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

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
The ILCE-α6300's improved AF system certainly appears to offer faster lock-on and better tracking of moving subjects than the system in the previous camera. But its lack of consistency is concerning, particularly for photographers who favour moving subjec...
Blazing fast focus speeds, Insane burst rate, Incamera 4K video
Dated ergonomics
The Sony A6300 is a pocket rocket of a sports camera, with 425 autofocus points and 4K video all baked into a mirrorless system...

Very good JPEG quality, High-quality viewfinder, Fast and capable AF system
Underpowered LCD at default settings, Display not touch-sensitive, No in-camera raw processing
The A6300 is a well-rounded model that should have wide appeal, both on account of what it offers on paper and its performance in a range of situations.Those intending on using the A6300 for more considered video recording, or for tracking moving subjects...
The fastest autofocus in the business with 425 AF points, Bundled with a very smooth power zoom lens, Sharp EVF with useful info such as a level gauge included, Fast successive shooting possible in RAW plus jpeg mode for sports photographers, Strong perfo
The LCD doesn't offer touchscreen control, There are few customisable controls, We had trouble connecting the camera to the PlayMemories app on an iPhone, The so called smart features (additional apps) are an additional cost and generally disappointing, T
Even with the fairly short 16-50mm zoom lens that comes with this mirrorless camera, the A6300 looks a little heavy. In fact, the robust magnesium alloy body feels comfortable in the hand with relatively few controls cluttering the design. Sadly, the tilt...
Abstract: With the new α6300 Sony has made the immensely popular α6000 even better. While retaining the compact lightweight design of its predecessor, the α6300 adds lightning fast (0.05 seconds) hybrid autofocus with 425 AF points and subject tracking 4D focus, pr...
The Alpha 6300 boasts a very impressive spec that builds on its predecessor, bringing 4K and improved EVF to the table. Touchscreen would have been nice, as would a longer battery life, but this probably isn't a deal-breaker for most. Unfortunately, Sony...

It's easy to say that technically the A6300 has surpassed the A6000 on almost every front. But is that really a fair comparison? With a body only price of $1,000 (compared to only $650 for the A6000 at launch), it's simply in another league, and likely ap...
Solid burst performance, Fast AF in most situations, Good higher-ISO performance, Great image quality
No in-body OIS, 'Entry level' manual controls
Sony Alpha a6300 – Image Quality Among its compact system camera peers, the Alpha a6300 starts off from a strong position because it has an APS-C-sized sensor. While Sony makes system cameras with even bigger sensors, the Panasonic and Olympus alternative...
Superb 24.2MP stills, Super-fast autofocus system, 4K and slow-motion video, Terrific performance with premium lenses
No touchscreen, Kit lens could be better, No advanced image stabilization
Has Sony created another hit? The A6300 is simply one of the best, well-rounded mirrorless cameras we've tested to date, so we would say, yes. Sony currently dominates the mirrorless camera market, and with continual product offerings like the A6300, it...
