[@Jonathantuba]

I am mainly a wildlife photographer and have the very best Sony gear in the Alpha 1 and 400 GM F2.8, but decided to get the A6700 with the APSC 70-350 G lens (105-525mm equivalent) as a lightweight walk-around setup - something I can take on business trips, when out with the family, or just out for a walk. I absolutely love this camera, which surprised me as I found the EVF on the A7C unsatisfactory - but somehow that is not worrying me on the A6700 (I no longer have the A7C to compare how the EVF has improved). The image quality and the autofocus is really great and most important it is only a quarter the weight of carrying the full frame setup (1kg against 4kg)

[@DDHDTV]

from the specs, the magnification doubled from the A7C (0,57x) to a6700 (1.04x)

[@womz8203]

⁠@@DDHDTV The A6700's EVF doesn't have double the magnification of the a7c. The 1.07x magnification of the a6700 has a 35mm equivalence of 0.71x i.e. a6700 has 20% larger magnification.

[@siobhanmaguire372]

Would the a6700 be a good camera for a cruising holiday in the carrubean ??

[@Jonathantuba]

@@siobhanmaguire372 it is the camera I would take for such

[@Jason_Hermann]

@Jonathantuba Great points and I totally agree that would be an excellent combination for a light weight wildlife set-up 👍

[@shadowghost_96]

One of the best reviews on this camera. Exactly the type of video average consumers need

[@Kingfisher1]

Thanks Jason! Your Real World Perspective is the most practical review I've seen thus far. I've also watched your other a6700 videos which are excellent as well. I just subscribed.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I absolutely love this lightweight setup. The active stab works well enough that this is basically my dream vlog / travel camera (and streaming)

[@Jason_Hermann]

It really is a fantastic option Mark 👍 A really awesome wildlife camera option with the 1.5x crop and man do I want that 4k/120p and HD 240 slow-motion as well...

[@Hobbies4Hire]

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

[@rickt.8866]

Love my A6700 for a lightweight walk around camera. My main camera is the stellar full frame A7IV with GM glass, it’s no comparison!

[@Jason_Hermann]

I also have the A7iv and it is a beast for sure! Love it :) I kinda want the 4k/120 feature though this camera offers I must admit!

[@Nine.siixxx]

How’s the photo quality diffrence?

[@yenk82]

Do you see any autofocus performance difference between your ILCE-7M4 and ILCE-6700? The latter should be better thanks to the AI chip. The ILCE-7M4 was the perfect hybrid camera before the arrival of the AI chip and the new video settings

[@parmanduke]

Incredible photos and video. That was some impressive stuff

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😎

[@Challenging_Reality]

Very nice review, thanks for the video, helped me a lot for my almost final decision to get it. Cheers

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you and I'm glad the video helped you out :)

[@Benzin0]

Awesome review, the A6700 is exactly what I've been waiting for from Sony. It's about time they updated their flagship APS-C camera! I'll be selling my A6300 and upgrade mostly for the 4K60 & 120.

[@joematiacio3449]

I'm loving mine. Using a FE50mm 2.5G for street/portrait and it's a great lens on the 6700.

[@SwiftySanders]

I have the Sony A6700 and Sony ECM-M1 mic as well. The new sony shotgun mic is freaking amazing. The sound is spectacular. I freaking love it. ❤❤❤ So far I am very happy with my purchase.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah, I was really impressed with the mics sound considering it's odd size and shape compared to what I'm used to seeing anyway ;) Thanks for the comments!

[@luisandradevideo]

How much custs the mic

[@SwiftySanders]

@@luisandradevideo like $300-400US

[@DrDuu]

Great review. I like my A6700 too I’m coming from A6300. I could reach 23min at 27°C, no wind, no direct sun and 4K 60fps 10bit 4:2:2.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you for the kind words and sharing your results! Your recording milage will certainly vary depending on temp, if there is any wind, and how harsh the sun is to your point as I'm sure you know... Also it's worth noting if using the HDMI out for a monitor, and/or using the PD-Power will also heat the camera up faster... All the best, Jay

[@DrELO]

Excellent review; thanks!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks for watching!

[@damienc7303]

Thanks for the iso demonstration. Its exactly what helps me figure if this is a good pick for me. Seems to be a good improvement from the a6500. Still waiting a week to see what the 7ac2 pricing will be, could be a good opportunity to get into the FF world...

