Great work Jason. This has been very informative.😊👍

[@kagi95]

This is exactly the review I was looking for, thanks!

[@andrewkrivitskiy5363]

Amazing video! Thank you!! Helped me greatly with my decision! Thanks!

[@qbukhari]

Very nice comparison Clear and to the point 👍

[@sjm.photos]

nice im loving the A6700 so far the more im using it the more it gets better and better

[@myokom]

Finally great comparison video 👏

[@DDHDTV]

Crazy that everybody hates the EVF. I never had issues with the EVF of the a6000 and I feel like the EVF of my friends a6300 is like a revolution. The a6700s EVF must look awesome for me!

[@banditalley9592]

That's exactly the problem - everyone just compares "stats". Photographers just get on with it, but fanboys/haters just want to compare megapixels/sensor size/screen resolution. The point is, like you have said, just use these things and experience them for what they are - tools. Tools to do a job and allow your creativity to come to life. If you compare your A6000 to an A6400 you will see a huge gain, but if you compare your sensor to the professional Canon 1Ds MkII I was shooting weddings on in 2006 then your A6000 would look awesome. The 1Ds MkII was a $3500 camera body at the time with 16MP and a screen on the back like a postage stamp. It never stopped me doing 75x50cm canvases and putting together sharp and detailed wedding albums. Enjoy the camera for what it can do for you rather than seeing if the grass is greener somewhere else. Incidentally, you would be hard pushed to tell the difference between the A6700 and A6000 image quality on a correctly exposed image with a good lens.

[@davidrobertnewman]

A wishlist request for the a7Cii is an EVF with higher magnification.

[@SwiftySanders]

Yeah sometimes you have to ignore the hype and go with what your gut is telling you. 👍🏾

[@careylymanjones]

Reviewers ALWAYS find SOMETHING to complain about. It's their way of showing viewers they tested EVERYTHING and that they're not just shilling for the manufacturers.

[@craiggillette4381]

Haven't got one to try the viewfinder. I do do fine with the Nex6 and later A6400 finders. For a while , younger then, I wasn't always wearing glasses and then couldn't deal with only a rear panel finder. Now, I'm using varifocals and viewfinders are still problematic in some ways. My A7Riv is a clearly better finder. It's a bigger and was a $3000 or so camera, too. While some just don't like them I'd expect there are no small number that have a great deal of trouble with these finders and more so with the A7C.

[@claritysightsounddesign]

Thanks for this video. Of course you are the one to do this video comparison.

[@patrickgilmour1221]

thanks for clearing up the heating issue. People have been talking about the a6700 heating issue non stop, but this would just be a bcam. they also unofficially make fans that you can add to your camera, not sure if they will be compatible with a6700. People 3d print them.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

GREAT COMPARISON 👍

[@suburbanninja4883]

Great video! It answered all my questions regarding the two. If I'm going for the a6700 what two lenses should I get? I'm a beginner and will be doing mostly BTS footage for films and documentaries, family vacations and small events.

[@Amirul_Zahin]

By far the best a6700 review. Salute sir

[@TundeEszlari]

Awesome video.

[@rufuspipemos]

This is so useful!

[@johndc7446]

Both a6700, R7, and XS20 are great cameras. Although im not really into these type of content creation focused cameras. I am more on the photography side. I guess the most interesting thing about these releases are there are more grumnblings against the a6700, when we can consider how it has better rolling shutter and video dynamic range than the r7. It also has the best video autofocus and lens breathing compensation, compared to the low performance of fujis when it comes to autofocus. And lastly the lens options; you cant beat sony when it comes to 3rd party lenses. I believe all of these 3 cameras are great and theres no need to grumble too much against the a6700 which is in my opinion the better choice if your mainly a content creator and not just focused on photography. Sony could have done better but the a6700 can go against the r7 and xs20.

[@filmmakerevolution]

Just bought the FX30 as a B cam to my FX3 great camera! But honestly either of these two cameras would be great, cameras nowadays are all so capable that its easy to get good results whatever you have.

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*I think people get confused between Hybrid Camera vs Cinema Camera and I think most Creators forget that. That is why I sold my a6400 and ZV-1 because Although I do plan on buying another ZV Style Camera but I want a Cinema Camera which is Why I bought it*

[@carltonjones2915]

Hey Jason really liked your video comparison of some of the visual pluses and minuses of the various cameras. A little puzzled though that you did not mention the audio capabilities that certainly would make a difference in somebody filming as a solo creator.

