Sony A6700 Hands-On Photo and Video Review

[@wanhazim6129]

One of the best camera reviewer ❤, others 90% show only their face not what the camera can do.

[@UrbaneVisions]

I'm new to your channel and this is the second video I watched. First was your review on the A7C. And I love your style of review. It's very.... inclusive. In the sense of a lot of KZbin tech reviewers look at lower priced tech and constantly just default to saying "Buy the one that's $1000 more because it has more features". But instead of making videos that are primarily about what a camera CAN'T do because of its price point, you make it about the value that you DO get at it's price. Everybody isn't trying to spend $3K+ on a camera and the reality is most people (including some professionals) don't NEED a camera at that level yet (I said yet lol). But I love that you actually really use the camera and show your work in detail. I think what needs to be considered in all reviews is the skill of the photographer making the review. Because that's very relevant. Nonetheless, great review and I look forward to more of your work. Subbed.

[@mottavisuals]

Thank you! I feel the exact same about some of the reviews I´ve seen on this camera.

I for one am glad they are making the on/off switch more difficult to trigger - I have been using their cameras for a while now and usually carry them quite densely packed in a very compact bag (billingham hadley small). Too often have I got my camera out just to find the battery entirely drained because its been accidently on all day. Its gotten so bad I have started carrying my batteries outside of my camera bodies to prevent them accidently switching on.

[@butchgo8930]

When the weight of my bulky DSLRs with bulging heads bore on me I switched to Sony’s a6xxx compact series. Now, I’m in my mid-seventies and had long shelved DSLRs. No longer keen on changing lens, I’m now using Sony RX100 series and looking forward for the release of the RX100 VIII.

The Active Steadyshot looks as nice as we have seen it on the ZV-E1 and I think that this is very nice to see.

Internal mic sounds really good. I really like it and also 4k 100p buttery smooth slo motion for cinematics

Thank for the review! It would have been nice to see the camera paired up with the aps c lenses rather than the full frame! Thanks anyway for the video!

[@juliatrotti]

For the AF tests during photo and video I used the APSC G 15mm f1.4. Unfortunately it didn’t arrive in time for my photoshoot though which is why I used my own lenses. I have another APSC lens with me now, so I’m thinking of doing another photoshoot with it!

Julia, I am with you about the IP ratings! Come on Sony, be a leader in this regard!!!

[@voiotv]

Congratulations on your video. I didn't hear a comment about overheating in the video (the big disadvantage of this camera unfortunately..) 4K by force 20-30 minutes. The 6400 produces video without a problem for more than an hour (the battery is running out and the indicator does not produce) The main reason (personally) that prevents me from buying it

[@sidha22]

I have this and if u take 4k 60 fps at 200mbps than max 30min and it will shut down. But if u go 4k 4.2.2 10bit at 100mbps, no heating shutdown. Record as long u want

[@Sodacake]

finally some practical examples rather than just talking about specs!

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Julia! Thanks for making it.

[@allisonreber5857]

Thank you for this really detailed review 👍

[@ZangLussuria]

Always great seeing your reviews and natural light shooting. At the pricepoint and positioning, I wish it had dual card slots. They could have put the 2nd one in the battery compartment. A lot of DSLR "prosumer/enthusiast" bodies had dual slots as there were pros and enthusiasts that do paid shoots on an APS-C system. With the improvemnet in sensor tech and body capabilities on morrorless vs DSLR, I wish at least the flagship APS-C bodies had dual card slots.

[@JosefFoti]

Being a full frame shooter, I can say this is a very nice little camera that I could imagine using for street photography and travel. The main downside being it has a flippy screen as in street photography, I would prefer to have the screen in the same axis I'm photographing and also not having to flip the screen out would make me more inconspicuous in the streets. On the side not, I have to agree with your appreciation for the 20mm G lens. I recently added it to my kit and I'm very happy I did.

[@tibszabo]

It's strange to hear that the flippy screen is a downside, all the big names of photographers I see in youtube are mindblown about the RV-s flippy screen that finally came. I had a panasonic fz300 and missing that screen sooooooo much, I'd use that feature 100 times a day when I'm doing street photos.

[@richardcousinsmedia3814]

it doesnt have to be flipped out you can rotate it so the screen is facing you and push it back to its original place

[@networm64]

I'm exactly with you about the screen. And also single card slot was the worst decision!

[@JustDisc]

Great review! Just bought the kit, so excited to improve the video on my channel! 🙌

Fabulous review 👌 What do you think of using this camera for videography? Will it face heavy overheating issues?

[@jpeg_moments]

Superb wait is over 😍

[@robertjpayne60]

Okay, I think you have helped me figure everything out! I have the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM and the Sony 200-600mm G OSS lens (currently shoot wildlife) and had a Sony A7III (sold it). I had been debating between moving to APS-C for the lighter weight (especially for travel). I am looking forward to the official announcement of the Sony A7Cii next week. I really want to have two camera and as a hobbyist, would consider myself a hybrid shooter. So, I could get the Sony A6700 now, and then add the Sony A7Cii when released. I could then get the 50mm F1.4 GM (which would be 75mm equiv on the A6700), and maybe either the Sony 11mm f1.8 or the Sony 15mm f1.4 (for wide on the app-c). I would think the color science would be about the same on the two cameras as they would both have some tech as they were released close together in time!

[@Cthames123]

Interested to hear what you did. Did you get the A6700 and the A7C ii?

