A6300 sample photos taken with various lenses

[Langstrum]

Hello!

I've received this camera this morning and I took it out for testing immediately, so I want to share here some of my experience and sample photos.

In general, the camera felt solid in my hand, very similar to the feeling when I use A7ii, except the dials and some buttons (quite less convenient if you're A7ii/A7Rii users). EVF is very nice as advertised. I got this camera mainly for using some APS-C lenses that I like, including the Sigma Art 18-35mm, SEL 50mm f/1.8 OSS, and maybe Sigma Art 50-100mm when I can afford it, so I tested the camera with some native lenses and Canon mount lenses: SEL 50mm f/1.8 OSS, FE 28mm f/2, Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4, Canon EF 300mm f/4 L (non IS version). I have Viltrox II, Techart III, and Yongnuo adapters and surprisingly only the Yongnuo can work with the Sigma Art and 300L, even though it only can lock the focus with 300L some times. Viltrox and Techart can work with these lenses for few seconds then they stopped responding or it's very hard to focus. Therefore, I chose to manually focus the 300L to get some bird and cat shots as below.

Take a look at my samples, most of them was taken directly from the camera and slightly adjusted for the brightness. Overall I like this camera, especially the silent shutter, focus speed and the ISO quality, but I do hope that the problem with the Canon adapters are just temporary, because they work well with my A7ii. Maybe it's the problem with the firmware and Sony can fix it later.

OK, the ISO100/1000 comparison got my attention.     Thanks for posting the samples!

You're welcome. Even though it's better to also including higher ISO test but it was in the daylight and normally I never go above ISO 1000, but this camera proved that I can go further!
