Hello Pierre! I have a Sony a6000 and the fact that it's very light and portable makes it possible to have it in my bag everyday even when going to university. Even on hikes it's very suitable!
I hope they will introduce A6200 which will be same size as 6400, honestly this a6700 looks quite big to me and it looks that the portability is not so perfect as with a 6400 or simillar
@@danielzeman7530 I think the fact that it has IBIS made it a little bit bigger. But the a6xxx series is very portable even with such features. With the a6700 they really made a portable beast. But of course for a beginner or someone who takes photos occasionally it is still pricey.
Just sold my R6 II and placed an order for this camera. I am no longer doing paid work and want something light, portable, powerful and with plenty of lens selection. This fits the bill perfectly.
I’m currently having a a6300 as my main, I do bird and plane spotting with a 600mm lens, which converts to 900mm on my cropped aps c sensor, is it worth it to upgrade to a full frame say like a7r3 or upgrade to a better aps c body like a6700?
Thank you for this review. one question. Which camera has better focusing system and better dynamic range? Sony a6700 or canon R8? Do you have experience? Thank you
I want to go full frame as my first camera so I am waiting for the A7C II update as I much prefer the new menu system when navigating the camera but if the price is up more than I expect the a6700 may be my go to.
I own a Canon R6 and I had a trip with it last month. I felt the R6 with 24-105 f4 is a bit chunky when traveling and am thinking to get one more APS-C camera considering its smaller form factor. Yet, the photo quality and experience is my major concern though. Could anyone give me some advice?😅
Hey Pierre what is your honest opinion on comparing this a6700 camera with another compact - the a7c? With the price point and sales going on currently I’m in the market between these two… the a7c full frame sensor seems like a nice option to have for better low light performance but the added megapixels, and ai auto focus on this new a6700 seems like a great option too- i mostly will be doing portraits/ cars/ street photography. Are you able to help me out!? What is your professional advice!
Are you getting any IBIS corner wobbles with wide lenses? - I bought a X-S20 recently and the corner wobbling with IBIS is driving me crazy :( - now wondering if I should send it back and get the A6700.
Which are the lenses should i buy along with this Camera. I am not a professional photographer. I am more of casual shooter. Looking to shoot portraits and landscape or nature shots.
want to upgrade from my rebel t7 would you recomend the a6700? or go with the a6400 if on a lower budget or maybe the zve10? i wanna be able to do photography and videography any thoughts?
i have an apsc, im not sure if i want to upgrade to a full frame or stick with apsc, but a newer one. but i do know that as a result of the full frame prices, im leaning towards buying a new apsc
The thing are the lenses. And especially now, with 1.2 primes appearing for APS-C, and with the prices of equivalent quality full frame lenses getting higher and higher, I'd go with APS-C any day. I've seen what I can do with both, and while some things are easier with FF, the size and cost savings are a no brainer for me
Still on the APS-C life. 3 cameras strong. Mostly photography, very little video as you can imagine. Still have an a6000 as my main with no real complaints. Looking to update my lens options than the camera body. Though this is peaking my interest.
Been thinking about full-frame vs APS-C for a while now since I was considering the A7C. I've compared a lot of photos the past year and yes, the FF definitely has a better low light performance and bokeh. But looking at it from the perspective of a casual shooter who just does this on travel/vacation, those advantages are better saved for a professional photographer. 90% (maybe even more) of my photos are gonna end up on my phone/social media anyways and people there will rarely know the difference. Maybe some would end up as my desktop wallpaper but it's not like I couldn't live with a bit of worse bokeh. Also have to think about the costs. FF body and lenses are so expensive and that's what's primarily keeping me away from switching to it. If I had infinite money then I'd go full frame but the price difference between building your own set of lenses for APS-C vs FF can be used for a lots of other things.
Agree, but depending on the lineup you're running it's not even that expensive (buying used) nor is it heavier My current apsc lineup is sigma 16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4, Sony 18-105. and I shoot 98 percent of my photos of with the Sigma. those are 405g, 265g, 427g = 1,096g possible replacements: samyang 24 1.8 230g, sony zeiss 55 1.8 281g, sony 24-105 663g = 1,174g
Also thinking about going apsc or ff. Apsc is cheaper, yes. But my question is, will I desire going FF in the future? If thats the case, then investing in FF body and lenses is the way to go. But I dont know if im going to stay satisfied with apsc or there will be time that I want to go ff even if its just for talking heads and capturing family occasions. I havent bought any camera/lense yet, so I am really thinking of how to start this camera madness 😁. Crop or FF? Any advice? Thanks.
@@_thealexm_I started with an a7c, similar in price to apsc. Currently I have the a7c, a6700, if you really want ff try the a7c and then go from there
Agree completely with your comments. I have both APS-C and FF and when I mix images shot with each in a book or 'slide show' no one can tell the difference or cares! I think we as photographers create stories in our heads that FF look is soo much dreamier and we'd be missing out if we shoot APS-C. So while yes FF can create more shallow depth of field look, if you shoot faster lenses with APS-C you will get a VERY similar look. I find it really about lenses like the 85mm f1.4 and 135mm f1.8 that make those bokehlish images. Those lenses would give you gorgeous images with an A6700 body
A few years ago I searched for my next cam, to replace my old Canon 1300D. At first, the a6000 series catched my attention, but i wanted something more premium and that would’ve been the 6600. At that price point, it seemed more reasonable to switch to the a7iii. By now i love my 7iii but sometimes, when i pick up a an apsc, i really really love the fact, that it’s so small an compact. just feels like a slightly bigger phone
I have a APS-C (samsung nx 1100 if anyone knows that camera) and i think i couldn't go bigger then micro four-thirds. I like to have a light and small camera that i can take everywhere and not have to worry if i have enough space for everything as i dont have a camera bag yet.
