Sony has released two cameras that have received a lot of attention. First is the ZV-E10, and then came the a6700. All I can say is 'wow.' This camera checks almost every block a photographer/videographer wants and needs. From using it since it was released, it has proven to be excellent in video and exceptional in stills. The A74, which I sold, couldn't beat the a6700 in photography. And I did a lot of pixel peeping just to see if the A74 was a better camera. The a6700 proved to be better than the A74. The a6700 is keeping my A7R3 company, both happy campers, doing what they are designed to do.
I use both the A7iv and the A6700 with the 70-200 f2.8 GM2 for photos only, shooting mostly runners. Definition with the A7iv is better. When focus is correct, if you zoom in the picture is sharp until it pixelates. It is not as good with the A6700. The A6700 autofocus is slightly better but cannot be considered reliable. For both camera is seems to perform well for smooth movements like surfing or long jump, but running is a problem. Automatic white balance is tremendously improved with the A6700. I'm going to sell both when the A9iii and the R5ii are available.
@benoittissier58 in image performance there is some difference between apsc and full frame. For photos I have always likes full frame since it gives a sharp but not over sharpened look. With autofocus - I would consider a6700 reliable since any other camera I have ever used feels pretty sloppy when using wide AF area, and this camera is the first one that is not confused and is usable using that mode. Using other more specific AF areas will result in better performances. A bug downside I believe is no joystick for sports photography
@@matiss.skujins I've been using spot tracking modes only with the A6700 since my experience with wide area on the A7iv has been terrible. I've also had repeated failures with the A6700. I have yet to try the non tracking smaller areas. On the A6700, the Dpad is the joystick : press the center button and you can move your focus area, press the center button again and you can use the Dpad functions.
Suprised on the quality content you provide. This chanel is underrated. Keep up good work! Still hesitant whether I should go full frame with such fantastic offering as a6700.
Thank you brother, much appreciated! To be honest it really depends if you find yourself in low light situations a lot. If you do - full frame, no questions about it. But if you don't - I seriously would recommend this camera. Full frame is a safe option, but at a cost.
Man you are amazing amazing amazing!!! You are so knowledgeable, your editing (as a whole) is really great, your way speaking is great (and humor too). So underrated! Permanent subscriber🌟
@@matiss.skujins For now i only have the dedication part 😂 yesterday and today has only been about basic photography stuff and tomorrow I'll start with videos.
Amazing video. To the point. I would love to see a vlog with sony a6700 with wide lens. Maybe you walking in your city grabbing coffee with sony a6700. Also does it overheat ?
I will keep that in mind as a video idea! Also the overheating has never been an issue for me. Have never even seen the overheating symbol as of right now!
Awesome vid! Ty for the effort! Love this camera it’s my first good one and I feel spoiled not knowing fully the improvements etc from what it was before lol
This is by far my favorite Sony A6xxx camera and also the best APS-C camera available today. If Fuji has better AF it would be a tighter competition, but as it stands Sony is light years better. All lenses are sharper. The only thing Fuji has is bdtter colors without having to post process and better stabilization.
Although I have not extensively used fuji, in my opinion it is just a different camera. Fuji is a really fun camera for hobbyists but I find sony to deliver more consistency. I do love the fuji lenses, they’re quite good looking and innovative. But I would still pick sony for my use case
@@matiss.skujins yeah I have one Fuji left- the XH1. That's seems more than the newer stuff. They are fun but I can't fully rely on it for events or paid stuff, but if I feel that way then I should steer clear because even for personal stuff, unless it's landscape then you cannot always retake the pictures.
It is a fun lens. It's very fun to shoot portraits with it, but sometimes when I want to shoot landscape and it's the only lens I have on me it really tests your creativity because of the tight focal length @@matiss.skujins
The autofocus and lenses choices definitely make it good for entry / mid range wedding photography, but if you do it seriously - I would consider investing in a full frame like a7 iii / a7 iv with a 24-70 f2.8 zoom. That combo will get you through all the weddings and afterwards you can invest in other products that creatively express you!
been using the A6700 since release I find the lowlight performance to be ok. Not on par with FF but it still not bad at all. Especially with AI nowadays so noise isnt really an issue and I typically dont go over 3200 and I do not find any instances where I need anything beyond that too.
The low light isnt really anything impressive, its average at best. I would love to see something low light oriented in sony apsc, that would be the dream
This video motivates me even more to finally get my first Sony Alpha! How does A6300 compare to this A6700? Good job and amazing video! I cant wait to see more epic clips from you!
