Is the 70-350 g lens still good for the a6700? Or are there better alternatives? I really want a budget telephoto but it's been really hard to find the 70-350 from where I am.
@@arkaefortt8 IMO, yes! The REACH can't be beat! Aside from getting 70-200mm, perhaps Tamron 70-180mm is the next best choice which both of those have the F2.8 advantage!
Hi @jasonvong what is the red ring you used with the VND filter? Was it a special step up ring? And which VND filter you ended up using most for photo and vlogging in bright day?
@@browser37 If it's just for vlogging the ZV-E10 might be better value. If you need an EVF and IBIS, the a6700 is a beast for hybrid shooting. The sigma 18-50mm isn't wide enough for vlogging and it telescopes when you zoom so it isn't ideal for gimbal work either.
I like how Jason changes the tempo and mood of his videos each time out. Sometimes he’s funny and cartoonish, and sometimes (like this time) he’s more subdued but still very clear and informative. Plus he’s very educational overall and in a way that is carefully thought out and unique from other creators. Being conscientious of people with smaller budgets as well and doing a video like this shows he’s got his mind out for all of us.
@@kouleeofficial Have them both. Overall I prefer the ergonomics and ease of use of the a7IV. Everything from EVF to external controls are easier to work with. I like the a7cII but am still getting used to it. Previously had the a7c and found it difficult to use without the performance of the a7cII so it was sold. The a7cII has the A/I chip and better stabilization but it also loses the 1/8000 shutter for shooting with f1.4 lenses and has a much lower synch speed for flash and lacks dual card slots. I can't tell the difference with the A/I chip. For paid work definitely the a7IV. But I do like the novelty and compactness of the a7cII. Footnote- to get the most out of compactness of the 7cII you'll need the 28-60 pancake lens which while OK, does not deliver professional quality results.
@@kouleeofficial for the extreme beginners, like those looking for just an everyday carry type camera, a7cii is way to go. But if you’re looking for a “professional” type setup, the a7iv is the camera to go with. I think that’s the easiest/simplest comparison I make to friends who ask which camera to start with.
a6400 was such a BEAST for me. IMO a6600 wasn't a good enough upgrade just for IBIS + headphone port alone so I've never bothered with it. FX30 came and it's great - but a lil too different in terms of form factor. But then finally... a6700! The SUBSTANTIAL update we needed and gawd, I love it!
Bought the A6700 to be my compact travel camera. Paired with the Sony 10-20 and 18-135 lenses and a Godox TT350S, it is all I need for any travel photowork and it fits in a pretty small bag that fits in my backpack.
highly agree with your take, it's been almost a year since I picked up the Sony A6700 with the Sigma 18-50 F 2.8 Lens(mostly cause of your review), it has been the best investment I've ever made for my UA-cam Channel, I've made some of my best videos thanks to this tiny little camera, the photos it puts out are pretty amazing too
I love my a6700 even more since I added a SmallRig baseplate to it . Paired with the Viltrox Pro lenses and it rivals any full frame. The a6700has the grip that should have been on the a7C /Cii.
Great video! My primary cameras (besides my iphone) are the RX-100iiv and A7rIV. I started with an a6400 and have always loved that form factor. My primary issues have always been lack of buttons (forcing you to use menus) for fast moving situations and the grip being hard to hold for long times. However this a6700 seems to, in my eyes, solve a lot of the major things I was looking for that would guide me towards something like an A7Cii. If I wasn't already so in love with my a7riv I'd probably seriously be looking at the a6700.
I shoot alot of street and action photography. I recently bought the a6700 to upgrade my ancient a6000, & I also shoot a full frame. With the 759 focus points, .02 second focus acquisition, and instantaneous shutter (shutter lag? what's that?), I'm getting a higher hit rate and overall sharper photos. The articulating screen is also useful for capturing radical angles on the street. Absolutely love it - except for the new bigger battery, which isn't coming even remotely close to the stated 750 shots.
My a6700 paired with the Sigma 18-50 and 10-18 is nearly perfect for everyday photography. And a pretty good starting point for sports or wildlife when paired with a telephoto zoom.
