The a6300 continues Sony's march to ever cheaper cameras with better and better features. This 24 Megapixel APS-C cam has 4K UHD up to 30fps, 1080p to 120fps, S-Log2/S-Log3, and even has uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 4K out of the HDMI for recording to something like the Odyssey 7Q+ or Atomos Shogun/Ninja Assassin. Though it technically uses a 6000 x 3376 recording area for the 4K videos, Sony says they aren't pixel binning, which means that the 6000 x 3376 is being scaled down to 4K, something that should actually help a bit with noise.
Here's a look at footage in 4K:
In addition, Sony claims 14 stops of dynamic range in S-Log3, and has a Gamma Display Assist mode to let you see a Rec.709 image while still recording log. The only thing that seems to be missing is a headphone port, but this camera looks to have pretty much all the specs on paper that you'd want in an E-Mount APS-C camera.

New G Master Lenses
Sony also announced a new line of lenses they are calling G Master, or GM, which are said to combine high resolution and pleasing bokeh:
The first three lenses included in this series are the E-mount 85mm f/1.4 GM, 24-70mm f/2.8 GM, and 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS. There's no price on the 70-200mm (pictured above), but the 24-70mm will retail for $2,200:
And the 85mm will be $1,800:
Sony has introduced teleconverters as well for E-mount, a new 1.4x and a new 2.0x.
