Buy an a6000 a year ago. I was thinking change it to get 4k, slow motion... I mostly shoot musics videos. After doing a music video, I decide to keep it. Today am surprised by what I can do with this little old camera. I want to upgrade, cause of slow motion and better low light performance.
Made the leap to Sony from Canon (for videography) several months ago and never looking back! Picked up the Sony A6300 for a fair price and it never fails to deliver for me! Definately worth the money especially if you can pick up a good quality one second hand :) Love the vid xx
The a6300 was my first investment back in 2018 to start getting into videos and absolutely no regrets! Thanks for the quality review and subbed from Brunei!
can you try to get your hands on the zeiss 24 1.8 and zeiss 16-70mm, and do some sample images and video? I have those 2 lenses but i would love to see how to bring the best out of them. thanks again for the great content,tips, and tricks
Using an a6400 myself I have often felt peer pressure for the need to go full-frame but after seeing what you are doing it really seals the deal that Sony APSC is amazing (and so much more affordable)! Have a great rest of your week. Cheers! - Brett
feel you,,,,, there's a reason though :( I did several low light test videos comparing Sony apsc & full frame===results speak for themselves,,,,BUT using 4k 24fps on Sony's apsc cameras will bring a very good result
After doing many home made films with a gopro hero 3+ I decided to buy a big boy and went with the A6300, thanks for helping ease my mind with this purchase!
Thank you man this video was straight to the point with valuable informations and most importantly your personal opinions in use of the camera and not just reading the specs from a piece of paper ! Subscribed and waiting for more !
I love this camera too. I got it first in 2017 to shoot my travel videos with it did some client work with it without any problem. Compact and powerful, it is great for videos. Only minus is no IBIS. But I agree it is a great entry level camera for videos still worth buying in 2020. Love your videos! Keep it up! :)
Great value for its money .Very good autofocus ,night performance ,descent dynamic range ,slog -2 and 3 -slow motion 120 fps I am very pleased with this camera
It's a great camera with the exception of the battery life and the overheating. The 60 and 120 modes are also pretty soft, but that's true on all of the A6xxx cameras.
Battery life is lala, but I own like 10+ batteries so it's np and they are cheap (the 3rd party ones). Overheating is a little problem in 4k only but I come from Iceland and film here so I don't experience it to much I have to admit lol.
Hey, I was really confused as I being a new content creator (cooking channel) on what could be a budget camera where I can get 120fps in 1080p. And your video solves the problem for shooting my cooking videos in Slow Motion. Thanks a lot and keep making more informative content on how to shoot videos. You got a new subscriber. All the best!
I have 2 FF Sony camera's and still have the A6300.What I love about it is the Sony Playmemories app which is gold. I use it for B Roll, Timelapse, Safety Camera (Unlimited Recording), Focus Stacking. I tried the A6600 and even though the battery and AF improvements are great. I still think the A6300 is still a good workhorse.
Found your channel randomly. Love that sometimes you talk in Icelandic (is your language called Icelandic?) The A6300 is good quality if you know how to properly use it!
Excellent friend! I have 2 a6300 I film events, weddings, vlogs, whatever appears, and they are firm and strong, in a country with a shaky economy like mine (Brazil) these Sony cameras are special and very adored. I love my bad boys. Greetings from Brazil. Att. Roberto
you'll like it! I mean the a6400 is a great camera, and it is a little upgrade, but tbh it's not a whole lot of an upgrage. I would have loved to see a bigger uppgrade :)
@@thaticelandicguy the 200 dollars price difference is outrageous, maybe I would like it but I think I'll just get the a6300 and use the spare money to invest on good lenses:)
hear you, I had a hard time saying goodbyes to mine,,, made lots of youtube videos with it,,,, a6300 is so good that if some1 doesnt need flippy screen then theres berely any reason to upgrade to a6400
I have a Sony a7iii I just bought a used a6300+kit lens, with under 7000 shutter for 450€. The a6300 is great for Street photography, very compact with great features, also it extends my ff lenses 1.5x, great alternative to a similarly priced teleconverter, if you don't mind the crop sensor.
I had the 6300 for almost 3 years and I decided to buy the 6400 and sell my 6300 but than i had a second thought and decided to keep it and i shot my latest video ua-cam.com/video/ogNFoXuYIFY/v-deo.html with both of them.
I’ve just purchased one secondhand for a very reasonable price on eBay and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Tbh, I didn’t expect to be the winning bidder and I’m not yet invested in the Sony eco system. I may have a play and sell it on, or I may convert to Sony. Currently I use Olympus em1 ii and em10iii and have my fair share of mft lenses. The weather sealed and range finder style of the a6300 is appealing though and that’s why I got it. The lack of ibis may pull me back to Olympus. One other thing I think will irritate me is lack of dual dials on the top plate, but I’ll play with an open mind and see how I feel. At least one camera will be sold after I’ve had a play with it.
