Can you make this camera work well in low light with some special kind of low light lens? Or is that physically not possible with lenses? I'm assuming low light benefits are done by the processing or some sensor.

About two years ago I purchased an A6300! Finally needing new lenses with it. 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 and 28-70 f3.5-5.6 Camera does everything I need to! Paid $550~ for everything including the lenses, Sd cards. case etc. Feel like I got a good deal and that the ENTIRELY a6XXX lineup used is a GREAT introduction to cameras for both photography and videography. Love it.

Great job on the video Jason! Thanks for making it.

Wow, thanks for the first minute of this video as I was debating on upgrading my 6400 but I only do photography. Maybe next year I will upgrade but definitely not as high on my list as it was before I watched this video. Thanks again

Thanks for another fun and informative video!

I'm birding with sony 70-350mm and + 200-600mm. Autofocus compared to my old a6000 is huge upgrade. Animal/bird eye mode really works. Faster mode switch roll for saved settings is so useful both video and stills. Happy a6700 user here.

Jason I have an a6000 and an a7r; the a7r died and I was going to purchase an a7iv, but I am pondering the purchase of the loaded a6700. The multi touch screen, focus bracketing, and the Ai chip got me sold.

I have the A6600 and I love it, so I appreciate videos like this bro. I have been wondering if I should upgrade.

OMG! I was seeing your apsc recommended from 3 years ago,and the newest recommend just pop out😂

I'm upgrading from the a6500 that I own. As I am getting older and my eyes get more and more outta whack, the advanced auto focus features will greatly assist me.

Picked up an a5100 and a 35mm 1.8 takes great portraits. Been waiting on this release. Better video and autofocus make this worth it over the ZVE10 or a6600. Looks like a solid upgrade but its definitely true with any a6X00, glass is important.

Thank you kind Sir. Great energy and information.

After testing, it feels like a really nice camera, especially if you require both photo and video capabilities. If you only need video capability and do not want a viewfinder, the FX30 is unquestionably the better pick.

A6600 owner that only does photography - I’ll be upgrading because of the new front control dial which will now let me have the same aperture/shutter control as with my other full frame Sony cameras.

Top notch review for a6700. Thanks Jason 🎉

Great video, Jason! I’m still on the fence. I bought an a6100 last year just to take pictures for a family event and then fell love. I do about 90% photos, and figured I’d have to get an a7R series just to keep the lenses I bought rather than getting an a7IV and a whole new lens set so I don’t lose MP quality. But the a6700 really is enticing and cheaper than a 7IV or 7R.

Big upgrade!

A6400 and A7Riv owner. If you need the new goodness (AI, menus. video, etc.) and the "reach," the alternatives are the A6700 or A7Rv. A used A7Riv is a great option as mentioned below witha bigger, more comfortable 26 mp aps-c camera or a 61 mp ff, IBIS and the A7 (except C) viewfinder. It does use the larger battery and connects with usb-c, 2 UHSii cards slots. But, I'd agree, upgrading to the A6700 isn't for everybody. OTOH, if starting out and one can afford it, I'd skip over the earlier A6xxxs to it.

i'm so expecting for your next review, especially the follow focus ability when connect to external monitor, both by hdmi and typec, thanks a lot

hi this may be a dumb question but the S. cinetone is that straight out of camera is is that graded.?

How about vs the A6500 Va? I have ordered on for the auto focus and hopefully better image stabilization as I have slight hand tremors.

amazing video !

It's a no brainer, its a must have! 26MP, 4k120 and new colors. Day one buy for me and many others

Got 6600.. Sold it to pre-ordered A6700. The A6600 now can be sold 2nd hand at a good price. I only need to add around 30% more to get A6700 for all the good features for a hybrid shooter like me.

I bought my a6000 in 2016 and I still love it. I don't shoot video, so I couldn't care less about that. It does everything I need it to do, so I have no need to upgrade. I would rather spend my money on lenses.

Bought the a6000 and started photography when it first came out. Bought another one in 2022 and upgraded to GMII and G glass and it was a game changer. Even the video is pretty good on a tripod. However, I ordered the a6700 for the AI autofocus, better flip screen, and more stable handheld video. Probably going to get an 11mm lens soon and try some vlogging. But you can bet, I'll have my a6000 or two close by. Also, the regular 70-200mm GMII gets good macro shots when cropped in a bit.

I do a lot of “professional” photography and videography with my a6400. But for me, the autofocus modes in 4k are the killer feature. The 6400 doesn’t have that at all and the missed focus is a real pain.