[@maddybaliga]

Great video, thanks again. I'm gonna have to upgrade my memory cards. lol I'm limited to 60fps for video at the moment. Took it to the zoo yesterday with the 70-200mm GMII and was blown away at the photos I took. Completely forgot to even shoot any video. lol

[@LoveMTB]

One of the best if not the best 6700 review thank you! 🤘Paired with an zv-e10 for studio this is a great hybrid for field work, slow-mo, pretty much everything else. Smaller and cheaper overall setup than the FF equivalent, and with close enough resulting my opinion especially for online video. Cheers!

Glad you liked it and thank you for the kind words :)

[@LoveMTB]

@@Jason_Hermann Np, keep up the amazing work Jason!

[@paulm8157]

Credible, real world commentary, Jason. Super helpful. YT sites are predicting an A7C2 announcement August 29, so the calculus might change. Jason, the dune buggy speed demon - who knew?😊 Cool weather, eh - you still reside in upstate NY?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Sure do Paul and thanks for the kind words :)

[@yenk82]

Very nice video, I like your accent as well (very clear and easy to understand) I'm thinking to sell my Alpha 6400 to buy the 6700 (the new AI chip and the new menu attract me a lot)

[@onnie1968]

I'm very happy with my 6700, I've not tried it but does the insect and bird work with 3rd party lenses ?

[@joseacarrasm]

I feel like I want one after seeing your video

[@tats8445]

If the image is great at iso 6400, I think it’s enough for low light situations used with f1.4 lenses (much cheaper than full frame ones) !

Thank you for this review. one question. Which camera has better focusing system and better dynamic range? Sony a6700 or Canon R8? Do you have experience? Thank you

[@Jason_Hermann]

Well the R8 is a full frame camera so I'm certain it has more, but I honestly do not know how much more....

[@christheflex3184]

Thank you very much Chris :) A6700 User Guide coming soon! I recorded it yesterday, but have a ton of other work I have to do first 👍

[@andyyoon7853]

Hey Jay, thanks for the video. Do You think I can get better continuos auto focus adapting LA-EA5 with A -mount glass. I tried same set up on sony A7IV, LA-EA5 + A mount glass. It was good enough but I just wonder which could be faster? A7 IV or A 6700?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I don’t think it will behave any differently would be my guess

[@andyyoon7853]

Thanks Jay I appreciate it.

[@paolomesseca8679]

Thanks for your review. I remember years ago a video from you about legacy lenses on Nex 6 : how good works IBIS on the A 6700 with old lenses?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks and the sensor stabilization still works great, but you need to dial it in to what the focal length of the lens is when you use it like that.

[@paolomesseca8679]

Thank you very much for answering (the IBIS is a key point for me)@@Jason_Hermann

[@maximvasilyev8003]

As an alternative to a6700, if you do not need 10-bit color and 4k @ 60 and 120 fps, I will rather consider a6600 (which is right now just $998. A7c nice camera, but it push you into the really expensive and heavy domain of FF glass. Also I suspect, that very soon, just after A7c mk ii will became available A7c price will go lower even more.

[@skyhawk21]

Does it overheat?

[@maximvasilyev8003]

@@skyhawk21 Not at all.

[@THISISMARLOWFILMS]

Well those are huge features which absolutely justify the price so I think if someone didn’t need any of that they could easily just get an a6400 for even cheaper

[@AmaraARW]

I would look at the Ulanzi fan which you can currently buy for $20. Small attachment that should give you significantly longer record time. I also didn't originally like the viewfinder in the corner, but overtime I've grown to like it. I do also like how it seems to stick out a little further on the a6700, as it would make it easier to shoot with my left eye compared to my a6400

[@davebcn1]

Just preordered the Ulanzi fan for the A6700 as well. I am bit concerned about how it will be attached. It has some kind of sticker, and the camera can get very hot. Glue + high temperature together are not a good combination.

[@AmaraARW]

@@davebcn1 the pad that sticks on to the back doesn't leave any residue according to Ulanzi

[@davebcn1]

@@AmaraARW I'll believe it when I see it :) Again, this looks promising, and I am even considering mounting it in another way, even if it's not as close to the camera if necessary.

[@AmaraARW]

@@davebcn1 they also mention that it can be attached directly as it has suction cups

[@AprilClayton]

What gimbal do you use? I want one but nervous I won’t figure it out.

[@Jason_Hermann]

The DJI RS 3 Mini: geni.us/aqJ3rx That is what I was using and recommend... Also I have a highly detailed tutorial on that gimbal so don't worry about figuring it out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGofYOKms2Hrs0 All the best, Jay

[@davidnorwich3771]

Just recently upgraded to the 6700 from a 6600. The difference in quality of both stills and video is huge. I kept the 6600 for a time. It is a great camera but using it after using the 6700 it felt like using 2nd best and it's gone now to a new owner.

