[@gbwalther3198]

Full Circle, I'd say. Actually OVERHEATING started with the Sony a6000 and was further refined with the Sony a6500. Once in a great while, exceptions: Sony a6600, the Sony a7siii and the Sony FX30. However, Sony Design Team has decided once and for all: Overheating = Sony's New Moniker. Yes, keep it up boys! Good work done! The ultimate handwarmers! 😎😎

[@rsmith02]

@@gbwalther3198 Overheating was a huge issue with the a6300 and mostly resolved by the a6500 (never experienced it). a6600 is even more power efficient and I never had issues with it even with the brighter screen.

Wow, youre the first one that said it has heating problems that I've seen! An honest review and a very thorough testing than other reviewers! Thank you so much! I guess I stick to my GH6 or get the FX30. Good job. Greatly appriciated! Thanks man!

[@aberkankorkmaz]

I had recorded so many wedding films with Sony a6300, Sony a6500, A7III and never had an issue with overheating even in summer. I do not understand one thing; Why would I take 15 min of 4K 60p video without stopping. I always tell couples to create a scene, they do it and I take a 5-10 sec of shot and stop recording that's it. By doing so, camera never overheats and battery consumption is reduced. For the wedding ceremony, which is done in evenings in my country, I just take camera to 4k 25p and take it a long footage. For dancing and partying I take several slow-motion shots like 5-10 seconds, so no overheat. IMO, a6700 it is pretty much usable for wedding films and I will go for it!

[@JaredJulian24]

GREAT review! its interesting the other reviewers don't have these extreme overheat issues. Please keep this channel updated on this ! id like to know as I film in Florida and its demoralizingly hot here !

Great camera. I wonder if there are any differences between this and FX30 in terms of color. Even though it's the same sensor, sometimes Sony tweaks the color.

[@James-qo7uz]

I saw a post from B&H about this camera announcement today, and I was hoping to see a review on it soon. And here it is. It looked so promising as a new main camera for me and a solid future B roll camera, my current main camera is the 6600 which has not overheated on me but i shoot 1080p. The overheating issue is rather concerning though. I wonder if it overheats shooting at 1080ho outside. I might just be better off future proofing myself with the fx30. I also do some photo gigs too, so I liked the idea of an upgrade to both photo and video.

[@GuitarRJP]

Matt, I watch your channel, even though I don't film weddings, because of your clear explanations that allow me to really see what fits for me. I had used Sony FF cameras before (A73, A7C, etc.) but found that only having one camera at a time and big, heavy, expensive lenses (sometimes you can get 3rd party), meant that my travel setup was sometimes stuck leaving lots of lenses at home. The only thing I have left from my FF days is the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM and the Sony 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS (I have always shot wildlife, birds, etc.) - no cameras. I have done probably 90% photos in the past. Now, I am retiring at the end of the year and have somewhere around $5000-7000 to build out a kit. Prior to the FF stuff, I did have the Sony A6400 and eventually the Sony A6600 (sold them when I went FF). I want to start shooting more video stuff (we will be doing lots of traveling as well as just stuff around the neighborhood. I want two camera, but don't know if I want them both to be the same thing, or have two different but same platform. I am debating between 2 Sony A6700s, or 1 A6700 and 1 FX30. Lens options are numerous: Sony 11mm 1.8, Sony 15mm 1.4, Sigma 23mm F1.4 (though I would keep my Sony 24mm F1.4 GM), Sigma 30mm 1.4, Sigma 56mm 1.4, Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 and Sigma 18-50 f2.8, Sony 16-55mm f2.8, Sony 70-350mm 4.5-6.3. Tons of choices! I don't do any vlogging and don't see myself starting, so quality lenses for both video and photos is where I want to go! 15mm f1.4, keep the 24mm GM, Sigma 18-50, Sony 70-350mm ---- then get two bodies. How does this sound? Should I get the A6700 for walk around hybrid and FX30 to learn about more video features? Thanks!

[@whoismatt]

I think a6700 and fx30 are a great combo!

[@mortenbolarsen]

[@mex5341]

As a second/third camera this will be ok! I still sometimes use my a6500 on weddings in Mexico , 90F , direct sun , and camera has never overheated even during 30+ mins long ceremony.

