The fact that you’re comparing an APSc vs a FF camera is a testament to how good the 6700 is

[@kingghidorah8106]

well, it's great but severely limited. If Sony releases a firmware that lets it use the full mechanical shutter up to 1/8000 then it will be the best camera there.

[@themoodyphotographer59]

I shot with Nikon for almost 40 years but recently switched to Sony. I bought both the A7IV for my landscapes and the A6700 for wildlife and macros. I do occasionally use the A7IV for wildlife too. Great video!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

great setup!!

[@trimonmusic]

Something to be mindful of is the cashback and offers available at time of purchase. In the UK (so it may differ by region), there are the following: - For the A7IV, there is currently a £300 Summer Cashback, dropping the price to £2100 from £2400. If you're a student, you can also get an additional 10% off the camera, dropping the price down to £1860. - For the A6700, there is no cashback, but the student discount applies bring the price from £1449 to £1304. You can also get £250 off each of 4 lenses (10-20mm PZ, 15mm f/1.4, 70-350mm, 16-55mm f/2.8), PLUS the "Welcome to Alpha" cashback (£100 off 3 qualifying lenses following each Alpha camera you purchase, including the new A6700) and the Summer Cashback and the student discount. I was able to pick up the A6700, 16-55mm f/2.8, 10-20mm PZ and 15mm f/1.4 for a total £2400 after all discounts and cashbacks are applied (reduced from £4000). Be sure to have a look for these in your region, you might be able to save yourself an arm and a limb!

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!! A6700 is my choice! I'm too old to carry heavy stuff...

[@AzmiReza]

Thanks Mark! I’m making an upgrade from A6500, the thing is I own the apsc sigma trio plus the sigma 18-50. At first thought of jumping to a7iv but it seems a very huge leap. Now I’m considering to make smaller jump and give out a try for the A6700. We’ll see about it then. Thanks again your video gave so much help!

[@olegvorkunov5400]

The verdict is in. I took A6700 on my Portugal and Spain trip with lenses: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, Sony 16-35mm F/4, and Sony 20mm F/1.8. Firmware 1.01. With all lenses, eye Autofocus pointed to an eye, but all pictures were out of focus when cropping in. I had the same problems with other APS-C Sony cameras such as A6000 and A6500. Low light is a complete failure. Anything greater than ISO 1600 is getting color noise and light noise. Colors are starting to shift. The noise level at ISO 1600 is the same as on A7IV's ISO 12500. The absence of closed curtains when changing lenses produced "dirty" pictures, even though I used an air blower to clean between changing lenses. I never had this issue with A7IV. The viewfinder is terrible. Even though I set it to a high refresh rate, while making the video and monitoring it in the viewfinder, the video looked choppy, like at 15fps. Another issue was that sometimes the camera failed to power up when I flipped the switch, and I had to do it multiple times. I wanted to like this camera but I am returning the A6700 and I will continue to use the A7IV for trips even though it is slightly heavier.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Can’t say I’ve had the same experiences, but it sounds like the A7iv is the camera for you. Thanks for the info, I will keep an eye out to see if others have the same issues

[@gordon3988]

It will be interesting to see a comparison of the new Fuji XS 20. Vs the 6700 as they will likely be two main competitors. Likely a no brainer for those already invested in either brand, both are good each with their own respective strengths. Though reviewed separately I saw Cameralabs gave the Fuji a rare ‘highly recommended’ and the Sony ‘recommended’ (A74 was highly recommended). As Gordon says often though ‘your mileage may vary’. Another great video Mark! Btw…I tended to prefer the 6700 in the early comparisons, just looked a bit more realistic to me, though that alley is amazing regardless.

[@TechWandererYT]

I'd very much love to see the comparison. Open Gate and Fuji Colors/Simulations vs Weather Sealing and Incredible Autofocus

[@charlesbetito]

Great video, Mark!!! The A6700 seems truly excellent. It's a remarkable machine not only for those creating content on social media but also for certain professional tasks. Now, why on earth didn't SONY make the ALPHA 7IV capable of shooting in 4k 60p without any cropping or even up to 4k 120p? Cheaper cameras with smaller sensors can already achieve that. And we're not talking about an entry-level camera here. Perhaps it's time for SONY to consider updating some of their cameras?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Different cameras have different sensors and processors and limitations. So the a7iv is 33mp and full frame, and in order to get over sampled sharp 4k60, they couldn’t use the whole sensor because the readout speed is too slow. So instead of line skipping or pixel binning like in some Canon’s who do full with 4k60, they opted for the crop in the sensor. But 4k120 was likely not doable at all

[@rickt.8866]

I love my Sony A7 IV for pro work, full frame is amazing. I did order the 6700 which will be used with all my FE GM glass for wildlife and street stuff.

[@Jsmith1611]

ty for starting with image quality

[@SilatShooter]

Agreed that the A6700 is a better value and as a total 'system' much less expensive and smaller to live with. I also agree that the A7IV is the better camera, especially if you're a more serious shooter. The larger form factor, viewfinder, ports, dual card slots, higher resolution all make for a better shooting experience. Casual shooters or shooter on a budget can't go wrong with the A6700. It's a beast of a camera in a small form factor. Having said that, I would also pick the A7IV over the A7CII for the same reasons. Plus bigger FF lenses aren't going to handle well on the A7C II like they would on an A7IV (IMHO).

[@tomdemeo2708]

Since i have aps c lenses and size for travel is important to me I’m going with 6700. I have been shooting 6000 waiting for sony to come out with a camera like this. I almost went a7III to upgrade years ago but glad I waited as all new full frame glass is expensive for a hobby and travel.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thank you so much for this video, great comparison of the pluses for each one. I happen to be rally a full frame shooter for a long time and already own the A7IV( along with some higher end Sony A7Rx and A1 body) but for small size I’ve been using the A7C. I know A rumored update of that has been talked about but the A6700 really appears to be better even though I rarely shoot video. I do have my bigger Sony GM lenses but also the Sigma I-Series small primes that I think may translate to APS-C well, I.e. 24->36, 35->52.5, 50->75, etc… so I think I’m covered and they are not that large. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@11shs11]

As usual, another excellent video Mark!👍 I’d love to see a low light comparison of the A6400/A6600 vs A6700. I love my A6400 and trying to decide whether the upgrade to the A6700 is worth it for Astro and nightscapes. I’ll wait for the A7Cii for an upgrade decision, but already having the Sony 18-135, Tamron 11-20, Sony 11 & 15 and Sigma 18-50 lenses makes the jump to FF a tough justification for a hobbyist. After the kit lens, I blame you for emptying out my wallet.😂

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you won't see a noticeable improvement in lowlight with the a6700 for astro and night-caps - but you will see a big improvement with full frame. You can consider getting a used a7iii or a7c for what you're shooting (ir wait for a sale - Sony just had the a7iii $500 off - I'm sure they'll do it again)

[@11shs11]

Great comparison! Regarding your question: in a situation when the camera is a source of my income I would choose A7IV... but I am "home photographer" so definitely size and cost of A6700 is more appealing for me. Most probably I will upgrade my A6600 to A6700 in a later time.

[@pianopotato]

Just a note of caution, overheating can be very unpredictable. I have never had any overheating issues with my Sony A7IV up until last weekend. I shoot student music exam videos. My typical use case is on a tripod, screen flipped out, temp setting high. Usually, I fiddle around with the camera for 10-15 minutes to setup basic lighting and then I record in 4k XAVC S 10 bit 422 (2 cards backup recording) in bursts of anywhere from 5-10 minutes each. Repeat at most 3-4 times. This most recent time, the camera was on for around an hour. And I was in indoors, it's winter over here so the house heating was on but nothing that was alarmingly warmer than it should have been. Fairly large room too, plenty of air flow. The camera showed the overheat warning at around the hour mark and it freaked me out! I took out the battery (genuine Sony) which was about 35-40% at this stage and replaced with a new one. This seemed to fix things and so I continued without issue for another 10-15 minutes to finish the recording. All good in the end but it was a somewhat nervous and unpleasant experience towards the end.

Just the video I was looking for. The EVF on the A7IV is what I have come to love. I don’t like it on the side. The full frame shallow depth of field is tricky to get used to coming from APSC. I keep getting one person in focus but not the other without stopping down.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - sometimes it’s harder to get more than one person in focus with those shallower depth of field. You end up stopping down to f4 or more

Great video. From a low light perspective, I see that the A6700 sensor is no better or even worse than the old APS-C sensor from the A6500 I had in the past. I am about to receive A6700 and would have to decide what I would take on my vacation to Europe: A7IV or A6700. Weight is a strong factor here. I want it to be light, but, for a day I have, before I leave on my trip, of testing between the two I would have to make a decision and either return A6700 with Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 or take it on my trip. A7IV with Sigma 28-70 f2.8 - 1129g FF vs A6700 with Sigma 18-55 f2.8 - 783g APSC. Difference will be felt after the whole day of walking and shooting on a gimbal. SInce I have AdBlocker, so I am not sure if you receive any commissions after I watch your videos. So, sending you my thanks.

Hey, Mark! Great video as usual!! There is a question I have regarding the a6700 that I couldnt find the answer anywhere… Do you know if I use the Hdmi out (to a monitor for example) if it loses the face/eye detection autofocus? i know in the FX30 it retains the face AF… As it has a full sized HDMI, I wanted to know if the a6700 works the same with its micro HDMI. 😅

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yup - eye detect still works in all frame rates and codecs using hdmi

[@KPGuitarStudios]

A6700 does seem the better choice from a cost perspective but the A7IV is a banger. Looks like I'll end up with an E-M1 mk II, OM-5 and OM-1 :P

[@daveN2MXX]

2:15 Sorry, saying that a 16mm 1.4 becomes a 24mm 2.1 on a crop sensor is misleading and incorrect. It becomes a 24mm 1.4 on a crop sensor. The reason the DOF is changed is because you have to reposition the camera further away to achieve the same photo with a crop camera. It is the repositioning of the camera which changes the DOF. In fact, an image from a16mm 1.4 on a crop camera will look EXACTLY like an image from a 24mm 1.4 on a full frame camera.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

sure - but that doesn’t help people understand that if you stand in the same spot with an apsc camera with a 16mm 1.4 that it will look equivalent to standing in the same spot with a 24mm f2.1 in terms of field of view and depth of field. You say a 16mm 1.4 looks exactly like a 24mm 1.4 on a full frame - well, the background will be much blurrier on the full frame standing in the same spot and it’s not helpful to tell people, that it’s because the sensor size relative to distance of the subject makes the 1.4 look like a 2.1.

[@Mandelrot]

For a similar price and forgetting for a moment all the extra features, if we consider only the image quality straight out of the camera (PP0, no post)... Would you say the full frame A7C sensor and the 6700 APS-C sensor will give similar results in normal light conditions (indoors/studio)? Most of those new features are not really important for me and I'm just interested about getting the best quality for this price range.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If you don’t plan to do any colour grading they will give a similar image with PPOFF. The issue will be lenses. You can get a sigma 16mm 1.4 (what I shot this video with) for $350. To get a full frame version of that will be much more expensive. So your total cost with the a6700 and a good lens is $1750. That will be closer to $2500 for the A7C and a good lens

[@pf4773]

Truly when is the last time you saw someone walking around with a camera body like either of these!? Our cells now probably account for 99% of the photography taking place. That said I love cameras for the (usually) better image quality. I have the Sony a6700. For travelers it's a no-brainer: the A6700 has the smaller size body, smaller size lenses, and lighter weight. I can pack everything I need: camera body, 70-350mm lens, 18-135mm lens----and that's it except for a few filters and the batteries. All of this fits in a tiny one strap bag. I also bring the RX100 vii or the Olympus TG-6 (not 7) if I'm going to be doing more rugged activities. Again, even though I have the a 6700 it's too big to cart around unless there are exceptional photo opportunities. I'm going on a ski trip and will bring the RX100 vii and the Ollympus TG-6 because these are tiny cameras.

Question about Fstop and exposure between sensors: I’ve heard exposure at F 1.4 is the same regardless of full frame or APSC I notice more light in the full frame. Why do people say the same amount of light for any sensor?

Hi, great video defo subscribing! However I mainly want to do cool professional videography and photography on people as well as sports photography and videography for social media content mainly!! Im not in the landscape photography/videography field, so is the a6700 a good choice for that as I can’t really afford the a7iv. But I’m sure I will upgrade to Sony a7iv once I can afford that!! Also for photoshoots wouldn’t an external flashlight such as the godox v1 do the trick in low lighting on the a6700 or does the low lighting issue just really apply when it comes to doing videos which I can get around by adding more external lighting? Hopefully you can answer my questions, again great video!!

I'm going to wait for A7C mark 2 and see how I feel. If it's too expensive, i'll just keep my EV-Z10. It has very good autofocus already. The only thing I'm missing is wide angle sharp lens for APS-C. My dad is giving me his Leica X1, so maybe that will be my wide angle lens.