[@finnharvor6773]

Good point. Audio needs to get more coverage in camera reviews.

[@judelazaro]

exactly, recording multichannel audio straight to the camera is such a boon

[@SouthAfricanWanderer]

This is the video I've been waiting for...unfortunately translation costs here in South Africa make the FX30 more expensive even than the A7IV when in dollar terms it is 700 odd dollars cheaper...

[@ilmarss]

Ciao! How about video clarity/sharpness? Does a6700 have a better/crispier video details than FX30? As far as i inspected sample footage the details on FX30 are *bleep* :D

[@StevePuppe]

The FX30 and 6700 would be a pretty good combo. I have the FX30 and might keep it in the cage and use it as a tripod camera and then use the 6700 for a gimbal cam and walkaround still shooter.

[@visiblevoyage]

Its like having two same cameras instead have one fullframe like 7c or 7iv

I am keen on upgrading from my a6400 to a6700 but concerned about the overheating reports from all the youtubers. I do small clips for travel video content and don't go on hour long shoots or something. But I do stay in hotter climate (India) and my travel might be to places like S.E Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam etc.) Will that be a problem? Will it be unsuable to shoot 4k 30/ 60 fps full day in (in bursts of clips 10 -15 seconds long)

[@teamscoobydoo]

Can you do a don't choose wrong between fx3 and fx30?

[@AnimeWill]

Sadly the 6700 does overheat after about an hour when you're utilizing the HDMI. Not a big deal for me since when I record in studio using my monitor, I rarely record that long continuously. But if you have to rely on the HDMI for livestreaming b/c your PC doesn't have USB-C, then that could be an issue. I think Neweer has an external fan coming out for these.

[@ZoSOFrappacino]

good point thanks for the info

[@BluegrassBowhunting]

Hi Jason, I love your reviews. I currently have the a6600 and have been thinking hard about upgrading. I film mostly deer hunting so i deal with alot of low light outdoor conditions inside the woods. I really am wanting that 4k120fps for slow motion. However, my biggest issues are my a6600 does seem to struggle very bad in low light conditions and it’s tough to see what I’m recording without the flip out screen on a camera arm. That being said, the 1.5x crop on aps-c kind of helps to reach in further distances without a ginormous lens. The low light capability is an issue. I’m not against going to a full frame however I’m already invested in a few apps-c lenses. I’m 80-20 video and really want the best cinematic yet low light features i could get. Anywhere from the 6700, ZV-E1, Canon R5, lumix S5ii, A7Siii, etc. Would the 6700 even be a low light upgrade? Or is the only route full frame with that bigger sensor from the a6600 One thing i have in mind with the Sony vs canon cameras, if i went full frame then canon could make up that 1x5 crop range with the 10x clear image zoom vs Sonys 1x5…. I’m still learning so please correct me with your thoughts or any input you may have.

[@aleksdeveloper698]

Should I buy this or ZV-E1? Which one is better? Is it a big enough difference between both?

[@KeatsIT]

I choose .... BOTH!!! FX30 is my fully rigged A-CAM and the a6700 will be my handeld/gimbal + travel photos B-CAM! Keeping my a7rIII for serious photoshoots

[@Zick.nguyen]

I used the a6700, it heat up just after ~50 shots, room temp about 27-28*C, its hot

[@ChuihcguRydughx]

[@theSFCchannel]

Watching this on my Xperia 1 V- with vlog monitor and shooting grip. BTW I really like the FX 30

[@AllThingsFilm1]

As a filmmaker, from what I've seen, I think the a6700 would make a great b-cam to my FX30. The a6700 has the same dual base ISO sensor as the FX30. It may have only one SD card slow, but, that's not really a deal breaker for me. I use high quality SD cards from SanDisk, ProGrade and Sony Tough cards, all v90. And at $1,400, it's really a no brainer.

[@editudepicturesBLN]

DOES it have dual base iso? So 800 and …? I wasn‘t sure about that…

[@holdmyown32]

Thinking the same thing. Plus a6700 can be my main travel camera.

[@nicedward7544]

I've never had an SD card fail or know anyone that has had it happen to them. As long as you don't use crap cards I think you're fine

[@CarCareHelp]

I think 6700 has an ooverhating problem if so it is not good cam for hot parts of world

[@collectedvisuals]

i do photography on the a7riv and am looking for a B camera for video. i'm thinking fx30 because i shoot in arizona. am i gonna be sad with a crop sensor? i really want the 4k 120 and the fx3. should i save my pennies?

