I traded in my DSLR (which I loved) in favour of something I could carry around the mountains more easily. My current weapon of choice is the 6300 paired with either the Sigma 30mm or 16mm prime lens. Stunning quality images in an incredibly portable package. Couldn't be more pleased.

Body Only 06/07/2020 by DesignerPat
I bought this camera as an alternative to the ubiquitous iphone camera. I wanted something not much bigger, with the same ease of use but with changeable settings and lenses. My search led to the Sony. It is better, but not as easy to use as an iphone. It will partitally connect to my iphone, but its a hassle. the menus are difficult to navigate, and not intuitive, and it should be. Needs a redesign by a product designer not a electrician

Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 14/05/2020 by koradiasun
The picture taking quality is average. I have iphone 8 and compared to it the pictures which I get from Sony a6300 is just OK. I have "E 18–200mm F3.5–6.3 OSS LE" lens but the pictures I get from this is not something which would make to you speak Awesome.

I've had the camera over a year now using it with a 18-135mm. zoom lense, very happy with it but I wanted a bit more range so I bought a SEL 24240. On trying the lense I keep thinking it is more suited to a full frame camera.

camera designed to be difficult to use
Body Only 03/12/2019 by aver age persona
I found 4K video unusable, HD video fine for my needs Image quality very good SD card file organisation very frustrating. Menu system nightmarish, unintuitive and clunkier than competing menu design. No intelligible logic to menu assignments. No manual LCD monitor/EVF viewfinder toggle button. With eye sensor set to automatic camera cannot be used with monitor extended Not allowed to assign custom button to manually toggle viewfinders Exposure modes seem very glued to 100 ISO Every now and then camera refuses to focus, resolved by pointing camera on something close and forcing focus Button override or custom button to toggle between viewfinders missing Missing viewfinder toggle button makes for very clunky use

6300 over 6500
ILCE-6300 / ILCE-6300L / ILCE-6300M 21/08/2019 by ABib
This is a great camera and has all the features and more for an entry level professional camera , In particularly for shooting video. I also have the 6500 and for the benefit of image stabilisation and a touch screen, I vote for the 6300, especially if using in conjunction with a gimbal or on a tripod that both assist with stabilisation. Only real issue is turning off due to overheat at around 30 mins recording time. Batteries are a bit poor on life but again better on 6300 than the 6500.

Still relevant in 2019
Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 20/07/2019 by Bking
Put side by side with the a6500 and a6400 in the real world the a6300 performs on a par in almost every department. Get yourself a good lens with stabilization and your a6300 will be relevant for another 4 years.

I bought this camera after surfing the performance of what seemed like a hundred alternatives. I wanted a camera I could pop on my pocket when I was visiting places of interest on my own. I am nearly 80 years of age and have MS. My mobility is not too good. This camera allows me to take the shots I want to take without lugging a Canon 5D MkIII around.

Slightly disappointed
Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 14/07/2019 by Luke1990
After spending over £1100 on the camera, accessories and an additional lens I was expecting a lot more for my money. The moble app is very buggy, its 50/50 if it'll actually work and allow you to wireless connect and transfer pictures. However the main issue appeared after 2 weeks use. The screen started to show white dots, I initally thought these were dead pixels so I took the camera back to the Jessops store where it purchased it from. The sales assistsnt thought the dots were due dust on the sensor so they gave it a clean but this did not solve the issue. The store was not able to identify the issue nor did they think it was dead pixels so it was decided to send the camera back Sony for inspection. It's been 3 weeks and I've not heard anything from either Sony or Jessops.

Body + 18-135mm Zoom Lens 01/03/2019 by J15000_5
I bought a about 2 years ago, while applying the 2.01 firmware update successfully, any a week after the update I got the incompatible battery message and the unit was bricked. Just to be clear I was using the original Sony battery supplied with the unit. With days to go on my 2nd year warranty, I contacted Sony, the unit was sent back, and ended up having the c board replaced. Not sure what if the update messed it up or not. But wasn't impressed, but sony had been nothing but nice, updated me on the repair apologised about the repair taking so long etc. I now have the camera back again and is working for now. I love the a6300, video & photos ease of use, easy to carry around. Simply an awesome piece of kit. I would highly recommend.

Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 25/02/2019 by Swoop1
I bought this lovely bit of kit a little while ago. I wanted to upgrade from my a350 which was starting to get a bit tired and was difficult to use during my other visual hobby- astronomy. For me, the best bit of added functionality for the astrophotography is the ability to link the camera to a tablet or mobile phone via its inbuilt wi-fi hub. This link gives live view on the device and therefrore I get a much larger live image to enable me to achieve sharp focus on very dim pinpoints of light. The link also facilitates shutter activation from the tablet so no remote cables or IR remotes. As a future benefit, linking the camera to a laptop via cable allows complete control of aperture and shutter speed meaning, if I ever set up a permanant mount in the garden, I can sit in the warmth of the lounge and operate the camera! Finally, after acquiring an LA-EA3 adapter, I can also use my alpha mount lenses on my new E mount baby.

Absolutely love this camera coming from the canon T3i, the autofocus is great pictures come out incredible . And video capability is just out of this world. However I wasn’t very fortunate . I bought this camera and a few months after a6400 with better colours and brighter screen when recording in 4K . So I dunno I can’t recommend this camera and wish I had waited for the a6400. Already spent money now. But it’s workable . And I like it . Hopefully when I can afford the a6400 I’ll buy it .

I usually shoot on an FS5, A7iii or A7Sii, I wanted a little camera to throw in my bag when travelling and the a6300 is perfect for that. Easy to use, great quality images and video.

Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 16/02/2019 by Jamesdb
I brought this camera before I went on a trip to South Africa. Before this camera I had only borrowed off friends. The Camara was simple to navigate around after a few YouTube tutorials. As it was quite small I was always able to carry it with me, the fast autofocus made taking photos of surfers and dynamic wildlife really easy.

Body + 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens 16/02/2019 by david8732
I purchased the Sony a6300 in the summer of 2018 to mainly use as a video camera, I also bought the 16-50 power zoom and a 35mm f1.8 for a more cinematic feel to my footage. Build quality is ok, nothing spectacular but it seems decently well put together, the EVF is crisp and bright and the AF speed both for video and still is very fast and accurate. Disappointments include a lack of custom function buttons, a quite ridiculous menu and a lack of any touch screen and ibis. I knew about these of course, but there were many times I needed a touch screen and ibis would have been good. Overall ok and the price was an attraction.

Body + 18-135mm Zoom Lens 16/01/2019 by Joeby
I've had this camera for abut a month and so far it hasn't disappointed. I've mostly been using it for photography when I'm out on hikes or in nature and I really love how small and portable the camera is. Even with the kit lens I was able to get some really great results. I've not tested the video much yet apart from the super slo mo which is a great feature. Looking forward to using this more. One downside as someone who lives in a PAL region is that the High Frame Rate setting can only be used in NTSC mode. This was something I had no idea about before purchase. It means you have to format the card every time you switch from PAL to NTSC which is irritating. Apart from that, very happy. The build quality is very obvious, the camera feels great in your hand, made of mostly metal which can withstand a bit more wear and tear.

I have now been using this camera for a few months and I love it. The feature of this camera are excellent. Both for photo and video. I have added a couple of lenses to the kit lens but even the kit lens is good as a starter lens. The camera itself is a great size for travel with amazing quality photos. I would recommend getting a couple of extra batteries if you will be using this a lot as the battery life isn't great but this is probably due to all the things the camera does.
