[@Cthames123]

The production quality of the video is absolutely sublime! I really appreciate the 3D spin of the cameras, (twirl around of the cameras!). The background track gives it a wonderful feel. I counted filming in 5 locations, (work area, kitchen, outside in grass with rabbit, studio). Also like how you use darkness and play with lighting indoors. Terrific, terrific, I mean terrific detail in the comparing the models. I like the full frame A7C over the A6700 myself and have even seen a cheaper price brand new ($1329), which is close if not already in screaming buy territory for the value. I like the idea of having the A6700’s better hand held video stabilization, but I’d be using a gimbal anyway. The A6700’s 4K 120, 10bit quality while great would be lost on me. Still, this has got to be one of the best videos I have seen. I am guess this took weeks to make but you did a job with this one! I liked and subscribed.

[@stkuj]

I just bought the a7c for travel/street/etc. Also, since my main is the a7rv - staying FF across is advantages for me.

[@thefilmalliance]

Great to hear. That’s an awesome setup

[@L0nkero]

I bought A7C in 2021 and haven't looked back since. A6700 looks cool but I don't think it would really bring anything meaningful to my photography, I don't shoot video and autofocus on A7C is already excellent. I shoot mainly street, architecture and general day-to-day-photography and for that it's more than good enough. Cheers.

[@bronzepodcast]

I have actually this choice on the table now, can you help? I want to buy the 35mm 1,4 GM and the body should be the a6700 or the a7c, they cost the same. Mainly photography, portraits and family. What would you choose?

[@L0nkero]

@@bronzepodcast Either camera will do the job. You might have a wider selection of lenses with A7C as well as full resolution with full frame lenses.

[@bronzepodcast]

@@L0nkero yeah my goal would be to get the a6700 and keep buying FF GM lenses with time and later upgrade body. I have seen some comparisons online and tbh new features on the a6700 sound cool, but not sure if they are game changing for photo mainly.

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

Amazing video! Definitely would love to see a lot more real world footage & photos taken from a6700 as a real world usage review. Would that be possible ?

[@thefilmalliance]

Yes, I could do that and plan to in the future. Thank you

[@Kevodabomb_Media]

The one thing to note is that f4 lenses on a full frame will be just as effective as a 2.8 lens on APSC, and the high ISO performance is cleaner. So if you compare them like that, Sony actually has some very light FF lenses. For example, the Sony 16-55 lens weighs 494g, while the Zeiss 24-70 weighs 426g. (The 16-55 has better IQ though so 🤷‍♂️) Another example is the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 vs the sony 20mm 1.8. The Viltrox is roughly a 20mm 2.1 FF equivalent weighing 420g, while the Sony 20mm 1.8 weighs 373g. These were my justifications to leave Fuji and buy a used A7C. I was finding that Fuji lenses were heavier and more expensive than similar performing Sony lenses, without having the advantages of Full Frame.

[@thefilmalliance]

That’s a great point. Yes all these things we have to consider

[@nasri]

I'm also currently a long-time Fuji shooter with the exact same plan of moving to a used a7c. Have you had any regrets so far? I literally took photos of my lenses getting ready to list them for sale today.

[@Kevodabomb_Media]

@@nasri honestly it depends which Fuji you have. Going to the A7C from the XT4 the things I missed most were the EVF, and good ergonomics as far as button customization and stuff. I basically got two kits for the same price. One, a Sony A7C with the Sony 20mm 1.8 and Sony 40mm 2.5g. The other kit was a A7IV with the Tamron 20-40 2.8. Everything is used pricing so prices for both these kits were the same. I wasn’t a huge fan of the tamron on the A7C because it doesn’t have an aperture ring and the a7C doesn’t have a front dial to control aperture. I ended up keeping the A7IV with the Tamron lens because the EVF is as good as the XT4, the ergonomics are excellent, and the overall kit weight in my sling is actually less than the A7C kit, and significantly less than my previous Fuji travel kit (XT4, Sigma 18-50 and either 10-24 or viltrox 13mm) I do not regret it at all! The image quality is amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it looks in low light at 2.8 when I shot a practice mockumentary. I also shot a concert with the tamron 20-40 and Sony 85mm 1.8 I borrowed and the images are amazing (granted you also have to know how to use the camera) The A7C was still great though especially with the little G lens, but the lack of a front dial and the TINY Evf were a deal breaker coming from the XT4 especially.

[@TW-iu9zy]

… great video! 👍🏻 let’s be real: the a6700 is in all aspects better for filming, excepts the benefits of the larger sensor (low light, shallow depth of fields etc.) … great camera in a small body!

