The editors didn't like
Dated ergonomics
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
Underpowered LCD at default settings
Display not touch-sensitive
No in-camera raw processing
Pretty pricey
No in-body OIS
'Entry level' manual controls
No touchscreen
Kit lens could be better
No advanced image stabilization
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

Excellent stills image quality in both JPEG and Raw, One of the best APS-C cameras at high ISO, Flexible Raw files with plenty of dynamic range, Class-leading autofocus performance and frame coverage, Superb video quality, Extensive video support features
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, Both dials operated by same digit, rear dial use means switchi
The a6300 is a tremendously capable camera, whether you're looking to shoot stills or video. Getting the best out of the camera requires a bit of work on the user's part but its sheer capability makes this worthwhile. Its image quality is at least match f...
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...

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...

Best continuous AF in its class, Fast 11fps burst shooting or 8fps with live update, Internal 4k video. 1080 at up to 120fps for 5x slo-mo, Compact and light, weather-sealed body, Wifi with NFC and downloadable apps
Screen not touch-sensitive nor fully-articulated, Control dials have minimal tactile feedback, Screen can't be brightened when filming 4k, Maximum shutter speed of 1/4000, Smart Remote app needs updating immediately, Downloaded apps often have separate me
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...
Program and iAuto produce overall excellent quality images, Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record, Outstanding video control provides many professional settings, Popup flash is always available, EVF with high refresh rate provides smoot
Lack of optical image stabilization built into body (as we are seeing on many of the new Sony models)
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...
Excellent image quality; Improved high-ISO performance; Better JPEG quality; Fast autofocus; Very good subject tracking with real-time live view feature; All-magnesium body construction; 4K video,
Slow buffer clearing (no UHS-II support); No touchscreen, Clunky menus; Wi-Fi can be a bit frustrating to use,
Abstract: Contributor Maarten Heilbron recently compared the Sony A6300 with the A6000 and put both through a rigorous test. The above video includes examples and demonstrations, detailed menu walk through. For behind the scenes details, read Maarten's blog at maar...
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...
