim over the past couple of years, Sony's APS-C CSCs have been starting to seem somewhat neglected. Thankfully, the Sony A6300 has brought the old NEX series back with a bang. It may appear to b...

Abstract: With the addition of 4k, s-log and 120fps the a6300 is a head turner. But it has some drawbacks like no headphone jack, its monitor is unusable in the sun and the body doesn't offer any steady shot. Overall a great camera for the money. Purchase the Sony...

The Sony a6300 is a very powerful camera. For general use, it's more than enough. But where it's really going to be tested is in the studio with RAW files, sports, wildlife, and street photography. The a6000 is still a great camera; and while I'm sure tha...
