![SONY A6700 POV NIGHT CITY STREET PHOTOGRAPHY! [LONDON]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mEKbS4SoLC0/mqdefault.jpg)
I sold my stunning a6600 for a R7 (beautiful camera) but the other day I tested an a6700 and I just re-fell in love with Sony’s apsc cameras. They’re just lovely in my hands, but most of all sensor quality and AF performace, mindblowing for just an apsc.
Nice video.
i don't understand the "just apsc" sentiment. All it is is a smaller sensor.
@@olivertrees you're not a pixel peeper, obviously. I have this desease so I can tell the difference between sensor sizes. Didn't mean to offend anyone's camera
The r7 is amazing I wanted to purchase it so bad however canon has the most restrictive lens mount.
α6700 with Viltrox 75mm f1.2 vs Sigma 56mm f1.4 - this should be a priority video 🏆
Yes Yes and YES ! A6700 reviews are everywhere but this comparison would be very rare.
The viltrox 75mm f 1.2 is a beast I don't ever use my sigma 56mm 1.4 any more
Ordered this camera yesterday along with a sigma 18-50 2.8 as an upgrade from my Nikon 1j5. This will hopefully a more robust and capable camera for hiking and mountain bike trips but also something I don’t mind taking with me everywhere I go, for when those random opportunity shots present them selves
good combo, compact!
What an awesome camera combo! 💯🔥🤙
How has the 6700 been? I’m still knuckle dragging on a heavy full frame camera. Has the 6700 met your expectations
@@sdhute yes been good so far.. although taken a while to get use to the settings and ergonomics of it. Not really looked much into the video side of it yet. But does make a good stills camera so far. In comparison to full frame it’s not as small as I thought it would be when I compared it to my brother in laws Sony A7iii.
@@leef82nc30 thanks
Daammmnn......
Never seen your videos before, but that first shot, the perfect amount of depth of field, Slightly offset shot, with that little bit of golden hour color grading.........that's a masterpiece
(And knowing that's London, no way the sky is that beautiful)
Might be the best shot I've ever seen for a vlog
Ayyy thanks mate, really apperciate that! :)
I pre-ordered this to switch from DSLR soon as I saw the specs and completely blown away. Excellent camera! I've got some great shots with this little camera.
I have the Lumix GH6. I had sony mirrorless cameras in the past. Those are more compact than the GH6. Someday, I might grab the a6700. Its easier to travel with that camera. The GH6 does have a fan, which this camera does not have for shooting long videos. It helps with keeping the camera cool and not overheat.
I do like my a6700, and it had none of the overheating problems that have been talked about. I have owned it now for nearly two months. The only annoyance is that I have owned several of the Sony a6000 series cameras and have lost the eye cup at least once on most of them. Today, I was over at Kew Gardens taking some shots and true to form, my eye cup was starting to come off my a6700. A small niggle and don't have this problem on my a7iv or a7siii.
the petite form factor of the whole apsc line is severely underrated. So much so that if I ever look to go full frame, i can't imagine buying something bigger than an α7C
its one of those things isnt it once you get used to the size you just cant do the full size bodies and the other way around is shocking as well
Uplifting, fast paced, credible review, Curtis. Smooth! Good follow up to prior vid. Is the unit in this vid your own, or the borrowed one? Recently purchased this model.
Noted the red “soft button cap” on your shutter - nice touch😊.
Love the ergonomics, and front dial makes all the difference. Video button can be a custom button. No joy stick, but you can assign a custom button to reposition the focus point to a (previously) registered location (kinda like center pressing a joystick).
Can be a chore to assign custom settings to memory slots (1,2, 3, e.g.) because each memory bank retains the default settings. So, for instance, if you turn off AF assist light in a PASM set, it’s still on in memory 1,2,3 and M1, M2, M3 and M4.
Cheers!
Ayyy thanks Paul! This is still the borrowed one still. Great purchase hope you enjoy the camera!
Thanks for that further helpful info mate! 🤙
I own this camera with the latest Sigma 24 mm 1.4 art and added a SmalRig bottom plate for even better ergonomics, and I love it!! I mainly do portraits, and the results that I get with that lens (36 mm FF) are amazing!