The AI improvements in the 6700 are amazing. Like, it's doing AI right just in the background making quality of life improvements like autofocus speed and tracking but keeping creative decisions with the photographer so more keepers

I probably shoot more with my a6000 then my a6600 but the flip out screen is a killer feature for me. I'm upgrading because of the advantages it give for shooting vertical.

@jasonvong would you recommend the A6000 camera as a good place to start, I’m on a budget and want to start a small portrait/event business but funds are low. The single card slot does bother me !

The main problem is the pricing in Europe... a6700 without kit costs 1699 compared to a6400 without kit for around 849.

I really appreciate you’re not one of those “you should upgrade because it’s soooo cutting edge!”. Short video full of important info.

finally was waiting for someone to make this vid been trying to figure out if i want the a6400 to save more money for lenses but hate the tilt screen then i want the a6700 but its more of a bigger budget i think ill just hold off till i can get the a6700

Just a FYI for you purchasers of the A6700, Sony has wisely implemented the UBS-II for the double-row of contacts for the more expensive SD-cards.

I feared that you would overpraise the A6700, but found that your rewiuw was balanced and decent. I'm "only" a still photographer so I stick with the older A6xxx models in RAW. Thanks!

You spoke about the colour science. It already improved with the A6400. So how is A6700 directly compared to the A6400. Does AWB now work flawless?

Yes, I've got this a6100 and am complainig for the not flip out screen (which I'd like for vertical photos) and the lack of in-body image stabilisation. Do you have any suggestion for the first issue? Thanks for the video..

I have had an a6300 ever since it came out, having upgraded from the NEX-5 and a6000. I have been waiting for a camera with IBIS plus a weather resistant body and significant upgrades for some years now. I have been spoiled with respect to stabilization and weather resistance by my Olympus EM5 and wanted something similar in the SONY APS-C line lineup, especially considering that the Premium G lenses SONY has released for APS_C don't have OSS. The a6600 did not really offer enough over the a6300 to make it worth my while to upgrade but this a6700 seems to be a major upgrade in terms of the auto-focus, the flippy screen, the skin tone control, better IBIS, improved colours, and the ergonomics (touch screen) over the a6300. The bigger grip does not matter to me because of the way I tend to hold the camera and lens (mostly in the palm of my left hand to shoot, on a wrist or shoulder strap to carry). All in all, a good upgrade even though I am 90 percent a stills shooter with the a6300. I use other cameras for video. I will get the a6700 as soon as it becomes available again in Canada. They seem chronically sold out for now, even on Amazon. Must be selling well ! Then I will finally spring for the 16-55 F 2.8 G lens to go with it.

I recently thought about which one to restart my digital photography journey with. I lost my first digital entry camera at a P!zzer!a (EOS M200) and have been using film since then. I first got super hyped about the 6700 bc newer, more features, etc but eventually went for the 6600 and even that is absolutely more than I can fully make use of. MPB is great for buying tested used gear too in Europe at least and I ended up saving so much money that I could spend on the lenses instead. I do art and design digitally for a living so I´m into visual nuance and working on images digitally by trade and I couldnt be happier with the results I get from the older and used camera.

Share your thoughts, I’m also thinking of upgrading from a6300.

24mp APS-C has really hung around for longer than expected and almost all the enhancement has come on the video side. I think Sony is going to position the rumored A7C-R (with crop mode) as the camera to get for increased APS-C photo resolution w/ IBIS, etc. - so even though I'm considering picking up a Sony crop body, I feel like I need to wait until we get the product updates later this year. I guess the good news is the 6100-6400 are only getting cheaper, so they'll be a no-brainer if the A7C-II/A7CR/??? doesn't offer me any big improvements.

I am on a tight budget so I was only looking at options under $1500. Would you suggest I get a used a6600 or a new a6700 for the new stabilisation and autofocus features?

I have literally been waiting for an a6600 successor to come out.... merely so it would drive down the price for a used a6600. But, now that I have seen the reviews for the a6700, I am planning to get that one instead. When I first started looking, the a6600 was about $1,100 to $1,200. Now that the a6700 has come out, a used a6600 has dropped to below $900, So, that means I would be paying a $500 premium for the a6700. But I still think it will be worth it. I had planned to use the a6600 for just longer 4k 30p recording, without needing to restart every 30 minutes (like with my A7R2). But now, I plan to use the a6700 for my everyday camera, and "reserve" my A7R2 for my "important" photos.
