Product Reviews

I went to London in November 25 and I wanted a smaller body to replace my a 74, I never expected that this camera would outperform my expectations of focus and low light when compared to my a 74. I was over impressed with its performance. In hindsight, if I knew of this little powerhouse camera before my a 74 purchase, I would’ve gone there instead, and diverted the money towards lenses. Bravo for making this camera Sony.

Better than the a6000 more functionality and better autofocus.

I have had this camera for 8 years. It has proven itself in a range of situations, from sports photography, with a telephoto lens (100-400mm) as well as portraits and landscapes. We also have a professional videographer in the family who frequently borrows my camera

I've had this camera a few weeks and I am very impressed with it. Shoots great images and the 4K video is excellent. The camera is easy to use and the customise button feature is very good. I still haven't worked out how to use the picture profiles yet but it seems straight forward.

I bought this camera a month ago and absolutely love it, I also bought a zeiss 16-70mm f4 lens to use with it and am over the moon with the combination. Every shot is a keeper, brilliant gear Sony. Just a perfect lightweight everyday camera.

I bought this camera specifically to try astrophotography with my 600mm telescope. Although I’m a beginner at this I’m very impressed with the camera. The fact that it’s mirrorless means that I can turn it to electronic shutter and take numerous photos, (eg 200 or so for stacking), without any wear on the mechanism and without increasing the shutter count. So far I’ve only done photos of the moon and planets but I’m very impressed. My only problems so far have been with the complexity of using it. It seems like hundreds of settings and an awful lot to learn. One thing that I don’t like is Sony’s Imaging Edge program to link my smartphone and laptop to the camera. The smartphone app links okay but is very limited in what it will do. I’ve now bought a third party app to give me full intervalometer functions. The Windows app for the laptop won’t connect to the camera at all so I’ve given up on it.

What was a great camera experience has destroyed all faith in the SONY camera brand for me and means intended purchases of much more expensive A7R4 have been binned permanently. This unit was bought new and is rated at 100,000 shutter activations but mine didn't even make it to 48,000. If this is what one can expect from a SONY camera I would suggest you look at other brands before investing in their ecosystem.

Bought it a while ago. So impressed by the quality. Great companion in my job.

I have owned this camera for a few months now and really enjoy using it and have got some nice photos. Worth buying Sony lenses to go with it.

Had this camera now for a couple of years and with out doubt it's been a brilliant first camera. A step up from the A6000 but still at a perfect entry point. Compact, sharp and solid autofocus are just a few benefits of this camera. If you were to get into photography a little more though, you may be left wanting more or a larger sensor, that's where I'm currently at now. But overall it has served me well and I can't complain about the performance or price.

The a6300 is an excellent camera body for my use case (holiday/family candid photography and astrophotography), easy to use and lightweight makes taking it out with me on any given day a no brainer. The kit lens (18-50PZ) is the single worst lens I have used in around 30 years of photography, the focus is soft and the lens lacks clarity - it got used for the first few days before being put back in the box and I would only use it if I absolutely could not fit anything bigger in my bag.

