Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this camera for about 5 months now. I've used it to take photos of friends and families during birthdays, social events, and the holidays. I've used it for work to take professional looking photos and update our company website. I've also taken it with me on a hike to take photos of landscapes and anything else in between. I'm not by any means a professional, but I've taken it with me anywhere I could. If you don't really want to read further, I'll just simply say that it's an amazing piece of camera that's replaced my bigger Canon DSLR system. Although of course, it isn't without caveats.
The most popular one is its battery life. A fully charged battery does not last very long. It's very unlikely that a single charged battery will get you through a day of shooting. I purchased 2 additional batteries or shoot while charging on an external battery. However, I believe this issue should be understandable. The size of this camera limits the battery size that can be used on this body. With all the technology packed into this body, I strongly believe that the battery life is pretty good. I have no problem compromising the battery life if it means that I can use this piece of technology to capture great photos.
When it comes to ergonomics, I'm not a complete fan but I'm satisfied. The grip is a little small and I think the A6500 actually have it right. After purchasing the lens, I immediately installed a leather bottom half case cover and it bumped the grip a little - which is nice. Learning to navigate the Menu will also take some time getting used to if you're coming from a different camera system.

With that said, the great things about this camera far outnumber its issues -- I mean, just look at the specs! The number of AF points is ridiculous for this price point. Paired with its Electronic View Finder, you're able to see what your image will look like before you take it! The EVF is easily one of the reasons why I will find it difficult to return to DSLR. ISO and dynamic range is excellent for this price and easily jumps ahead of its similarly priced DSLR counterparts. Especially since the a6300 is capable of recording 4K. Its low light capabilities is also very impressive. However, I do not have many experience with videogrpahy as it's not what I use this camera for.
The a6300 will do what you want it to do if you pair it with the right lens and will do so with excellent results. Yes, it is an APS-C camera, but it is a very good one.