Really it depends if you want portability or not. If yes, go with the 18-50 as it’s lightweight & small…but if you want that extra reach and don’t mind carrying around a bigger lens, I say the 17-70. I was debating between the two and I have the 18 to 50 for my Fujixs20 and I like it, but for the stuff that I do like shooting Weddings and some sports the 17- 70 was just a little bit better for me!
My biggest problem with the Tamron 17-70 that I heavent seen in reviews is that dust gets inside of it really fast. I had dust in it after 1 month and after 6 months I can see a lot of particles on my photos. It starting to get unusable for videos. Even if I take care of it and watch out for it during shooting, dust just still gets inside. Also there is a weird vignetting effect in the corners at 50-70mm at wider apaertures that Lightroom just cant remove. Even the built in profile correction in my a6400 cant remove it, only Capture One was able to deal with it really well. The vignetting effect is a bigger problem on brigth or plain images like walls or sky, but its not noticable on busy pictures or darkers shots. Its th worse at 70mm at f2.8 and gets better at F5.6 or lower focal range. In my case dust screws this lens up quite fast and makles it really bad for long term use and for video work.
This came out EXACTLY the time I was looking to get my first camera, mostly for family and travel photography. It was tempting, but ended up settling for an A6100 and getting some better glass. Hoping that in the next year or so I can upgrade, and this a6700 is the top of my list! Although the A6100 is everything I need already at this time! Crazy how good Sony made all of these A6000 series.
I'm not even in the market for a camera that does any of this, but you make it sound SO good! Jason, love your work. You're a real fresh voice in the storm out there. Great post. Thanks for your time.
trust me it's only worthy for video and casual photography. You're not going anywhere taking photos of fast moving athletes, animals or aircraft with that 1/4000th speed OR trade it for a lot of rolling shutter. It happens, despite what the people say (they've been paid by Sony)
@@ChrisBrogan neither am I, i treat my camera like I treat my dog (well I love my dog infinitely more but you get what i mean) and I've been 8 years already with it. I'm simply trying to find a substitute since i already am about to hit the limit of shutter cycles where you don't know when it will die.
@@ChrisBrogan depends If I can afford to change the shutter mechanism of my a77ii and get a new rubber cover for less than €250 I'm 100% going for it. If it exceeds the price I'm going to save for an A7M4 and LA-EA5.
two different pricing categories. The a6700 has the better value and shares a lot of the same features as the ZV-E1 but what makes the ZV-E1 so good is the low light capabilities. Its my number 1 favorite camera of all time
Done! got it! thank you Jason. Now, question... What is the best "entry level for video editing (vlogs and small personal stuff)" computer/ laptop based on your experience?
Yup. 6700 with Sigma 18-50 is my go to for travel. Although, I'm giving the Sony ZV-1 mark 1 a shot on my trip to Japan next week, strictly for photos, and leaving the a6700 home.
Is there ever a time you'd say you'd use a gimbal like the DJI Ronin, or would the IBIS be good enough for most activities? Some example would be walking around exploring when traveling OR running around chasing the kids during some activity? Thinking something the DJI Pocket would be used for.
I would recommend a gimbal for what you're saying HOWEVER, if it's with family activities, then go DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Tinier, easier, and much more fun to use.
I upgraded quickly from my A6400. And I was really happy with my A6400. Using the same batteries as my A7Riv is very convenient. It added impressive video features and I got a chance to go with the focus system enhancements without the A7Rv or A7CR prices. I went to the A7Riv when adding ff to my aps-c, the a7c (or later A7Cii) never really appealed to me. A bigger body meant fewer trade offs and when considering the larger lenses and I already had small kit with the aps-c if looking for a smaller kit.
This camera overheats. Used it for only one month and sold it for FX30 (which has a built-in fan). Every 10-15 minutes outdoor shoot pops up the temperature warning. Beautiful hybrid camera but not good for outdoor Videography. If you do more outdoor Videography then invest in the fx30 instead, it's an absolute beast 💯
Love my 6700, just used it in Alaska. So fast on focus, could just walk along and snap photos. Question, I saw someone there that sure looked like you, was I right?