Just purchased the small rig bottom plate also and man it's surprising what a little plate can add to the handling. Absolutely love it!
What do you think is the best Sony camera only for photography?
@@Ryanphotos1 Yes, now it is always attached to my camera. Best accessory for 30 bucks
Absolutely loving the specs and ergo of this camera. As an Apsc Nikon z50 shooter i have grown out of it, However still looking for the small form factor of apsc bodies. As Nikon are taking their time with an upgrade of the Z50 and not too many lenses to experiment creativity with, i think im sold on selling the Z50 ans putting the money towards the A6700.
I think I have decided to upgrade to this from my 6400 instead of going FF. I love my lenses and the 6400 has severed me very well for the few years I've had it. Down the road if my photography turns into more on the professional side then I will switch to FF. I only do photography and no video at all so hearing your review, especially as a 6400 user like you are, makes me feel like it's the right decision for me.
Lovely video bro. This camera is what mirrorless started out to be. Now in it's 7th gen form this lineup finally has got there. Coupled with the amazing lens options it's one heck of a desirable cam❤❤
That’s it, I am buying this one! Upgrade from the 6300. For one, I want to start with videography as well, thanks again for a nice and inspiring review.
That's awesome dude! Sure that A6700 is gonna serve you well! 🤙
I know this is a few months old but I’m looking to pick up this camera for Sports Photography & Music Video Filmmaking.. I would use it for a variety of other things too and the versatility is what draws me to it. Would you say this is a good fit for Sports Photography, would the Sigma 18-50mm be good enough or should I also look towards the Viltrox 75mm as someone mentioned above. Or would you reccomend a completely different camera for Sports Photography & Music Video Filmmaking altogether?
The Sony a6700 is truly special
Love, love my a6400, and you’re the reason I chose that camera. I now believe I will upgrade to this one and you have lots to do with that!
Awesome to hear! Enjoy your new upgrade! 🔥🤙
Kudos for doing a review in busy London, I tend to scurry off when I see a lone person appear on the horizon!
Dude. What a good video. Paying attention to those things you are improving now. Good job!
Thank you Curtis for the helpful and informative review on Sony A6700. God bless and good luck!
Is that red shutter button a stick on? (3M?) looks cool
Upgrading from a Canon 70D. I will most likely order this camera in the near future. This camera does it all for me. It's perfect for my usecase.
Also, with a 7artisans adapter, I can keep using the lenses I still have and buy lenses for Sony E-Mount later on when I have the money for that.
Great video Curtis. I’ve been considering getting an APSC camera as a second camera and one to take on travels given the smaller build and cheaper cost. Think I might have to get one of these! Thanks for the info!
even this is hybrid camera, the A6700 comes "photo first" then " video", so it's very very good for photos, landscape, street, traveling.and to have a weather sealed is fantastic ( I mean XS20 doesn't have it)
Lovely shutter release button, link?
Stunning picture quality. Absolutely stunning..
I have been tip toeing around from buying this thing for months.
I think it's time I bought it..
Very good video btw.
great review! i already recommended this camera to a friend looking to start photography!
Thank you Isabel! 🙏
A6700 vs a7c both have around the same price. I am only care about image quality and video quality what should I choose? I'm completely a beginner
How did your camera come with the red shooter button?
True I looks pretty nice as a red button 😊
Wanna know toooooo
It's London special edition to match with our buses here. And also the phone booth
I wish it was a London Themed Button 😂 It's actually a stick on red shutter button you can pick up on amazon. Left a link in description if that helps! 🔗✌️
@@CurtisPadleythanks 👍
I just got mine as well with the new sigma 10-18 and the 24-70 on the way :) you made a wonderful choice. I came from the A6100
Thats an awesome setup! Hope you are enjoying it mate :)
Beautiful Photos and a nice Camera. Hoping to have it in the future.
Thanks mate! Hopefully you can get one in the future! 🤙
I personally believe the best apsc cameras are made by Sony. Simple, cheap, best lens system out there and the video features are great for the cost you pay for such a solid hybrid camera. I like fujis too though.