Hey Mark, thank you. I really appreciate your videos. I've been giving the a6700 vs A7IV a good think. I've been shooting with the a6300 for a number of years and I'm getting close to upgrading. I have a fair amount of apsc glass, but it's tempting to make the leap up to full frame (I went on vacation and took in the range of 12K pics, but under pressure, I often struggled to get sharpest focus with wildlife with the a6300). By the time one factors in the $1300 CAD of the A7IV over the a6700 *and* getting new lenses, it's a lot of cheddar. It also feels like the A7IV, as good as it is, is getting just a bit long in the tooth compared to its competitors (Canon R6II, Fuji X-HS2), i.e. cropped 4K60. Still a great camera and the focus is great. But I wonder if it's better to wait some months for the A7CII (is rumored to have similar or even better specs to the A7IV) or a direct successor to the A7IV.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - the rumours of the a7cii are around so if you can, you might as well wait to see if it happens

[@befankaaa]

Hey Mark, appreciate your video a lot thanks. On 3:24 you compared 6700 4k60p vs a7IV 4k60 which is supposed to be a cropped sensor size the same like 6700, and then we need to multiply again both the Focal length and aperture by 1.5. But the question is why do we still get shallower DOF (more bokeh on the backgroud), when this is supposed to be the same when using cropped FF sensor area? Does that mean that 6700 also crops at even smaller area of its sensors and do not oversample from its full APC-S coverage?

Hi bro, i didnt use lense camera yet, but with in fue day i learn lot....so my question is....i start with bigneer, but with in couple of days...im going to be a professional.....so which would i chose....A6700 or A7IV

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The a6700 is one of the few cameras that is still on my radar for a 2nd camera. Even though I am interested in the "soon-to-be-announced" A7Cii, it's hard to look past the a6700 when it's priced at $1,398 USD. I'm betting the A7Cii will be priced closer to the FX30. The only question that remains is, which kidney can I sacrifice to the Sony Gods?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If it does come - I think it’ll be priced at $2300. Total guess - but it’ll be closer to the a7iv in price than fx30. But I have been wrong before. Maybe I’ll be wrong again someday

[@AllThingsFilm1]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Actually I think you may be closer to the price point since the A7Cii will be full frame.

[@benoittissier58]

I have the A7iv and I'll probably get the A6700 instead. For sports, the A7iv tracks very well, but focusing is a real issue. The A6700 seems to be a huge improvement with 85% hit rate in the tests (Bernal, Northrup).

[@Eazidosit]

I have no focus issue with A7 IV. What focus area are you using mostly?

[@benoittissier58]

@@Eazidosit Spot tracking, face detect on, AF priority.

[@Eazidosit]

@@benoittissier58 Oh ok, I normaly use wide focus which locks on to the closets to the frame. If it gets crowded and i'm trying to keep focus on a specific person or player like my daughter when playing basketball. i would use spot. Once it locked on it was really rare to miss focus. It was rare for me to miss focus even on my a6400 once i locked on.

[@benoittissier58]

@@Eazidosit Wide area was a disaster, that's why I switched to spot. Tracking is not an issue at all, the green box stays where it should but when you look at the pics on the computer, plenty of them are misfocused. I tried the A6400, it's a bit worse than the A7iv in my general use, but when the subject fills the field of view, it is surprisingly good.

[@Eazidosit]

@@benoittissier58 The A6400 is not better than my A7 iv at focusing. i was just mentioning i was able to pull off good results. Not my experience. Wide normally grabs the closes to the frame on all sony cameras. ayee i guess it happens but when i lock on it normally nails focus on the subjects eye that i locked on to. I also try to time my shots rather than relying on burst mode.

[@valerio_c]

A6700 for my opionion! It’s a beast! the exaggerated use of blur/bokeh on full frame has tired..

[@KayvanCrafted]

@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis Hey Mark. Can A6700 do 4K No crop with H265( or whatever Sony calls it) ? Great job on the comparison video BTW.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes. the XAVC HS codec works in 4K with no crop

[@A.Edilbi]

Can you make a video comparing 8 bit video to 10 bit ? Because I saw no difference at all when I did the comparison. And you make it sounds like a big deal .I am really curious to know what I'm missing out

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

a lot of it has to deal with being able to use slog3 for maximum dynamic range and heavy colour grading. I’ll try to do a video on it soon

[@A.Edilbi]

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yeah I filmed 8 bit clip and 10 bit clip .I applied crazy strong color change .both clips were identical with bannding and everything. I really want to learn how can I take advantage of this 10 bit

[@timgurr1876]

Good comparison. Thanks. I have a a6500 (about 5 years) and I have enjoyed using it. Not perfect, but as an amateur it fits my needs for family and vacation photos. Also, a lot cheaper for camera and lenses than full frame. I looked at upgrading to the a7C but could not justify the expense of going to full frame lenses. I am considering the a6700. It certainly is a big upgrade compared to my a6500. However, I lose the built-in flash (which is handy in lower light situations and I don’t have to carry around a large flash attachment) and I lose the panoramic mode which I use on my annual fishing trips into Canada. I only use jpeg photos and out of the camera videos. So I’m wondering if I should keep my a6500 and invest in more lenses or go for the a6700?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would suggest you do the lenses. still sounds like the a6500 does what you need.

