I am thinking about ordering the new Sony a6300 and I would welcome any comments about what people think about it.
I will upgrade as soon as it becomes available. I love my a6000, and a6300 provides few benefits w/o any downsides to them, so what's not to like?
What do you think of the images it produces. What about landscapes
DPR published their "studio scene" shots for a6300 recently, and while it's a minor improvement over a6000, I also compared it to 5D mark II that I also have (but essentially no longer use), and the difference is very-very noticeable, esp. at higher ISOs -- in favor of a6300.
Frankly though pixel peeping these days is for curious minds; pretty much all sensors are good enough.
is this a good candidate for a travel camera?
a6000 is the best travel camera I've ever had.
Was using it with 18-200 LE, then also got Zeiss 16-70/4, which is more compact, lighter, wider, and its noticeably higher quality allows to compensate some lack of reach with cropping. Second lens that I almost always have with me when traveling is 10-18/4.
It still amazes me how much more compact and lightweight is this kit compared to the Canon counterpart that I had to lug around.
Oh and then there's speed, which for me is more important than "raw IQ". a6000 had been amazing, and I fully expect a6300 to be even better. Especially with Metabones IV -- currently, when I try to use Canon 70-300 DO with a6000, AF sucks, big time. Hope this changes with promised PDAF with adapted lenses.