Saving up money to buy this and the sigma lens combo 🫡 almost there!! And i cant wait
I have a Sony A6400 with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens and I'm planning to start shooting talking head videos indoors. I'm considering replacing the Sony A6400 with either the Sony FX30, Sony A6700, or Sony A7C II, but I'm totally confused about which one to choose. I haven’t shot any videos yet. Could you please guide me on which camera would be the best option?
hi curtis, great video! is the a6700 autofocus a game changer over a6400? I got from the video it's a really good upgrade over a6400, but would the number in focus of shots taken really significantly increase?
in short I am trying to understand if this better autofocus can worth $1000 (if I sell the a6400 and buy the a6700 body) . I want to separate hype and edge scenarios from actual miss rate on the street.
background on me to allow you write a better recommendation:
I am not into videography so I wouldn't take advantage video improvements. in general I use the camera most weekends if weather allows me, I am not a professional since I don't earn for my photos, but I am not a casual dude using the camera just for holiday either.
Most other reviews, compared it to an a6600. They said, if you don't care about video, stick with the a6600. And that one has the same AF system as the a6400.
For me, the most important features of the 6700 compared to the 6400 are the stabilization and the fact that it does not lose its autofocus in digital zoom. The minuses would be that it does not have a built-in flash, and I like the flip-out screen more. 1000€ more is not worth it. I will remain at 6400.
I never use digital zoom so I couldn't even notice autofocus issues there. I wait for a6400's successor which should sell for around €850 instead of €1.500, it will surely pack the new autofocus and it will be eventually more compact than the a6700 while costing me few hundreds euros after selling the a6400 instead of €1.000. @@nicuchitineac1950
Don't underestimate just how good (fantastic) this camera is. This camera will give you excellent photos of family events or travel. I do it all the time. I prefer the aps-c camera due to its size, small lenses and over lower cost. The smaller lenses are just as good as the big full frame lenses, plus you have the added advantage of being able to use FF lens. This is a baby A7R5 in a smaller body with an aps-c sensor, which is the same one found in the FX-30 cinema camera by Sony. After 30 years of shooting film cameras, I have to say you will get better and sharper pictures with the a6700.
@nicuchitineac1950 i also have an a6300 and an a6400 if what you need is just stabilization then upgrade to a a6600 you can still buy new. The real upgrade on the a6700 is the dynamic range. From over 16 milion colours on the older 6000s to over ONE BILLION colours on the 6700.
Great review! I'm curious about the red shutter button.
Thanks mate! There is a link in description for it. Hope that helps :)
What about fujifilm's APS-C lineup like the X-H2s or the X-T5?
It’s amazing that the Osmo is comparable to this. 😊
I feel like this the camera for me. Hybrid and perfect starter one
Absolutely! What a brilliant camera to get started with! 🔥
I wish it had a built in flash , that will fulfill everything ❤️
It is good explanations that most of my considering points has been dig out. I'm using a6000 and ZV-E10 then considering to switch to Canon Full Size or stay on Sony APS-C to utilize my all APS-C lens collections. So now 70% of my motivation is go for a6700 lol. Thanks for good references in good timing.
Glad you enjoyed the video and you found it helpful. It's kinda crazy that I would often recommend this A6700 over some fullframes like the A7III and heck maybe even the A7IV. Sony really powercharged this camera for both photography and filmmaking! If you get the A6700 hope you enjoy creating with it! :)
@@CurtisPadley Hey, finally got a6700! Already took some photos and videos. The quality of images are super nice of course but usability of the body improved 2~3 steps ahead than my ZV-E10. Now I can say I made good choice and also glad to view this video for making decision. Thanks again.
Have you tested the Fujifilm xs20? Which one do you think is better for traveling?
Thanks for the great review
Please tell me how you got a red shutter button on your a6700.👏
its a neat camera.. but best for photography?.. i doubt it. im not a pro, but im sure many with argue even an xt2 is better. why would the new sensor and features make it best for photography? what's so special in a 26mp sensor vs an older 24, aside the less rolling shutter? and the newly added features in what i saw are video-related.. maybe af would be like.. best, but i it seems overly enthusiastic calling it best camera for photography.. maybe best hybrid, rather..
Yes it's one of the best APS-C cameras for photography and video currently on the market. At the end of the day both the XT2 and A6700 are brilliant cameras but I prefer the A6700, that's my opinion. It won't be shifted because of your comment.
i have had crush on A6700 but when i calculate all costs it was more expensive that full frame set , so now i have nikon Z5
Great video! Can you give me a link to that red camera button you have? Thanks
Some of the features you want this a6700 t9 have like the joystick is the exact reason why this is different than the a7 lines (besides apsc of course). If it had all those features you'd like to see, there would be no reason to get it and instead stick to FF A7 line.
I just can't decide, will have to rent an A7C and this little guy for a hands on test. The a6700 cost as much as a mint condition used A7c + lenses in Europe. They are also the same weight and size. Depending on what lenses you're getting, the setup is the same weight as well (mainly primes). That Sigma 18-50 alone could hold me on APSC probably. I wasn't impressed with it on my a6000 though, so trying it out on the a6700 again.
video on a6700 is way better, but if you want the best IQ for still go for A7C
6700 or alpha cii
Between them I am turning a blind eye to the cost but I won't be buying new lenses coming from a m50 mkii
Shall be on stock lens for a while ...kindly suggest which to buy ? I prefer a point and shoot and get good pics don't really have time for editing honestly speaking ...Thanks in Advance
Just came across you, been on the full frame vs ASP-C back and forth to buy as last camera was pretax SLR 35mm film camera, talk about old lol, I like the cheaper and smaller form factor and still much bigger sensor than my smart phone😎😎
yeah Curtis, the form factor okay...but i liked to choose, a bigger aps-c camera like in a A7rv body I like a good EVF...
but the location of the viewfinder, I prefer an evf at the top in the middle and yes a joystick would be nice....
two bodys a smaller like the A6700 and a bigger one, I have a A6600 but i prefer my A9 body and a lcd as the A7rv
The form factor is ideal and perfect for who it is aimed at. All APS-C cameras tend to be smaller then Fullframe equivalents and that's not just unique for Sony cameras.
If you get the chance take the A6700 out with the Sony 20mm 1.8.
Very good video Sir. Really liked this video 👍
Ayyyy thanks mate appreciate that! 🤙
Most of the time I'd use this camera for video and mostly in HD. I want the 18-135 lens option. However when used for photos do you have suggestions for a multi interface flash and a suitable lens shade? So far as a mic goes I am already using an ECM-B1M on a Sony camcorder.
Only thing missing on it is a Double SD slot
a6700 is a beast, but I don't think it's the best APSC camera. Best on Sony for sure.
What would you choose between a6700 and a7c ?
Liked and subscribed!. 🥂
Do you know if Sony removed the multi frame noise reduction setting for this camera (which I believe was present and very useful on all their other a6xx cameras)? Thanks!
I didn't. I have one a6300 and one a6400. I want to go upgrade, but i still not sure.
Hi Curtis! Good review…Regarding video only, which one do you think is better…Sony A6700 or Iphone 15 pro Max??
Thank you! Sony A6700 trumps an IPhone easily
I am thinking of switching to this beast, would you say it's worth it from the sony zve10 ?
Absolutely mate! 🤙
@@CurtisPadley Now I made the switch and It is a massive difference. @CurtisPadley
May I know what wrist strap are you using?
Do you have any discounts on your presets codes?
How did you replace the shutter button?
Can I mount a Rode videomic pro+ on the top of this?
Everything is beautiful but just 2 more megapixels over provious version and same 11fps is some kind of joking to me. Canon R7 is my choice.
Why is your shutter button red?
I'm really torn between the XT-5 and the A6700. I really like the offered 4k120 of the a6700, but am not sure if I really need it. I plan on using the camera I buy for travel photography and videography as well as some personal projects. The XT-5 is attractive cause of the 40 mp sensor over the 26 of the Sony, I'm not sure how big the different actually is. The Fuji also offers the 6,2k30, but lacks autofocus quality which I assume is very useful for street and travel work, especially as a beginner which I am. Is there anything I might be missing? From what I am hearing and reading, the Fuji is more taylored towards stills shooters and the Sony is a true hybrid. I would be thankful for any input anyone of you might give, as I really want to decide for what truly is better for said purpose. Cheers, and thank you a lot Curtis for you great Videos.