I have been using Sony products for as long as I can remember. Every product I used, cameras, TVs, surround sound systems, computers like this one, cell phones, etc, the look, the feel, the ease of use up until the smart technology took over, the sound, views, sharpness of the pictures, were second to none! Sony has always been the numero uno cutting edge electronics leader. Even though the stock market will not admit the greatness of the Sony products the proof is in the pudding! A few years ago I came across 2 other brands which I could purchase for a steal. I acquired these 2 products, one a compact camera and the other was a SMART TV. After using Only Sony products for so long these other ones seemed like apples to thistles. The quality of all the mid to higher end Sony products have been amazing to say the least. When blu ray first came out I was, well, what can I say? Blu ray was so far ahead of anything up until 4k arrived on the scene, and I will argue that blu ray is still better then 4k. Take the VAIO. There are two computer brands that show up in movies. Some of the biggest movie titles that showed computers VAIO was there. I'm using one now. I just wish I had my old one with the backlit keyboard. The battle for the best sound in headphones has always been fierce. I was a koss guy with the pro4/AA which were to me the best sound ever in headphones. That is until the virtual surround sound was introduced, then Sony just recently blew away the competition with the 360 virtual mixing environment cordless WF headphones that will take some kind of magic to beat. No matter what kind of reviews Sony has to put up with when a new product hits the market like OLED 4k , oops scratch that 8K. What companies are even trying to compete with that? If they did they would sink, unless they are very quick with reverse engineering in such a way as to not show any Sony tech. . .Well scratch that too! It ain't gonna happen. So let the jealous ones who give everything a bad rap stick to their mediocre sub-tech gizmos while Sony screams by the competition. My camera! My first SLR camera was purchased over seas while I was in the navy. It was a top of the line other brand, and it took great pictures, that is as long as they were in focus. It had no autofocus, but it did have a feature I miss that allows the shutter to be cocked without advancing the film for multiple exposures on one frame. Jump ahead 40 years and welcome to the megapixel. I didn't really understand that term until I saw the Hubble telescope aimed at earth with 4 gigapixel resolution. The image that was created by that lens was shone on a very large table as a tiny dot. This dot got larger and larger as the projector zoomed in, and zoomed in, and zoomed in 500 more times until one pebble in the asphalt on a NY city street was in the whole frame it was as clear as if you stood looking at it in real time. This is what a megapixel does. If you want to see some amazing video, and a real and distinct view of how a higher MP creates stunning, amazingly stunning video look on youtube at the Hasselblad 400 megapixel videos. Even with a mediocre TV or computer monitor the views are breathtaking. Bring on the Alpha 1 with 50mp full frame camera with so many new advancements, I'm thinkin the rest are in awe! Even though the MP rating is higher the rest of the features in the Alpha 1 far overshadow the rest, plus most of the other high MP rated cameras do not have full frame technology. In my MHO the spec sheet does not lie, and it is always the bottom line in the race to produce the best. Sony's specs have always amazed!

I've been using this camera for over a year. From experience I found that the photography capabilities of this camera is outstanding and video capabilities of S log allows more people to get into a cinema video production in an indie production or professional. The only issue I have with this camera is the battery and and the lack of USB type C. I was considering getting A7C but the photography capabilities of that camera does not match this.

2021年，仲用緊a6000，上星期換左a6300，感想是，十分值得少少的升級，大大的躍進，推薦平民4k

I’ve had this camera for a year, after using an a6000 for 3 years. I love the battery grip and the battery life compared to the a6000. I want to say I love this camera, but I’ve had a problem with the ISO. The ISO works as expected when in manual mode, except when I use an external flash. When reviewing my photos, the ISO with flash was actually 6000, and it was set at 100. When using auto, shutter priority, or aperture priority, the ISO typically jumps to 6,500-32,000 in well lit environments. I’ve called Sony many times.I put the ISO limit on, and the camera bypasses it. Sony finally agreed to repair it. I sent it out for a month, and the ISO continues to be an issue. I asked to have the camera replaced, but they won’t replace it. They want me to send it back to Precision Camera. Precision camera cleaned and reset to factory settings, which I had already done. They also sent me a condescending note the this camera requires an external flash and more than a kit lens. I have many expensive Sony lenses and a few external flashes. I assume this is an electronic problem, I’m not sure what I’ll do next. The image quality from this camera is good when the ISO isn’t too high, but I’ve had many photos ruined because of it. Proceed with caution if you buy it

Lovely to use and not huge like some of the other SLRs

Great camera, well balanced. Easy to use. Setting it up was a real challenge but I think I have it fine now. If only it had image stabilisation.

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.

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

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.

Solid camera, compact and lightweight. Quality images & 4k Video.

got a few a6300 they do what they say , only fault is battery life menu is easy dials are a bit small for me , but yes a good camera.

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.

Im happy with it but if added eye fokus will be better

i bought this camera few a month a got, i really² satisfied with their features

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

The camera works well, short battery life. In hindsight I should had spent the extra for a model that has in-body image stabilization - I would have more options with after market lenses.

bought as an upgrade from an NEX-5 this shares the same superb low light capabilites, and the lenses interchange. The A6300 has the underwater colour balance option, interesting to see how this compares with the external filter I used previously.

I would give five stars but its so bad that timelapse app costs money because on all the other cameras its free...

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.

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.

great camera and 4k video recording very fast focusing and easy to use

I bought this camera as an upgrade from my NEX 6, which is now my back-up APSC camera, and because it came with the excellent 18-125mm lens. Highly recommended.