It’s a great camera. I love mine. I have an A7r2 also. I grab the a6300 a lot more because it’s so compact and it shoots great photos and video, too. I use the a7r2 mostly for landscape. I Love the a6300.
I got my a6300 w/ kit lens and cage for 500CAD and yup worth it. At retail price the a6400 makes more sense for aps-c. Added a sigma 16 1.4 and for my needs, talking head video, for 1080p conferencing it is crushingly good and the other sony aps-c offering aren't any better.
@@TheMinecraftDJStudio Yup. The Sigma 16 1.4 lens I just purchased cost more than my camera and the kit lens. For my purposes, talking head video, 1080p, this is a very hard combination to beat at any price. I need to improve my lighting and background at this point.
I actually never buy tech that's less than 5 years old except when I really need it for a specific purpose. Thus, I get to enjoy all the new products of 2016 this year, while paying a fraction of their original cost :D
I'd still recommend an a6300 to people in 2020 for sure. I mean I shoot on an a6000 that I baught for $200 US and I've pulled off some amazing street photography work with it. I'm most likely going to upgrade to the a6600 in May though so I can have weather sealing, in body stabilization, and then also get the 16-55 f2.8 but that's big money that I'd never recommend the casual or enthusiast photographer to buy personally. I'm just ready to step into the world of more professional work so I'm springing for a bit better body and glass to go along with that. But as for the topic of the video really the a6100, a6300, and even the a6400 are all wonderful options for the beginner or enthusiast photographer and I would definitely recommend any of them.
@@azizzbulut a6300 all day especially if you want to do any kind of video with it as well or down the road. The a6300 is a great choice though especially if you are at the beginning of your journey or just now jumping into mirrorless DSLRs.
I just bought my A6300 from the look of it. I loved it, but I am a newbie to the photography world. Would you mind suggesting me some training and how to set my camera on specific settings in specific conditions, some tips, and tricks for good quality photos and videos? I would appreciate your help with this.
Thanks for the advice. I'm a beginner, will definitely look into the A6300 now :) @4:57 Do you remember which lens you were using, that is some crisp image!
Trying to decide between this and the A7ii. I mostly do photography with the occasional video - coming from a Panasonic G85 (which shoots 4k), the A7ii may seem to be a downgrade but I never really found myself shooting in 4k anyway. I know both the A7ii and the A6300 will be better than my G85 for photography, I'm just struggling to pick between full frame or newer tech. Any ideas?
ah I understand you - I've never tried the A7ii so I'm not sure, but I think it's good. My friend who is a full time filmaker shoots everything on the A7Sii and loves it. But i'm afraid I can't really give a propper answer other then I've really like my a6300 haha :)
@@thaticelandicguy Maybe I'll go for the A6300 then, seems better value to get something that works for both photo and video. Hearing that you use it professionally with great results is very reassuring! :)
@@strikko4531 I've had a similar dilemma recently. I was trying to decide if I wanted to go a6600 to stick with all the apsc glass I all ready have or sell all the glass and go with the a7iii for the much better low light preformance since I am a street photographer and am pushing the limits of these cameras often. Ultimately though the deciding factor for me personally is the a6600 is actually more weather sealed than the a7iii which why Sony doesn't weather seal their cameras more blows my mind but that's another story. So really since I shoot photography in a very rainy area I have to go with the a6600 to be able to shoot photography year round.
Ahh youre the perfect person to learn from since i want to do photography in iceland when i visit again. Could you tell me if this camera accepts micro four third lens from panasonic/olympus?
Awesome, thanks I’ll be buying one just from this vid, just subscribed, I’m a beginner and I’ll be getting into some photography for personal use. Which gimbal can I equip with and also what app do you use to put everything into a video? Thanks in advance.

Me: watches this video to justify my purchase

me.. even after a year its stil amazing a bargain at €400
Me too 😂
I’m buying this camera as my back up camera based on this review, thank you my friend 🎥👌
awesome!
Still rocking my a6300 2020, Shot hundreds of projects with it and I won't be switching anytime soon. Nice video TIG 👊
Thanks, same here! Now it's my 2nd camera 😉
How can you all have the money for all that
Idk why everybody be so quick to switch when a new camera drops. I just rather out that money into lenses and accessories
Any problems with overheating?

to his defense, he has a separate video from 2024 where he recommends a6300:
