Since mirrorless cameras ( mirrorless or EVIL) are at this level, it's hard to resist them. The struggle between brands to get hold of this booming market does not stop giving us constant improvements and advances.
Undoubtedly, one of the brands that stands out in this segment is Sony, which has made a strong commitment to this type of camera with more than outstanding results. The magnificent Sony A6300 is one of its flagships and I already warn you, it does not disappoint.
If you are lucky enough to have a good budget in your pocket to get your first, second or third camera, make room for this article, because this could be the camera of your dreams ? .
DIRECTED TO…
This camera is aimed at the medium-high fan who is looking for a light, robust and ultra-fast camera and who knows how to take advantage of its high performance.
Although the focus speed is good for us on any occasion, I see an action camera in this camera. If your thing is to photograph and hunt for movement (sports, children, etc.) this is a great option because it boasts of having the fastest autofocus on the market (0.05s).

THE BEST
Undoubtedly, what stands out most about this camera is the speed and quality of its autofocus, of 0.05s, and its multitude of focus points from its hybrid system (425 for phase detection and 169 for contrast detection), which translates in a very effective camera to maintain the focus in scenes in constant movement.
It also highlights the shooting speed of up to 11fps, as well as the lightness, small size, but at the same time the robustness of its magnesium alignment body or its folding screen of 921,600 points.
Its great image quality thanks to its latest generation sensor and processor, with 24MP and good dynamic range and noise control, also stand out in this little gem from Sony.
And of course 4K video recording.
WORST
It does not have a stabilizer in the body, and you have to go look for it in the optics.
The starting price of the camera exceeded a thousand euros (only the body), although today it has dropped considerably since it went on sale. However, it is still a high price out of the reach of many enthusiastic photographers, because you have to add optics to the body (and a good one that is up to this marvel) ? .
I always think that the problem is not in buying a very good camera (most of them today are) but in buying optics that are up to the task and can take advantage of the economic investment we make in the camera body. And after this reflection, let's see the gallery ? .

CONCLUSIONS
The truth is that it is a camera with few buts for anyone who can afford it and intends to squeeze all its possibilities. A light, robust camera, with excellent image quality and features that are sometimes almost professional.
