Our bottom line for the Sony a6300 4K mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is that this is one superb, well priced shooter for almost any consumer or even prosumer needs. If you want high performance and especially high low light performance on a budget, we strongly recommend the a6300.

Excellent high resolution photos; Amazingly fast Auto Focus at 0.05 seconds; 425 phase detection points; 4K video with no pixel binning; Tough; rugged build; Great price

Very capable camera, weather sealing and a magnesiaum alloy body don't add too much of a weight penalty compared to its little brother A6000. It also has a full metal lens mount if you are planning to use heavier lenses.

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 ago.
