The buzz around the Sony A6300 has been it's claim as the fastest auto focus system in the world. It's especially revolutionary given the fact that it works so well with Canon lenses and Sony A mount lenses with adapters.
In this video Jason used the Sony 70-400 G lens with the LAEA3 adapter on the A6300. He tested focusing with moving objects running towards the camera, people moving side to side, tracking birds and more.
We hope you enjoy it and that this video helps you guys out there to make the best decisions for you and your use! Please take a moment to stick around watch some more while you're here!
Thanks,
Jason Lanier Photography

Nice to see jason in action, the focusing on the A6300 is amaze balls.

[@shawvercreations9703]

(:

[@PostColorGear]

I love that you can use this adapter. That just opens up a whole new world of lenses to use. When I had Canon, I used to look for lenses on ebay, and companies usually made them for Nikon, Canon, and Sony A mount. Now....I can take advantage of that without getting an A mount body :)

[@johnnyguerrero4615]

Some people stand in the darkness! Afraid to step into the light!!!!Great video!

[@saschageier]

really nice you're giving us this useful tests! even before we're able to get our hands on that beast

[@BillRTube]

Pre-ordered mine, I can't wait

[@richie007brown]

Awesome video Jason am loving this a6300 more and more, would you be able to do a video with the kit lens I know I lot of people would find this very useful. Thanks again and keep em coming 👏

[@garyaskew91]

+Jason Lanier un-related to this video but bought a ROTOLIGHT NEO got £30 off because i bought it and mentioned you encouraged it

[@ElliotPowell927]

+Jason Lanier Can you Shoot While charging like the A7RII?

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

+Gaza Kartel awesome!

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

+Elliot Powell don't know I didn't try it and I don't have the camera any longer

[@ElliotPowell927]

+Jason Lanier Thanks for the quick reply, I was on the fence about the a6300 until I saw your videos. I am really excited to get my hands on one

[@Celestialrob]

Hilarious seeing you load up that lens on that little camera, Jason :-)

[@ahmer19444]

You just sold me on buying this beauty! Thankyou :)

[@JesusJimenez-td8wc]

Thanks for your videos, you have been a blessing.

[@SrTuX]

can you do a review with the metabone speedbooster ? awesome job I'll be getting a 6300 moving from a Canon 30D

[@davect01]

Thanks for these reviews

[@pigmintfilm256]

Hi Jason, Would it be possible to see some quick samples of the continuous autofocus in video mode?? Both with and without face recognition.

[@ma-diy-skartechannel]

Best review of a6300 so far. Thanks!i really appreciate this video! I hope you can also review this camera with the kitlens and native lens. Thanks again.

[@scramjones496]

can you show some video features and show off the auto focus during video recording?

[@puggsincyberspace]

Another great video Jason

[@Recon9143]

Can't wait to see some video auto focus! Hope its better then the 70d

[@CalvinCai_Frisbee]

It seems like the focus locked at same spot when you guys were running towards the camera and the bird flying

[@TheBeast-hd9bl]

Make another video with this same combo, sony 6300 with 70-400mm shooting sports and show the examples. Please

[@VladimirNaumoff]

Just got my Sony LA-EA3 at 51% Off at Adorama. I think totally want to try these little camera for sports and wildlife. Will probably use with Tamron 150-600mm A maount.

[@alisamaan]

Thanks for the great review, can you do a video on how A6300 handles hand held shots especially that it doesn't have in-body image stabilization. that's my only concern to buy it really. Thanks again you are the best

[@RomanCanas]

Cool video! speaking about focusing, how does the A6000 compares to the A6300? is it worth to upgrade it?

[@TradeMarkMusic23]

We're you able to test the camera in any High ISO Low light situations? Just wondering on its performance.

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

Yep. Those videos are coming..:)

[@TradeMarkMusic23]

Hope I didnt make a mistake by getting an A7s last week !!

[@Ovaflo]

+Jason Lanier Cant wait. Im thinking if the results are good in low light high iso I may trade the 6D in.

