The Sony A6300 features a new 24.2-megapixel sensor with 4D AF system and is a powered by the same Bionz X image processor found on the A6000. Native ISO range is 100-25600 and the camera now features a full-magnesium alloy body which is now dust and moisture resistant. The lens mount is now reinforced to better handle heavier lens and you get an improved shutter release button and mode dial.

The ?6300 introduces a new high-density tracking AF technology that company says improves subject detection and tracking performance by activating a large number of AF points around a subject. The camera will then adjust them according to the subject’s motion. Perhaps most exciting are the camera’s on-sensor phase-detect autofocus system (4D Focus). This device claims that it can lock focus as quickly as 0.05 seconds.

The A6300 has Wi-Fi and NFC built in. Nothing new here, but it supports QR code pairing for non-NFC devices, similar to how Olympus cameras pair with phones and tablets.

The A6300 will go on sale in March, for $1,000. It’s much higher than the A6000’s launch price, but for what you’re getting, Sony could justify the increased pricing. To get some of these features and functions, you would have to spend much more for an A7-series camera. The camera will also be available in a $1,150 kit, which comes with a 16-50mm lens.
