Sony A6700 Review｜Good for WILDLIFE Photography?

[@Apticx]

Sony is just absolutely slaying with their apsc game lately. One thing that is imo one of the absolute best and most important features of it is actually its ibis. It just makes it so much more capable with everything thats not bright daylight.

[@mjsvitek]

I'd kill to have an A6700 in an A7 or A9 body. Just so much nicer to hold, not a fan of the A6x00 bodies :(

[@dominikotocan1348]

​@@mjsvitek I mean, you can get a7R series and use them in crop mode. It's even better because you get both the full frame sensor and aps-c mode, a better body and a dual card slot

[@Apticx]

@@mjsvitek i like those bodies a lot. if i have to do a extended shoot i just put a grip cage on it and make it more comfortable. the a6400 is my current main camera

[@loudmotion5639]

how are they slaying it? they only release like 2 bodies after 5 years that basically have the same internals minus a fan or minus an evf :/ 🤣🤣🤣

[@panzer3279]

But that tiny body is unusable for me.

I own a Sony A6700 and I'm very happy as landscape photographer with this model.

[@nicolasguillenc]

Great video! I like the perspective from a photographer who actually uses it and pushes its limits and is not just gear review. No one can look at your photos or footage and think that they will have an unusable piece of gear. That camera looks awesome I hope I can buy it one day!

[@pronoygms507]

That cinematography was absolutely breathtaking . ❤

I own an A6400 and a 200-600 mm, with a crop factor that's an amazing zoom. I really recommend that or these things shown in the video.

[@wizardowlgenius7186]

I was just researching on A6700 vs A7M4 and then saw this video. amazing!

[@GuitarRJP]

@wizardowlgenius7186 I actually have the A7M4 and looking for a second body, travel and for wildlife, can get that extra reach. I am debating between A7Cii which is a smaller A7M4, for $2200, or go for the A6700 (better grip, better rolling shutter, 4K 60 no additional crop so 26mp vs. 14mp for cropping the 33mp) for $1400!

[@m11kan]

​@@GuitarRJP A6700 also has 4k120 which most cameras does not have..

[@zapadakofflv8560]

​@@GuitarRJP I have an a7iv and as a second body an a6700. He's really great, and AF is famous. Both together cost me less than a7rv.

This video is so soothing to watch. I have nowhere enough money to buy it at the moment, but still I enjoyed the video greatly.

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

Thanks for a real world review on this camera. Really can’t decide between this or the A7iv.

[@bondgabebond4907]

The A74 is a good camera many use for videography. But it lacks the new tracking technology found in the a6700 and A7R5. If macro, insect and animal photography is something you like to do, the a6700 is a fantastic choice. I find it more satisfying than using a FF camera. I bought the A74 and sold it because the a6700 is a superior camera despite the smaller sensor.

[@PhotographerJimmy]

I love your videos and you never disappoint. You have turned me into the photographer that i am today! Thank you!!

Watching your videos inspires me to become a photographer, even if its just as a hobby.

[@JoeMaranophotography]

I looked at it as I like Sony but am going to replace my G9 with a G9ii because as a wildlife photographer I need good autofocus, high fps and rolling shutter that isn't bad

[@thaticelandicguy]

Hey that’s me!!!

[@ollenilssonen]

Are you still standing there?

[@panchajanya1999]

​@@ollenilssonen legend says he is still standing there for 8 months haha 😂

[@RiposteThis]

The a6700 is just all around an almost perfect ASPC camera, I just wish it had a slightly better LCD screen (1.8m like the XS20) and an second card slot. If it had those 2 things, I'd honestly use it for almost everything. It also has the highest dynamic range of any ASPC sensor, it's like 12.3 stops at iso 100, which is extremely good and in video it's 14 stops. As for the longer filming, Ulanzi makes a $30 fan accessory for the a6700 and it extends the filming time in 4k60 to almost 2 hours.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Yep, second card slot and that's all I could really ask for from a camera, I think. Especially now with some fast lens options like the 27mm 1.2 or 75mm f1.2 and the Sigma f1.4 range.

