Sony Alpha a6300 Black 2016
65 out of 100 high confidence 28 reviews
The Sony a6300 delivers excellent still and 4K video quality, with impressive autofocus and solid build. However, the battery life is a major pain point, draining even when the camera is off, which forces users to carry spares. The menu system is often described as confusing and not photographer-friendly, but for the price, the image output is hard to beat.
