At last… the Sony a6700

I find it amusing how most folks talk about Sony APS-C imaging as entry level, beginner cameras but when talking about Fuji cameras, that doesn't come up. in most cases, one can put images shot with an asp-c camera along side images shot with FF cameras and in a blind test they would be hard to pick which was which. I have both. The smaller set-ups with lenses are very appealing on the aps-c side and IQ is excellent. Yes in low light FF is better but with DeNoising apps that difference has become less of an issue.

I have had the sonya6000 for many years and love it, even with its faults, because of the small size and grip (I have small hands). I have recently started doing more macro photography, and the fact that Sony is finally adding focus bracketing to the a6700 could make a big difference to me, although it doesn’t quite compete with the in camera focus stacking on Olympus. Thank you for the video, I really enjoyed the clear explanation ☺️

Just bought your presets. So excited to use them! Thank you.

For a hybrid camera (photo/video) I'd prefer a screen hinge system that's less flashy/gets attention (for street photo/street capture) and also is aligned with the lens versus with a swivel out screen you have the screen to the side and out if you want to tilt it. Sony had a couple screen hinge solutions like this before (Sony DSLR Alpha).

Great, in-depth video as always sir. Thank you.😊

Great review, as always!!! I'd like to add a word of encouragement to anyone just getting into photography and wondering if APS-C cameras are good enough to go past hobbyist. The answer is a resounding yes! I've been shooting professionally since the 80s and have followed the digital tech curve through all its iterations. A couple of years ago I switched from one brand of DSLRs (which I was so heavily invested in you wouldn't believe it) to Sony mirrorless APS-C. (And yes, I kept some primo full-frame DSLR stuff for limited studio and landscape work). I now shoot almost exclusively Sony crop-sensor bodies and I'm loving the smaller, more portable tech. I shoot commercial, product, and lifestyle photography for my clients and they've never been happier with the results. In fact, they don't care what the heck I'm shooting as long as I give them the eye-popping creativity they want. They never even ask. Would I love dual card slots and a better EVF and the other FF bells and whistles? Sure. (And FYI, I haven't had a single SD card failure in 15 years of digital work...although I still would love two slots.) Will I get Sony FF bodies in the future? Of course, I love gear as much as anyone and this is how I make my living (and I would not call it an upgrade...it's just different). But does it really matter? Nope. Not. One. Bit. So get any darn camera you want and hone your craft. You can do it for fun or make a good living. Go for it!

I've seen so many reviews on this A6700. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Focus Bracketing capabilities. The flip out screen combined with this has me sold. I'll be selling my A6600 for sure.

Love your reviews ever since you did the RX100 review with your video audio rig work-around. That was brilliant. 😊

Thanks Ted ….. on the strength of your review on A6700 - I bought the body (as an update to my ‘original’ A6000 from back in the day!) from Amazon UK! Yours and couple of others are really objective technical information in your narrative - really appreciated! With viewfinder issue - I got use to it by using A6000 over the years, but not a dealbreaker for me! Indeed, as I am now 72 and getting the ‘old age jitters’ handholding - IBIS on A6700 is first class! Many thanks again, Ted! By the way ….. excellent videos with thought provoking subjects! Cheers or ‘Later!’ 😂

I had the old Sony NEX-5 which had the Fda-Ev1S Electronic Viewfinder available (wasn't cheap) that was nice because you could flip it up to aid in low level photography.

Great review. I bought this a6700. Uploaded 4k videos. Great camera.

Thank you for your in depth review, love this camera. I fine the Viewfinder clear and bright enough. People complained about a6600 and earlier not having fully articulated screen - now a6700 does:)! But some not happy with the viewfinder. Have used the camera in bright and overcast conditions, viewfinder fine and provides good opportunities for composition. APSC awesome size, loaded with features, AI offering Subject recognition, AF nails the shot easily. Happy shooting.

Wish the a6700 came out a few years ago. Would have been easier to justify upgrading from my Nikon D3300. But now that my main subjects are graduating high school and I have fewer years of softball & field hockey to shoot... hard to pull the trigger. Still, that itch is mighty hard to ignore!

Using professionally some Hasselblads (H6D_400 and X2D), but for the other moments I love the Leica Q2 for it's lightweight, compact form and especially the outstanding lens performance... but it's 'only' a wide angle. Looking at this a6700 with this lens, I was wondering how is lens performing. Could you please share your thoughts about it. Thanks

You didn't mention that they did improve the cup on the EVF. As someone who doesn't chase cameras and tends to keep mine for many years, the EVF is fine. I've taken my best photos with lower res EVFs. Yet being able to shoot better in bright light without having to use your hand to cup block the sun is an improvement.

I think you are right, make an accessory viewfinder . Canon had the finder for the M6 mk2, sony could do that very easily. That lense is very interesting. I can see myself getting that combo just for everyday fun. Very interesting indeed. Thanks great video.

Nice vid thanks! Subbed.

I own both the a6400 and the Fujifilm XT5. Fujifilm provides more features and better LCD/EVF. I think that this a6000 lineup is more for photographers than videographers and they should really pay attention to the details like making a better EVF. It's a good upgrade from the a6400 but from a photographer's perspective not a huge upgrade. The good video features and AI autofocus is more for professional work than the majority of the users who will buy the a6700. The best hybrid camera now is the Fujifilm XS20. I wouldn't upgrade if I had a Sony APSC (a6400/a6600). I would upgrade to the Sony alpha full-frame cameras. That's a more obvious upgrade in terms of image quality for stills.

Does this camera over hit? when you shoot 4k 30 or 4k 60 , how long we can shoot with 6700
