According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Sony A6300 is a system camera with 4K video for advanced photographers. The camera has a 24-megapixel sensor and 425 focus points, which means the sensor doesn't just focus on the subject, but also on its surroundings. This helps prevent blurry backgrounds and helps you capture razor-sharp photos. With its water-resistant and dustproof body, this camera can handle various weather conditions. Continuous shooting is easy with this camera, reaching 11 frames per second. It's also possible to record slow-motion video. Do you want to take photos in the evening without having to worry about a flash? No problem. The light-sensitive sensor has an ISO range of up to 51,200. You can easily share your best photos thanks to integrated WiFi.

I was tempted to buy by the many positive reviews I read. And especially on the points autofocus and image quality. Now that I have owned the camera for a while, I can only underline the positive reactions.
The autofocus is fast, accurate and very accurate even in low light. Comes in handy when shooting sunsets. Another positive point is that you can adjust the camera to your own needs. For example, I have placed the parts that I use a lot under the Fn button, so that they are immediately accessible. The photos can easily be transferred to the laptop via WiFi. When I open the images in Lightroom, it is noticeable that the images are sharp and full of color and it appears that the camera has a large dynamic range.
The only minor flaws are the display and the lack of a command dial on the front. The display can be tilted and the brightness can also be adjusted, but I don't think the readability is great. Fortunately, there is still the electronic viewfinder, which is good and clear. If, like me, you shoot in manual mode, you set the aperture with a dial on the top/back and the shutter speed with a dial on the back. For this, however, you have to take the camera off your eye again and again to get to the wheel properly. Awkward! This can be easily solved with a command dial on the front of the camera.
Despite these minor flaws, nothing but praise for this camera. You will not regret the purchase. The camera is easy to understand and use for both beginners (in automatic mode) and advanced users.

Handy compact camera, ideal for beginners and advanced. I'm used to an SLR camera, but this one certainly meets my requirements and is easy to use, and you also get sharp photos with this camera. I take a lot of pictures of children and these don't sit still, even then he makes beautiful pictures. The menu is simple and everything can be set manually. Videos are also of good quality and everything is easy to send via WiFi

The Sony A6300 is a top camera for people who want to vlog, make video clips, and possibly photos. I am currently using it to make promotional videos and short video clips. It shoots beautiful 4k quality videos and, moreover, it is so lightweight that it is not a burden to take it with you on the road. The automatic face recognition is certainly one of the cool features that Sony has to offer in terms of cameras. At least you don't have to manually adjust the focus anymore.
My only regret is that the batteries run out quickly. And the camera will overheat if you let it shoot 4k for too long.
Definitely recommended for the intermediate photographer/filmographer.