[@pazenriqueguillermo]

Hi Jason can U coment something about the sony a6300 hotshoe. I owned a a6000 and have huge problems with the connectivity of the hotshoe because of the famous black paint issue, do you know if this is fixed/improved in this new model?

[@PieterBreda]

damn, can those boys frolick!! Could you comment on the viewfinder. I know you don't use it normally but I do.

[@trevorpinnocky]

That's just insane. I'm totally resisting the urge to buy this little monster.

[@magoosmc]

Nice review! I would like to see you shoot some sort of motorsports - It would be an interesting test to see if the 6300 can track a subject moving at speeds in excess of 100mph. Preferably 200-400mm at 1/250 and under...

[@trope1956]

1/160 is probably to slow to get sharp photos when the subject are moving around. But the AF looks great. Seems to working fine almost all the time.

[@michael007ish]

This was awesome. great vid.

[@ptortora1]

Hi Jason, Thanks for always sharing your knowledge and tests. Have you determined the burst rate for the A6300 yet. I specifically would like to know how many RAW images write to the card before the buffer is full.

[@ShouldertoCrayon]

+Paul Tortora There is a youtube video for the same. You can search

[@ivojossart8297]

dear Jason, If possible can you test the A6300 with the older screw-driven top-glass (300mmf2.8 Minolta - 400mmf4.5 and if possible the 600mmf4) - i'd like to know how good the a6300/a7II are with these oldies but goldies. I suspect we'll have to do it with the la-ea4 - it'd be nice to see how good it works with the a6300.

[@MunteanuFilms]

Just preordered mine!

[@sjsphotog]

Jason noticed your battery was way down to 22-19% might of gotten better results with a new/fresher batty? Glad you finally changed it out in the 2nd scene :)

[@georgewong1189]

Hi Jason, thanks for sharing. Is the 70400G mark 1 or 2?

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

You're welcome! I shoot with the Mark 1 because I found a good deal on it used and it works great..:)

[@georgewong1189]

Once again, thanks for your reply.

[@drakeilt5776]

My critical need is for ISO 1600 to 3200 or 6400. The a6000 I have is good but I need a lot more light sensitivity for indoor shots even with the Sony 35mm f1.8 prime; rare for me to get ISO below 800. From what have seen the a6300 may solve my issue. Hopefully there will be actual pictures at the range soon as a good test for low light for me is coming up in early April. The lenses I have now (especially the f4 18-105) should do well for the NY Auto show before then as I rarely have to go above ISO 200 for that; LOTS of bright lights.

[@dunnymonster]

The focus is very impressive and will improve further using a native e mount lens. My only issue is that like the A6000 the camera is making the decision what to focus on. My very simple A5100 has touch to focus and is outstanding because I can select exactly which subject I want to have in focus in a crowd. Once it locks it keeps that subject in focus across the frame. This is why the A6300 has been a bit of a disappointment, we want touch screen not for the menus but so we can tell the camera what specifically what we want to focus on because withheld A6300 you have to "find" the subject in the centre area before it locks on. With touch to focus I can assign the subject focus off centre for panning/sideways movements.

[@lboymusic]

Can you please do a high ISO/low light comparison between the A6300, and the A7s? Thanks :)

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

High ISO video coming out tonight.

[@richardb.1414]

Amazing, but I rather wait till September 2016 Photokina. A 7RII follow up may be ??

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

I have no idea but I highly doubt they'd replace the A7Rii already....

[@DominicCordrey]

Jason, I'm looking at doing the switch in the future to Sony. You have inspired me. Not quite ready for full frame but am getting there. I've seen a lot use the 6000 for portraits. How do you think this camera will fare? I know that it isn't in comparison to the full frame of the A7R II.

[@Celestialrob]

+Dominic Cordrey It was Jason who got me to switch to the a6000 and then the a7rii and zero regrets :-) Good luck!

[@dmacrolens]

+Dominic Cordrey Check out 18:01 in the video. It will work just fine for portraits. Buy it.

