Jim Fisher from PC Mag recently called the Sony a6300 a:

 Strong, forward-thinking mirrorless camera 

and named the camera their ‘Editors Choice.’ Engadget also chimed in, calling the camera in their review a:

small, sleek, fast and, most importantly, captures impressive photos and video. Paired with the right lenses, the A6300 has no trouble matching up with its more expensive Alpha relatives or even some mid-tier DSLRs. 

One of the most impressive features of the a6300 is its 4D Focus. During their time with the E-mount camera, Edgar Alvarez from Engadget wrote:

Nevertheless, the prowess of the A6300 is helped by its 425 phase-detect points, compared to the 179 found on the A6000. That, combined with the 4D Focus, makes the A6300’s AF twice as fast as the A6000, according to Sony. And it shows. As someone who’s tested a handful of cameras over the past several months, Sony’s latest mirrorless shooter is definitely the fastest one I’ve tried.

Now it’s one thing to read about how autofocus works on the a6300 and it’s another thing to see it in action. A new video from Sony does just that and shows off how the camera’s focusing feature performs.

Sony’s autofocus (AF) system “4D FOCUS” is further enhanced with the α6300.

Thanks to the new “High-density Tracking AF Technology”, the α6300’s precise AF tracking allows focus to be maintained even on subjects that make fast, complex movements. This video shows AF performance test both in stills and movies.

Sony goes to compare the a6300 against a more expensive DSLR (which they don’t name) in a side-by-side comparison which I’m less concerned with, especially when they don’t name the competitor piece. However putting that side and just looking at the a6300 by itself in the video, you can’t help but be impressed. That video awaits you after the jump.