[@thefilmalliance]

Yes and can film in 4K 120!

[@user-fz9go8pj4t]

@@thefilmalliance About the 4K 120 with a very heavy crop, and also there is a huge problem - the small form factor and a lack of the active cooling (a fan) is causing a HUGE overheating in 4K 120 and the camera will shut down after about 15-20 minutes, so practically this mode is almost useless. If someone wants to record video in 4K 120 he should go with the FX30

@@user-fz9go8pj4t dude, who's gonna shoot 4k 120 for 15-20min? Geez, it's only for an instant moment to take super slowmo. Never in my life i take 120/180/240 for more than 30sec.

SUPERB PRESENTATION! Production values are amazing! New subscriber - One very small critique is you cram SO MUCH info in your video that you are relegated to speeding up your delivery to the point where it is hard for us to assimilate everything! Other than that - top notch!! I have the A7C as my second camera on 2 camera shoots and I love it. I added the SmallRig cage with the chunkier softer handle though and that makes a big difference. THANKS MAN!!!

[@the_rat_run]

My A6700 arrived yesterday. Already have the ZV-E10 and a handful of lenses to go with it, so the A6700 made sense. Plus, I'm old... Full frame lenses are heavy...

[@thefilmalliance]

Thank you man really appreciate it

[@hellsq]

Is A7c is so much better in low light? I need a camera for recording my band's live music gigs in low light situations and some photos. Im looking for a6700 + external cooler, but maybe A7C is much better option for me?

[@Koszil1]

Is the Sony a 6700 a good choice for a first camera?

[@mkaufer05]

I choose the A6700 over the A7c for the more features on the A6700, as for ISO Noise being slightly higher then on the A7c, using a fast lens and Topaz Denoise software solves the problem.

[@PeterCleff]

Damn man, those edits in the beginning of the comparison are great. I wasn't even paying attention to the actual facts. I just Bought my a7C because of the full frame sensor and I got a good deal on a pre loved unit. But both these cameras are crazy good. Again. Crazy video!

[@WMDTech]

In the Philippines A7C and A6700 has roughly the same price. I coming from ZV e10 and planning to buy another one for 90% video and 10% photo. My room is hot and usually runs 28-32c with lights on so im leaning to A7C as i am seeing A LOT overheating copies of A6700. I do have APSC lenses so im really torn which one to get for my tech channel. What do you suggest sir?

[@oz5wob3]

I just upgraded to the a6700, I had been using the Sony a6500. The reason I updated my camera for the improvement in auto focus performance. As I get older and my eyes get worse, I need all the help I can get.

[@thefilmalliance]

I hear ya, me too. Yes the autofocus is unbelievable. Did you receive your a6700 yet?

[@oz5wob3]

@@thefilmalliance Yes, I have received my a6700. I ordered the body only as I already have a 50mm 1.8, a 16-50 kit lens and my favorite - the 70-350 which on my camera is like a 100-525mm.

[@ScrapsArt]

@@oz5wob3 How is the upgrade from a6500?

[@oz5wob3]

@@ScrapsArt so far, I have been really impressed. My wife is an actor at an outdoor theater, they perform from 2030-2230. There are spotlights but lighting is not ideal. I will say that when I take photos during their show- I do keep the camera in auto mode. The lighting changes between scenes and the camera is smart enough to get great images. I did use the auto framing for a few videos. That is such an incredible feature that I need to go invest in a lawn chair while shooting videos. The a6700 will lock onto the eyes of a person on its own, which is the main reason for me upgrading from the a6500. As my eyes get more and more outta whack, I need all the autofocus help I can get. We are going on vacation in a few weeks and hope to get some great photos and videos.

[@bradl2636]

August 29th 🎉 A7Cii A7Cr 16-35mm f2.8 GM II…! 😊 Definitely worth waiting the month to review the new A6700 vs the new full frame IMHO.

[@thefilmalliance]

[@Mo.Jo.]

I really hope the A7CII has some great upgrades like the A6700 - That would seal the deal for me. I dont use zoom lenses so the overall weight would be manageable.

[@thefilmalliance]

I hear ya. It will be interesting to see. What lenses are you using?

[@Mo.Jo.]

​@@thefilmalliance I started out in photography only a few years ago with my APS-C Canon T7i + 50mm EF 1.8 + 30mm EF 2. Considering both my lenses are full frame canon, logic would suggest i stay with a canon full frame DSLR but i am ready to make the switch to full frame mirrorless photography (no videography) and invest in that system. The main reason i hope to go with the A7Cii is for its size and weight, if they keep the features compelling and in line with the A6700.