Why did no review hqve low light shots? I shoot a lot in the night and dark rooms. Been waiting for an APSC sensor which matches FF low light performance. So that it's the same just with a crop.
I have the Sony A1 and 400 GM and am mainly a wildlife photographer. The results are wonderful, but I have ordered the new A6700 to use with the 70-350 G lens as a lightweight setup for wildlife photography, such as for when I want to go lightweight on foot. The difference in weight is huge, 1kg against 4kg.
Thanks for sharing. I am considering the same, but Im a bit apprehansive because I'm worried that I'll just end up lugging my big lens around anyway out of fomo. Are you happy with your choice so far?
I have the same combo! It`s super duper. My daughter uses the a6000 and we share lenses and accessories. I’m looking forward, that maybe the a6400 will be much more cheaper and I buy and upgrade for her 🙂,
Bonjour Pierre, Hello Pierre, Its nice to have a photographer's point of vue. But this test is laking of low light images. Maybe this camera with it's 11 images burst would interest photographers on a budget willing to do some indoor sport photography ?
Been thinking of upgrading for awhile to Full-Frame and I currently own the a6600. I think it makes sense to wait until Q3-Q4 of this year until a7C Mark II is released to determine if I want to stay APS-C or move to Full-Frame. The a7C Mark II will most likely have the same sensor from the a7 IV with 33mp over 26mp in the a6700. The downside I see is that the 33mp sensor can only do 4K 60fps vs 4K 120fps in the a6700.
Hi Pierre, I am currently using an APS-C sensor Camera and i'm happy with it. But i won't rule out getting a Full Frame sensor Camera in the future. The images from the Sony A6700 are really nice and crisp with great colour. Sony have a great reputation for developing great Autofocus. Like the flip screen tilt it's good for selfies. This Camera is all you need if you shoot with an APS-C. It's a worthy camera to consider for us APS-C users. Thank you.
There is a gap but I wouldn't say a huge gap. Micro 4/3 for example still competes with FF in all areas except for low light. It's about finding the right aps-c camera and this is close to perfect. I'm selling my Fuji after shooting with the a6700.
Exactly! I am keeping my Sony 24mm GM f1.4, sold my A74, and going to get two Sony A6700 cameras (light weight, have a backup body, etc.) - pair this with something like the Sony 11mm f1.8, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and the Sony 70-350 G lens and you can tackle anything with lower weight. Compare this to the A74, with something wide, something like the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 and Sony 100-400 GM our something on the telephoto and you are spending more, with more weight, etc.
I started out with the sony a6000 and kit lens about around when it was released i have had it since then still use it, then upgraded to a sony a6600 both are great i so like the upgrades of the a6600 but do go back to my 6000, for me i was going to go full frame but i do like the depth of field i get that would be equal to a big full frame lens, there are for sure the benefits of both full and apsc, i am product photographer so use lights an flashes that help, maybe one day ill go full frame but till then im pretty satisfied
Just ordered the ZV-E10 and Tamron 11-20mm for getting into vlogging. Already have a A7 IV with 16-35 GM but for vlogging it’s to heavy for me so I was looking for a lighter combo. Now the 6700 is announced and I’m not sure if I should get this instead of the ZV-E10. Huge plus is the IBIS I think but I heard you can get done a lot of stabilization through Catalyst Browse. What do you guys think?
i have the tamron 11-20mm and is a great and sharp lens. if you are starting I would suggest you sitck to the zv-e10 while you are learning. later down the line you can upgrade. I have been using the a6000 for almost 4 years now and it has been what It made me progress much more in the photography world
@@corderophotography thank you for your answer and I think you’re right! Received the E10 and I’m super satisfied for what I bought it so far :) super lightweight compared to the A7 IV and the Tamron is a really good lens!
Hi Pierre, i started photography 3/4 months ago with a old700d and now i wanna get a new camera and i would like to have your opinion, sony a6400 or Canon R10? whot do you think i should get for Photography? oh i also considered the sony Alpha A7 II but ithink i prefere the aps-c for now!!! its hard to chose! love you videos keep the great work.