Great video! I have a Sony A6400, and Sigma 30 f1.4 and 18-50 f2.8. I'm thinking to switch my Sigma 30mm with Sony 35 mm for the OSS. Not sure if that will be the right move.
Both can be used.. But Sony a6700 ia a better Hybrid camera overall. Has 1. Mechanical Shutter 2. In body stabilzation 3. Electronic viewfinder All these features are missing in zv e10-2
You speak the truth! We shot our most recent music video with the Sony A6700 and the Yongnuo 11mm lens in a small room with very low light and fog. Our photoshoot was done with A6700 and the Sigma 18-50. I didn't even take the Canon rig out of the case. Thank you for knowledge.
A6000 series vs A7 Series, which one you guys prefer? especially for Photography. A7 series was Full Frame but some people say A6000 series was more than enough and had many features
The customizability of Creative Styles and Picture Profiles are so underrated for photo. I'd say if your creative enough you can make recipes you could only dream about with the currently available fuji film simulation profiles. I shoot fuji and sony and all my personal everyday photos are jpegs using some recipes i've made.
Such a great camera, i had to sell mine because of the annoying overheating. I live in a really hot and humid place and went full 180 degrees and bought a s5iix and im so happy with it.
thank thank and thank for coming across your YT channel. Now subscribed. I recently bought a6700 with kit lens and have been searching and reading a lot about lens, filters, tripods etc. This video surely helps a lot, thank you for making this one and I look forward to next videos on a6700.
This is the best alternative to Lumix s9 But it doesn't have a seamless app like it right? Does any other camera have that? Like point and shoot with preset lut then automatically transferring the pics or vids to mobile through wifi and posting on social media?
Love the newest 6700 have even used it for some photo shoots. Question: Have a Sigma 56 1.4 and really love that lens for portrait shots. Would the 18-50 feel like I would be overlapping lenses?
i start photograph with apcs camera , nex 5 then 6400 and now a7cii , i was going to buy a6700 but then after rethinking I decide that I'm ready to upgrade to full frame senor and get benefit from it in low light situation
Which one is better choice to choose. a6600 or the a6400 when both the bodies set at the exact price point. Also considering a6600 discounting factor in mind. Main perotity Photography and occasional video making ( mostly for Content creator on social media ). Also how was 7artisan lens paired with sony bodies.
I checked out the a7c2 before I bought the a6700,I wanted a small versatile camera and I think this will be great.I already have a a7rv so full frame is available when I need it.
Thanks for another useful video. Own several cameras including the A6700 and A7CII. Trying to keep my travel bags light. Did go out on a limb and by both the TTArtisan 27/1.8 for its super small size and the Viltox 27/1.2 for its great optical quality in APS-C. Do wish Sony would do a modern updated pancake lens targeted at 28mm full frame focal length for both APS-C and Full Frame. Take care.
I changed to the Sony eco system years ago for the stabilization and focus when I developed essential tremors in my hand. First the A6000 then A6500 and now the A6700. It really works well for me. I just got the Sigma 18-50 and have the 16 & 30 1.4 Sigma primes. I also have the Tamron 11-20 F2.8 for interiors / landscape and their 28-75 for a little reach. I thought about 28-200 but I could only use it on a tripod with my tremors. I do have overlapping lenses but don't want to part with any right now. I kept the 6500 for when I want to use 2 lenses at a time. Also have a ZV1 which is so compact and great for travel. 😁😁 I don't know if I should be thanking Sony, Sigma & Tamron or if they should be thanking me.
Great vid! I'd love to see a direct comparison between the a6700 and 35mm f1.8 and the a7cii with the 50mm f2.5. Nearly identical size weight and focal length so would be really interesting to see aps-c at f1.8 and oss in the lens vs FF at f2.5 but better in body stabalisation. Can't think of another aps-c vs ff setup comparison with sony that's so directly comparable!
I have the a7IV, but looking into more compact/lighter cameras for travel. I'd say the issue with getting an a7C is that the full-frame lenses are so much bigger and heavier than the APS-C lenses. I would prefer something cheaper, and smaller/lighter still than the a6700, but the a6700 really does have a lot to offer. I feel there'd be very little drop off in both video and photo quality from the a7IV (actually probably no drop off in video).
Today I get overheat in around 30 min, 4k 24p recording in my office so I don't know what is going on. I get this camera couple days ago and I start to thinking about give it back and buy FX30 instead ..
I own both A6700 & FX30, and have zero complaints. However I wish Sony would update their APSC lens lineup 18-105 f4.0 OSS with a little bit of macro capability would be nice.
I’ve noticed that the autofocus with the sigma lens during video recording isn’t as consistent as a native Sony lens. Is this still a problem with the a6700? I used the a6200
Thank you for making this video I'm literally about to upgrade to from Sony A6100 to Sony A6700, I already have a Sigma 16mm F1.4, Sony 50mm F1.8, Sigma 18-50 F2.8 I am all set, just waiting to get a good deal in used market
Had this camera and lens, absolutely loved this camera and lens. Butttttt I wish it had 2 SD card slots. Haven't had one fail on me, but would really not want to experience the day when it finally does
Like I mentioned at the end of the video, the a7C II is great but is at a higher pricing bracket. If you can afford it, definitely go for it! The a6700 just has a much better value imo it has all the same features for way less. Quality-wise it will be different because of the sensor sizes.
I thought it was going to be the s9! The Sigma 18-50 seems like a great choice for the 6700, weather resistant and relatively small, so likely fine with a gimbal for smooth video.
Without question, pretty much every camera that is out today is the only camera you will ever need. :-) pick a color, pick a style, pick a price, no matter what, learn how to be a photographer or filmmaker and you'll be covered quite well.
Jason, how are you loving the Sony shotgun mic ECM-M1 mic you have on it? I tried it with my a6700 but I'm not sure what to make of it yet. I think maybe I am using it wrong and need to tweak it somehow.
Love these kind of videos! I have the Sony A7cii with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 V2. Does it make sense to replace it with Sony a6700 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8?
You'll get better photos from the A7C2 and Tamron. If video is important, just buy a compact APS-C lens, like the Sigma, and 4k video will still be excellent. The A6700 is an excellent camera, but the A7C2 is a similar size.
Oh if you have the budget for it then I would HIGHLY recommend the ZV-E1 if you do a lot of videos and find yourself in low light often. I've done plenty of photos with the ZV-E1 and they are great - just make sure to check for banding in your photos if you shoot in front of LED Lights. 🫣 The a6700 is just more of a budget hybrid camera over the Full Frame choices.
I 've watched so many videos of Jason that I feel I know him. Well... my brother's name is Jason too, but we write it in Dominican Spanish "Yeison" I own the a7iii and I want a second camera in case of emergency. I do occasional photography and some paid work, but do it most for fun. I'm considering an a6600 because I use the pocket 3 for videos. Should I consider the a6700 instead? I've been doing research for a while. I don't want a second full frame camera for now.
I had the A6500 before upgrading to the A6700. Truly a massive upgrade and a remarkable camera. If you can afford it, go with the A6700 over the A6600. You won't be dissapointed.
I like that you said a6700 video quality is the same as FX30 -- the two cameras that I have struggled for more than 4 months now when it comes to choose which one to buy. Right now, the only reason holding me back from getting a6700 is the one card slot as a friend saw his card fail on him using this camera.
@@JasonVong Jason, I'm so happy to get a response from you. Keep doing great work with your YT channel. I always make sure to watch them. Big fan here. I'm based in the US and in NY and go to B&H all the time to test cameras. Yes, they're on sale but I only have a budget for one lens if I get it. Would you recommend the same lens Sigma 18-50mm on an FX30? Thanks
Just got this camera and Im so excited to use it :) If I have the money to splurge would the Sony 16-55mm f2.8 be better for vlogging and photography? I know that sony lenses are better for sony cameras when it comes to the stabilization
If that will be your only lens, then yes I think the Sony 16-55mm would be awesome for what you want! Spot on about the stabilization and the image quality is better
Hey well just bought the camera and i seriously am confused over the lens i could go for, well i do want to click night photography especially lunar photography, I want it under budget so was looking at Sony E 55 210Mm F4.5 6.3. Should i go for it or is there another lens under the same price range i can look for?
Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it. I love my a6700. I've been testing the Sirui Sniper lenses on it and my fx30, but that Sigma is definitely on my list.
i agree to you only some points ..especially the price of the body ..but the sony a7cii is the compact camera to have for the form factor i would prefer it over the a7iv both are clearly the same with a7cii being a tad bit better with improved processor specs for dedicated tracking of trains , cars , animals etc...hope the next iteration of a7v bring in a stacked sensor for faster readout same will come to the sony a7ciii .....nice to see.....👍

Same here, 6700 with sigma 18-50, perfect daily carry around camera. Light weight enough for travel and everthing.
Just as enough for travel as a6400 for 1/2 price

trust me it's only worthy for video and casual photography. You're not going anywhere taking photos of fast moving athletes, animals or aircraft with that 1/4000th speed OR trade it for a lot of rolling shutter. It happens, despite what the people say (they've been paid by Sony)
@@kingghidorah8106 - I'm a filthy casual, so it'll work fine for me. But I'm not really in the market.
@@ChrisBrogan neither am I, i treat my camera like I treat my dog (well I love my dog infinitely more but you get what i mean) and I've been 8 years already with it. I'm simply trying to find a substitute since i already am about to hit the limit of shutter cycles where you don't know when it will die.
@@kingghidorah8106 - what's your plan on the next one?
@@ChrisBrogan depends
If I can afford to change the shutter mechanism of my a77ii and get a new rubber cover for less than €250 I'm 100% going for it. If it exceeds the price I'm going to save for an A7M4 and LA-EA5.
It’s a great little camera that performs very well. Love mine.
Is this better than the Sony zv-e1?
two different pricing categories. The a6700 has the better value and shares a lot of the same features as the ZV-E1 but what makes the ZV-E1 so good is the low light capabilities. Its my number 1 favorite camera of all time
Done! got it! thank you Jason. Now, question... What is the best "entry level for video editing (vlogs and small personal stuff)" computer/ laptop based on your experience?
Much respect to you and your work! I admire your knowledge in photo and videography and how you emphasize all aspects of these.👌
Yup. 6700 with Sigma 18-50 is my go to for travel. Although, I'm giving the Sony ZV-1 mark 1 a shot on my trip to Japan next week, strictly for photos, and leaving the a6700 home.
Is there ever a time you'd say you'd use a gimbal like the DJI Ronin, or would the IBIS be good enough for most activities? Some example would be walking around exploring when traveling OR running around chasing the kids during some activity? Thinking something the DJI Pocket would be used for.
I would recommend a gimbal for what you're saying HOWEVER, if it's with family activities, then go DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Tinier, easier, and much more fun to use.
love the content ! mind if i ask what lens used in 0:13 ?
I upgraded quickly from my A6400. And I was really happy with my A6400. Using the same batteries as my A7Riv is very convenient. It added impressive video features and I got a chance to go with the focus system enhancements without the A7Rv or A7CR prices. I went to the A7Riv when adding ff to my aps-c, the a7c (or later A7Cii) never really appealed to me. A bigger body meant fewer trade offs and when considering the larger lenses and I already had small kit with the aps-c if looking for a smaller kit.
This camera overheats. Used it for only one month and sold it for FX30 (which has a built-in fan). Every 10-15 minutes outdoor shoot pops up the temperature warning. Beautiful hybrid camera but not good for outdoor Videography. If you do more outdoor Videography then invest in the fx30 instead, it's an absolute beast 💯
what was the outside temperature where you used your camera? the place i am staying is around 104F so i guess i shouldnt buy this?
Its a fashion now to have an EDC camera with you wherever you go and the only camera you need is the latest and greatest of that year.
Buy one good camera and use it for 10 years. It’s not that complicated.
Love my 6700, just used it in Alaska. So fast on focus, could just walk along and snap photos. Question, I saw someone there that sure looked like you, was I right?
Great video! I have a Sony A6400, and Sigma 30 f1.4 and 18-50 f2.8. I'm thinking to switch my Sigma 30mm with Sony 35 mm for the OSS. Not sure if that will be the right move.