[@shekhar1203]

i had the sony a7iv and i sold it because i'm thinking about buying the sony a6700. this camera is almost the perfect camera for me and so far the ideal camera for me because it's smaller and lighter than the a7iv and i always record in 4k 60fps and with the a7iv i was getting a massive crop but with the a6700 i get no crop and 6k oversampling!!

[@902103462]

are you worried about the image quality between the 2?

[@hamroz1]

But isn’t the a6700 is already a cropped censor no matter at what frame you shoot?

[@shekhar1203]

@@hamroz1 basically i always record in 4k 60fps. with the a7iv i was getting a crop and there was no 7k oversampling (with 4k 30fps you get 7k oversampling). with the a6700 you get a crop if you compare it to a full frame but you get 6k oversampling. it's not only the crop factor but also overall the camera is better for me because is slightly smaller and lighter and it has the ai chip

[@Kamal_Actkins]

Man same. Selling my a7iv and getting a6700 instead. For my uses it’s a better deal.

[@902103462]

@@Kamal_Actkins what’s your use case?

[@smashingfables6307]

I agree, the A6700 is an incredible value. I think its image looks better than the A7iV. That might be the better colours. In terms of low light, yes the A7iV picks up light better, but the image sucks anyways. Get a mini light man!

Such a focus on video. Wasn't expecting that...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

[@unperfectcooking]

So maybe can you advice me what camera body should I upgrade. TLDR; sony a6700 vs sony A7III I'm amateur photographer and I take my camera for travels, family parties and my cooking vlog. I own sony zv-e10 with single lens - sigma 18-50 f2.8. And since last year I fully produced (took much more) 10k images and 5h of video and I'm very happy with my gear. But after this time I decided to upgrade my camera to have some stabilisation build in sensor, weather sealing and some better AF features. In future I'm planing to try some longer range photos to compress background with long focal length. And now I'm split between apsc sony a6700 and full frame sony A7III. They both the same price currently in my country, but FF has some advantages but is more costly and typically much more heavier to carry in backpack. Is it worth for amateur to dive into FF or just stick with apsc? What would you recommend?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that’s really tough, but if it’s photography- it’s nice to have that full frame. the camera body of the a7iii is small, but you’re right, most of the lenses will be bigger. But overall, for photography I would do the A7iii - you will see the biggest difference there.t sounds like you take your photography seriously and there are smaller full frame lenses available if you want them

[@unperfectcooking]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis great, thanks for reply I'll take a look for those lenses and recalculate budget.

[@bhavearth]

waiting for A7C Mark II which will be just in middle of a6700 and a7iv !

[@DK_lma]

Im more thinking of comparing the a6700 vs the a7 iii because cost wise they are more similar. Which one would you say is the better one as a hybrid shooter (more focused on photography tho)?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would say to get the A7C is you’re a hybrid shooter focused on photos that has some video in there

[@crisantogarcia6646]

I’ve been using an old canon rebel to record my Jiu Jitsu matches from the stands and every now and then I get out of focus. Would you be able to review the AI autofocus on constantly moving fast objects? Looking into the a6700.

[@iradhill81]

Which is the best for macro lenses?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The a6700 will give you more reach with the same lenses - so you may prefer that.

which of the two is better for professional streaming ?

The a6700 can stream from usbc so. That’s an advantage. But if your going through a capture card then the A7IV would probably be better

[@sigmarco]

I do sports photography (cyclocross in particular) and landscape photography. I'm undecided whether to continue with my A6700, which I'm very satisfied with, or switch to the 7-4. The 6700 satisfies me, it has phenomenal autofocus and everything else is excellent, but the 7-4 would give me greater creative control with depth of field, greater security thanks to the double memory slot and (maybe?) better ergonomics. I have most of the lenses in full frame format (I had an A7c) and I don't consider it purely an economic issue, but only a question of safety in the photos I take (especially sports ones, since I'm studying to make it a job). I do not know what to do!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

if you want to shoot professionally, the a74 makes a lot of sense. but of course, you would get further reach out of those lenses with the a6700. you can use apsc mode with the A7iv, but you’ll be down to about 14 megapixels

[@sigmarco]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes. it's not a big problem with focal lengths, I've understood in recent months which ones I need and I think I can cover everything even with FF lengths. Thanks for your help!