[@AlexKim-po5lx]

Hi, Matt. You always shoot interesting videos. Tell me, I bought a Sony a7r 5, which lens is better to buy for shooting videos and photos. Fixes or zoom. 24-105 is, 85 Sigma, it is worth buying a high-power Sony 24-70mm GMII lens. I dreamed about this when I was Canon. Or Buy 70-200?

[@MattyDCCollins]

Matt have you tried updating the firmware? and if so did you yield better results?

[@UrbaneVisions]

In the overheating conversation, I would want to know how the A6700 would fare in similar conditions with 1080p at 60fps, 30fps and 24fps. I think that's also very relevant because a lot of ppl still shoot long projects in 1080 because of file size and the quality is still good. Maybe that can be a future video.

[@catalin-ap]

Nope, on Sony the 1080p is cr*ppy. If you want 1080p you either go Panasonic S5, GH6, Fujifilm X-S10, or others. Or, at most, Sony full-frame, A7 III and other. 1080p on any Sony APS-C is an upsampled, soft mess of 720p detail at most. And, of course, you can shoot probably 20 hours of 1080p with no overheat, due to the lack of oversampling in 1080p.

[@AlexanderBischof]

1080p is not the standard any more - a 2023 camera has to record flawlessly in 4K

[@xWood4000]

​@@catalin-apThe a6700 actually has a lot better 1080p than before although it's seemingly a bit soft based on Gordon Laings tests

[@rsmith02]

I wonder if 8-bit has a benefit as well- drop back to say Cine 2 8 bit 4:2:0 and reduce the heat?

[@CPASStudios]

@@AlexanderBischof that’s actually a hilarious comment considering most people take that 4K footage and upload it to Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok which will down res it 720 or worst. 1080 is still more than fine in 2023

[@nightdonutstudio]

Price is good. I was expecting same price as fx30. but no dual sd card is not expected. Overheating is expected for me. As my a7iv overheat in 4k60 but I have not encount overheat at 4k24p. I think you can still use it for long recording with 4k 24p.

[@jefferson.castillo]

Fantastic work sir! Question: Will a firmware update fix this issue?

[@loganhillmedia]

the overheating is really only a problem depending on where you live/where you are shooting. For example I live in Northern Oregon (USA) and it stays pretty cool there year round, except for July and August. Even when its super hot out it takes a lot of processing for long periods of time for the heat to be a problem, this is for me though. REMEMBER, it depends on your usage as well as where you are at.

[@user-ne3zr9er1h]

with an external recorder like the ninja v, would it help the overheating issue?

[@hav6301]

I'm really digging this camera, I also noticed the A7sII and then a6300 thing, and I was expecting this camera to be launched within the first year from the A7sIII release. It's been three years though, then I saw the fx30 and thought "that was it!" however, not quite, this is. Im rather interesting in filming good 1080p instead of 4k. I've noticed so many cameras had great 4k (or higher) video recording, but if you were to shoot in 1080p they sucked, didn't offer good bit rates and compressions. How is the 1080p in this one?

[@francissosing]

Pretty impressive camera with all the bells and whistles that make a7sIII and A1 owners cry, but not reliable for professional use. I agree with your recommendations. Thanks for this! Is there any way to assist you in your shoots?

[@flat-out]

I would use it too(A6700) for an upcoming weddings I'll film in 2024. Reviewers are just too spoiled and whiny about any camera limitations. Work around it you're a pro we're human we can adapt and innovate whatever tools we have.

[@jonicolton]

hi matt! from wedding vid persect... is cine ei preferable to what you've worked with in past? 🎥💃🕺

[@Victor-Rojas]

My two cents. If a camera has any video features - especially ones that are decent quality like 10-bit 422, they need an internal fan. It's just common sense. I own the FX30 and work out of Miami (very hot and humid) and the FX30 has not failed me yet on any outdoor shoots.

I just filmed my first wedding on my a6700 and during the ceremony I filmed for about 10 minutes. It’s important for me not to stop recording in case there is an epic moment (which there was) that I could miss. My camera started overheating and I was freaking out, but luckily I was prepared with my external Ulanzi fan that cooled it down quickly!!! Saved my shot

[@thunderstruck560]

Matt keepin it real for us texas wedding filmmakers. The fx30 seems better in every way.