I think if the Sigma 30 has been working for you, just keep it.
@@JasonVong thanks a lot for the reply. Keep up the good work :)
which lens did you use at 00:12 to 00:16 for cinematic shots? thx
For youtube channel, a6700 or zv-e10 mark 2 which is better ?
Both can be used.. But Sony a6700 ia a better Hybrid camera overall. Has
1. Mechanical Shutter
2. In body stabilzation
3. Electronic viewfinder
All these features are missing in zv e10-2
You speak the truth! We shot our most recent music video with the Sony A6700 and the Yongnuo 11mm lens in a small room with very low light and fog. Our photoshoot was done with A6700 and the Sigma 18-50. I didn't even take the Canon rig out of the case. Thank you for knowledge.
Hey Jason! I just ordered tbe A7CII. Do you have any recommendations for kit to go alongside?
6:00 wait - WHERE did you get the battery grip??
You don’t have overheating issue with the a6700. May I ask what SD card are you using with it?
How about the sigma 28-70mm contemporary? If you are running a full-frame?
I bought it because of you and ditched my fuji x-t30ii, best choice i've ever made, the grip is just (chef kiss)
Can you recommend a decent ND filter for the 16-55 Sony lens that won’t break the bank. Preferably a 2-5 stop to start. Thanks.
Thanks for the video!!! I'm between Sony a 6700 and Fuji xt50 that is in the same price range. Which one do you recommend???
What are the two ND filters you have on the 18-50mm lense from this video?
A6000 series vs A7 Series, which one you guys prefer? especially for Photography. A7 series was Full Frame but some people say A6000 series was more than enough and had many features
The customizability of Creative Styles and Picture Profiles are so underrated for photo. I'd say if your creative enough you can make recipes you could only dream about with the currently available fuji film simulation profiles. I shoot fuji and sony and all my personal everyday photos are jpegs using some recipes i've made.
They are pretty cool indeed.
Profiles are nice, but they can’t match the precision of skin tones of the Fuji sims. Profiles are like using a wall paintbrush to paint on canvas.
Such a great camera, i had to sell mine because of the annoying overheating. I live in a really hot and humid place and went full 180 degrees and bought a s5iix and im so happy with it.
That battery grip though! I can’t seem to find it online anywhere… does the FX30 also have an attachable grip that you can buy?
I have a work8nh Alpha 6000 besides thempix sensor, is it out of date already? Any comparison why I should upgrade?
thank thank and thank for coming across your YT channel. Now subscribed. I recently bought a6700 with kit lens and have been searching and reading a lot about lens, filters, tripods etc. This video surely helps a lot, thank you for making this one and I look forward to next videos on a6700.
I love the granma doing Tai Chi on the background.
Hey Jason, would you recommend the 24mm - 70 lens for filming a podcast ?
What filters do you use on top of the sigma 18-50mm?
How did you add yourself in the square over the main video ? What software are you using ?
This is the best alternative to Lumix s9
But it doesn't have a seamless app like it right? Does any other camera have that? Like point and shoot with preset lut then automatically transferring the pics or vids to mobile through wifi and posting on social media?
It the a6400 a good one with the sigma 18-50mm f2.8? Its without stabilisation is this a problem?
Love the newest 6700 have even used it for some photo shoots.
Question: Have a Sigma 56 1.4 and really love that lens for portrait shots. Would the 18-50 feel like I would be overlapping lenses?
When did the sigma 23mm f1.4 come out! I totally missed that one!
Hey! Just wondering what filters you had in this video on the sigma 18-50mm? Thanks
i start photograph with apcs camera , nex 5 then 6400 and now a7cii , i was going to buy a6700 but then after rethinking I decide that I'm ready to upgrade to full frame senor and get benefit from it in low light situation
I have it, and love it. I use Sigma 30mm 1.4f, and its great for filmmaking and photography!
Which one is better choice to choose. a6600 or the a6400 when both the bodies set at the exact price point. Also considering a6600 discounting factor in mind. Main perotity Photography and occasional video making ( mostly for Content creator on social media ). Also how was 7artisan lens paired with sony bodies.
