Sony a6700 Long Term Review

After 183 days of using the Sony a6700 I compare it to Canon, Nikon, and other Sony cameras. I also talk about design, ergonomics, performance, and my long term experience.

I bought 2 new cameras last year, and one was the Sony a6700. I talked with a friend that works with Sony and knows me. He knows that I have been involved with the APSC Sony Alpha series compact cameras since the a6000 and have a nice collection of Zeiss lenses for Sony e-mount APSC cameras, and he told me that this new camera was coming out with a new sensor that was Back Side Illuminated and would have significantly lower noise than any of the other APSC cameras that Sony has become rather famous for. I have to tell you that everything my friend told me to expect about this camera is true and it manifests itself in my (almost) daily use of this terrific machines. On top of the sensor, it's just put together so well. The other camera that I bought last year was the Leica Q3 and the two of these great machines can cover any situation and generate a more than competent image for antything you throw at either of them.

As someone who just switched from the A7 IV to the A6700, I recogize very much what you’re saying about not needing all of that stuff. I started with the a6300 then ”had to upgrade to fullframe” so got the A7 III, A7C and then A7 IV but realized that it doesn’t really matter to me who just want to take some pictures now and then and sometimes post on Instagram which a A6700 will do more than fine. Also, since I like to do some video, I like how the A6700 have a lot less rolling shutter issue than A7 IV. Anyway, great video!

Yes, as user of A6700. I think this camera is the best for next 3 years. Maybe 5 years to come
With price and quality that it offers. A6700 just a fantastic camera

I see myself hanging onto the a6700 for at least 3 years!

Thank you for the video! I'm actually thinking about getting one soon. I've been looking for a hybrid camera and I think A6700 is the winner for me.

It was in my hands literally days after release. Already I loved my a6600, the best little camera until the a6700 came out. It amazes me to this day. It is beyond perfect, it is incredible, it just blows my mind. Unless you need more megapixels, you will find this a better shooting camera than the A74. I bought its big brother, the A7CR and yet, I prefer using the a6700. This is a testament of how well designed this camera is.

Great video man. I shot with full frame lenses (11mm, 50mm, 24x70 GMII, 70x200 GMII and 200x600) on an a6000 then upgraded to the a6700. The a6700 is a jack of all trades and master of none. It's the best all around every day camera for phtography and video for most people. I'll probably buy another one later to replace another a6000.

dude I watched this video last night while I was falling asleep and I just have like a vague memory of your voice while I was falling asleep and now I'm like totally gonna watch it again... yeaaa dude

[fubisu]

Excellent review dude. Ever thought about going with FF, but ended up getting a6700. This camera is perfect for beginners, casual shootes or people who want a second camera or compact setup.

[spoonbang]

Subbed! Honestly thought you'd have 10k+ subs with this quality of content! Great video. Cheers!

I didnt think i wanted this camera but I'm looking for the perfect travel camera. I love my XS20. The images are crazy good, but i really do need something with weather sealing. I also have a few Sony APS-C lenses that I have not sold off from when I sold my a6600.

[jntechreview]

I've been using the A6700 for 5months now. Never regretted my choice!

[GregThurtle]

Just got my a6700 last month having used lots of the a6xxx series - great camera and agree with all your points!

[alphaartisan]

Nice review, as someone who just downsized cameras, I see the logic. Features are mostly missed in the imagination and in practice, the smaller size makes more sense.

[fictionfactory]

The a6700 will be my next purchase, arriving there from the a100, a300, a330, a77, a5100, a6000, a6500 and currently the a660.
I have one apsc lens which is the Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, the rest are full frame lenses, ready for when making the jump to FF but to be honest, the urge has never arrived.

The bump in MP isn't here nor there for me though the new articulating screen is welcomed and i'm with you on the card front. Never used any of my cameras for video, guess it maybe time to give it a go.

Interesting, well presented review and comment, thanks

[brandonr]

Mine gets delivered tomorrow! Coming from a Sony rx100 vii.

[elvinlawcc]

I love my a6700! Thinking of selling my ZVE10 and buy the second a6700. For client work I used to shoot with two cameras. Tired to change lens😃

[elvinlawcc]

Pair with the FE 20-70 F4G is fantastic!

[BehindTheNeedle]

Great review! I also use the A6700 and ZV-E1 combo for my YouTube production. Loving it.

I have used an A7RIII and A7III as a full time professional for years. "Downgraded" my A7III recently for an a6700. I never used my A7III except for the rare occasion I needed two cameras at the same time, it doesn't have much to offer over the A7RIII, so I usually just use that. But i've found that the a6700 has some huge advantages, even over my A7RIII. The new generation of autofocus tech in this camera is a huge upgrade. I feel like I get a lot more utility out of my prime lenses, especially my Sony 24mm 1.4 and 90mm macro. Only complaint is one card slot.
