surprise when I wanted to mount the a6300 on the gimbal: Sony turned multiport and hdmi port 180° compared to the a6000. Also they are so close now. I have no idea how to mount hdmi and multiport both.

@joethepro jaajaja a good reason not to quit smoking
Anyway, a bit of a waste 'cause just realised both the new ACR 9.5 and LR 6.5 updates support the sony6300.
Maybe for those not enslaved by adobe...

@peaceonearth the command 4 mac is exiftool -SonyModelId="ILCE-6000" -FileFormat= {file's path} theres an empty space after "=" and there are no quote marks; alternatively you can set a folder path and exiftool will parse it (batch). POC
 

 
RPP (raw photo processor) free photo developer from Andrey Tverdokhleb does the job without the need of exif manipulation, also capable of batch processing, 32bit output, etc, etc. POC
 

Just read that LR new release (6.5) supports the 6300. Finally and just for fun something like (below) in dcraw would also work; rebuild highlights is on. POC
dcraw -v -w -H 7 -o 2 -q 3 -f -6 -T DSC02540.ARW
 

 
BTW you can tell at naked eye (comparison bellow) that ACR and even RPP apply some kind of sharpening and NR, even if you don't want to. Dcraw's output is a bit noisier and less sharp, but's supposed to; seems more so below 'cause I had to make levels similar ,-) / ACR-RPP-dcraw // sorry guys for invading a bit the thread, I've got carried away :P

@BlueBomberTurbo EXIFTool Gui is unfortunately Windows only.

I tried to convert in terminal Warning: exiftool -SonyModelId="ILCE-6000" -FileFormat="ARW 2.3.1" _DSC7744.ARW

Error Code: Can't convert IPTC:FileFormat (not in PrintConv)

@BlueBomberTurbo thanks I will give it a try. Is this a command in console? Is there a batch for a folder too? Thank you!

@peaceonearth Use this in EXIFtool:

exiftool -SonyModelId="ILCE-6000" -FileFormat="ARW 2.3.1" name_of_file.ARW

You'll be able to open the RAWs in any Adobe editor.

@Glenn7 It has a microphone jack. It does not have a headphone jack. You can get hdmi to trs adapters though, or if you have a monitor they usually have headphone jacks.

In terms of image quality, don't expect a huge step-up from the A6000 nor indeed most other 24 Megapixel cameras with APSC sensors. I'd say the A6300 is slightly better at very high ISOs compared to the A6000, but not enough to upgrade. The bigger issue for image quality is the lens you pair the camera with. That of course applies to any camera, but it can be a challenge for Sony's APSC models as the two most common general-purpose zooms, the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 and 16-70mm f4, don't make the most of the sensor especially at wide angle.

If you're filming 1080p, there's also not a great deal of difference between the A6300 and the A6000, but switch the new model to 4k and you'll enjoy considerably greater detail. Down-sampling 4k to 1080 also produces great results and is the preferred route for Full HD projects, although doing so limits you to the maximum 4k frame rates of 24, 25 and 30p.

OMG, one of those Sony manual translations… Are you sure that's German? Never ever read the word "Menüpostendetails" before!

Lots of people reporting overheating issues, I'm still waiting for my pre-order. I wish I had waited a bit more to pull the trigger. I guess that I'll have to learn how to live with that for now...
