Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Sony A6500 and Sony A6300 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Sony A6500 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 53 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.09″) and weighs 453 g (1.00 lb / 15.98 oz) (including batteries). Sony A6300 has external dimensions of 120 x 67 x 49 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 1.93″) and weighs 404 g (0.89 lb / 14.25 oz) (including batteries).

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Sony A6500 and Sony A6300.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A6300 is 49g lighter than the Sony A6500 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Sony A6500 and Sony A6300 have the same Sony E lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

Both the A6500 and the A6300 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