[@dan3510]

Could be helpful when reviewing this camera to mention the specs of the memory card (and price) in order to use this camera’s max quality setting… over 500m per second… which and SD card that can support that runs a nearly 200 dollars.

[@MrShanePhoto]

O anyone starting out I'd say got for the a6700 and spend money on really good lens.

[@RT365]

Hey @jason I like to purchase an a6700 but I don’t know how the camera will interact with the ninja v +. My main concerns is that the camera will not show video in the camera screen or the view finder while sending 4k video to the ninja. Pls advise. 😊

[@zacharymoran7596]

So I’m currently sitting on an FX30 and seriously considering the value in selling it and picking up the A6700. Turns out, I don’t do video nearly as much as I’d thought I’d like to and still am primarily a photo shooter. Honestly the A6700 is my perfect camera for hiking trip…. Not an easy decision. That said, for the photo work I’ve done the FX30 has actually done some solid work. And I do kind of like it for no reason other than it’s kinda cool….

[@aaroncadena6398]

In about 20 days I might have an FX30 sitting on my desk but then I found out about the a6700 just yesterday and.. it stopped me in my tracks. For someone who’s just about shooting social media reels and cinematic youtube, along with occasional product photography shots on my a7ii now, this really has put me in the rabbit hole of which one, the FX30 to have the highest cinema ceiling I can have ? Or is the a6700 good enough to future proof just as well and save some money for my first APSC lens.

[@DarioSinger]

FX30 is approved by Netflix.

[@Disonant]

@@aaroncadena6398which camera did u get?

[@jochem1986]

I wish the FX-30 would come with the EVF. That's the hybrid I need.

[@aimAssistPC]

Damn. So, overall I'd like to shoot videos. I'm starting to get into videography right now and I'm looking for the right camera to buy. After watching this video I kinda tend towards the FX30. BUT I'm still interested in taking photos and If it works well, I want to do photo/video 50/50. I sometimes wanna create a normal youtube video, sometimes a short movie and rarely take pictures in the beginning. But pictures will be more and more interesting over time for me and I wanna learn photography as well. So which camera should I get? I like the A6700 a lot, but I'm not happy with overheating. In my case I don't really think, that I would use FPS over 24 or 30, but I don't know yet. After I start taking videos and finding my style of shooting I can tell which framerates I'd use often. I need help. Can't decide. And I'm researching for 3 months now and I can't decide whether I should get a FX30 or a6700

[@BabyJay]

[@NeshaBryant]

Do you have a video on the smartphone you use to connect to your camera?? Looks pretty cool

[@phoenixvette]

The Sony Xperia phones are great and very straight forward to use that feature. It's a preinstalled app. I use it on a gimbal mostly, but you can also remote control the sony cameras and transfer photos to the phone for social. And the 3.5mm jack is great quality for external audio recording if you don't need the phone as a monitor. I used it for a separate boom once and it saved my butt! Also the 21:9 screen is beautiful. (and it's one of the last phones left with a finger print scanner instead of face ID)

I shoot with an a7ii in controlled environments for product photography right now, but want a camera that can shoot amazing video for dramatic reels and KZbin shorts advertisements for small businesses and events. Considering the a7ii I have now, is it still worth saving extra money with the a6700 and it’s already amazing video? Will I get that much more out of the fx30 with what I do?

[@burgunbeerd]

The fx30 is actually only about $70USD more expensive here in Australia. Makes it a much harder decision as to what becomes my C camera

[@TheHorrorGeek]

All right, maybe you can help me specifically because I'm still torn here. Use case: I'm a youtuber who rarely takes photos. I'm currently using an A6400 on a tripod in a teleprompter enclosure. We manually focus (I found the AF "breathing" distracting and could never get it to stop doing that...I'm also a noob. :p). The camera generally works great, unless we have batch shooting days where it will overheat in the teleprompter enclosure unless we shoot a 30-40 minute video, stop, let it cool for 15-20 minutes, then shoot the next. We're also in the process of launching a longer video podcast (eps of an hour or more) so I worry about the overheating issues. I was all set to go with the FX30 (even though it's complete overkill for the talking head videos I do) but I like the 6700's flexibility. But again, I basically never shoot photos. Any opinion on which is the better choice for this use case scenario? Thanks for the great video!