[@skysavvydrone]

Hey Matt, great video as always. I have the FX30...and everything you said about it is true, and certainly is a better choice for more critical video work (which I realize is how you use your cameras in the field). One thing that is important to point out, however, for those that may not be familiar with either camera: The a6700 is a viable choice for actual photography, and while the FX30 can certainly take photos, it is a video-first camera. It has no viewfinder, and lacks many of the common features found on a true hybrid camera that attempts to equally prioritize photography and video. While I use my FX30 for photos, I'm annoyed the entire time that I'm doing that...the a6700 definitely does a better job in support of both photography and videography. Just my 2 cents!

[@AlexKim-po5lx]

Please tell me the lens for the wedding is the most basic.

[@KenToney]

I got the a6700 wit a Smallrig cage and have the ECM-M1 mic that fits in the shoe of camera. Do you know of anyway to get the Atomos Ninja 5 on it without disturbing the mic? Thanks

[@catalin-ap]

The Sony a5100 and a7C (and ZV-E1) have the single side door for the card.

[@antiseth3964]

This does sound like the true successor to the a6300. I used to have two of those, and juggling which camera was recording and which was cooling off from overheating when filming a ceremony was a waking nightmare. The lack of dual card slots, full HDMI port, and overheating shouldn’t necessarily be taken as bad points though. The reality is that this camera was designed with hobbyists in mind, so I don’t really think those are flaws so much as normal design considerations. If you are truly a pro videographer/filmmaker, the FX30 is an obvious choice over this. It’s not much more expensive, and it’s essentially a more robust version of this camera designed for working professionals, and the price tag corresponds to the extra beef on it, so to speak.

[@marcoromanzetti7488]

The perfect camera would be a FX30 Mark II with the new AI processor, a viewfinder and mechanical shutter, essentially getting the best features of both the FX30 and the 6700 and making it easier for us to choose without any headaches and compromises😅

[@JoshSCG]

I was just about to make the final decision and get the A6700. But I’m in TX as well and the overheating issue really just put the stop to the preorder purchase.. I do Real Estate Videography (60 FPS) and Travel Videos as well. Might just order the FX30 right now instead.

Are there any cameras at this price point that have a built-in fan ?

[@uptildawnltd3253]

If they aren’t gonna put a fan inside the camera itself, it would be super cool if there was a “cinema” attachment that would go on the body, it could take over some of the processing power and reduce the overall amount of heat, kind of like a battery grip that unlocks more recording.

[@SewTubular]

@@uptildawnltd3253 Sony wants you to buy their higher end cameras, so the fan was left out on purpose. I think the no EVF is a big deal too, as it's hard to shoot in bright sunlight without a 2500+ nit screen to guide you.

[@motebike]

The Fuji XS20 is the new kid on the compact APS-C block. It records for the full 45 minutes, allowed by the camera, in 6.2K Open Gate, without a sweat. That tells you the rest of the story.. Did I say it also records RAW with an external recorder?. A6700: dead on arrival. For Sony fans, you better wait for the A7C II.

fuji has shitty Lowlight performance and Autofocus, I would use Panasonics over them but Sony has a vast of lenses so Sony it is. A7cii has crop on 4k60p. Similar to a7iv so all in all the release of a7c2 made a7iv obsolette for video.

I would never use a camera as a pro videographer that did not have cooling (risking time outs) or a dual memory card slot...and I LOVE the SONY A6000 series, and will be ordering the A6700. Why? Because I'm not a pro and I plan on using the video for only short bursts and will, in the case of running into exceptional circumstances, have an external drive in the field into which I'll save the data. These smaller APSC cameras just are not pro level for a business. Again, I love small and lightweight, and as a traveler I would never use full frame. But as a Pro? Heck yes, why? It's your career! I would put UP with the hassle of larger and nerdy camera bodies/lenses BECAUSE I want the best images, blow up print capabilities, and rugged durability of a pro level camera.

Hello, everyone. I am in the process of launching a KZbin channel and am currently in the market for a new camera. I have narrowed my choices down to two models: the Sony a6700 and the Sony FX30. The FX30 has several advantages over the a6700, including no heating issues, a full-size HDMI port, and the fact that it is part of Sony's Cinema Line, which is known for its reliability. While the a6700 is more affordable, I am concerned about its heating issues and the fact that it is not as reliable as the FX30. My primary use for the camera will be for static shots, similar to those taken with the Sony a7s3, as well as some B-roll footage. I understand that the FX30 is a significant investment, but I am confident that it will be worth it in the long run. I have already created several videos using the Pro mode on my Samsung S24 Ultra and a GoPro 12, but I believe that either the FX30 or the a6700 would be a significant upgrade for me.

