Over time I have come to develop a great admiration for Mark's style of diving into the details, and talk about the things that most people want and care about. Mark and Arthur got to be the two best Guys for APS-C and all types of Sony Camera reviews out there. Genuinely appreciate all You Do.

Thanks for adding 1080p tests. It's so helpful!

Priceless review!
ZV for (pro-vlog) video, A67 (and a few lenses for the price of ZV) for a regular people.

Thanks for these thorough comparisons with the A6700--super helpful in making a (still-difficult) decision. Appreciate the work you do.

The color rendition and quality of the ZV-E1 is so great and true to life.

[iamakkkshay]

Really a tough choice but ZV E1 is like a Lamborghini engine in Suzuki chassis while A6700 is like a descent & well balanced Audi (family crossover suv) which is not the best but is surely dependable & durable for every situation over a longer period of time.

I will rather sacrifice for A6700 as my camera as it seems more sensible to me overall when I am going to be dependable on it for next 4-5 years.

Kudos to you for your very great and very practical, and no-nonsense, no-BS, reviews!

Also like the 1080p comparisons, as ironically enough, especially with Sony there are many cameras (basically all their previous APS-Cs, including the ZV-E10) where the 1080p is pure soft undetailed garbage (a 720p or 540p upsampled digitally to 1080p size). Compare that to the Panasonic S5 (or other, or M43 Panasonics) or to some Fujis, where the 1080p is crystal-clear 1:1 detailed (real detail, not oversharpening).

And thus it's nice to know that the a6700 (same as FX30) is decent, and the ZV-E1 is (same as FX3, A7S III; and also the A7 III in this regard) good regarding 1080p detail. Not necessarily Pana S5 good, but good enough maybe.

My a6700 arrived today!! (Sydney) to be honest right now I’m just having a good time setting it up with this bizarrely well put together menu system

[colinmichaelmusic]

I would say the best bang for the buck is going to be the ZV E10 ii...however now im going for the a6700, with 4k60 better rolling shutter and weather sealing..dont need the EVF but maybe i will learn to love it

[lennartlut]

Great video! Only few videos exist comparing the stabilization of the Sony 6700. well done!

[timgurr]

For my needs and already owning the a6500 the a6700 is the clear choice for me. I do more photos than videos and I’m not a blogger. The low light performance of the ZV-E1 is far superior than the a6700 (and a6500) but that’s about the only great advantage I see for what I need which can be compensated easily for photos with a flash. At the price difference the a6700 is the clear winner (and I already have APS-C lenses). Thanks for the great comparison. I keep thinking it may be time to upgrade to the a6700 but I think I’ll wait to see what happens with the a7Cii release.

[MartinLavie]

Great video again !
I think we’re all waiting for a long deep dive video about the A6700 as you did for the zve10.

I just got the ZV E1 following the price cut in the U.K.
My goodness, coming from APSC the image is stellar. S Cinetone straight out of camera, no messing, beautiful. Unit definitely has a more filmic look a smaller sensor cannot capture. Worth every penny so far, the low light is fantastic and the autofocus, I had it on insect and it was tracking a small bee even in flight.
Filming for 2 hours today, not continuous but a lot of footage and camera on nearly all the time, 4k 30 10 bit and it didn’t even feel hot. I’m perplexed by the cases of people saying it’s shutting off just on menus- defective units?

I personally do a lot of travel vlogging (mainly for others) & I shoot in bursts so the overheating was never a concern of mine - I'm also coming from my ZV-E10 & I prefer the ease of use during this learning curve of truly understanding my camera & I feel like a camera targeted at "Gen Z" dedicated for vlogging just makes the most sense. Most of the benefits the A6700 offers are photography based & I do more video than photo, so it was a clear win for me. The only downside is the price + lenses, it's gonna be tough finding good quality used FF lenses, but I love that B&H has a payment plan for purchases so I'll definitely go that route for anything too crazy. Love the channel though, keep up the amazing work.

Thanks Mark, been waiting for this "specific" comparison and the stabilisation tests. What I understood from another source is that on ZV-E1, for DAS, it upscales from 2.94K to 4K, but as you said, there was no perceivable loss. But I guess, your comparison pushed me really towards A6700.

[wayneslink]

i usually click like button first before watching your videos

[frankieinjapan]

Great comparison. The A6700 is a beast. I might be targeting this as my next camera. Thanks for all the coverage on it

[iorramgx]

Yeeees, i am waiting for this video right now 10 minutes ago, love you mark! From Brazil

[AllThingsFilm]

Great comparison. It is a tough choice. But, with my FX30 I think the a6700 would make more sense as a b-cam.

[andyelliott]

I ordered the a sixty seven hundred. Very excited to get it. Thanks again for a great video
