I’ve taken this shot thousands of times when unboxing new cameras to review, and with zero time to get to know this camera it nails a perfect shot thanks to the eye tracking auto focusĪra pretty much sums up about how I feel about the Sony eye tracking autofocus – WOW! All cameras should have this! How on earth it can track her squinting Asian eyes?!!!! With a baby waving a toy around and Ara’s slender Asian eyes at an angle, I figure there was no chance of acquiring focus so I went to full auto (aka “mom”) mode – it nailed it Seconds later with full auto mode, again perfect eye focus – this is cell phone easy to operate – and look how clean for ISO 1600!!! Oh and how about that dynamic range and color!! I think the fly was vibrating too much for the 1/600 sec shutter speed, but it nailed the focus otherwise. Literally my first shot with camera default settings seconds after it was unboxed.

This results in what I call real world shots because they are unplanned, unedited shots that just occur during the course of everyday life. ![]() People don’t read manuals and they rarely take time to learn how to use their cameras, so when I test I like to have a combo of brain dead shooting (like many would do with cell phones) sprinkled with some serious shooting where I actually dial in all settings manually. I have no regrets with that decision as the OSS performed admirably and the AF system performance didn’t seem to be hampered by this lens in any way. I was very satisfied with this lens in my a6000 review so I decided to stick with it again. Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens Suffice it to say, this s a very small camera but usable – although I still find myself wishing it had one more dial and a joystick. In the hand everything feels pretty much the same as the a6000, so if you want my thoughts on any of that see my a6000 review. My eyes also perceive a better dynamic range for the shots I’ve taken so far.There are rarely hot spots and even tough colors like bright yellow and red render faithfully to what my eyes witnessed in real life – much like (but to a lesser extent) than I observed with the a7R II ![]() So far in my early testing, this cameras AF system seems to have leap frogged all other Sony cameras I’ve tested – including the a7R II which is saying a lot. In fact my favorite feature on the a7R II was it’s incredible AF but it still had its flaws. I won’t beat around the bush as I can’t hold back my enthusiasm – yes, this AF system is legit – the hype is justified. You can see the full-comparison with the a6000 here at B&H, but the biggest thing that caught my attention was the improved AF. Unpredictable subjects are no problem for the a6300 – with eye AF lock, it just gets the shots with no hassle or skill required I really loved the a6000, so when I heard the 6300 would add a significantly improved autofocus system, a viewfinder with twice the resolution, 4k video and an improved burst mode I got excited – very excited.