i use two a1 for the paid stuff. but maybe this thing would be great for action with the kids or some pics during an mtb ride and stuff like that. love the a1 with the 50 1.2 for example but simply dont want to carry it around all day. apsc with 16mm pancake sounds like fun
I just did this two days ago. I have the Sony 10-18, 18-105 f4 and the sigma 18-50 2.8 and the sigma 30 1.4. Video and autofocus and such make it an amazing upgrade; I think photo will vastly improve if I improve the glass to full frame equivalents in some degree
When will they release a camera without a film option. There are so many photographers who just take pictures. And then the step is also made faster to buy a new device. Now it's to expensive to upgrade my gear 😢
As a hybrid mostly video shooter this is the upgrade ive been waiting for. The upgrade to video and the more quality of life things for photo are exactly what I need. Due to both weigh and mu workflow, Ive never felt to the push to go full frame. Many of the full frame features like dual cards slots are nice to haves but im not going to miss them. That being said im also not a professional
Apsc all the way, except for ultra wide stuff, portraits and weddings where you use a deeper bokeh and astro, there is no advantage in getting a full frame and to carry a load of 10kg in ff lenses in my bag is just too much for me 😁 I have a6000 with 3 lenses and seriously thinking about getting this one, in would be finally a real upgrade for the money 😍
I started out on the a6000 and then went full frame, with the a6400 as a travel camera, I love the lightweight and crop factor of the camera, and use it in combination with my a7c , which is a great camera too! The new a7000 autofocus is tempting! ❤
@@someguy3595 that’s kinda hard, the new AI in the a700 is tempting, but the a7c is lightweight and always produces really beautiful photos with good depth of field, probably the a7c…I use for all my paid photography jobs…i heard they are coming out new Mark ii, I think.
May I know what made you switch to full frame? I am about to start my camera madness and I want to do it the right way, as I dont want to invest in lenses and decide to switch later - which will be more expensive.
@@_thealexm_ hi! I use my FF camera for photography jobs, I like the a7c best the resolution and image quality is beautiful but the file sizes aren’t massive-so they edit quickly! I use my crop sensor Sony for travel and casual photography-I love using my full frame Sony lenses on my crop, so whenever I get a new lens, I know I can use it across my cameras…I just don’t use my crop lenses on my FF
Since I prefer video, I kinda want the fx30. I hear of overheating on the a6700. If the FX30 had ai features or the a6700 had a fan, I'd be sold on either.
I am torn between a7iv and a6700 because full frame is bigger sensor so better low light performance but I would lose 70mm of focal length on my Tamron 35-150 and with me doing sports photography that is something I can't consider ligthly. But the fact that a6700 seems like a really well rounded camera and it costs substantially less than the a7iv makes so right now I am more geard towards the a6700
As an a6500 user, I can tell you the best you can do is get the a6700 and buy also a speedbooster so you can have FF capabilities when needed, but still get the APS-C weight and size most of the time.
It`s all about budget and/or weight/bulk... For me (just bought the A6700, and Sigma 18-50 2,8), and it`s a pure joy to carry around such a small, lightweight, and really high performing, package! The equivalent full frame package is much more expensive and heavier/bulkier. My opinion!😀
I own an a6300, I don't mind and it is good for my needs, of course I would like a full frame camera, but I think it is too much for my use. I am interested for the new a6700 I think I will keep an eye on it
Went from A6300 to a7c and I would do it again. Fast running kids, in the dark, around the Christmas tree, no problem. The viewfinder is the only bad thing.
I’m buying it as a long overdue replacement to my backup camera the Sony A6000. To me the new BSI sensor, the AI autofocus and ergonomic improvement in the front dial, new menu and full touchscreen makes it a worthy upgrade. I would buy this over the discounted A6600 for those reasons. I’m glad the Sony held down the price to USD $1398. Sure, they could have added a much improved LCD and viewfinder and added a joystick or a second SD card slot but that would have increased the price. I already have a full frame Sony camera and appreciate that the A6700 complements that by being lighter, more compact and cheaper. We have many choices in cameras today…to me I have my cellphone with me at all times. I use an RX100 to take with me for hiking and backpacking. I can see the A6700 being handing for that purpose as well especially when paired with a small APSC prime. It’s also useful to me as a B camera and will be probably be my choice of camera when want to travel light or do street photography. I can see using it for wildlife photography as well, extending the range of my modest but lighter 100-400mm lens. As good as a full frame camera is…it is probably my least used camera. I’m perfectly happy with my A7RII for landscape photography. I don’t need the latest and greatest autofocus for that purpose. There’s something to be said about an updated light, compact hybrid camera that can do photography and video well. It’s a camera that I look forward to putting inside my EDC sling and have with me more times than my full frame camera. The A6700 fits the bill for me. I’m not going to stress and compare it to the Canon or Fuji competition. I’m perfectly happy in the Sony ecosystem as I have a good collection of full frame and some APSC lenses. I’m happy that Sony finally made it worth it for me to upgrade my trusty A6000 in 2023 before that camera wears out. My trusty Sony A6000 and A7RII were breakthrough cameras that convinced me to switch to mirrorless. They have served me well…so well that it was hard to justify replacing them….so the A6700 has some big shoes to fill.
I am using 6600 and to be honest APS-C are really good in terms of crop shot you don't need to spend much time post photoshoot. However FF definitely is a much more better in terms of landscape photography. Also I like the flip screen feature of 6700 which was missing in 6600.