[@j3d89]

seeing the focus points while having the camera in continuous focus and the focus area center... thts only for a6300.. or Sony full frame? .. never seen it on the a6000.. is that somehow different or better than just having the square alone at the center?? thanks

[@sirleyac]

Would Sony release the equivalent of the a6300 with a flip up screen (without EVF)? Would the Fotodiox adapter now be able to do the job given the improved focus system on the a6300? Thanks

[@HikingWithMartin]

Great video

[@jeghedderhenrik]

Jason Lanier . a very important info sharing for a lot of us . pleaaaase, could you test it with a sigma or tamron zoom on 500 or 600 mm on sport, cars or birds.....we are some poorer shooter looking for a solution on budget to shoot these types of action shots with e miount

[@SullyCortez]

wow holy shit... this is amazing... I'm so freaking glad I preordered the A6300.... any recommendations for potrait photography A Mount lenses Jason? For Video?

[@googleruinedyoutubeforever9126]

Hi, Thanks for the video. It's a bit general question but do you recommend back button auto focus for all types of shooting? I see lots of divided opinions on this subject... Thanks!

[@DiegoSartori]

Thanks a ton for the video, this is the video that sealed the deal for me. Btw, I own version 2 of the 70-400g, and when I compare the focusing performance of that, versus version 1 (the one you used in the video) there is a big advantage to version 2 in terms of speed and tracking abilities, in other words, this camera with the LA EA3 and newer Sony A mount lenses might provide even better results than the already impressive results seen in this video. Again, thank you for the video, look forward to the next one :)

[@chrisberard1774]

Now that the a6300 is out, can someone share images or experiences with the a6300, LA-EA3 and 70-400? I'm looking at this combo for equestrian eventing to get me that extra reach.

[@sajida7305]

Great more vids of a6300

[@Alexandra-Rex]

So the A6300 will be able to use lenses like the 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM DT with adapter? (EDIT: Yes, it seems the Sony LA-EA2 adapter is the one for that)

[@malsvp]

Hi Mr Jason, i am thinking to buy the A6300 the doubt i have is, if i will go for 24-70 zeiss or 16 -70 zeiss, what you suggest

[@Anonomoss]

Quick Question: I am a college student and money is very tight. I am coming from a Nikon D90 and Nikkor 35mm F2.0 lens. (which I sold on CL to partly finance my A6300 purchase) I am planning on getting the Sony A6300 in the coming weeks once it is released. I wanted to know what you would recommend as a good budget prime lens? I would love to own good glass such as what you show in your videos but I am on a budget and looking for cheap and good (relatively speaking of course) if such a thing exists. Many Thanks... Great videos BTW... Keep up the good work! -M

[@varunkamal91]

Anonomoss sony 50mm 1.8

[@simonheath8701]

Been checking out your vids. Pretty sure the A6300 is going to be my next camera after a 20 year love affair with Canon. I had come across the A7Sii but it;s a bit above what I want to pay until I'm getting commercial work that "needs" low light. I'm more likely to go with a pair of A6300s for multicam video :)

[@nanezferrer3565]

can you post a review vid of the actual photos on computer ???? Thank you

[@skatertwig26]

+Nanez ferrer Not yet he can't.

[@jazic82]

I noticed you were shooting jpeg. Do you mostly shoot jpeg for high speed sports or raw?

[@CalvynJustus]

will the sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens work with adapter?

[@yuryzangiev7578]

Iv been using Sigma 35 1.4(for A mount)with a6000 sony af adaptor(dont remember the exact name).It was work without any problem,but af was so poor😁.With adaptor you loosing all cool specs(like huge amount of af points)

[@AOJOPhotography]

On my 5d3 Im able to move my focus point around to focus on exactly what I want, how do you change your focus point on the sony?

[@supeejuntranggur4309]

I am wondering the same thing. It is terrible in the A7 series! Downright impractical.

[@ShouldertoCrayon]

+AO&JO Films Press the middle button and change using the dial pad's buttons. Not as easy as using a joystick though which movies in 8 directions.

