The Sony A6300 serves as the follow-up to one of the most popular cameras in recent years, the A6000. Given the predecessor's top marks, it's a tough act to follow. Sony's pulled it off, though, packing in so many new features and performance improvements.

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

The Sony Alpha A6300 updates the A6000 , which will remain on the market, and adds a number of improvements, including a new 24.2 megapixel sensor for improved low light performance, 4K video and faster readout speed to enable improved shooting performance.

11fps continuous shooting with AF; Excellent image quality possible; Excellent video quality and options; Rapid focus and wide focus area; Great noise performance; Weather-sealed body (when used with FE lenses; High-resolution electronic viewfinder; USB charging; plus USB power; Wi-Fi and NFC...

Increased price over the previous model (although quite easily justified; Use of FE (Full-frame) lenses will noticeably increase the size of the system; Touch-screen would be nice

The Sony A6300 replaces the two year old A6000 as Sony's premium APS-C Alpha offering. The A6300 retains a similar outward appearance to its predecessor, although the new camera does feature full weather sealing against dust and moisture ingress.

It's hard to find fault with this camera. Yes, it's expensive (￡1,000 body only, or ￡1,100 with a 16-50mm kit zoom lens), but not crazily so. I'd imagine that there'll be better deals available for the A6300 if you're willing to wait a few months.

Fast; accurate autofocus; Great image quality; even in low light; Invaluable OLED viewfinder; Compact; lightweight and sturdy build

Pretty pricey

Top quality compact camera for pictures and v4k video. Highly recomended

I didn't use my DSLR much so I went for a smaller mirrorless camera instead. It does have a cropped sensor but takes great pictures and event better videos. The strap attachment makes jangling noises that come into the video

I've had this camera for a little while now and it is very similar to the Sony A6000 that I had previously. It takes a little while to get to understand the menu system but it is very well organised and quite quickly you are able to move around the menus like a pro and get just the effect you are...

I purchased camera this because I could not afford to upgrade my A7R to the A7R II and wanted 4K Video capture. As well, I liked the idea of having an even more compact camera than the A7R and the A6300 with it's smaller sensor providing a 1.5x magnification of my existing FE lenses, was actually...

I took advantage of thw sony cashback offer through John Lewis making this a lot of camera for the money. As a beginner I found the camera to use. The amount of control available allowed me to capture some fantastic low light images of waterfront city-scapes.

Perfect for beginners