I bought an X-S20 a day before the A6700 was released and now I'm torn, should I keep it or get the Sony. The things swaying me to the Sony are no crop in 4k60 / FHD240p (why add a crop Fuji!), much better video AF, catalyst (for some awesome post processing options), weather sealing (I don't film in the rain but got rained on several times and was scared for my X-S10), 4K120p (even with the huge crop), higher ISO range (better in low light?), the ISO for SLOG3 Is 800 instead of 1250 on the Fuji FLOG2 (less noisy video?), amazing in body fixes for lens breathing and other lens defects (can't find any info on in body fixed on the Fuji?), I'm finding the exact same lenses are 20-30% cheaper in E-mount vs X-mount. The things swaying me to the Fuji is the open gate 6.2k (great for instagram and UA-cam cropping), no overheating in video, better IBIS (on paper anyway, I can't find a side by side test), 4k60 USB webcam (single USB cable for power / external recording with film sims, very cool!), better LCD screen, joystick is super handy, fuji colours and film simulations are awesome to have, some unique great lenses, many years of meaningful firmware updates (Sony are notorious for neglecting cameras after release). I'm very torn! - Any thoughts? :)
I am now an a6400 user and interested in moving to Fuji, the xs20 is the best choice in my opinion, the colors and sharp image quality I have seen on the xh2, do you think the quality is the same as the xh2, and the issue of overheat is it safe so far especially the video documentation? does xs20 have better picture quality than sony?
Left Sony FF for Fuji APS-C a few weeks ago. Loving my new X-T5. Vastly more fun to use and very comparable image quality. Only downside for me is a the 1.5x hit to the DOF. But with their 1.4 lenses it’s not toooo bad. Worth it.
That's interesting, I'm on Fuji right now and I've been disappointed with the video specs of my X-S10. I bought an X-S20 and the video autofocus still leaves a lot to be desired, I still cannot move my focus point to an object and ask the camera to track it in video, only in photo more. It feels very dated. So now I'm thinking to send that back and get an A6700, but I am conflicted. The things swaying me to the Sony are no crop in 4k60 / FHD240p (why add a crop Fuji!), much better video AF, catalyst (for some awesome post processing options), weather sealing (I don't film in the rain but got rained on several times and was scared for my X-S10), 4K120p (even with the huge crop), higher ISO range (better in low light?), the ISO for SLOG3 Is 800 instead of 1250 on the Fuji FLOG2 (less noisy video?), amazing in body fixes for lens breathing and other lens defects (can't find any info on in body fixed on the Fuji?), I'm finding the exact same lenses are 20-30% cheaper in E-mount vs X-mount.

@@DigiDriftZone Fuji has definitely the edge when it comes to usability. It's simply more fun and engaging to use, from their design to their features, while the Sony cameras are technical powerhouses but feel more like a tool. That said, it really comes down to your priorities. For photo I would grab a Fuji any day, but if you're more interested in video recording, raw quality and a sliiiightly cheaper price, investing on a Sony camera is probably the way to go.
@@DigiDriftZonedid you decide? I’m in exact same decision point currently on XT2. Photo hobbyist. XS20 or XT5 vs A6700. That Sony AF-c eye tracking so tempting. Extra front dial finally I think completes the exposure triangle manual controls.
Finally what, they keep treating their APSC cameras like toys. I still use my 6000 for street photography. It does the job and it's 24 megapixels. I can find a reason to upgrade to this one. I getting the LEICA Q3, and I have an A73. This camera is a letdown. Im sorry but it should have been more megapixels for cropping.
This is agonizing. Nikon FF to Fuji X-T5 to MFT GX9. I’ve loved the GX9, it has a higher res screen and VF than A6700! But mft is too cropped. I’m interested in the Sony for its AF, video tech, and size. Even X-T5 felt big. But it’s all about printing. Aside from DOF differences, would one be satisfied with 20x30 out of APS-c? I Love the form factor of the A-series(although as a still shooter I like a flip screen better). The size, weight and cost of lenses for full frame is nearly a deal breaker. The question for me is print quality a deal breaker?
And the need to use the screen rather than joysticks buttons would totally annoy me. Then there is the poor resolution of both the LCD and EVF. Shame as I had high hopes for this - but I am out until the 6800!

:)
I’m currently having a a6300 as my main, I do bird and plane spotting with a 600mm lens, which converts to 900mm on my cropped aps c sensor, is it worth it to upgrade to a full frame say like a7r3 or upgrade to a better aps c body like a6700?
Thank you for this review.
one question.
Which camera has better focusing system and better dynamic range? Sony a6700 or canon R8?
Do you have experience? Thank you
How’s the overheating
And overall picture image , does it have filter like Fuji color filter mode
What is the color accuracy and representation on the EVF/LCD? Because on the a6600/a6400 it is not good at all.
Is it possible to hold it out of your hand like the sony a7r v and have a long exposure of 1 to 4 seconds?
I want to go full frame as my first camera so I am waiting for the A7C II update as I much prefer the new menu system when navigating the camera but if the price is up more than I expect the a6700 may be my go to.
I own a Canon R6 and I had a trip with it last month. I felt the R6 with 24-105 f4 is a bit chunky when traveling and am thinking to get one more APS-C camera considering its smaller form factor. Yet, the photo quality and experience is my major concern though. Could anyone give me some advice?😅

How is the apsc better if you want shallow depth of field with low light? 🤔
Really great calender collection😊😊😊😊

I've seen what I can do with both, and while some things are easier with FF, the size and cost savings are a no brainer for me
Pierre, in a future video can you walk us through your bag and dual peak design capture clip setup you are using here?
Fujifilm APS-C and loving it. Street photography and commercial projects.