Cheers from Germany,
Kian
try checking the sony a7c or a7III.
@@unbloodz1584 thanks for the answer, just took the shoot on a good offer for the 6700
I own a fuji xh2. Autofocus is fantastic. I shot a fuji xh2 and sony a7iv for a commercial project, and I kept stopping and saying I couldn't believe how close the Autofocus really was. Don't listen to reviews. Try them both out. I've shot corporate training videos and commercials with Autofocus on fuji xh2. No question that sony Autofocus tracking is impressive. It really it. But... it's not the night and day difference people make it out to be from other systems.
@@mattz9569 thanks a lot for your input, that's interesting to hear. I already bought the a6700 and I'm super happy with it, so that is out of question. It's still interesting to hear personal reviews from people like you though,so thank you again!
How did you change your shutter button out? This would be a dope video to make
Simple attachment you can buy on amazon, left a link in description hope that helps! ✌️
Damn, I miss my Sigma 1850.
I wanted to ask you about camera brand and model to restart in boudoir photography, streetphotography, landscape. I have not photographed since the pandemic and I have sold all my equipment, which you recommend for a maximum budget of €2,500 including an f2.8 lens. Thank you in advance.
Today i will get mine . There is no silicon cover available anywhere. may be it is new thats y

Help!! Hi buddy love the videos and photos I have Sony a6400 along with sigma 18-50mm f2/8 30mm f1/4 and 56mm f1/4 I do street and travel photography no video at all . I think I might get Sony a6700 I have nearly £2000 to spend or should I go full frame or will I be happy with a6700 and not have to buy all new lens plus my partner has her eye on my a6400 so can’t even sell it to buy new lens if I go full frame cheers Phil
How can I make my button red on my 6700❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
What about the stabilization for videos..., same like Sony A7CII or Sony A6600 camera?
It's pretty much the same system as the A7CII. As I mentioned its nothing new from Sony, hope that answers your question ✌️
How did you remove the original shutter button to replace with the red shutter button?
It's a stick on
Now do zve10ii hehe
I’m actually really not that impressed by the ZVE10II the A6700 still remains the perfect hybrid APSC camera in my opinion
Wht should I buy A6700 or Sony A73
Buy this, I have the a73 and regret buying it last year every day. Wish I got the a74 instead.
I’m grabbing this shortly though
6:15 Even though you making a joke thats the proper term lol but the puns were hilarious! You are taking "Shots" with a camera sometimes in "burst" mode. you dont putt a camera or ride it. ijs lol you find your target and take a shot!
Would you guys risk using this for professional work? Specifically photography work?
Hmmm why wouldn't you? 🤔 I mean i literally used it for a client shoot and it was awesome!
@@CurtisPadley being used to full frame would you say you miss it quickly when going back to using a apsc camera?
@@CurtisPadley because it doesnt have dual SD card reader
Can you review the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 on the A6700?
I've just got my hands on this lens and have the A6700 for another week, I'll try my best to put somthing together! 🙏
@@CurtisPadley Viltrox 75mm f1.2 vs Sigma 56mm f1.4 would be the best content as it's very unique on youtube only few videos so don't wase your time on popular reviews

Amazing video! Damn, got me thinking about making the upgrade jump from my a6400! 😅
Thanks mate! It would be a brilliant upgrade from A6400 honestly.
Mope for ME the canon R7 is better
the engineer is a shooter so he/she used target... :)
A6700 sucks
Don't quite get how you think that, I mean:
26mp APS-C sensor
4:2:2 10-bit video
4k Upto 100fps
This thing is a pocket rocket for creatives. And that's just some of the headlines.
I wish I could upgrade someday.. the a6700 is Bloody expensive here in the Philippines! 🥲😔
All Sony cameras here are too expensive