[@Jason_Hermann]

It's so funny how you say that, because I am feeling the same way about the A7C now that I have the A7C II... 8-bit vs 10-bit video makes a huge difference. Photo wise it's much closer in quality, but I'm considering selling my a6400 for sure and maybe the a7c also since I'm using the a74 in the studio. All 10-bit video cameras now 👍

[@davidnorwich3771]

I had the A7c for a while. I really thought full frame was the way to go for image quality for a long time. Maybe a pro would think otherwise, but I'm just an enthusiastic amatuer and aspc works just fine for my needs. The weight of all the lenses and getting it packed to make carrying it was what eventually made me change my mind.The bigger sensor meant bigger and heavier lenses. Even the smaller A7c body didn't make that much difference when packing a big 600mm zoom. I think the smaller form aspc body and lighter aspc lenses is a good compromise. I think Sony have been very astute in offering us such a high spec aspc camera.@@Jason_Hermann

[@petersterling5334]

A6700 is Incredible really for $1400!! The 4k 120fps and Best AF system from Sony. Plus the IBIS and Really nice Ergonomics with a Deeper Grip than some of the Earlier models. Great Video Jason!

[@werem369]

unusable 4k 120 p for professional purposes and overheating in 4k60p it is a camera for enthusiasts, not professionalists

[@lfisher8154]

New to APSC camera world - Are you using some full frame lenses?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes Full frame E-Mount lenses also work on this camera, but I used both full frame and APS-C E-Mount lenses for this review.

[@actuallyzarif]

suppose, i use the camera to record and it overheats. Will i have to wait to take photos after the overheat or does the overheating place no limitations on the photography front?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Overheating shuts the camera down... With that being said you can turn it back on pretty quick and should be able to take photos as it cools down from the intense video session...

[@jflynn495]

I'm looking at the a6600 or the a6700 for my first mirrorless camera, the a6700 would be the edge of my budget, but I might be able to swing it. Is it worth it to drop the money to get a new a6700 over a lightly used a6600? Thanks!

[@ryan3999]

What did you decide? I’m going through this same question, except from an a6000! 😂

[@user-ne3zr9er1h]

if you record with an external recorder like the ninja v, would the overheating issue go away?

[@Jason_Hermann]

If you mean only using the HDMI out and not recording internally, I'm not sure.. I would assume yes that it will still overheat because it needs to process the data from the sensor for the HDMI out, but it should last longer before overheating.

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

Is the 4k 120 quality good enough compared to 4k 24? Is there a significant difference?

[@Jason_Hermann]

The 4k/120 is really good quality as you can see in this video, but not as good as the 4k/24p...

[@mustang2005]

I really want to upgrade my a6600 (main reasons being the side flip screen, digital hot shoe, and active stabilization) but that overheating issue is concerning. My a6600 has never overheated no matter how much I've used it. I exclusively use 30p and sometimes 24p for low light situations. Very rarely any higher fps. And I always use it outside, especially in direct sunlight. While I don't always record video for long periods of time (mainly what I use it for and sometimes photos) sometimes I do. And I don't know if I can have enough confidence in the a6700 not overheating on me using it in the same situations id use the a6600. I don't know what to do and if I should buy it. The fx30 is more camera than I really need just to have a fan. Plus it's heavier. And I'm already invested into apsc. So to switch to a full frame like the ZV-E1(or upcoming a7cii), now I'd need all new lenses and cost a lot more. 👎

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah I here you Mustang... The ZV-E1 overheats just as fast as the A6700 or maybe even faster. I did not have an issues when I was out and about using it like a regular camera, so it's hard to say. I think above 80 degrees outside is where you will start to see issues based on my testing. I do still think the camera will record for a while though, jut not for a long time in those conditions and photography should be fine. How hot is it where you will be outside in the direct sun?

[@mustang2005]

@@Jason_Hermann Any temp really, can be over 80. I don't always record long clips, but the times I do, I don't want to have to worry about any overheating. Ah idk... I think I will wait. Maybe see if they release a firmware update to improve it or something.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah, in that case I would just stick with the A6600 for now then as it's a really great camera 👍 It seams like to me in order to have all the new Ai technology and 10-bit video in these very small camera bodies a fan is required for anything in higher temps or longer form... Not sure if there will be a way around that, but perhaps they will figure out a new method via a firmware update that can sample the video in a less intensive way at some loss in quality, but at least will record longer maybe? No idea... All the best, Jay

[@mustang2005]

@@Jason_Hermann Yeah, honestly I don't even need all that. Nor do I think my aging laptop will be able to handle 10 bit and high mbps anyway. Perhaps that may help the overheating situation. All I care about really, is the active steady shot, (i have very shaky hands especially in run and gun vlogging vids) and the side flip screen. My sony mic blocks the screen on the a6600. And I can take advantage of the digital mic. But all the other features are added bonuses.

[@jameiealehandro]

for the overheating tests did you flip the screen out ?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes of course...

@@Jason_Hermann Thanks anyway. You make a great point by comparing 6700 to a7c. I would consider it but I have 5 apsc lenses I bought for my ZVE10. Maybe I’ll have a need to jump to full frame but it will cost me for sure. Great videos. Cool kid!

What is the ISO range you recommend for this camera?

[@Jason_Hermann]

100-6400 for super clean images... Even 6400 you will see some noise, but it's not that bad...

[@DDHDTV]

Is there any way you can do the high ISO test as a side to side to the A7C?

[@Jason_Hermann]

The A7C performs better in that test for sure! Full frame sensor also has better dynamic range.. Kind a short on time otherwise I would test that for you, but I'm sure somebody on youtube has made that comparison by now if you do a search...

[@DDHDTV]

@@Jason_Hermann I'm surprised to say that there are way less comparisons of those two than I would like. Thank you nonetheless, by far my favourite review of this camera :)

[@DDHDTV]

as an a6000 user who only shoot stills, I’m unsure if I should upgrade finally. I found myself a lot in low light situations and the am not sure how noticable the image quality jump will be to the a6700. thank your for these breat insights! edit: that said, the 51200 ISO looks better than my 6400 ISO lol ? so I may be able to skip the FF upgrade to the a7c edit2: holy shit, I was too quick to comment, thank you so much for bringing the a7c into the comparison. I do plan to pair the a7c with samyang tiny lenses maybe, sony 35 1,8, maybe sony 40 2.5. i shoot 99% of my photos with primes, but i’ll wait for this years japan trip to see how much i use the zoom kn my trips. barely using the 18-105 F4, but if I do, only the long end and I really enjoy the pictures. not sure what to replace that with

[@adonhd7]

Hey I’m having problems with the video they won’t open or play normal like my a7iv in QuickTime or any other platforms They only play in the creators app from Sony I couldn’t even open it with the creator app on the phone, do you think it could a bug or something like that I even updated to the 101 firmware ??

[@Jason_Hermann]

The videos play fin on my Mac in quicktime, so you prolly need and update to your computer I would have to guess...

[@adonhd7]

Okay that could be but they won’t even open when I transfer them to the app

[@SwiftySanders]

Creators App on the phone wont work if its in 4.2.2. You have to downgrade the quality in order to make it work. FYI.

[@Broba_Fett]

Would this be the best camera for someone getting into photography? Or should I wait and see what the A7C II has to offer and shell out more money and go full frame?

[@Jason_Hermann]

The full frame sensor is going to be better, but if your just getting into photography, you don't need the latest and greatest camera, so perhaps consider the original A7C geni.us/N6UyGd which is on sale right now if you want to dabble in the full frame world :) Otherwise this camera is also a great option and best in class in a lot of ways...

[@Broba_Fett]

@@Jason_Hermann Yeah I've been eyeing the A7C but I've heard lots of complaints about the old menu system so it's kind of deterring me away. One of the main reasons I'm considering the a6700 is the 4K 120, even though it's cropped the quality looks great. Thanks for your input though!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Well you said you were looking for photography, but yeah if you want 4k/120 then that limits you to only a few cameras... I don't think the A7C II will have 4k/120 since the original A7C was basically an A7 III in a smaller body, so the A7C II will probably be an A74 in a smaller body if Sony fallows a similar path... A74 does not have 4k/120, but the ZV-E1, A6700, FX30, FX3, A7S3 and A1 all have it though for reference. The menus are much better on the newer cameras also I agree 👊

@@Jason_Hermann yeah my bad it'll be used for both but mainly photography since that's what I genuinely take the most. From what I've read is that the A7C II will cap out at 4k 60 which isn't bad though. Thanks again and sorry for the confusion.

