Sony Alpha 6300 Mirrorless Black 2016
Its 425-point phase-detection autofocus locks on in 0.05 seconds, enabling sharp 11fps bursts, and the 24.2MP APS-C sensor delivers oversampled 4K from a full pixel readout. The weather-sealed, 427g body includes a sharp 2.4M-dot OLED viewfinder and a 16-50mm retractable zoom for all-day portability. This camera suits sports and wildlife photographers needing fast, accurate AF and a rugged, compact build for outdoor shooting.