Between Sony A6700 and Lumix s5 ii. Which one would you recommend?
I checked out the a7c2 before I bought the a6700,I wanted a small versatile camera and I think this will be great.I already have a a7rv so full frame is available when I need it.
Love your channel lots of good information! I was wondering if you script your videos or not.
Thanks for another useful video. Own several cameras including the A6700 and A7CII. Trying to keep my travel bags light. Did go out on a limb and by both the TTArtisan 27/1.8 for its super small size and the Viltox 27/1.2 for its great optical quality in APS-C. Do wish Sony would do a modern updated pancake lens targeted at 28mm full frame focal length for both APS-C and Full Frame. Take care.
I use Canon RP which is only camera I need it's always paired with small and light RF 50 f/1.8 it gives very nice looking photos out of camera
I changed to the Sony eco system years ago for the stabilization and focus when I developed essential tremors in my hand. First the A6000 then A6500 and now the A6700. It really works well for me. I just got the Sigma 18-50 and have the 16 & 30 1.4 Sigma primes. I also have the Tamron 11-20 F2.8 for interiors / landscape and their 28-75 for a little reach. I thought about 28-200 but I could only use it on a tripod with my tremors. I do have overlapping lenses but don't want to part with any right now. I kept the 6500 for when I want to use 2 lenses at a time. Also have a ZV1 which is so compact and great for travel. 😁😁 I don't know if I should be thanking Sony, Sigma & Tamron or if they should be thanking me.
Hi Vong, I am dondering which filter do you use with the Sigma 18-50 F 2.8 Len in this video? Thanks a lot!
Great vid! I'd love to see a direct comparison between the a6700 and 35mm f1.8 and the a7cii with the 50mm f2.5. Nearly identical size weight and focal length so would be really interesting to see aps-c at f1.8 and oss in the lens vs FF at f2.5 but better in body stabalisation. Can't think of another aps-c vs ff setup comparison with sony that's so directly comparable!
I have the a7IV, but looking into more compact/lighter cameras for travel. I'd say the issue with getting an a7C is that the full-frame lenses are so much bigger and heavier than the APS-C lenses. I would prefer something cheaper, and smaller/lighter still than the a6700, but the a6700 really does have a lot to offer. I feel there'd be very little drop off in both video and photo quality from the a7IV (actually probably no drop off in video).
I have Sigma 18-35 f1.8 (Nikon F Mount). Will this lens work great with this camera?
Today I get overheat in around 30 min, 4k 24p recording in my office so I don't know what is going on.
I get this camera couple days ago and I start to thinking about give it back and buy FX30 instead ..
I own both A6700 & FX30, and have zero complaints. However I wish Sony would update their APSC lens lineup
18-105 f4.0 OSS with a little bit of macro capability would be nice.
I’ve noticed that the autofocus with the sigma lens during video recording isn’t as consistent as a native Sony lens. Is this still a problem with the a6700? I used the a6200
Thank you for making this video
I'm literally about to upgrade to from Sony A6100 to Sony A6700,
I already have a Sigma 16mm F1.4, Sony 50mm F1.8, Sigma 18-50 F2.8
I am all set, just waiting to get a good deal in used market
In which use cases will the full frame be better than this Apsc?
So how much do them budget lenses that you use cost..
A7c or a6700 for plays with video Sir?
Are the sample vids raw or graded already sir? How about the pics? Are those raw? Thank you so much
Had this camera and lens, absolutely loved this camera and lens. Butttttt I wish it had 2 SD card slots. Haven't had one fail on me, but would really not want to experience the day when it finally does
A6700 or a7cii? The a7cii is that not better in low light? With a bigger sensor?
Like I mentioned at the end of the video, the a7C II is great but is at a higher pricing bracket. If you can afford it, definitely go for it! The a6700 just has a much better value imo it has all the same features for way less. Quality-wise it will be different because of the sensor sizes.
I thought it was going to be the s9! The Sigma 18-50 seems like a great choice for the 6700, weather resistant and relatively small, so likely fine with a gimbal for smooth video.