I will def do some video but I’m thinking since the rv doesn’t have as great low light performance when shooting photos that I’ll grab the benefit of still being full frame with better low light on a7cii but I’m afraid of the price! Apsc doesn’t do bad and is very tempting.

But at the same time, there's a quite good deal and FF 😅 I'm really struggling BTW, I'm a beginner in photography

Excellent video, really detailed and helpful, and with excellent production. I'm torn between the a6700 and the a7c (or maybe the a7cii when it comes out). I'm considering the a7c option and occasionally using an aps-c lens in crop mode when travelling, and just sacrificing resolution for the sake of portability. I'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on how the 2 cameras compare when using the same aps-c lens, particularly at high iso. Essentially I'm curious if the full frame sensor in crop mode still looks clean with enough detail compared to the a6700, when viewing at reasonable size. Appreciate you probably have a lot of requests but would be great to hear your thoughts if you have the time!

[@happium4118]

I have the same question. What did you go with?

[@rossmpt]

@happium4118 Hi! So I went with the a6700 and have been very happy with it. Noise is pretty well controlled and good enough for my needs, particularly with the most recent noise reduction tools in lightroom. I did actually do some tests in a camera shop with an a7iv in crop mode compared to an a6700 and there wasn't much in it. The conclusion I've come to is, if you're going to use zoom lenses and you want a compact setup, go with the a6700. If you're predominantly going to use primes, go with the a7c or a7cII. Theres a lot of small full frame primes now, and some fairly affordable third party ones. It seems that for every fast (f1.4) aps-c prime, there seems to be an equivalent full frame lens that's about the same size in the f1.8 to f2.8 range, but with the full frame camera probably having 1-2 stops advantage in image quality. So having the full frame might edge it and give more room to expand in future.

[@happium4118]

Loved it during the first few years but now with the mobile camera doing so good in low light, I have now developed a disliking for bulky cameras. I want to travel light.

Hey there, PP6 - Cine2. I used the same profile on the a6700 so colors would match up pretty well. Thank you

[@kalcantara3118]

Awesome video! Great comparison! a6700 for me.

[@thefilmalliance]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shaw927]

There is no doubt that the a6700 is an underrated camera. Many performances have surpassed the full-frame cameras of the same level. It is small and light, and the most important thing is the price. I have always used the full-frame before. The a6700 is the first super35 camera I bought.

[@thefilmalliance]

Yes, I also tested overheating and got over an hour and a half in 4K 24. It’s amazing

[@Arcticfox7]

You will end up bringing both FF and 6700 everywhere. Save yourself a headache and stick to one system

[@nickdrexler-art]

did you experience overheating on the a6700 with video?

[@jasm0ahn547]

What is that filter thingy on the end of the Lense you're filming with??

[@Dave-ht7dx]

One big limitation is the lenses you use. Second is your limited video genre; agreed, posting to YT, one cannot see much difference.

[@thefilmalliance]

Yes, exactly. Thanks

[@deeppc]

great video! But will wait for a7 C II :))

[@IggyCreates]

Great video but I don’t think the a6700 has dual iso like fx30 due to some limitation. Can you source where you found this info?

[@thefilmalliance]

This was an assumption due to it being the same sensor as the FX30 but I could be wrong

[@bilbof4854]

Hello, can anyone help. Im moving from canon to sony. Last camera was 5d mkii and last acitve was 7 years ago. Planning to comeback but im aiming between a73 or a7c or a6700 and i never used any of sony camera. Which one should i get for event indoor low light run n gun + potrait shots. Also interested on video making as a hobby. How about lenses between apsc body and ff . Is there any differences in between lenses budget? And sorry about bad explaination english is not my first language 🙏🏻

Thats actually a great question. I created a camera quiz to help you figure out which camera is best for what you are using it for. Have you taken it yet?

[@FabienSurYouTube]

Thank you for this video!! I just bought the Sony A6700 with the kit lens (16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 PZ) and I don't even know if I should get the Tamron 17-70MM F/2.8 or the Sigma 18-50MM F/2.8 DC DN CONTEMPORARY. I need an "all-in-one" lens for weddings filmmaking that's good in low light. What would you buy in my case ? (I don't really care about the size or the price of the lens, but more about the image quality, focus breathing, etc). Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

[@thefilmalliance]

The kit lens will suit you perfectly. It’s really not all that bad, that’s why I had to include shots I got with it. Did you see my kit lens shots?

