Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Sony Alpha a6300 Mirrorless Camera with 4K Video, Interchangeable APS-C Lens, Auto Focus, 3" LCD Screen, and E Mount - Silver (Body Only) by Virot Moonla แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

The camera, in general, lived up to its expectations. This is a great workhorse for every day. For a long time it was the main working tool on the set (video). It was taken to replace the 5Dm3 boot - after it it seems light as a feather, and in terms of functionality (video) it overtakes the boot by a couple of generations. A constant travel companion, this SEL-20F28 pancake camera sometimes just fits in your pocket. Sonya invariably pleases with light sensitivity, the ability to shoot in low light conditions (the main plus compared to Panas). Also included is a pretty cool autofocus. Now to the disadvantages. The first, very unpleasant, and something that I did not expect before buying, is the quality of shooting in FullHD. It's disgusting, like it's a 600d. Why was it not possible to make an adequate bitrate in FullHD? After all, Sony a6000 was able to do this ! And here it is important to understand that yes, everything is in order when shooting 4k, and nothing, it would seem, prevents it from being compressed into 1080, but: Firstly, in 4k the camera overheats, and, for example, a lecture for forty minutes cannot be recorded in this way. Secondly, you need several times more computer resources to process such a video, that is, in the premiere it is a constant work with a proxy, unless you have a beast for 200 thousand. Thirdly, although this is already a trifle, you have to stock up on SD cards with a total volume of 400-500 gigs. This is a very fat minus for the camera and its usability. The second is the menu and interface. Everything is implemented as crookedly and inconveniently as possible. Achilles' heel sonek. Everyone knows very well about the meager assortment of optics, as well as about its not quite adequate cost. Batteries live for about twenty minutes, but this is easily solved with a power bank in your pocket. The location of the video record button - what a pain, Argentina-Jamaica! In general terms, I knew what I was buying, so I was ready for most of the shortcomings. After all, you won't find a similarly priced camera that has this kind of zoom, autofocus, and 120fps recording. However, this purchase will have many compromises.