[@JasonVong]

I think for the peace of mind, go FX30. The built-in fan will easily keep your long podcast going.

I shoot 70/30 photos to videos, so it's a6700 for me. The evf is fine from a6300 to a6600 for me (my 2 apsc cameras), so the a6700 evf should be fine for me. The other camera I am looking out is the a7C II, to update my FF camera to the latest AI AF, video capabilities and colour.

[@erum.m]

And what is your prognosis? If you had to buy one...?

[@JasonVong]

The only right answer

[@oceqanslofi]

The FX30 would have been perfect with an attachable or built in EVF.

[@phoenixvette]

I work with cinema cameras at my corporate job and I'm starting to branch out on my own, I think I'm getting the 6700 mainly because if I get a gig with an interview, I'll shoot 30 in air conditioning, if not then I'll rent. When you consider that a built in fan is also a weak point in harsher weather, humidity and sand at the beach, weather sealing makes sense for run and gun work. I think the upgrade path for me is gonna be a6700 to compliment my A7iv, rent rent rent then Boom! Ronin 4D 8k, then rent rent rent and BAM Sony Venice 2. I don't anticipate making it to the Venice but for a dual camera set up, having full frame and Apsc is a nice way to double your focal lengths on glass you already own and by the time I build out an fx6 for myself or something, there'll be a new $10k cinema camera on the block. Don't underestimate the power of an APSC lens selection. It's so lightweight compared to some of the camera's I've worked with. At the end of the day, does the client like their video?

[@angelviera107]

i’m kind of new to cameras - the 6700 wouldn’t do no overheating taking pictures or am i wrong ?

[@JasonVong]

You don't need to worry about any overheating for photography

[@ChrisParayno]

Evfa are great if you don't have any stability. I think I'd rather go with the a6700 because it's cheaper, has all the same capabilities as the fx30, and more flexible overall. I'd go with the fx30 if I don't need to do any photos at all and have all the xlr inputs.

I have the a6600, is there a huge difference in the two camera, I shoot photography only,would you upgrade

[@careylymanjones]

How happy are you with the A6600's AF? If you're ok with the A6600's AF, there's probably no rush. There are a couple of nice-to-have features, though. Focus bracketing is handy for macro work. You can stack the bracketed images in post. Focus mapping is kind of cool, to show you how much is in focus, when you're shooting MF. The A6700's backlit sensor is probably better, if you shoot a lot, in low-light. If you shoot a lot in low-light or you're unhappy with the A6600's AF, upgrade. Otherwise, there's no rush.

[@HSNG10]

I would not upgrade from a6600 to a6700 if you are only doing photography. The only significant upgrade would be AI AF and a better BSI sensor for higher 26MP photo and iso performance. I am thinking of upgrading as there are significant upgrades for video.

[@ereceeme]

if you need 10bit, and focus A,I then yes its a notable uphtade.

[@craiggillette4381]

Photo only, I might not. I have an a6400 which has the smaller battery and no IBIS. The bigger battery is a plus for consistency with my ff but no IBIS hasn't been a problem. I'm considering it for the enhanced focus system and video capabilities. Things like the new menu system or external controls, I'm used to what I have.

[@rsmith02]

For photography only? Not unless I want a second body. The lossless compressed raw may help with low-light photos and artifacts. The menus are improved. The front dial would be useful. I just handled one and it's quite similar to the a6600.

[@sankt.gabriel]

I am using the ZV-E10 but am annoyed by the screen-only construction. Taking photos is a pain. However the small form factor is nice. How much of a difference is the ZV-E10 compared to the a6700? Sometimes I am even annoyed to take my ZV with me when I dont mainly want to shoot video or photo.

Overheating is a total dealbreaker. If camera states that is has unlimited video recording function, then this function MUST just work, and not only at 22C, but across entire operating temperature range specified in specs. Imagine if a photographer's camera during wedding ceremony or sport event or any other shoot would suddenly overheat and he'd be like "wait, all don't move, hold on for a minute". If that sounds like total nonsence, then why it is acceptable for video?

​@@mattx4253 This is exactly the problem I wrote about. Both Sony and almost all reviewers advertise it as proper video camera, they tell that "it will not overheat" and that "it will be fine", but in practice it is bullshit.

