The Sony a6300 hands on<\/h1>\n

This week I had the chance and great opportunity to be invited by Sony Romania<\/strong> to attend\u00a0the European launch event of the new Sony a6300<\/strong> camera and the new G Master lenses (hands on article coming soon) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.<\/p>\n

I wrote about this camera specs<\/a> at the announcement date, but I wanted to discover more by holding it in my hands.<\/p>\n

If you’re wandering about that awesome bokeh, it’s the new 85 mm f1.4 G Master FE lens \ud83d\ude09<\/p><\/div>\n

Unfortunately all the Sony a6300 cameras at the event were pre-production models and we weren’t allowed to put our own cards inside and take home the files generated with it, but still I’ve managed to do some tests of the new features and grabbed that on video :).<\/p>\n

It was a pleasure to discuss face to face with important Sony figures about the new camera. Mr.\u00a0Yosuke Aoki, the vice president of digital imaging Sony Europe and\u00a0Mr. Yoma Hori – Sony Europe ILC Product Manager were kind enough to help me test the new features and were very happy to assist. What an honor!<\/p>\n

Highlights of the new Sony a6300<\/h1>\n

I won’t go into all details about the camera (I’m going to do this when I’ll get the final model for full review), but instead I’m going to present you some of the highlights of the new model, compared to the previous sony a600 (my review<\/a> of this camera still attracts a lot of readers on my blog).<\/p>\n

The exterior of Sony a6300<\/h2>\n

Nothing much has changed from the previous model, at least not visible. Camera chassis was upgraded to full magnesium alloy and it got dust and moisture\u00a0sealing.<\/p>\n

The grip is better, easier to hold than the previous a6000, which I had with me for real life comparisons \ud83d\ude42 (and also because I’ve converted it to infrared and wanted to shoot Amsterdam in IR, but more on that soon). A lovely addition was the lever to switch between AF modes and AEL, a button I love so much on my A7s.<\/p>\n

Also, they’ve listened to people complaining about the sound recording and they’ve added a so much needed external Microphone jack. Too bad there was no room for a headphone jack, so much needed too in video production.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
