Sony announce the a6300

[Mysterae_]

So not even a week after I getting my Sony a6000 and lenses (the 18-105 PZ just arrived in the post today ) Sony announces the a6300 !

Available in a few weeks ($1,000 or $1,150 with kit lens, around £700 and £800 in our money) and it looks very nice.

I'm very happy with my newly acquired a6000, the price tag of the a6300 would have been too high after adding lenses and stuff.

The Verge review.

Anyone interested in the Sony a6300?

No touchscreen and no IBIS, very surprising. Features and improvements seems to be focusing on the video side of things.

It makes the A6000 even more of a bargain in my eyes.

Totally agree, it's half the price but not half the camera.

To those of you with the A6000, can I pick your brainz on how it performs? Specifically I'm interested in its' low-light capability, how well you feel it handles it on auto, as well as what its' burst mode and video are like?

Considering getting one, but I'd like some real-world opinions of it first Cheers!

I'm still quite the noob when it comes to the a6000 but so far I'm impressed. See my other thread in this section for some examples of low light images.

Was waiting for this to be released to (hopefully) drop the A6000 prices further. Don't really need the improvements, especially for the price difference...

I don't think the a6000 will drop much further south of £400 and you've just missed out on Sony's £50 cashback offer too (finished end of January I think).