Still on the APS-C life. 3 cameras strong. Mostly photography, very little video as you can imagine. Still have an a6000 as my main with no real complaints. Looking to update my lens options than the camera body. Though this is peaking my interest.
Bought a ZVE-10 a while back and have been loving it. I'm immediately interested in this camera, alas it is a big purchase..
Been thinking about full-frame vs APS-C for a while now since I was considering the A7C. I've compared a lot of photos the past year and yes, the FF definitely has a better low light performance and bokeh. But looking at it from the perspective of a casual shooter who just does this on travel/vacation, those advantages are better saved for a professional photographer. 90% (maybe even more) of my photos are gonna end up on my phone/social media anyways and people there will rarely know the difference. Maybe some would end up as my desktop wallpaper but it's not like I couldn't live with a bit of worse bokeh.
Also have to think about the costs. FF body and lenses are so expensive and that's what's primarily keeping me away from switching to it. If I had infinite money then I'd go full frame but the price difference between building your own set of lenses for APS-C vs FF can be used for a lots of other things.
Agree, but depending on the lineup you're running it's not even that expensive (buying used) nor is it heavier
My current apsc lineup is sigma 16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4, Sony 18-105. and I shoot 98 percent of my photos of with the Sigma.
those are 405g, 265g, 427g = 1,096g
possible replacements:
samyang 24 1.8 230g, sony zeiss 55 1.8 281g, sony 24-105 663g = 1,174g
Also thinking about going apsc or ff. Apsc is cheaper, yes. But my question is, will I desire going FF in the future? If thats the case, then investing in FF body and lenses is the way to go. But I dont know if im going to stay satisfied with apsc or there will be time that I want to go ff even if its just for talking heads and capturing family occasions.
I havent bought any camera/lense yet, so I am really thinking of how to start this camera madness 😁. Crop or FF? Any advice? Thanks.
@@DDHDTVhow about the price comparison? Thanks.
@@_thealexm_I started with an a7c, similar in price to apsc. Currently I have the a7c, a6700, if you really want ff try the a7c and then go from there
Agree completely with your comments. I have both APS-C and FF and when I mix images shot with each in a book or 'slide show' no one can tell the difference or cares! I think we as photographers create stories in our heads that FF look is soo much dreamier and we'd be missing out if we shoot APS-C. So while yes FF can create more shallow depth of field look, if you shoot faster lenses with APS-C you will get a VERY similar look. I find it really about lenses like the 85mm f1.4 and 135mm f1.8 that make those bokehlish images. Those lenses would give you gorgeous images with an A6700 body
A few years ago I searched for my next cam, to replace my old Canon 1300D.
At first, the a6000 series catched my attention, but i wanted something more premium and that would’ve been the 6600.
At that price point, it seemed more reasonable to switch to the a7iii.
By now i love my 7iii but sometimes, when i pick up a an apsc, i really really love the fact, that it’s so small an compact.
just feels like a slightly bigger phone
I have a APS-C (samsung nx 1100 if anyone knows that camera) and i think i couldn't go bigger then micro four-thirds. I like to have a light and small camera that i can take everywhere and not have to worry if i have enough space for everything as i dont have a camera bag yet.
hows the ibis walking and videotaping?
With all these upgrades the A7Cii bout to be a real gamechanger!
Mmmm, I am still using a6500. Should I upgrade to this ??
I have a APS-C (Fuji XT-4) and I'm very happy with my Camera, I also real love the full frame look
Why did no review hqve low light shots?
I shoot a lot in the night and dark rooms.
Been waiting for an APSC sensor which matches FF low light performance. So that it's the same just with a crop.
I have apsc camera canon EOS M5 but i'll switch to sony As7 mark 2
I need the 4k
I have the Sony A1 and 400 GM and am mainly a wildlife photographer. The results are wonderful, but I have ordered the new A6700 to use with the 70-350 G lens as a lightweight setup for wildlife photography, such as for when I want to go lightweight on foot. The difference in weight is huge, 1kg against 4kg.
And cost too! Not to mention, you can actually walk around with that combo vs an A1 with 400mm.
Thanks for sharing. I am considering the same, but Im a bit apprehansive because I'm worried that I'll just end up lugging my big lens around anyway out of fomo. Are you happy with your choice so far?
I have an a6400 and an a6000 both amazing, especially the a6400 pics, videos,low light every light...it's a monster!
I have the same combo! It`s super duper. My daughter uses the a6000 and we share lenses and accessories. I’m looking forward, that maybe the a6400 will be much more cheaper and I buy and upgrade for her 🙂,
Bonjour Pierre,
Hello Pierre, Its nice to have a photographer's point of vue. But this test is laking of low light images. Maybe this camera with it's 11 images burst would interest photographers on a budget willing to do some indoor sport photography ?
Been thinking of upgrading for awhile to Full-Frame and I currently own the a6600. I think it makes sense to wait until Q3-Q4 of this year until a7C Mark II is released to determine if I want to stay APS-C or move to Full-Frame. The a7C Mark II will most likely have the same sensor from the a7 IV with 33mp over 26mp in the a6700. The downside I see is that the 33mp sensor can only do 4K 60fps vs 4K 120fps in the a6700.
Any updates?
What will be price please reply soon
How horrible is the lcd screen and is the overheating really that bad?