[@RiposteThis]

@@Thirsty_Fox And honestly, I think Sony is going to come out with an a6900 that will rival the XT5 / XH2.

[@nicedward7544]

I'd be all over it if it had 2 slots and pre capture.

[@Marquess271]

Mate there is no way you actually did this video, even shooting pictures with the Sony 70-350mm after I‘ve just mentioned it in the comments on your last video. Haha stoked AF. Thanks so much and great video as usual man. Have a good day!

[@MatthewMKF]

This is gonna be a good one!

[@slam5]

i just got it and definitely glad i got it. yes, i spend a bit of money to upgrade from 6600 but every improvement while can be small. make it a big set when you add it together.

[@arildhagen3820]

Bought the A6700 last year but haven't tried it out much in favour of my full frame bodies. The camera was mainly intended for Macro use (focus stacking capabilities) and for video with a budget entry to 4K 120. Now, as the majority of the pictures I take are wildlife and the full frames has been "welded" to a 600mm f/4.0 GM with 1.4x TC the swap to the A6700 didn't get me exited until I decoupled the TC and mounted the camera directly to 600 mm (900mm f/4.0 Eqv). The results and general look of the images of birds in action was for me very pleasant surprising. I now have 900 mm f/4.0 without TC as previous 840mm f/5.6 on full frame. I have not seen any videos of matching the A6700 with the 600 GM and are planning do to one in the near future. Thanks for a interesting video

[@pentagramyt417]

But then you have 1260 mm with x1.4 TC and 5.6 light on your A6700.

[@arildhagen3820]

@@pentagramyt417 correct but I want to keep the ISO levels low and still have the reach. If the TC yields ISO3200, it will be ISO1600 on F/4 competing with the FF f/5.6 with the TC and 840mm. Have some more testing to do

[@arthurbouyer726]

thanks for your videos Olle, it's always so clean and perfectly balance between tech and nature, and THAT is amazing to watch !

[@ollenilssonen]

Glad to hear that, thank you so much!

[@andrass.2842]

I've been looking forward to this review! My answer on "FF or APS-C?" is Both! I use an a6600 and it's pretty difficult to give up on the extra reach for the better low light performance of a FF...so I want both. I want an a6700 and an a7CII because I like the small form factor and the better auto focus. The EVF is good enough, one card slot is enough, 10 fps is enough and even a 24 mp sensor is enough. If you do it everything right, it's crazy how much you can crop a 24 mp image. All these are good enough and make enjoying wildlife photography possible. Thanks for the review! Ohh, and the E 70-350 mm lens is amazing. I love it. Perfect light weight setup!

[@hilmarkampstra1686]

I have the a7iv, which is considerable older in AF design. Would like to get the same AF as the a7RV plus the occasional 4K 100p video, so this would be perfect. Especially since I will be using the same lenses (100-400 and 200-600) for this camera, same batteries, same SD cards.

[@77danielm]

Ive got setup a6700 with 200-600 and its great for wildlife quite light i can do handheld af is really good sometimes struggles with branches but like others. Most importatnt its quite afordable set

[@Apaolino21]

Awesome review and epic footage! 👏👏

[@derJackistweg]

3:56 I was a long time A6000 user, after Nex 5R and at the time, liked the usability. Mainly because of video, I am now on X-h2s and I could never ever go back to a cam with practical no buttons. If one only shoot ONE TYPE, like sports, or portraits or kids, on in ONE type of video - this could be "ok". The X-H2s has 7 (seven) custom profiles, plus several buttons, e.g. for AF mode/+ eye/animal/etc, ISO, WB, .rec etc For me this = to - 6.2 open gate - DCI 4k 60 - DCI 4K 120 - 17:9 FHD 240 - BKT photo - panorama photo - pre-capture highframerate 15-40 FPS by the click of the turn. Plus the usual PASM/video, of course

Sony is positioning the 6000 series as a great secondary camera for A7/9/1 owners while being a great only camera for anyone in Beginner to enthusiast user,

[@ReinisDe]

Such beautiful shots, man !

