The 11FPS matches the a6000, the improvement comes when shooting live view- up to 8fps with a very short blackout between frames allowing better tracking of moving subjects and the AF system offers a new 4D tracking system with dynamically activated AF points around your subject and the camera will adjust depending on the motion of the subject itself.. I expect this camera will now match and beat the latest DSLRs in the same price range.4K at 100mbits with oversampling from the whole sensor! What that all means - this 4K footage should be excellent, low noise even at higher ISOs and very sharp. No additional crop (beyond the standard 1.5x sony aps-c crop) while shooting video which means this camera is going to be much better for some videographers than the double the price
Nikon D500.What is disappointing? No Touchscreen. Almost all other DSLRs at this price point offer a touchscreen and despite the smaller size and a few fewer buttons Sony still hasn't offered a touchscreen. The electronic viewfinder (EVF) is also the same and I didn't love the a6000 EVF- it is a bit dull. Also much smaller annoyance still USB 2.0. USB 3.0 would be nice at this point when you want to transfer files without Wifi or even tethering.No in body image stabilization (IBIS) as some people had hoped - I didn't expect that at this level and price point but if you want that and the small size you need to look at the Olympus or step up to full frame.Overall I expect this camera to sell very well and is likely the first camera to offer 4K and sell as well as it will - basically Sony just brought 4K to the masses. Expect grandma's birthday party footage to be 4k now ;)The Sony α6300 will be available in MarchPreorder now from B&H Photo