[@FabienSurYouTube]

@thefilmalliance Yes i've seen your shots, the kit lens is good. The only bad thing in video (for me) is the aperture that is not constant, so you need to play with your ISO when you zoom to compensate the lost of luminosity. Apart from that, this kit lens is really good, compact, lightweight, and stabilised (Optical SteadyShot) for handheld shooting. Thanks a lot for your answer ! 🙂

[@EfrainSalinas-sl3xy]

Do both cameras have WB lock? Thanks

I have experienced the a6700 to be noisy. And unfortunately I can hear it on my video recording. Have you experienced it? Thanks for a good video.

Perhaps the stabilization. I had this on my Sony ax-53. put an external mic on. Can be any. Or the quite cheap Ecm-g1.

[@thefilmalliance]

Do you mean image noise or audio noise?

I found a a7c for less 1000 dollars is it worth getting it in 2024

[@Cthames123]

I am already an A7C owner, and I got myself an open box, (64 shots), silver top, model with the kit lens for $1200 USD during a post Christmas sale(Jan2024). Don’t know the condition of your sub $1000 A7C, but for the joy I have had and the terrific images it has returned me, if I didn’t have one I’d buy with both hands at sub $1000, (assuming it was in good condition).

[@ReshaTech]

a6700 or a7iii? which one?

[@hellofath]

A6700. A7III is way too old.

[@charmerci]

Nice vintage Yamaha receiver!

[@thefilmalliance]

Thanks my cool nephew gave it to me

[@redsox7897]

Nice a6700 features but very noisy even at 3200 iso for photos. A7C images are clean up to 6400 iso. Great for indoor shots without flash like in museums, train stations, restaurants etc.

[@thefilmalliance]

Good observation. Yes that full frame A7C produces less noise at higher ISOs which makes it great for low light

🤣🤣 But honestly, All A6700 has over the A7C is the New AI stuff which isn't that different. I mean A7C is already more than enough on that autofocus, It's also same price and to get crop frame lenses, you'll be stuck with mediocre glass. Getting the full frame from the start is the best choice. I got 18mm 2.8 Rokinon that is pretty awesome in all vlog situations thanks to the full frame low light capabilities. That lens is like 230 $ or something Let's see how such a lens will do after the crop factor and the smaller sensor on an A6700. And i don't have to even talk about how portable and light weight is this setup or how cheap is that lens yet so sharp and fast at focus. Throw that 18mm on A6700 and you have 27mm and noise. A6700 is DOA @@thefilmalliance

[@Cthames123]

@@jaymills1720the cost of Full frame (lenses and bodies), being more expensive than APSC is less of a factor here with these two cameras, as you can find a used (excellent condition full frame A7C), at an almost break even or slightly lower price than an analogous A6700. For lenses If you’re talking only about $100-$200 price diff in lenses for just one or 2 lenses, the argument isn’t tooo strong for cost savings APSC vs FF. The cost diff becomes more of a factor if you’re buying many lenses over time. I went with the full frame A7C myself, and while I wonder if the grip of the A6700 would be more comfortable to hold, or if I would have enjoyed the handheld video stabilization more with the A6700, the fantastic full frame images, (even in low light), that I wouldn’t have otherwise gotten really dispel those doubts. I have a gimbal, which offers superior video stabilization to take up for the hand held video stabilization deficit of the A7C vs A6700, for those times I want it and catalyst browse. Other than that for me, While I’m tickled by the thought, I can’t see how I’d ever really go with the A6700 over my A7C.

[@Arcticfox7]

Stick to FF unless you're willing to bring both cameras and their lenses everywhere you go. Not gonna be guessing if I'm going to be shooting video or stills, so having both is just a headache. A73 is not big or heavy, and it takes amazing life-like natural looking photos. Canon's got Sony beat in every dept anyway, from amazing touch controls to beautiful, true to life footage.

4Fun & Games: Let's guess only 1% of 15,000 viewers purchase a Sony a7cII at $2,000 and the same number another 1% purchase the Sony a6700 at $1,400 dollars. So, if the affiliate marketing rate is at 2%, then total affiliate sales to the site owner would be: $6,000 bucks for the Sony a7cii sales to the site owner & $4, 200 for the Sony a6700 sales. So if this conservative guess holds at all in anyway-shape-or form the Magic Magician "Creator" could ring up the cash register for $10,200. Amazing, huh?