[@robertjpayne60]

@@Cthames123 I got the Sony a7c ii to go along with my a74. Same color profile which is nice! I am using the a7c ii for lightweight travel.

[@stuartmills9512]

Good video - thanks. I'm enjoying the A6700, I think it's a great camera. My one 'wish' (which agrees with your comment) is that the on/off switch be re-positioned to where it's located on the other Sony cameras.

[@julianmclean3869]

Many thanks for sharing Julia, shots speak for themselves however the video where your cat was "touching" your hand (with his / hers!!) paw is priceless!!!

[@i8910midnight]

my pulse dropped when you said 759 which i thought was the price, then after a few miliseconds, i crashed to find that you were talking about af points. the flickness of the off/on switch is better since one can't accidentally flip it.

Great review Julia! The only thing preventing me from pulling the trigger is if the AutomFraming works with HDMI out. If I understand it well, all your picture in picture images that showed how AF was working…must've been taken with HDMI, tight? But I'm wondering if this would work in a livestream when I plug the HDMI into the CamLink and go live… Thanks if anybody can confirm this

[@williamsolis1]

I was just hoping for Opengate video :( also the same EVF isn't a good thing. Using the a7iv. It's hard to go back to something smaller Just would have liked the A1 equivalent in apsc where they don't hold back

[@MrFloris]

If you were to get a daily driver for artsy looking photography and video, maybe especially low light conditions. Would this be that camera to go with, or would you recommend something else? I am not really looking for a budget solution. I am looking for a good solution.

[@sKyyyFir3]

Getting an IP rating for weather sealing would be awesome - very good idea! i gues we all would appreciate it more not be left with guessing.

[@RiposteThis]

Only one interchangeable lens camera has an IP rating.

[@Rocky_KO]

Camera companies will avoid putting IP rating to not be liable for warranty claims.

Thank you for this perceptive, clear, concise and comprehensive review! Question about colors: Do find that you prefer the skin tones of Canon or Nikon vs the newest Sony cameras?

Doesn't really matter if shooting RAW as you can edit it in post. For jpg, yes. But you do have a fair amount of profiles control on jpg as well.

[@chloescanlon1107]

Yay, it’s nice to see that Sony has imposed the damn side hinged selfie screen on us. A tilt screen is so much better. I really don’t want to have to reach over with my left hand, pull out, twist and re-align every time I want to shoot low or high. Then I have to look left away from the axis of the lens constantly as I’m shooting. Then if I want to continue using the screen I have to leave it sticking out to the side which isn’t just inconvenient it also tells everyone you’re shooting. It’s not discreet. Then I’d have to repeat all of the above again and again when I want to place it back in place. The tilt… it’s so much quicker, literally a finger flick and it’s behind the camera constantly. It’s discreet, fast and unobtrusive. Why do camera manufacturers think all we do is vlog or take selfies? I’ve shot around 500 weddings and events now and do you know what… I’ve never once had to shoot myself.

[@rsmith02]

Being able to move the screen to the side is very helpful for gimbals and shoulder mounts.

[@krishnastock]

A7Rv! Best solution for screen placement!

[@chosenideahandle]

Oh dear, Sony is imposing what most people want... evil Sony! You're also complaining about a camera that's not for your work, so it's probably not surprising you've never had to shoot yourself.

Hi Julia, I'm interested to know your thoughts on using G Master lenses on the A6700, do you think the image quality is that much better than any other APS-C lenses? I have the Sigma 23mm f1.4 plus a Tamron 17-70 but I'm really tempted with this 35mm 1.4 GM.

[@tyncam24]

Thanks for an awesome review, what would you recommend as a starter lens for the a6700 primarily photos/videos for traveling (landscapes/portrait).

Amazing video. Can you make review on Sigma 85 1.4 DG DN for sony? I would love to see what you can create with it ❤️

[@ginotizon2052]

That's a chonky cat 😻 Love it! ❤️

[@user-ck8sz3ti4r]

Curious on your thoughts for beginners who have no Sony or Fuji lenses. Which one you'd recommend more, the a6700 or X-S20 for mostly photography? Thank you in advance!

[@david_corns]

Same here: I'm in exactly this position, coming from a Canon DSLR.

[@alanbio]

Sony has an amazing set of 3rd party lenses for their APSC line. Most of them with OSS and autofocus enabled, since sony authorized those companies to produce these lenses. Sigma, Tamron and others. I have an @6400 and have a couple of Sony Lenses but I use a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 which is so incredibly sharp, that I basically use it 80% of the time.

[@martin9933]

Can´t believe they just gave it one card slot! I wanted it as second body to my a7IV for weddings. But with only one card slot for weddings it could only serve as 3rd body and for that it´s too expensive. Too bad, I was really looking forward to this camera. But thanks for the great (as always) video!

[@martin9933]

@@MonicaHolly143 FX30 is a strongly video centric camera, can´t even shoot AF-C as far as I know. For taking photos (+video) at a wedding the FX30 wouldn´t work at all. Sony has released a ton of great video centric cameras lately, but not so much for hybrid ot photography first shooters, unfotunately.

Great review..... but it's super disappointing that Sony did not including a second card slot, closing shutter during lens changes, and better quality screens. I would gladly pay a bit more for these features... Unfortunately, we still don't have a professional camera in their line to compete with Fuji. 👎👎
