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

Slow buffer clearing (no UHS-II support)
Clunky menus

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

In my judgment, the overall quality of the images and videos I was able to capture with the Sony Alpha A6300 surpass those I achieved with any previous APS-C-format camera. Indeed, this camera will give current full-frame professional DSLRs a run for the...

Abstract: Sony had the right idea with its A6000 : It made a powerful mirrorless camera and sold it at a relatively affordable starting price. And people loved it, with Sony claiming it's been the world's best-selling mirrorless camera since it came out two years a...

Sony's new Alpha Series ILC --- the a6300 --- picks up where the a6000 left off in 2014, turning an already formidable camera into a DSLR destroyer at this thousand dollar price point.This Sony E-mount ILC system boasts a 24.2-megapixel Exmor CMOS image s...

Sony's A6300 is a mid-range mirrorless with an AF system that's the envy of pro cameras costing up to twice the price. It takes the earlier A6000 - no slouch for action photography - and upgrades the weather-sealing and viewfinder, adds 4k video, 1080 at...

The A7 cameras, especially the later Mark II models, maybe seem to be the brighter stars in the Sony mirrorless firmament, but the A6300 definitely deserves a place here as the more compact – and essentially cheaper – alternative. Only the original A7 cos...
It's hard to find fault with this camera. Yes, it's expensive, but not crazily so. I'd imagine that there'll be better deals available for the A6300 if you're willing to wait a few months.Price aside, it's a camera that delivers everything you could want...

For testing the camera was used for fast snapping of informal portraits and action shots at an indoor and outdoor event. It was teamed with the full frame 2870mm FE lens and the results were excellent. Focus is fast and exposure and colour were spot on. T
Compared with other cameras in this price range the a6300 is short on instantly accessible controls
The a6300 is a fine camera that competes with the Olympus OMD E-M1 ($1300) and the Fujifilm X-T1 ($1138) both of which are configured as more serious cameras. The Sony wins for its 4K video and widescreen monitor and exceptional auto focus function. Both...
