Sony Alpha a6300 Black
The APS-C sensor in this mirrorless body delivers better low-light potential than smaller formats, though it lacks in-body stabilization and weather sealing. A refurbished package with the included E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens adds optical stabilization and everyday portability at a budget price. This camera is best for product photographers working in controlled lighting, where its scoring strength aligns with stills over the notably weak vlogging performance of 9.7/100.
