Sony Alpha a6300 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only- Black)

For the advanced hobbyist and serious professional who demand high performance photography gear, the Sony a6300 Mirrorless Digital Camera is a superior and powerful option. With the world’s fastest autofocus at 0.05 seconds and the world's most phase detection AF points at 425, the a6300 Mirrorless Digital Camera from Sony is a cut above the rest. Its super fast autofocus system coupled with Sony's BIONZ X image processing engine makes it possible to capture every detail of fast moving subjects.

Perfect for sporting events such as the Indy 500, the a6300's 425 focal plane phase detection AF points are densely positioned the image area, this ensures that fast moving objects can be captured rom a distance without blur. When faced with low light environments, you can rely on the performance power of the a6300's 24.2MP Exmor CMOS image sensor.

Packed with features that help you shoot smarter and faster including a state of the art viewfinder, a tilting LCD screen, and digital level gauge, the Sony a6300 Mirrorless is one the most powerful interchangeable lens cameras you can find!

Powerful 24.2 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor

Thanks to the large surface area of the a6300's powerful 24.2 megapixel increases its surface area which equals a greater amount of light collection for optimal performance in low light settings. With improved sensitivity and faster readout speeds, this state-of-the art chip makes smooth 4K and Full HD high-speed 120fps shooting possible.

High-speed BIONZ X™ Image Processing Engine

How do the superior speed, power and efficiency of the BIONZ X™ image processor unleash the potential and sensitivity of the new image sensor With an algorithm optimized for the new image sensor to provide stills and movies with unrivaled resolution and reproduce greater texture and detail, particularly at mid-to-high ISO settings.

Internal 4K Movie Recording

With the a6300 Mirrorless Digital Camera from Sony, you can capture the ultimate in 4K movie recording resolution and realism. It produces clean, crisp, professional quality video and delivers full pixel readout with no pixel binning--about 2.4x (6x equivalent). This camera has high-bit-rate 120fps XAVC S format for 4K recording, up to 5x slow motion recording Picture Profile, S-Log2/3 Gamma, S-Gamut, PAL/NTSC, dual record, time code, clean HDMI output, and other professional workflow features for cinema-quality video.

Robust Design and Advanced Operability

TheSony a6300 is built to be incredibly durable to optimize the user’s workflow for efficient use and features an extra-smooth XGA OLED Tru-Finder for framing shots. With the conveniently tilt-able LCD screen, you can easily compose high or low angle images.

For comfortable, extended use, this camera has an Enhanced grip and shutter button. With a tough magnesium body, robust lens mount, and dust and moisture resistance features, the Sony a6300 will let you capture stunning photos for many years to come.

Fast AF with 425 Phase-Detection AF Points

The Sony a6300 Mirrorless has a wide field of view with 425 phase-detection AF points for 84 percent frame coverage for better motion tracking. Great for sports or action photography, this highly-advanced autofocus system makes it easier to capture fast moving objects without blur.

S-Gamut/S-Log Shooting

S-Gamut/S-Log shooting give you flexibility to make more expressive movies by performing color grading in post-production. The S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma curves feature wide dynamic range (up to 1300%) to minimize whiteout and blackout. The α6300 even offers impressive 14-stop latitude in S-Log3 gamma setting.The camera also supports S-Gamut, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3. Cine color space from Sony.
