The a6300 is Sony’s flagship APS-C (crop sensor) mirrorless camera. (update: the Sony a6500<\/a> was announced early October ’16).  This impressive and powerful little camera uses Sony E-mount interchangeable lens, compatible with full-frame cameras like the a7R II<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The previous a6000 proved a very capable camera for underwater photographers, with neat tricks like rapid strobe fire with sync cords<\/a>, and we have found that the a6300 meets and beats that impressive performance.<\/p>\n

The headlining features of the new Sony a6300 camera are the incredibly fast 4D autofocus using an impressive 425 phase-detection AF points, a new image sensor producing the incredible image quality Sony is known for, and 4K video recording.<\/p>\n

I took the Sony a6300 to back-to-back photo workshops in Indonesia, putting the camera and available lenses through about 50 dives for this review.<\/p>\n

U.S. Retail Price:  $999 (body only)<\/em><\/p>\n
