We've spent the last year putting the Sony A6700 through its paces. Does it come out on top as the best value camera that Sony offers?

The a6700 is not a good camera, it is an exceptional camera. One note is that it has the chipset and AI chip from the A7R5 and that gives it a huge advantage over many cameras. It's focusing locks on people, planes, animals, birds, trains and automobiles all the way down to insects. It is also capable of producing professional quality images and videos. It's an amazing camera backed up the entire Sony ecosystem, including every e-mount lens.

Pair it with Viltrox Pro series and you get FF photo quality at significantly lower cost and superb low light performance. These killer lenses weight a bit more than average APSC but they are F1.2 light amount which helps a ton. I would only go FF if I find myself doing lots of low light often at this point.

This is my first “real” camera. I love it!

6700 is a great camera but don't know what you're talking about re. image quality improvements over a6500. Both cameras have virtually identical image quality

You can find the s5ii for around the same price. After trying both, I went with the lumix. However, I did enjoy the form factor of the a6700. Great video!

Nice review!! I’m very happy with my Sony a6700! It’s been a work horse for me! I believe the Sony 18-105 f4 does have stabilization. It has OSS. I’m thinking about grabbing this lens but I’m also considering in getting the sigma 18-35 f1.8 with the Mc-11 adapter. Decisions decisions lol

The a6600 grip was good but this is even better. It still requires a plate at the bottom to prevent the dangling pinky.

How do the raw files hold up over the A6500? Any improvements or is it marginal at best?

My body (probably IBIS) made “fan” noise. Is it normal for that body? Thx.

Nah A6500 is an amazing camera with image quality - it still holds weight today
