The A6300 is slowly shipping out. And with more people getting hands on it we also learn more about the A6300 issues. As with any new camera there are always things that are not perfect. I hope Sony will take note of those things and fix them via firmware upgrade:

Thanks Josh!

Tony Northup tested the new 24-70mm GM lens and made quite a statement at the end. He says he would rather pickup up that lens with the A7rII than an equivalent Nikon or Canon!

David Kilpatrick from Photoclubalpha had the chance to test the new Voigtländer FE 15mm f/4.5 lens. And he writes:

“I have to say this lens is just outstanding optically. It resolved such fine detail that on the interior view at night of the Resorts World mall, moiré patterns are thrown up by the pattern of pegboard type holes in the architectural ceiling surface. I’ve been testing lenses for over 40 years now and this is simply one of the best lenses I have used. This particular interior is almost like a 3D test target for lenses, too!”

The lens will ship by end of April at BHphoto and Robert White UK.

A6000 vs A6300 by Imaging Resource

We have some new A6300 test:

1) The image above shows how big the improvement on the new A6300 is. Imaging Resource writes.

2) Fstoppers tested the A6300 and writes:

The lack of in-body 5-axis image stabilization is one of the biggest differences when comparing the camera to the a7II series. If we look at the a6300 as an action shooter however, which seems to be the way its been marketed, it can be understood that high shutter speeds aren’t benefitting from image stabilization anyways, and instead there can be improvements made to high ISO image quality and also maintain the sub-$1,000 price point.

3) Mark Forman at Fdtimes writes:

Why would you choose the α6300 over the α7R Mark II? Well, you probably would want to have both! But if you had to choose, this one offers value for the cost, speed of focus and light weight. You do lose a little versatility, however. There’s no headphone jack. There are fewer customizable buttons. It’s not a full frame 24 x 36mm, 42 Megapixel sensor. Having both cameras is really the best choice as each has its own virtues.

4) Mike Kobal did a Sony A6300 vs A7rII comparison:

My overall impression since I received the A6300, a wonderful little tool for stills and video, as long as you keep its limitations in mind.
Can you guess which clips came from the A6300 and which from the A7rII? :)

As you know Phase One recently announced the XF 100MP Camera System. It uses a 101 Megapixel Sony medium format sensor. And if you want to see some new full size image samples click on those links provided by DCfever:

It loads slowly and of course you need a fast computer to work on those files. But you better get used to that because I am pretty sure 100+ megapixel sensors will be common on Sony Alpha cameras in a year or two too. After all isn’t that the reason why Sony launched the new Gm lens line?  :)
