Sony has spent recent years charging full steam ahead into the full-frame mirrorless camera market. But they have also managed to satisfy the desires of APS-C shooters, mainly through their widely-popular a6000mid-range mirrorless camera. In March 2016, just two years after the debut of the a6000, Sonyreleased the a6300 with improved features, that still retain many of the characteristics of the older model.

This is a strange one, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it yet. The newICELAVAWarm-to-Cold fader is a new filter which offers a stepless level of white balance adjustment from 2900K to 6300K. It works similarly to a circular polariser or variable neutral density filter. You screw it onto your lens, and [...]
In another instance of drone operator stupidity, 38 year old Stephanie Creignou was seriously injured when a 2.8lb (1.3kg) drone dropped from about 33ft (10m) in the air straight into her head with a velocity of around 25mph (11m/s) during the Challenge 5km Arc-en-Ciel race in Beloeil, Canada.