Without question, pretty much every camera that is out today is the only camera you will ever need. :-) pick a color, pick a style, pick a price, no matter what, learn how to be a photographer or filmmaker and you'll be covered quite well.
Would you recommend this camera or the Sony ZV-E1 for vlogging and talking head videos ?
Please can you make a comparison with the Sony Zve10 II ????
Jason, how are you loving the Sony shotgun mic ECM-M1 mic you have on it? I tried it with my a6700 but I'm not sure what to make of it yet. I think maybe I am using it wrong and need to tweak it somehow.
Love these kind of videos! I have the Sony A7cii with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 V2. Does it make sense to replace it with Sony a6700 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8?
You'll get better photos from the A7C2 and Tamron. If video is important, just buy a compact APS-C lens, like the Sigma, and 4k video will still be excellent. The A6700 is an excellent camera, but the A7C2 is a similar size.
Keep the a7C II! This is more for folks who are looking for an everyday camera in this pricing category.
This was great, am on the fence re the ZVE1 but the photo quality option you lay out here has me thinking this may be a better purchase…?
Oh if you have the budget for it then I would HIGHLY recommend the ZV-E1 if you do a lot of videos and find yourself in low light often. I've done plenty of photos with the ZV-E1 and they are great - just make sure to check for banding in your photos if you shoot in front of LED Lights. 🫣 The a6700 is just more of a budget hybrid camera over the Full Frame choices.
I 've watched so many videos of Jason that I feel I know him. Well... my brother's name is Jason too, but we write it in Dominican Spanish "Yeison"
I own the a7iii and I want a second camera in case of emergency. I do occasional photography and some paid work, but do it most for fun. I'm considering an a6600 because I use the pocket 3 for videos. Should I consider the a6700 instead? I've been doing research for a while. I don't want a second full frame camera for now.
I had the A6500 before upgrading to the A6700. Truly a massive upgrade and a remarkable camera. If you can afford it, go with the A6700 over the A6600. You won't be dissapointed.
I like that you said a6700 video quality is the same as FX30 -- the two cameras that I have struggled for more than 4 months now when it comes to choose which one to buy. Right now, the only reason holding me back from getting a6700 is the one card slot as a friend saw his card fail on him using this camera.
FX30 is currently on sale right now if you live in the US!
@@JasonVong Jason, I'm so happy to get a response from you. Keep doing great work with your YT channel. I always make sure to watch them. Big fan here. I'm based in the US and in NY and go to B&H all the time to test cameras. Yes, they're on sale but I only have a budget for one lens if I get it. Would you recommend the same lens Sigma 18-50mm on an FX30? Thanks
@@denniszenanywhere Yes 100% 18-50mm is KING for APS-C!
@@JasonVong Thanks
A6700 with Sony 15mm f1.4 - perfect walkabout lens, and ultra-sharp.
Just got this camera and Im so excited to use it :) If I have the money to splurge would the Sony 16-55mm f2.8 be better for vlogging and photography? I know that sony lenses are better for sony cameras when it comes to the stabilization
If that will be your only lens, then yes I think the Sony 16-55mm would be awesome for what you want! Spot on about the stabilization and the image quality is better
Hey well just bought the camera and i seriously am confused over the lens i could go for, well i do want to click night photography especially lunar photography, I want it under budget so was looking at Sony E 55 210Mm F4.5 6.3. Should i go for it or is there another lens under the same price range i can look for?
Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it. I love my a6700. I've been testing the Sirui Sniper lenses on it and my fx30, but that Sigma is definitely on my list.
been seeing a lot about Sirui APSC in the comments, I might have to check it out!
What camera bag do you recommend?
i agree to you only some points ..especially the price of the body ..but the sony a7cii is the compact camera to have for the form factor i would prefer it over the a7iv both are clearly the same with a7cii being a tad bit better with improved processor specs for dedicated tracking of trains , cars , animals etc...hope the next iteration of a7v bring in a stacked sensor for faster readout same will come to the sony a7ciii .....nice to see.....👍
Hi, can you do a comparison on the sony a6700 vs Sony 7iv? Thank you