[@jordiolbe]

Great review Olle and nice footage, I recently sold my A7IV and bought an a6700 after trying it for a few months. I was looking for a light setup for travel photos and wildlife and with the Sigma 1.4 primes for APS-C and the Sony 100-400 I can have all I want in a small and light package 😁 One thing you may not know regarding when the Sony a6700 (as other mirrorless) focus on the background instead of the subject is that in the a6700 (in my Sony a7IV or Sony a9 this option don't exist) you can activate a manual focus override function that works all the time, this way, anytime you need to readjust focus while in autofocus mode, you can turn the focus ring and the a6700 changes automatically to MF until you stop moving the ring, is a great way to readjust focus manually when the camera needs a bit of help

[@ollenilssonen]

Thanks for the tip man!🙌 A6700 is perfect for a compact travel camera 🤌

[@rakshithavr3154]

Great review!!! Can you please review the A7CR for wildlife

[@StuKaBomber]

Yeah okay i think this video just made me buy it soon

[@SoggyKatnip]

The odd number a6000 series (6700, 6500 etc ) focus more on video upgrades while retaining most/all the photography features of the previous model. With this in mind I cant wait to see what the a6800 brings us. Better IBIS, new evf, new joystick, 2 cardslots and maybe even a new higher MP sensor and an increase in fps. If sony can nail these things the a6000 line will be insane.

[@RuskinBinod]

That's a great in-depth video and cover almost all the topics related to wildlife. I wanna know how's sony doing with firmware update with this a6700 ?

[@QuillColor]

Amazing breakdown for someone that wants to get back in the game. my training camera is ancient with no features and i couldnt care less about bout comparisons and tech-spec. I want the comfiest buttons and concealable. Your film of the owls is dream-quality footage, i didnt think that was possible under 2k.

[@brader4649]

Hi for your opinion.. a74 or a6700 is good. For photography and a bit of videos. Planing to pair with sigma 70 200.

[@MrChrissk]

I also like the fact that the 26mp is something your not against, I asked a wildlife photographer who currently uses the A1 if he planned on getting the latest A9iii with the global shutter etc, but he instantly dismissed it due to only having 24mp and said he'd said till the next version of the A1 comes along. It's each to there own and about using what equipment is right for you, but to grumble at 24mp seems silly as Canon and Nikon's top spec DSLR camera's that I believe you can still buy from new at the £5k+ price tag only come with 20mp lol

[@nicedward7544]

You also have to think that he has to crop much more to get the reach of the apsc with the same lens. The a1 in crop mode is 21 megapixels. The a9ii in crop mode is like 10mp. As long as you get your composition right the a6700 is a beast of a camera. I think the gripe of low mp FF cameras is having to crop for the reach when shooting wildlife. With sports it's not a problem. I think the 6700 is one of the best wildlife setups imo. Extra reach and glass like the Sony 70-350 which is effectively a 105-525 that is small and light with stabilization. 200-600 that is FF equivalent of 900mm at 26mp is awesome as well. The a9 is 10mp at 900mm.

[@Thomasmcse]

Thank you for your video and reminding me to take the camera and go outside. Cause that is the most important thing. You can have the latest gear, but it doesn't mean anything about your photos. Btw. I got the A7c II this year and it is incredible.

Hey man, congrats on the camera! Im confused between a6700 and a7cii, do you think that 800$ difference is worth?

[@Thomasmcse]

@@vishaakr2860 That is a tough question. Besides the Megapixel difference and the slightly better stabilisation, both cameras are very similar. I love the new C1 Button on the A7c II and I'm using it heavily. Also my Lenses are all Full Frame. If you have the budget, I would recommend the A7c II because there are more Lenses available.

[@vishaakr2860]

@@Thomasmcse I understand. I am worried about the depth of field apsc cameras can produce, but at the same time i don’t do professional work. Tbh money isn’t the concern here. Just that i don’t want to splurge money on body, i d rather invest that in an extra lens.

I use an A7RV and I am having a hard time justifying the purchase of an a6700 because the A7RV APS-C mode is the same as the a6700. That said, I would love a smaller form factor for travel. If sony had made a 30 megapixel APS-C sensor or incorporated a stacked APS-C sensor, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I have been thinking about a Sony 70-350 lens to save weight.
