Alpha 6700 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Camera

The Sony A6700 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a travel-friendly hybrid camera that excels at both photography and videography. It strikes a great balance between performance and portability, making it ideal for content creators, vloggers, and hobbyists alike.The user interface is very intuitive, and what’s especially helpful is that each menu option includes an in-camera explanation of what the feature does—perfect for beginners and experienced users who want quick clarity without reaching for the manual.Battery life is impressive for casual use. I’ve gone out for a few hours shooting photos and barely saw any battery drain. For those planning to use it mainly for photography, this camera won’t let you down in terms of endurance.In terms of performance, the A6700 sits at the high end of APS-C cameras and can easily be used both casually and professionally. If you’re looking for a strong vlogging camera, this could be it. The kit lens is usable in good lighting, but if you pair it with the Sony 15mm f/1.4 or 11mm f/1.8, you’ve got a lightweight setup capable of excellent low-light video and sharp, vibrant photos.There’s a lot to love about this camera, but to keep it simple: if you want a compact system that delivers high-quality photos and video, the Sony A6700 is definitely worth it.

The Sony Alpha a6700 completely changed the way I shoot because the image quality and autofocus are on another level. It’s compact enough to carry everywhere, but it still feels powerful and professional in every situation. The 16-50mm lens is a great all-around addition that makes switching between photos and video effortless.

I have a few thousand pics and the more I use it the more I love it.

I have an a6400 I bought in 2021. Great camera, but since i am into image stacking I finally upgraded to the latest from Sony; the a6700 in July 2024. First thing I did with the camera was update to v1.03 of the firmware. I do extreme macro pics with a 10x microscope objective and a Canon 100mm Macro Lens as a "'tube" lens with a Canon bellows mad e in the 90s. Unfortunately, the in-camera focus bracketing won't be of any use for extreme macro work since Sony focus bracketing uses the auto-focus of the Sony lens to step through the depth of field for each frame rather than physically moving the camera on a rack. However, it WILL be good for other non-macro images like a bowl of fruit or product picture like of a watch or for landscapes. Attached is a stacked image and one frame from the middle of the stack. Frames using Sony 90mm G lens. You can see the stacked image is sharp all across the image. I set the a6700 to take 50 frames. Next will be to do some landscape pics.VIDEO: I don't do much video, but I did run some tests. In 1080p the camera ran until I got bored; about two hours. No overheating. Unfortunately, at 4k30p the camera shut down after ELEVEN minutes of recording...there ARE aftermarket fans to deal with this. One made by SmallRig. Note the a6700 has the same 26MP sensor and processor as the Sony Cinema FX30. The FX30 has a built in fan...The NOT SO GOOD: Don't like the on/off switch. It's a bit funky. Should have left it the way it was on the a6400.THE BAD: I do NOT like the way the LCD articulates. I cannot just tilt the LCD up or down. Instead it has to be rotated to the left and then tilted up or down; as it sticks out four inches. NOT good. Sony should have left it the way it was in the a6400. With the a6700, we now have the LCD sticking out the left side into the air whereas before it was in close with the camera. The only advantage is if something is occupying the hot-shoe; now the LCD is not blocked when viewed from the front. Oh well.More to come.UPDATE 9/3/2024: Uploaded an image of fruit that was stacked. Using the focus bracketing mode. set to "narrow" step and 40 frames, but only 20 frames were needed with this image. see how it is sharp throughout the image; 1/4sec f4.5 80 ISO. Used Helicon focus to stack the images. Works great!UPDATE 9/10/2024: Uploaded images stacked pf watch, Apple with Ruler, and a Sony lens. Works great. All taken at 1/40 f1.4 w/Sony 24mm GM lens. 80 frames and set to "narrow". Helicon Focus "method A" to stack images.My mistake with the a6700 purchase is I bought it sight unseen and didn't do my due diligence. Found out the LCD only flips/pivots to the left and does NOT tilt up or down like in the a6400. Tilt is needed when using at waist level or overhead. This SUCKS since now the LCD is not on the same axis as the lens. Makes for VERY awkward use!. AND NO I AM NOT going to buy an add-on display!. I THOUGHT it did BOTH like the a7R V...screwed again! Now wanting for the a6800 with a PROPERLY articulated LCD. like the a7RV.ToDo: Take some landscape pics using the focus bracketing...UPDATE 10/16/2024: As I use the camera more, I am finding bugs. firmware installed is v1,03.Bug #1, Bluetooth Aodelan RMT-P1BA fails to pair. This remote works fine on my a6400. Got another RMT-PB1A from a different seller. It paired and works fine w a6700. Hoorah!Bug #2, auto-naming of directories when using focus bracketing to put each group of frames in its own subdirectory FAILS. For ONE bracket shot, camera creates the sub-dir for the bracket's pics, but then forever puts additional pics in same directory...needs to be FIXED Mr. Sony!Issue To note: When using focus bracketing, since the subject is stationary/still, do not use the mechanical shutter! Set camera to electronic shutter. A bracket of 75 frames will add SEVENTY FIVE to the shutter count, and for the stationary image rolling shutter is not a problem, so no need to use the mechanical shutter. Note the shutter count is used to help determine the camera's resale value; tracks wear and tear on the mechanical shutter All of these pictures are focus bracket frames except the last watch picture, and they are stacked using Helicon Focus. The first image of the PCB is an original frame. The second PCB image is a stack of 75 frames. The watch picture is 40 frames. Last watch pic is a single picture at f22, 1/2 sec, 6400ISO. Note the detail in the stacked image which is lost with the image at f22 because of divergence at small f-stop (which is why we use focus bracketing and image stacking).If there were only a way to upgrade the LCD to the one in the a7RV which tilts and flips I would be happy...it truly IS an issue especially taking a picture of a room where the camera needs to be at 1/2 the height of the ceiling to prevent rectilinear distortion.