Fuji X-S20 is the way better video camera: 6K 30fps OPEN GATE, 4K 60 etc. 10bit 4:2:2, available additional fan, better display

[@exogendesign4582]

Try it on a gimbal see if it performs better on Autofocus and Lowlight and you'd be disappointed, try looking for a real world review first before being bought on video specs.

[@joptoyochannel]

Sony a6400 can recording all day and make movies without overheating

[@keenstore5392]

try to use it in your studio

[@WidescreenContent]

that 1400 hundred dollar recording sound sketch haha. Also testes the a6700 in 4k@60fps in around 80° and it recorded for over an hour. Stil not sure why it works sometimes and sometimes not. Maybe its because of a different codec or sd card

[@whoismatt]

Yeah looks like it recorded longer for other people 🤷‍♂️ not sure why but I will say texas is pretty dang hot 😂

[@WidescreenContent]

@@whoismatt did you enable high heat option in the menu?

[@whoismatt]

@@WidescreenContent yes, made sure that was on.

[@earthytone]

@@whoismatti like that you tested in hot weather cos the other reviews don't! This is realistic real world for many of us 😊

Why consider any APSC camera for a PRO WEDDING/Pro ANYTHING photographer :)!!! These little cameras will have slightly less image quality and aren't built for a PRO use! But since 95-99% of photography/videography is by enthusiasts/amateurs, size and weight DO matter :). Try carrying around double the size of an APSC camera (full frame body plus full frame lenses) as you travel internationally!

[@whoismatt]

APS-C FX30 would like a word with you

[@Bermudaoficial]

Lately wony is making ovens and toasters

[@user-sh8op2ku3c]

It is clear that there is a race for survival, here just like in the arms race

[@Scorge120]

Damnit why does Sony do this this camera would be perfect if it didn't overheat so fast

[@tsizzle]

Just save your money and wait for the A7CII.

[@mambiproductions8960]

Over Heating No Bueno :(

[@SabkaFilmPhotography]

How DUMB is Sony for not including a fan🙄🙄🙄

[@navpreetsingh8156]

Too risky sadly, 4k 50 has become the standard (for me anyway) and it wont last, these cameras can not last in a Sikh or hindu wedding, that being said outdoors in the warmth sony cameras struggle to capture a english civil wedding

[@ereceeme]

Until the heating issue is addressed Ill keep my a6600.

[@user-sw6wm7kh1q]

That said, 95-97% of ALL camera buyers are NOT pros! AND SIZE/WEIGHT MATTER hugely :)! The Sony A6700/Sony A6600 is the best form factor compared to the Fuji and Canon camera bodies AS WELL AS THE LENSES when attached.

[@onurkayikci1001]

I have an a6000 and was waiting for this product to update to an affordable hybrid sony camera. It is a shame that they bring a product to the market with overheating issues. Sony really needs to rethink about their product strategy. For apsc fans, i recommend you to have a look at Fuji cameras, they are better than sony in photography and have some decent video features with no overheating issues. XS20 is affordable and if you have cash, go for xh2s! It is the best apsc camera, has a stack sensor and can record 120p as well. I will but order now a lumix s5ii 😊 I now that it is not cheap, but it has great value with a FF sensor, I believe that it will be a good investment.

[@ereceeme]

fx30 no evf = no good for me

[@truthseeker6804]

Panasonic s5ii

[@hayabusaTravels]

Still... it's to expensive for what it is: a heater fot those cold days in autum. $1100 would have been a better price for it. The price is not impresive once you realize that 80% of the camera is made of old existing parts from previous A6XXX cameras. Sony must think we're all that stupid! Just imagine what we'll learn once the real users start receiving the camera. Real users = all those who will buy it and not having received the camera in advance. Not sponsored my arse!

[@rsmith02]

I got the a6600 for $200 off just months after it was introduced in 2019. I'd keep an eye out for sales leading up to Black Friday. It solves the biggest issues I have with the a6600 (rolling shutter, lack of 10-bit video recording and only lossy raw compression) so just for that am quite interested in it. I don't really want a total overhaul of the camera as it's a great tool as it is.

[@orlandoricardo2328]

This camera isn't for professional videographer is for beginner and advance imposible to carry fan you can't pay for all toys.
