Sony a6300 Kit with 16-50mm and 55-210mm Lenses
The Sony a6300 mirrorless camera in a bundle with the 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens, the 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens, a 64GB SanDisk memory card, an extra battery and a shoulder bag comes at an interesting price. While the image quality is amazing, keep in mind that the a6300 has the overheating issue which usually limits your recordings to under 3 minutes. It’s worth eyeballing the Sony a6500 that comes without overheating.
