The 1080p RS numbers might save this cam for me. As shown by the night footage above, the images are very nice. Just beware of shooting in 4k24 as the world bends!

Not if the actual 1080p image is meh. AF aside, there are probably better 1080p cameras out there for less money.
I don't think so. It will be very popular among enthusiast photographers. The form factor can't be beat and features are excellent. I've yet to see a camera that sits better in the hand than my Nex-6 and this one has a similar grip.JoeThePro said:

Hopefully. Unfortunately any improvement in detail implies more visible aliasing which is already kinda bad with default settings.

Macgregor's test is in this thread a few pages back.
I am considering the BMD Micro Cinema Camera and also the pocket but the advantage of being a hybrid APS-C separates the A6300 from the rest. Even more for someone like me who works on small projects in both disciplines.
I think a better option could be the GH4 but the "Compact" factor goes out of the window.
There's also the Panasonic GX8, which was in my Wish List before the A6300 came out but the lack of V-Log held me back.

Man does anyone know of anyplace that has these in stock?
I've had great luck with Texas Media Systems, got the A7rII and A7s the day they were released. They're a sponsor and a great group to work with, when I buy new, I buy everything I can from them. Hit them up - they always tell you when the next shipment is coming and if there are units available. They're not some giant faceless corporation like Amazon or B&H, you can call and chat with Clint or Terry anytime.
I may be able to live with rolling shutter if the overheating is under control. This thread has mainly highlighted the RS; now that people have worked with the a6300 for a few days, does anyone have first-hand experience with overheating? Is a firmware update to fix this on Sony's radar?

I think over heating will be better tested in the spring/summer months. Seems to be doing fine in cool conditions.
For you personally, or are you basing this off of what youve read? Because Ive read of alot of people complaining about overheating in both 4k AND 1080p.
I'd rather deal with B&H or Amazon. I created a huge merged thread to track updates for a camera and Terry would constantly create new threads to announce a little firmware update with no original content (a total waste of space) so he could sell his crap.
Yeah, I am pretty disappointed about the A6300 after going through the DP Review thread on overheating that Chris Joy shared:
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3978661
The most interesting thing from that thread was that there is a page in the a6300 user manual that mentions the potential for overheating and that the maximum expected recording times for 4K recording are lower due to this issue:

So clearly Sony was aware of this limitation before the camera was released. Perhaps a firmware update could improve things, although you might have expected that given the overheating issues with the A7 line, Sony would have already incorporated whatever they learned from those cameras into the initial a6300 firmware.

Uhm, I said I'd never seen so many videos as with A6300 immediately upon its release. That would include GH4 -- upon its release. The implication being that A6300 is an extremely popular camera.