[@luispaz27]

What is the difference betwen a mount and e mount. I pre ordered the @6300 and im looking to get a lense like urs in this video. I know lenses are way expensive but i want a lense that can zoom from far away

[@pipari21]

+jose Pazmiño Basically you can use A-mount lenses on E-mount camera with an adapter but not the other way around. Also google is your friend when you have questions like that.

[@asintu]

What percentage of those running frames where in good focus?

[@markbamforth1488]

What's your thoughts on back-button focusing?

[@TheRcEngineer]

I was so worried about AF speed and Canon lenses and if the commlite adapter is good enough. After I bought my a6000 I found out, manual is the way to go for 90% of my shots. And if I would shoot sports ever I borrow a native lens. All those worries for nothing,...

[@scottfwalter]

I thought lock on focusing doesn't work with the LEA3 adapter. Is that not true?

[@Dare2b773]

Sorry if it was already asked but does it continues auto focus doing video with canon glass?

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

Yes

[@Dare2b773]

Thanks i am a Canon shooter but picked up a a6000 and love it! Going to take back the sony 50 1.8 now because if my canon 50 works for video i dont need the Sony.

[@Puffsneeze]

Im a Nikon shooter and I take with me from this video that I should have invested in canon lenses and sony gear lol.

[@RayEccleston]

I have a D810 and 4 lenses. I want to switch over to Sony, but I was waiting for the a7R III or a7 III. DO you think it is a good idea to sell off my nikon gear (I would get about $6,500) and switch to Sony and get the a6300 and buy an a7R III or a7 III later (cost about $7,000 with only the zooms, $12,500 with primes). Thanks for the awesome video! The af looks amazing!

[@nanezferrer3565]

+Ray Eccleston Dont NIkon gears are much cheaper than sony Gears I dont know why BUT SONY LENSES ARE DAMN SO EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO NIKON !!! BTW nikon d850 is coming

[@yegventures]

I'm sad the a6300 chose Intelligent Auto over Superior Auto. It was much better than intelligent auto and if they had to get rid of it, I don't know why they kept intelligent auto and not superior auto. Could you get Sony to add Superior Auto as a custom button in a firmware upgrade?

[@varunkamal91]

Lincoln Ho | YEGventures.ca what's the difference

[@stefanieb.8852]

what would be more of a joke 1 or 2 years ago..how does the a6300 compare to the D500 or D5 in terms of tracking? Is the a6300 really getting close?

[@toxotis70]

Leave the iso in auto next time, because 1\160 s too low to have blur free photos

[@kingalias]

It's kinda hard to do a proper AF test with imagine samples :(.

[@sambaotaku]

Does the camera has RAW uncompressed?

[@ShouldertoCrayon]

+Héctor Agüero Yup

[@AdamMckeithan]

looks like i be ordering extra batteries.....

[@sjsphotog]

+Adam Mckeithan thats a given / must have with all mirrorless cameras that have an EVF

[@AdamMckeithan]

Stephen Soukup i knew i would have to get at less one or two. But had hopes sony did a better job with the battery life. that doesn't seem to be the case. Not a deal break at all.

[@MunteanuFilms]

I want it!!

[@ianbrown704]

Only 1/160 of sec! how does that work?

[@datdudeinred]

insted i would use tamron 150 600mmm it has vc or is this sony is overprices and doesnt even got is useless at 600mm infact at any mm

[@c.oberschneider]

so you were using the "wide area" focus zone for action shots? really? letting the camera choose where to focus on? why would anyone want to do that? Here's what I found out about the serious limitations the A6300 does have when using A-mount lenses (limiting the available focus modus when used with an adapter): www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3976376 it's interesting to see that no review does mention these limitations. makes me wonder how serious those guys test their gear.

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

You need to watch the video where I shot an NFL Game using these same settings on the A6000. It might change your mind..

[@varunkamal91]

Jason Lanier but Jason should not you be be deciding what to focus on... the camera is deciding... how can that be fine at all??!

[@interstink]

That is a VERY high percentage of in focus shots (At least from what I can see). Looks 100% but that can't be...