Need it for music concerts
Hi Pierre, I am currently using an APS-C sensor Camera and i'm happy with it. But i won't rule out getting a Full Frame sensor Camera in the future. The images from the Sony A6700 are really nice and crisp with great colour. Sony have a great reputation for developing great Autofocus. Like the flip screen tilt it's good for selfies. This Camera is all you need if you shoot with an APS-C. It's a worthy camera to consider for us APS-C users. Thank you.
I still use the old A5100 for street photography - does the job!
Looking for an “always in my bag” camera and I think this is it, matched with my Sony 24mm 2.8.
I've been shooting NEX-6 APS-C since 2012 and love the size since I'm on my feet 2 hours at a shoot.
I have been using Fullframe for 6 years and now using Fujifilm XT4, the gap between Fullframe and Crop is not too far
As a stills photographer to me there is a huge gap still. I wish to try the a6700 but the a6600 and older have terrible image quality.
There is a gap but I wouldn't say a huge gap. Micro 4/3 for example still competes with FF in all areas except for low light. It's about finding the right aps-c camera and this is close to perfect. I'm selling my Fuji after shooting with the a6700.
Currently have an A7iv but thinking about moving to this. Had a A6500 and loved that so guessing I'll love this even more!
Exactly! I am keeping my Sony 24mm GM f1.4, sold my A74, and going to get two Sony A6700 cameras (light weight, have a backup body, etc.) - pair this with something like the Sony 11mm f1.8, Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and the Sony 70-350 G lens and you can tackle anything with lower weight. Compare this to the A74, with something wide, something like the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 and Sony 100-400 GM our something on the telephoto and you are spending more, with more weight, etc.
Can be we using this camera to take wedding photography?
A Full Frame camera would be more ideal for wedding photography
New camera in my wish list
Awesome Video! hi Beginner wanting to film informative ballet videos & vlogs. Is this camera what i need?
Can i go for it,??
What about hitting issue?
I started out with the sony a6000 and kit lens about around when it was released i have had it since then still use it, then upgraded to a sony a6600 both are great i so like the upgrades of the a6600 but do go back to my 6000, for me i was going to go full frame but i do like the depth of field i get that would be equal to a big full frame lens, there are for sure the benefits of both full and apsc, i am product photographer so use lights an flashes that help, maybe one day ill go full frame but till then im pretty satisfied
I have a Sony a6000. i love it
I have a Sony A6400 but I am thinking about upgrading to the Sony A7IV in December
Nikon D3400 would be great if you give a photography review of this camera although it is a very old model but my favorite.
Been using the a6400 for about 16 months and I love the camera but I plan to either go a7 IV or a7 V when ever it releases
Just ordered the ZV-E10 and Tamron 11-20mm for getting into vlogging. Already have a A7 IV with 16-35 GM but for vlogging it’s to heavy for me so I was looking for a lighter combo. Now the 6700 is announced and I’m not sure if I should get this instead of the ZV-E10. Huge plus is the IBIS I think but I heard you can get done a lot of stabilization through Catalyst Browse.
What do you guys think?
i have the tamron 11-20mm and is a great and sharp lens. if you are starting I would suggest you sitck to the zv-e10 while you are learning. later down the line you can upgrade. I have been using the a6000 for almost 4 years now and it has been what It made me progress much more in the photography world
@@corderophotography thank you for your answer and I think you’re right! Received the E10 and I’m super satisfied for what I bought it so far :) super lightweight compared to the A7 IV and the Tamron is a really good lens!
Hi Pierre, i started photography 3/4 months ago with a old700d and now i wanna get a new camera and i would like to have your opinion, sony a6400 or Canon R10? whot do you think i should get for Photography? oh i also considered the sony Alpha A7 II but ithink i prefere the aps-c for now!!! its hard to chose! love you videos keep the great work.
What did you pick? The canon has less lens availability
i use two a1 for the paid stuff. but maybe this thing would be great for action with the kids or some pics during an mtb ride and stuff like that. love the a1 with the 50 1.2 for example but simply dont want to carry it around all day. apsc with 16mm pancake sounds like fun
Since in Kenya photography hasn't grown that much I have a Canon 800d APS-C sensor 😊
dude im rocking gx80 with micro 4/3 and i love it
Im using the a6400 but I like the sony RX 1 Rii with its small form and full frame capabilities
APSC .. Lens size and prices
i have apsc camera canon eos m3 but i want to switch to sony
I have a Sony a6300. I would like to upgrade but I have 3 apsc lenses. Might upgrade to Sony a6700. Is it worth buying it ?
I just did this two days ago. I have the Sony 10-18, 18-105 f4 and the sigma 18-50 2.8 and the sigma 30 1.4.
Video and autofocus and such make it an amazing upgrade; I think photo will vastly improve if I improve the glass to full frame equivalents in some degree
When will they release a camera without a film option. There are so many photographers who just take pictures. And then the step is also made faster to buy a new device. Now it's to expensive to upgrade my gear 😢
As a hybrid mostly video shooter this is the upgrade ive been waiting for. The upgrade to video and the more quality of life things for photo are exactly what I need. Due to both weigh and mu workflow, Ive never felt to the push to go full frame. Many of the full frame features like dual cards slots are nice to haves but im not going to miss them. That being said im also not a professional
I'm not a photographer, i bought a6700 a couple months ago, before I was taking memories with gopro 4-9-10. A6700 gave me a lot of fun.
