BENGALURU: Back in February, Sony launched a new camera in US; sending photographers all over the world into a meltdown and the device has finally arrived in India. It's the Sony Alpha 6300. Hailed as the successor to the A6000 model, the most popular mirrorless camera ever, the A6300 promises to be in the same line as another mirrorless wonder from Sony, perhaps even better. What's more, the camera is priced aggressively at 74,990, which includes a 16-50 mm lens.

According to Sony, the A6300 has the world's fastest autofocus (AF) system among APS-C interchangeable cameras at 0.05 seconds. The AF system in the device is similar to the one found in the more advanced A7R II and A7 II cameras, with an astonishing 425 phase detection points. The device features the same 4D AF system seen in the A6000, but more refined and undeniably faster. At the core, the camera has an all new 24.2 megapixels APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor coupled with a BIONZ X image processing engine.

Being a tech company, Sony's rise to the top of the camera market has been an amazing achievement. One reason for Sony's growth, as experts point out, is its ability to combine superior still photography along with high quality video shooting capabilities, taking it way ahead of its competition.   The A6300 is another camera that supports this statement as it produces sharp 4K videos at a bit rate of 100 Mbps with additional features like super-slow motion 1080p video at 120fps.

Built on a full magnesium alloy body, Sony claims the A6300 is resistant to dust and moisture. It has Wi-Fi and NFC compatibility for wireless data transfer and is fully functional with Sony's PlayMemories Mobile application, which is available for Android and iOS platforms. On the downside, the device does not feature touch screen that can be cumbersome for amateur photographers, as it takes time to settle with Sony's menu system. But a mirrorless wonder at 75,000; it's a bargain for sure.
