First Sony APS-C with 4K: Alpha 6300 mileage diagnostics

The Sony Alpha 6300 (ILCE-6300, 2016) made a real splash: the first APS-C mirrorless camera with 4K video recording and a revolutionary 425 phase-point autofocus system with face detection. At the same time, the speed is 11 fps and all in a compact body. The Alpha 6300 immediately became a favorite of videographers, vloggers and sports photographers - and they created a huge turnover in the secondary market with a completely unpredictable history of each example.

A videographer shooting 4K content takes thousands of frames and hours of video every day. A sports photographer with 11 fps accumulates mileage in one tournament. The Alpha 6300 has a known case of heating up during prolonged 4K video shooting - which indicates an intense electronic load. Check the mechanical meter before purchasing.

11 fps and APS-C shutter life

The Alpha 6300 shutter is designed for 200,000 guaranteed operations - a very serious indicator for an APS-C mirrorless camera. The speed of 11 fps with active use allows you to quickly accumulate mileage: one second of the series - 11 frames. A camera with mileage up to 80 thousand is a good buy. Over 160 thousand - bargaining is required.