Buttons became unresponsive after two years. I have treated the camera well. Many people have this issue with the a6000x series, it is documented on the web and youtube. It seems to be related to grease in the shutter button. The issue converts the camera into a $1000 door stop. Sony does not acknowledge the issue. Gonna switch back to Nikon or Canon.

I brought the a6300 to upgrade from my old retired canon 600d and I am very impressed.

only had a6300 a couple of weeks but love it everytime i use it thank you

I purchased this camera because I was getting together with our nine grandchildren. I will take some great pictures of those events. I would have given it five stars except I have spent my hours trying to understand how to get pictures from the camera to my iPad Pro to edit. I spent many hours in my office with no luck. I can use the usb connection to my Windows 10. I got that to work. I have a lighting sd card reader for the iPad that will work for pictures not video. I purchased a lighting to usb cable, but returned it because it would not work. I spent two hours in Best Buy. We downloaded your wi fit program, but that turned out to be a social network program and would not download+ 4K. As of today I have not solved the problem.

Now had camera three weeks and now understand all its great features. The ease of use is wonderful especially to have 90% of the controls I need are all at a single thumb reach

My first mirrorless camera and for the first 18mo. I am really happy with the quality of the images, and regretted not having the time to learn how to use all its features. Not entirely satisfied with the controls (like placement of the video button). What irks me tremendously, and I kick myself for thinking that the "Camera Error" mentioned by other purchasers wouldn't happen to me, is that now, after relatively low usage (only about 2,500 images and a few dozen movies) I'm getting the error on almost every shoot, so I can't rely on the camera. It first happened when shooting a panorama for the first time, so I know it's a shutter error. I've taken to banging it to get it to reset (the only solution I've found that works).

LCD Interface design is out of date, Picture transfer to iPhone is not user friendly

I bought 2 week a go and think it is brilliant ...

Really good one, highly recommended :) very sharp and compact

Great to have, but the price is expensive. The price of 1.1k is high for my budget. The apex of the camera is good and images come out nice.

Bought this camera in january and have been blown away with it since! Lens prices for the camera are expensive though. Video quality is great and same goes for the photos.

For its price, you’re getting good quality compared to its competitors. Lack of tilt-up screen does not bother me too much, and battery life is passable for casual holiday shooting

This is a great camera. I bought it because it was rated high for low light conditions. It works great. I'm a novice photographer, but this camera is easy to use. Area job Sony

Very happy, can not fault the system other than it does not Bluetooth link to latest gimbals. Which is disappointing.

I’m so happy taking my photos...I love my new camera and I’m really recommending Sony A6300

Got this camera for video purposes, the image quality of the 4K frames is excellent, but Full HD (1920 x 1080p) is poor. The image does not degrade much with 60p or 120p though. A good camera overall

I upgraded to the a6300 from a Nikon D3100. The Sony is so compact and feature packed. A massive upgrade and well worth the £699 I paid.

I bought this for 4k video, its very good at this. I have not used it much for photography, as I have a Rx100mk3 for portability and a canon 5d when I want high quality.

小弟已用APC格式的NEX-F3 好多年、最近升級到Alpha 6300。它性能很好、配備425 點 AF Detection及 高ISO感光。支援 Wi-Fi過相、NFC 及 有相機apps 下載。有3 吋 LCD、標準 hot-shoe、可配MIC及閃光或補光燈。支援製作教育及相關的影片。剛剛添加收音咪、可製作更好的影片。

I bought this a month ago to go take photos of killer whales in Canada. I could not be more happy with the results. It’s a VERY user friendly camera that I have fallen in love with.

I bought this month ago and im so happy to use it as my baby

Great camera but developed a fault within a week, now very much disappointed. Appears to be a common issue but no one, Sony help included, appears to have an answer.

I purchased this the Sony Alpha6300 a couple of weeks ago and am so impressed with it, I have not used all the features yet but can't imagine that I would not be impressed. It's easy to hold and use, the menus can be a bit confusing however it's something that you would get used to. .

從NEX-5N, A5100 到 現在的A6300都滿意。唯一是4K錄影的過熱問題有點不方便。另外相機菜單易用度一直沒有改善，比起其他廠商有點落後。 希望Sony可以多開發APS-C的鏡頭。

Upgraded from A6000 mainly for weatherproof feature. Lovely camera for me to learn and develop with.

I bought this a month ago, in general pretty good camera, I'm impressed with the video quality
