I have watched several videos on the a6700, and this is by far the best!! I am a disabled senior citizen photographer. I have been shooting with the a7RIV along with a number of heavy full-frame lenses. It’s getting harder and harder to carry the gear. I recently made a trip to Australia from the US with a 30lb backpack. It was way too much to carry. I have no choice other than to reduce the weight. The 6700 looks like the best option.

Wow. You are THE best! A well deserving Sony ambassador! This review saved my bank from going broke. I was about to order Sony ZV-E1. I am now leaning on the 6700! You presented an awesome about of pro to buy the 6700! It will my first APS-C Sony body! Thank you very much.

This is one of the best video I have ever seen about a6700 and even sony alpha aspc system.

Thank you Mark. I don't know why I waste my time watching other reviews.

Thx Mark for another insightful and informative video! I love your approach to these - your 6400 one convinced me to go with it and it’s been the best camera I’ve ever had! This looks amazing- not quite ready to upgrade yet but this will certainly be on the shortlist! I can imagine a lot of a6xxxx users trading in their bodies for this when it’s available. Thx again - your videos are so insightful and amazingly useful in helping device if a camera is the right choice for you. Your guides are invaluable as well to help get the most out of the system and your lens recommendations have helped me shape my camera bag.

This video is great and very informative. Thank you!
Will you be producing a a6700 ebook ?

super detailed with all those prices, sizes and weights, AWESOME video 👏

Excellent video!!1 Can you discuss overheating if a problem in 24P for interviews? Ty

Excellent review - thank you. I'll definitely be upgrading from my a6400 as I shoot a lot of video also and am not interested in going full frame. All 3 of my Sony lenses have OSS. Does IBIS work with OSS, or is it either one or the other?

[goodday]

Hi Mark! Thank you for your video! Do you have any recommendations on which lens would be good do do a video podcast and decent photography?

Nice review. Macro photos are just insane. Do you think that i need to upgrade from a A6500 to the A6700 ? Thank you.

I share your obsession with photo kit weight and size, Mark. This is why never went for a full frame, not even the a7c, and I still use my a6500. Not for much longer. My dreams came true, finally, in the form of the a6700. Well, 99% true. I wish they kept the small pop up flush in it. I know, most people poo poo it for useless but I dare to disagree. Great review of Sony gear as always. Thanks.

Superb presentation Mark, I have a Nikon D850 - but very heavy with lens for travel. I am looking for the best compact camera available to date, I came across your presentation on the A6700 and almost ticked all the boxes. One Question is the pros of the APS-C is much lighter, cheaper and more reach in the lenses. If I wanted a full frame Sony equivilant to the A6700 which one would you recomend?

[Jonathantuba]

Well I am a wildlife photographer with the wonderful A1 and 400 GM, but there are times I want to travel light so the A6700 with a 70-350 lens is very tempting. At just over 1kg in weight I could carry almost everywhere including on business trips. Amazing it is a lighter set up than the Micro four third, although having considerably larger sensor.

Hi Mark. Thank you once again for a highly detailed video, that helps consumers make informed decisions about photography gear and photography itself. I just received my a6700 over the weekend and tested it. Coming from the a6400 which certainly worked well for me for the last 3 years, I did find that it was time to upgrade due to the AI, which I thought would give me an edge up for bird and wild life photography. I must say that it really does help and my pictures are in focus much more than before. Though one question that I would like to ask, if I may is that I noticed that when using eye detect in the photography mode, when a bird/animal is behind tree branches etc, the camera has a harder time focusing, as well as when you have let say a group of ducks it gets confused as to which duck you are trying to capture. Do you in these cases come out of wide and going to spot etc.. to help the camera focus better on the subject? Thanks again!

Thanks for the Great Review. I am still struggeling to upgrade from my a6400. I am mainly shooting landscapes, street and Wildlife from time to time.
Do you think it would make sense or better safe the money?

[jordiolbe]

Nice review Mark, i'm trying to lighten my backpack too but for wildlife photography sometimes is not possible, currently I'm using the Sony A7 IV and the Sony 200-600mm G but I'm thinking that maybe that Sony a6700 + the Sony 100-400mm GM will give me the same reach with a more compact setup for taking my camera while hiking in the mountains, what do you think about that combo? Also, do you think the rolling shutter when silently shooting birds in flight will be worse in the a6700 than the A7IV? Thanks in advance