[@tehfear]

Seems like the display is much easier to see during daytime than with a nikon.

[@luispaz27]

Sony rules

[@heatherrai574]

What the frolic?

[@qcarson88]

Art looked a little tired when he was running. Lol

[@OzzieTech]

great video though I can frolic better than them

[@studio96vienna64]

And this was the old very slow 70-400, the new version ii 70-400 is 5 times faster!

[@Puffsneeze]

They should have run barefoot! Looking forward to see high res images from this camera.

[@lynneftw]

How many extra batteries do you have to keep in your pocket at all times, though? I really, really, really wish Sony would stop dragging their feet on battery capacity. It's 2016, for crying out loud :(

[@nanezferrer3565]

+folkrockr just change your battery when it runs out WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ???? PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE GETTING LAZY

[@nanezferrer3565]

SEE THIS GUY ??? BE LIKE HIM BE INTELLIGENT DONT BE AN IGNORANT

[@lynneftw]

+Nanez ferrer -- Calm down, you weirdo. He had a reasonable answer and solution. You yell and insult. Not very charming. Hugo, besides battery life, my only other beef with Sony is the one SD card slot. For weddings and sports, super important feature to have two slots. The portable battery pack idea may be something I research a bit because that could be a good workaround for some things.

[@nanezferrer3565]

(*-*) xD

[@ebutuoy8272]

+folkrockr Battery banks are the way to go these days. I recently went to the US from AUS with a 6600mah pack and was never without power for my phone or camera so i long as i charged it each night wherever that happened to be. I didn't think i was going to use it that much but it's something i always take with me now.

[@MyMomSaysImSmart]

Put that thing on airplane mode and save some battery life! :)

[@PaulNelsonphotography]

Nobody shoots like this in the NFL they use single point or 9 point, CH 12 fps 14 bit raw, pro glass 400 2.8 and more. I shoot pro extreme sports and never let the camera AF all over the screen. This looks like a great camera but the buffer is to low to compete for soccer or NFL or MMA.

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

Well, you're wrong. I've been on NFL sidelines. Have you?

[@PaulNelsonphotography]

+Jason Lanier yes I've worked with Paul Cloud helping him with the Denver Broncos. I shoot ultra running events and have been featured in over 20 magazines. I shoot all the local Pro mma events. I have the A6300 on order and also own the A7S2. my main sports camera is the D4s and I have the D5 on order. I do wish Sony would come out with a pro sports camera

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

+Paul Nelson well there are definitely some that shoot like this...I've personally shot like this and posted the video online to prove it. Not everyone does it the way you and your friend do. Times are changing...

[@ValleyRC]

+Paul Nelson From videos I've seen it takes around 10 seconds to fill the buffer shooting RAW+JPEG and it remains snappy after the buffer fills firing 2-3 shot bursts indefinitely. While not the worlds best that's still an impressive result for a camera that costs 1/5th the price. It would be interesting if Sony made a camera and lens that cost 5x as much as these considering how well this gear performs.

[@PaulNelsonphotography]

+fatdeeman I hope it's 14 bit raw. I'm really excited about the camera

[@mramsterdam1000]

I hate the fact that he shot the running scenes with 1/160

[@georgem9522]

Jason in airplane mode the batery life is better..

[@MBlijhamNrone]

Use real bay watch chicks next time for a bay watch beach run. No way those dudes look good lmao, they are obedient tho

[@JasonLanierPhotography]

Definitely would've been more appealing to the eyes...lol

[@angelamaganda]

yes!! now i can stalk my neighbor

[@CannabisReviewTV]

:D :D :D

[@kufi_]

Thx for the video, but u could be discriminating and showing also thing what the equipment cannot do. It always seems that you just selling the products from Sony and only showing the good side. I wish your video would be more complete, because I like what your doing. however, no system is perfect and I would like to the real thing. If not I could watch the promotion videos from sony instead!

[@datdudeinred]

but still its doesnt focuses on all 11 frames its just doen on 1st
