Tony Northup completed his A63000 review and writes:
The a6300 improves on a great camera. It’s the best mirrorless sports camera ever, and a great, compact, all-around camera. Our advice: get the a6300 if you shoot action or video, prefer mirrorless, and the Sony lens lineup has everything you might need. If you don’t shoot action or video, the a6000 should be just fine, and it’s half the price.
And here are some new A6300 tests:

Chipworks analyzed the Sony sensor used by the new Samsung Galaxy S7. And the sensor is the first with the Dual Pixel AF tech sourced from Sony:
It seems the full chip PDAF functionality, which requires dual readout from each pixel, was implemented with a multi-chip solution.
I can imagine Sony could implement the very same tech on larger sensors too. Imaging having a camera where every pixel has PDAF. This would be another standout feature on Sony cameras and one more reason for Canon/Nikon shooters to switch over to Sony…