Thank u brother for the feedback!! Well they have a lot of similarities in photo department, but the video is where a6700 shines. It will deliver higher quality videos with better autofocus, better colors, ibis, longer battery life and better rolling shutter. However even with all these upgrades, for most users who just want to record 4k and take photos - both cameras share similar build quality and similar results for most daily cases. Id say that a6700 is a perfected a6300, but the a6300 is still no slouch and is a good stepping stone to get into cameras. You can get the a6300 used, pair it with good lenses over time and then when you’re ready - get the a6700 (might even drop in price when you do)
I got this the other week witht he 16mm - 50mm kit lense. I wish they had of shipped a charger like you said. I got my first camera a few years ago (Canon 90d) with a kit lense extra battery bag and a charger with it lol
I’m really surprised that it didn’t come with a charger. For the price, I would think that would be basic. Not everyone has several cameras and chargers just sitting around.
Exactly my thoughts. As i understand - only the top range full frame cameras come with a charger like the FX3 and A7RV which I find crazy. Also the fact that Sony does not sell an official dual battery charger makes me sad.
Can you please tell us how do you feel coming back from Panasonic to Sony? I am thinking moving from sony apsc to panasonic s5 II and wondering if is it worth it? Especially I miss ability to shoot with good stabilization with right shutter which you cannot effectively achieve in Sony
Well actually I still own my Panasonic since it is so good at those things. I believe they excel at two different types of work and you just have to decide what do you do more. Are you slow and careful and thoughtful about your shots or do you run and gun? I believe sony is good at running and running and I have always used my Panasonic for more thought out shots.
Hi bro I am really confused between sony a7iii and a6700. I am really confused between these two and I will be using sigma 50mm f1.4 lens. Plz gave me a good answer
It truly depends on what you plan on doing. A7 III is one of my favourite photography cameras of all time, but the video is a bit outdated if you plan on doing professional work. A6700 is so good for video but struggles with noise when doing photography, especially in low light!
@kiwiikiwii9036 not at all. Size of camera literally has 0 impact on the picture quality. Sensor size on the other hand - bigger size usually means better low light capabilities. But sports is usually captured better with apsc (smaller sensors) since it has more reach and faster readout
I picked up a Sony 15mm f1.4 which I have really fell in love with, and then just now I got the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 delivered also! Both of them I would absolutely recommend!
Personally I was never a huge fan of the zv-e10 since it is just an a6400/a6300 in a different body with some software updates. It is definitely a capable camera for a good price. However a6700 is on a different level - it can compete with cameras way beyond its price and I grab it over my full frame very often.
@@matiss.skujins wow really ? I shoot cars and motorcycles a lot on my channel. Been using the Zv -e10 a lot recently . But I’m going deeper and would like to add the 6700. My lenses are the sigma 16mm and 30mm f1.2
@@matiss.skujins yes mostly videos but am going into street photography as well and planes .. so thinking .. what do you reckon ? So far am enjoying my Zv -E10 though just was thinking of an upgrade
I really don’t want to be an influence when it comes to your upgrade. If you feel like you are being limited by your camera - sure, get an upgrade! But If it is serving you well, then maybe look into to some lenses
The A7C II only makes sense if you also want to buy smaller lenses which usually are not the fastest. If you already have some bigger lenses you might be looking at - I would rather choose the a7IV. If small is what you are looking for - a6700 offers that with its lens selection.
@@matiss.skujins I hear that but the 55mm Zeiss, the 20mm f1.8 sony and 28-75mm Tamron are all quite small and not that expensive. I don't know how different f1.4 on apsc and f1.8 on ff are though. I am finding the decision very hard.
@alexthemle ive used all of those lenses before and they truly are light and medium size. If your budget allows you to - the a7C ii with those lenses will be more universal and will give you better results than the a6700. If you however find yourself in a more budget section - a6700 is great in that regard! Also f1.8 on ff and f1.4 on apsc are about the same in bokeh department, but f1.4 will always on any system be better at light gathering than f1.8
@@matiss.skujins honestly I'll try to figure out the budget. I can get the a6700 with the 3 sigma trio for 2400, whereas the a7c II with the Tamron is already 2815, and then with the 55 is 3200.
@alexthemle exactly! Go over the numbers, watch some videos, do not rush it - it is a big investment! I have to say - I made some of my best work with the 28-75 f2.8 tamron and a 24mm sigma on full frame… so I can’t not recommend it!

Should I get a7iii or a6700 for sports photography?
i'm also very much enjoying my a6700 with an 56mm sigma f1.4
I’m curious about the 56mm f1.4, sounds like a fun lens for the a6700 especially with the improved AF
It is a fun lens. It's very fun to shoot portraits with it, but sometimes when I want to shoot landscape and it's the only lens I have on me it really tests your creativity because of the tight focal length @@matiss.skujins

That would be my ND filter