[@rsmith02]

I'd like to see more testing of 4K30 and 4K24 to see if it's usable for documentary shooting, including long-form (1 hour) interviews. Camera failures do happen with photography and that's the time to pull out the backup body (had a shutter button fail shooting a wedding).

[@Disonant]

@@mattx4253dude, not everyone has money to buy the most expensive ff cameras. If you can't get good pictures w any camera then you are lame.

[@vioreldimitriu7563]

Where did you find this camera for $1,399 ? Because in Germany it costs 1,700 euros.

[@rsmith02]

B&H Photo.

[@goestas]

I was getting upset about this with another camera, until I remembered that here in Germany 19% sales tax is included in the list price.

[@scooby4186]

In my position, do you think the FX30 would be a better buy than the FX3 as my first cinema camera? I'm asking because I'm already in Sony's ecosystem. My photo camera is the A7R3 paired with 24-70 2.8 GM and 70-200 2.8 GM. Would it make sense to buy the FX30 and invest in ASPC lenses or should I just use my FF GM's lenses vs buying the more expensive FX3?

[@JasonVong]

Since you already have FF lenses, you don't need to spend more money on APSC glass. Use it with the FX3. I think the better low light capability will also serve you better overall.

[@scooby4186]

@@JasonVong Gotcha, I have made up my mind then. Thank You for the reply, I appreciate it!

[@ereceeme]

The fx30 would be best for me but the lack of an evf is a deal breaker. Dont want to rig it, makes it bulkier and heavier

[@ParsclickTV]

bug auto focus :))))

[@Anthob22]

😞but I like how the body looks on the fx30 vs the a6700.... haha

[@lonceyscairns33]

Two disagreements 1 form factor is actually bigger defeating the lightweight apsc purpose plus crop better for weddings reach Cheers anyways 😊❤

But Jason, don't you think it shouldn't matter if a camera is used professional or just for personal use. Did you ever had a card failure after a trip you took and all your photos and videos you capture were gone. Its so sad to see that especially Sony, but also so many people agrueing that 2 card slots are only for professionals. But everybody of us invest some time in taking those shots or videos and when they are gone, they are most likely gone forever. And some or even most trips you can't reproduce so easily. Also we all put effort or time into making content creation or waiting for bird to capture, and then spending this time was all for nothing, cause you got only 1 card slot and little bit of bad luck that the card failed.

[@rsmith02]

No, never had that. Only failures I had were 10 years ago where my Canon DSLR didn't work reliably with video and 64GB cards. Several hundred thousand photos and no losses related to failed CF or SD cards.

[@JasonVong]

I have considered that argument but I often hear from most casuals are already accustomed to 1 card slot or even no card slots at all (i.e. smartphones) so even thinking about having 2 card slots wouldn't even cross their minds. Some like us would see the benefits of having 2 card slots but most wouldn't rank it high on their list.

[@graphguy]

FX30 wins in one area hands down - overheating. I'm a hybrid shooter, BUT..........need my camera to shoot nonstop 4k/60 in the sun for 2+ hours. The 6700 can't even come close to doing that.

[@banditalley9592]

Has anyone who pre-ordered the A6700 received it yet?

[@sankt.gabriel]

Its not released yet

[@TW-iu9zy]

… yes, me. Here in Germany you get the a6700 without delay since last week.

[@rsmith02]

It's out in Japan.

[@patrickgilmour1221]

should ship by thursday. According to my order at best buy. remember also that there could be alot of demand, so yours depending when you ordered it, might not be in the first shipments.

[@TheBhappyboy1986]

Fujifilm remains still the best option for APS-C, X-t5 or the X-S20 are better options imho. Sony has so much better Full Frame cameras. Is seems like APS-C is not more than a afterthought to them.

[@TrocasMX]

Why the fffff would you go to APC 😂😂😂😂 flan people y’all really special type of smart

[@rsmith02]

Works great and more compact. 35mm itself was always a compromise with lesser image quality than medium and large format film. There's nothing magical about it.

[@samuelcruz3786]

The correct ander is: buy Blackmagic, forget sony images...

[@lj7256]

销量不咋地，让大v宣传宣传😂

[@Ykii15]

How can you recommend the a6700 with HELLISH HEATING lol? it's completely unusable. There is no need to mislead people because it will look like you were paid to advertise Sony. Fx30 seems for me the best option