I have a7rv. And a6700 with tamron 17-70/2.8 A6700 is perfect for traveling and everyday wear.
hi, I had a APS-C camera sony a6300, and so I bought it 6700
I shoot full frame for work, micro 4/3rds for side work. Im not a fan of a cropped sensor to say the least.
Apsc all the way, except for ultra wide stuff, portraits and weddings where you use a deeper bokeh and astro, there is no advantage in getting a full frame and to carry a load of 10kg in ff lenses in my bag is just too much for me 😁 I have a6000 with 3 lenses and seriously thinking about getting this one, in would be finally a real upgrade for the money 😍
I started out on the a6000 and then went full frame, with the a6400 as a travel camera, I love the lightweight and crop factor of the camera, and use it in combination with my a7c , which is a great camera too!
The new a7000 autofocus is tempting! ❤
Would you choose between the a6700 or the a7c, that’s where I’m currently looking at with the price point.
@@someguy3595 that’s kinda hard, the new AI in the a700 is tempting, but the a7c is lightweight and always produces really beautiful photos with good depth of field, probably the a7c…I use for all my paid photography jobs…i heard they are coming out new Mark ii, I think.
May I know what made you switch to full frame? I am about to start my camera madness and I want to do it the right way, as I dont want to invest in lenses and decide to switch later - which will be more expensive.
@@_thealexm_ hi! I use my FF camera for photography jobs, I like the a7c best the resolution and image quality is beautiful but the file sizes aren’t massive-so they edit quickly! I use my crop sensor Sony for travel and casual photography-I love using my full frame Sony lenses on my crop, so whenever I get a new lens, I know I can use it across my cameras…I just don’t use my crop lenses on my FF
@@katelynchef6146 thanks. So a7c is that gooooood? Im waiting for a7c ii.. then will decide if its gomma be a6700 or the a7c ii. What do you think?
Since I prefer video, I kinda want the fx30. I hear of overheating on the a6700. If the FX30 had ai features or the a6700 had a fan, I'd be sold on either.
I have a Sony A7R3. That was an upgrade from the A6000. If I upgrade again I like the idea of the A7CR, small formfactor but still full frame.
i got the sony zve 10 and i love it. and i would love to own the 6700.
The answer to full frame or APS-C is: APS-C with speedbooster. Quality of FF, size of APS-C.
Does anyone know of a wrist strap for cameras preferably under 20$ that they would recommend?
shoelaces should do the job :D
Peak Design, but that's definitely more than 20$. Still worth it!
APS-C camera i have two eosM , XT10
I am torn between a7iv and a6700 because full frame is bigger sensor so better low light performance but I would lose 70mm of focal length on my Tamron 35-150 and with me doing sports photography that is something I can't consider ligthly. But the fact that a6700 seems like a really well rounded camera and it costs substantially less than the a7iv makes so right now I am more geard towards the a6700
maybe you can try it for a. few day and see how you feel?
@@Pierretlambert I will probably be looking for such an opportunity once the camera comes out
As an a6500 user, I can tell you the best you can do is get the a6700 and buy also a speedbooster so you can have FF capabilities when needed, but still get the APS-C weight and size most of the time.
get the a7cr
I have an a7R5 which is essentially an apsc camera and a FF camera in one.
The perfect travel camera.
It`s all about budget and/or weight/bulk... For me (just bought the A6700, and Sigma 18-50 2,8), and it`s a pure joy to carry around such a small, lightweight, and really high performing, package! The equivalent full frame package is much more expensive and heavier/bulkier. My opinion!😀
I own an a6300, I don't mind and it is good for my needs, of course I would like a full frame camera, but I think it is too much for my use.
I am interested for the new a6700 I think I will keep an eye on it
Went from A6300 to a7c and I would do it again. Fast running kids, in the dark, around the Christmas tree, no problem. The viewfinder is the only bad thing.
@@kz2682 the viewfinder is the flaw in these "compact" cameras
I’m buying it as a long overdue replacement to my backup camera the Sony A6000. To me the new BSI sensor, the AI autofocus and ergonomic improvement in the front dial, new menu and full touchscreen makes it a worthy upgrade. I would buy this over the discounted A6600 for those reasons. I’m glad the Sony held down the price to USD $1398. Sure, they could have added a much improved LCD and viewfinder and added a joystick or a second SD card slot but that would have increased the price. I already have a full frame Sony camera and appreciate that the A6700 complements that by being lighter, more compact and cheaper. We have many choices in cameras today…to me I have my cellphone with me at all times. I use an RX100 to take with me for hiking and backpacking. I can see the A6700 being handing for that purpose as well especially when paired with a small APSC prime. It’s also useful to me as a B camera and will be probably be my choice of camera when want to travel light or do street photography. I can see using it for wildlife photography as well, extending the range of my modest but lighter 100-400mm lens. As good as a full frame camera is…it is probably my least used camera. I’m perfectly happy with my A7RII for landscape photography. I don’t need the latest and greatest autofocus for that purpose. There’s something to be said about an updated light, compact hybrid camera that can do photography and video well. It’s a camera that I look forward to putting inside my EDC sling and have with me more times than my full frame camera. The A6700 fits the bill for me. I’m not going to stress and compare it to the Canon or Fuji competition. I’m perfectly happy in the Sony ecosystem as I have a good collection of full frame and some APSC lenses. I’m happy that Sony finally made it worth it for me to upgrade my trusty A6000 in 2023 before that camera wears out. My trusty Sony A6000 and A7RII were breakthrough cameras that convinced me to switch to mirrorless. They have served me well…so well that it was hard to justify replacing them….so the A6700 has some big shoes to fill.