The Sony Alpha 6700 completely exceeded my expectations. As a hybrid shooter, I wanted something lightweight that could handle both high-quality stills and serious video work — and this camera nails it. The 26MP back-illuminated sensor delivers beautiful, sharp images with impressive low-light performance, and the AI-powered autofocus is next-level — fast, intelligent, and dead accurate for both people and pets.The real surprise for me was the video quality. 4K60 (oversampled from 6K) looks stunning, and having 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, S-Log3, and a flip screen in such a small body makes this a legit tool for content creators and vloggers. The body feels durable yet compact enough to travel with, and the updated grip and new front dial make handling more intuitive than previous models.I’ve used it for street photography, YouTube content, and family events, and it hasn’t let me down once. If you want pro-level features without the full-frame size or price, the a6700 is one of the best APS-C cameras out there right now.

The item was delivered in a efficient manner and was packaged well.

This camera is perfect for an amateur who wants to move away from a camera phone to have more control over taking beautiful photos. It is compact and easy to carry on one’s travels. I recently used this on a 10 day trip to Italy and took over 1000 photos with no concerns on battery life. I also like the way it can connect with your phone for GPS and cloud storage.

Excellent for low light superior video quality with kit leansCanon needs deep work1080p videos are already great

Perfeita, chegou antes da data prevista, equipamento original de qualidade, eu estou muito feliz e agradecida.

I received the camera with plastic cover opened and and tape on it, I immediately returned it

The camera itself is amazing but for some reason the Amazon packaging was atrocious. They put the camera box inside of a bigger box with no padding. The camera was banging against the insides of the Amazon packaging.The camera is perfect though, I would argue it is the best value for money you can have. Whatever feature you would want in your camera, this one has it. Portability, stabilization, advanced auto-focus, easy to understand menus, flip touch screen, 10-bit colors, s-log, great for photos, great for videos and multiple options for wired/wireless connectivity.

I am so happy with this camera. It is a huge leap from my previous camera. I only had it two days, and have already printed and framed two photos. The quality is outstanding. It takes some time to learn the functionality but youtube helps.

I've had the a6000 for many years but the a6700 is a game changer. You won't be disappointed. I am blown away with the features along with the built in ai that makes the focus tracking so incredibly easy it's beyond words. Sony has addressed all of the old issues of the old a6000. Much better battery life, better menus, 4k 120fps video and soooo much more. Well done sony!!!