Just clicked on your Thermals/Heating Time Stamp of your review of the Sony a6700-From a Real World Perspective: Sony Engineers, Tech & Marketing Should be Ashamed of themselves for such a poorly designed camera. They should STOP the manufacture and distribution of this camera. Go back to the Drawing Board & Start All Over Again Until They "Get it Right." Period. In this day & age, there is no excuse for shoddy design & manufacture. By the way, I was a Design & Film student at the Walt Disney School in the seventies, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in the seventies. 😎😎

[@Jason_Hermann]

I hear ya, but Sony makes cameras specifically for video that don't overheat in particular the FX30 which has the same sensor as the A6700... With that being said, I wish it was able to do better with the heat management also, but I think the camera would need to cost at least $400 more minimum and then it would be to expensive for a lot of people. With that being said I hear you and it is what it is.... All the best, Jay

[@1izia]

Is it overheat in 4k 25 more then zv-e10/6400?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes 100%, those cameras and the A7C I can leave on for hours recording and they get very warm, but don't overheat in my studio....

[@JorgeLetria]

I just wished they separated their photography and videography camera ranges. This camera costs 1700€ in Europe. That's $1850 for an APSC camera. It's way too much if you're not going to use the video features. A photographer doesn't need ultra fancy continuous autofocus or 4K 120hz recording, but we're forced to pay for it if we want the latest sensors/processors. Low light performance has improved marginally since the a6000 and this camera is almost twice as expensive.

[@SamtronCZ]

... 600 shots when you doing photography .. well i just did today 608 photos and i ended up with 75% battery left so i dont know :D

[@Jason_Hermann]

Great news!!

[@yartriesthis]

i am thinking between A7C or A6700. Which one is better?

[@Jason_Hermann]

For just photography in general I would say the A7C for the larger full frame sensor which has more dynamic range (better low light), and will also provide more background blur if desired... With that being said, for Sports and action the A6700 is going to have an edge over the A7C in Autofocus abilities, but the A7C is still incredible in this regard so I would not worry about that very much... I own the A7C and have had it for about 2-3 years for reference.. I hope that helps, Jay

[@yartriesthis]

@@Jason_Hermann hi, Thank you I commented too soon. I am new to the video/photo. I want to take video as I hike and pics of sunrise and sunset during the blue and gold hours.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Both still great options, but in general the Sony A6700 has smaller and lighter weight lens options available so that would be better hiking in my opinion on the burden carry category. Best image quality possible however, would be the full frame camera matched with really good lenses.... It's always a compromise, because the A7C full frame camera sensor has more dynamic range and better low light also.... With that being said the A6700 matched with a great lens produces incredible image quality, so a good lens is more important when it comes to next level image quality in a lot of cases.

[@yartriesthis]

@@Jason_Hermann thanks for additional deal. Do you carry mono pod or tripod for recording the sunrise/sunset? what brand do you recommend? i was using a joby 1k for my iphone 12.

[@sarathmenont5521]

When will Sony Give us full frame camera with 4K 120 FPS at affordable price

[@Jason_Hermann]

Sony ZV-E1 has it.... geni.us/Uyypd

[@TheDoomWorm]

Are you sure the IBIS is 7 stops ? Most review websites state its 5 stops

[@Jason_Hermann]

You are absolutely correct and I have no clue how I got that wrong!! I do apologize and I had it in my head since this camera was released that it had 7-stops stab and I thought I confirmed that several times as well. Again, I'm really sorry about that, but the stabilization is still improved with the Ai Chip when in Active mode so that is still a significant upgrade for video...

[@TheDoomWorm]

@@Jason_Hermann no worries, just wanted to clarify it. Would have been great if it was 7 but 5 is enough as well Cheers and thanks for the video :)

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah, 5 is enough I agree, but still no idea how I go that wrong... I'm actually going to edit that out of the video because it's not accurate and can mislead people which I obviously don't want to ever do... Thank you again for pointed that out I really appreciate it 👊

[@skyhawk21]

A6700 and new battery, need to charge with usb c and it takes two hours or more in camera. Camera has to be off to charge which is dumb, when powered on won’t charge battery.. I wish it came like old cameras with wall charger for battery it self… also has issues with sigma lens currently…

[@sonypix01]

The only problem with the viewfinder being on the side of the camera is we lefty eye users have our noses squished!

[@puppet_master]

Does it still overheat with a dummy battery?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I didn't test that specifically, but I would say yes. You should get slightly longer record times than when using PD-Power w/ Battery like I tested though... Just using a battery and no HDMI or PD power yielded me about 20-30minutes more recording time in my studio, but it still eventually overheated for reference.

[@MacDonaldArthur]

Why does everyone loves to shot with 24p for youtube contents? 24p so choppy, and why do people keep using it?

[@DDHDTV]

1700 € (1863$) for europe :(

[@luisandradevideo]

Dji rs 3 + 17-70 Tamron + a6700 = 3200€ i spend 😢