I have a7rv and new a6700 and is it great combo. Fantastic autofocus and with prime lens 1.4 and 1.8 very nice photos.
Apsc every day of the week. We need moreapsc for wildlife
I am using 6600 and to be honest APS-C are really good in terms of crop shot you don't need to spend much time post photoshoot. However FF definitely is a much more better in terms of landscape photography. Also I like the flip screen feature of 6700 which was missing in 6600.
I bought an X-S20 a day before the A6700 was released and now I'm torn, should I keep it or get the Sony.
The things swaying me to the Sony are no crop in 4k60 / FHD240p (why add a crop Fuji!), much better video AF, catalyst (for some awesome post processing options), weather sealing (I don't film in the rain but got rained on several times and was scared for my X-S10), 4K120p (even with the huge crop), higher ISO range (better in low light?), the ISO for SLOG3 Is 800 instead of 1250 on the Fuji FLOG2 (less noisy video?), amazing in body fixes for lens breathing and other lens defects (can't find any info on in body fixed on the Fuji?), I'm finding the exact same lenses are 20-30% cheaper in E-mount vs X-mount.
The things swaying me to the Fuji is the open gate 6.2k (great for instagram and UA-cam cropping), no overheating in video, better IBIS (on paper anyway, I can't find a side by side test), 4k60 USB webcam (single USB cable for power / external recording with film sims, very cool!), better LCD screen, joystick is super handy, fuji colours and film simulations are awesome to have, some unique great lenses, many years of meaningful firmware updates (Sony are notorious for neglecting cameras after release).
I'm very torn! - Any thoughts? :)
I am now an a6400 user and interested in moving to Fuji, the xs20 is the best choice in my opinion, the colors and sharp image quality I have seen on the xh2, do you think the quality is the same as the xh2, and the issue of overheat is it safe so far especially the video documentation? does xs20 have better picture quality than sony?
Did you get the a6700 and if so do you still like it ?
Left Sony FF for Fuji APS-C a few weeks ago. Loving my new X-T5. Vastly more fun to use and very comparable image quality. Only downside for me is a the 1.5x hit to the DOF. But with their 1.4 lenses it’s not toooo bad. Worth it.
Same story. Appeal, shooting experience. Sold both my A7iv’s and very happy with the X-T5’s! Literally a few weeks ago 😉
That's interesting, I'm on Fuji right now and I've been disappointed with the video specs of my X-S10. I bought an X-S20 and the video autofocus still leaves a lot to be desired, I still cannot move my focus point to an object and ask the camera to track it in video, only in photo more. It feels very dated.
So now I'm thinking to send that back and get an A6700, but I am conflicted.

@@DigiDriftZone Fuji has definitely the edge when it comes to usability. It's simply more fun and engaging to use, from their design to their features, while the Sony cameras are technical powerhouses but feel more like a tool. That said, it really comes down to your priorities. For photo I would grab a Fuji any day, but if you're more interested in video recording, raw quality and a sliiiightly cheaper price, investing on a Sony camera is probably the way to go.
@@DigiDriftZonedid you decide? I’m in exact same decision point currently on XT2. Photo hobbyist. XS20 or XT5 vs A6700. That Sony AF-c eye tracking so tempting. Extra front dial finally I think completes the exposure triangle manual controls.
nice video, love them I would buy a aps-c camera in fact I would buy sony a6000 it really good for photography!!!!
I have a a6000. I love it butttt......... i was looking at one of the r line cameras for better image quality and low light performance.
LOVE APSC
Using a R50
I still use my only sony a6000 for my street photography
Nice camera, but the small evf is a no-go.
FINALLLLLLY
Finally what, they keep treating their APSC cameras like toys. I still use my 6000 for street photography. It does the job and it's 24 megapixels. I can find a reason to upgrade to this one. I getting the LEICA Q3, and I have an A73. This camera is a letdown. Im sorry but it should have been more megapixels for cropping.
This is agonizing. Nikon FF to Fuji X-T5 to MFT GX9. I’ve loved the GX9, it has a higher res screen and VF than A6700! But mft is too cropped.
I’m interested in the Sony for its AF, video tech, and size. Even X-T5 felt big.
But it’s all about printing. Aside from DOF differences, would one be satisfied with 20x30 out of APS-c? I Love the form factor of the A-series(although as a still shooter I like a flip screen better). The size, weight and cost of lenses for full frame is nearly a deal breaker. The question for me is print quality a deal breaker?
And the need to use the screen rather than joysticks buttons would totally annoy me. Then there is the poor resolution of both the LCD and EVF. Shame as I had high hopes for this - but I am out until the 6800!
I have an a6000 and an a6700. The a6700 is amazing!
I have an APS-C camera
I have full frame and Apsc cameras.
