Slight derail but what do you think is a fair price for a A6300? Thinking to get one for my new job and would be good to get an thorough opinion on it if you get a chance
BigH-
I'd say it depends what you do/intend to do with it.
I got it as a backup for an AS7 MK2 mainly for video to complement bigger Sony cameras like the FS7 as they share colour science and have UI similarities. It's a bit clunky to operate for video but does ok for simple things. I use it more these days as a smallish point and shoot for family duties - it does a fairly good job here. That said I do plan on getting rid of it once it's serviced and going back to full frame (sold the as7s and FS7 and switched to Blackmagic for video so I'd probably pick up an rx1r MK2 for stills). The quality of the video footage is good for the money though I'd say there may be more recent models that can do certain things better (6400/6500/6600) depending on budget and needs (autofocus/ibis etc).
CYOA
Where can I send some Sony stuff to get serviced? Based in Devon but in London once or twice a month if needs be as I hate the idea of posting something. Would LCE or somewhere with branches around the country do it? Don't want to spend thousands but could see a couple of hundred being worth it. Currently when I depress the shutter on an A6300 body the frame (looking through the evf) seems to skip around and reframe left/right/up/down etc. After a few photos being taken it says it doesn't recognise the lens and I have to disconnect the lens and reconnect/turn body on-off again to get it to take any more images. Got rid of all my other e mount lenses and don't have any convertors for ef stuff so can't rule out either the body or the lens.
