Sony's A6300 is a step forward for mid-tier mirrorless cameras
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. Now the company is following up with the A6300, a $1,000 (body-only) shooter with top-of-the-line specs designed for photographers and videographers alike. We've seen this formula play out well for Sony with some of its other recent models, but now it's hoping for similar results on a camera that doesn't cost north of three grand.
24 hours with Sony's A6300 mirrorless camera
Last month, Sony introduced its A6300 mirrorless camera, a follow-up to the sought-after A6000 from 2014. As expected, the company's latest compact Alpha shooter brings top-of-the-line specifications. That includes a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, a Bionz X image processor, 11-fps continuous shooting, ISO up to 52,000 and 4K video in Super 35mm. In particular, Sony is emphasizing the A6300's newly developed 4D Focus, which is capable of locking in on a subject in a ridiculous 0.05 seconds. That's speedier than basically every other camera available right now.
Sony's A6300 mirrorless camera shoots 4K in Super 35mm
In similar fashion to Canon, Sony saved its best for after CES 2016. Today, at an event in New York City, the company revealed the A6300 mirrorless camera, a long-awaited successor to the A6000 from two years ago. As we're now accustomed to with Sony's latest Alpha products, the A6300 can shoot 4K, although this one does it in Super 35mm format -- which, Sony says, makes for the best video quality in any of its consumer shooters.
