The new α6300 model boasts an unrivaled 4D FOCUS™ system that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds, the world’s fastest AF acquisition time. Additionally, the camera has an incredible 425 phase detection AF points that are densely positioned over the entire image area – the world’s highest number of AF points on any interchangeable lens camera. It can also shoot images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking,

The impressive new camera also has the ability to support full live-view continuous framing on the Tru-finder or LCD screen at up to 8 frames per second, ultimately producing a real-time shooting experience that combines all the benefits of an electronic viewfinder with the immediacy of a through-the-lens optical viewfinder.

Other notable features include a newly developed 24.2 MP APS-C sized Exmor CMOS sensor and the ability to shoot and record high resolution 4K video with full pixel readout and no pixel binning in the popular Super 35mm format.

The α6300 interchangeable lens camera will be available in March for about $1,000 for the body or for about $1,150 paired with a 16-50mm F3.5 – F5.6 kit lens. Prices for the Canadian market will be about $1,350 CA for the body and about $1,500 CA for the camera kit.
