I am a very amateur photographer with an interest in dark sky/astrophotography. My daughter has the A6000 and I stepped up to the A6300. She loved the A6000, but it missed a couple of features that I was looking for: 1) Rapid shooting (not for astro); 2) silent mode (no shutter...

Technically advanced, but the Sony a6300’s controls aren’t in line with the high price

You can assign any of 65 functions to any of 10 customizable buttons as you like. This makes operation more intuitive, quick and easy, and is extra-convenient for accessing such functions as starting and stopping of movie recording and switching between viewfinder and monitor.

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...

The camera is clearly a great quality camera for the money. But it's not the easiest to use. Especially coming over from your standard DSLR (canon or Nikon). I don't care for the dial by the screen. But it gives you some great quality shots. Just not as easy to adjust on the fly.

Very pleased with this camera after a week of use! Is really a camera that keeps the measure even though it has a few years in the neck.

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.

I have had three Sony cameras and all have failed. I initially had a Sony Alpha 55 which failed after 12 months. Sony's service was subpar and after quite a while I finally got it back and it is still used by my daughter.
