I pre-ordered this to switch from DSLR soon as I saw the specs and completely blown away. Excellent camera! I've got some great shots with this little camera.

Lovely video bro. This camera is what mirrorless started out to be. Now in it's 7th gen form this lineup finally has got there. Coupled with the amazing lens options it's one heck of a desirable cam❤❤

I sold my stunning a6600 for a R7 (beautiful camera) but the other day I tested an a6700 and I just re-fell in love with Sony’s apsc cameras. They’re just lovely in my hands, but most of all sensor quality and AF performace, mindblowing for just an apsc. Nice video.

The r7 is amazing I wanted to purchase it so bad however canon has the most restrictive lens mount.

Absolutely loving the specs and ergo of this camera. As an Apsc Nikon z50 shooter i have grown out of it, However still looking for the small form factor of apsc bodies. As Nikon are taking their time with an upgrade of the Z50 and not too many lenses to experiment creativity with, i think im sold on selling the Z50 ans putting the money towards the A6700.

Great video Curtis. I’ve been considering getting an APSC camera as a second camera and one to take on travels given the smaller build and cheaper cost. Think I might have to get one of these! Thanks for the info!

Daammmnn...... Never seen your videos before, but that first shot, the perfect amount of depth of field, Slightly offset shot, with that little bit of golden hour color grading.........that's a masterpiece (And knowing that's London, no way the sky is that beautiful) Might be the best shot I've ever seen for a vlog

Dude. What a good video. Paying attention to those things you are improving now. Good job!

Stunning picture quality. Absolutely stunning.. I have been tip toeing around from buying this thing for months. I think it's time I bought it.. Very good video btw.

Uplifting, fast paced, credible review, Curtis. Smooth! Good follow up to prior vid. Is the unit in this vid your own, or the borrowed one? Recently purchased this model. Noted the red “soft button cap” on your shutter - nice touch😊. Love the ergonomics, and front dial makes all the difference. Video button can be a custom button. No joy stick, but you can assign a custom button to reposition the focus point to a (previously) registered location (kinda like center pressing a joystick). Can be a chore to assign custom settings to memory slots (1,2, 3, e.g.) because each memory bank retains the default settings. So, for instance, if you turn off AF assist light in a PASM set, it’s still on in memory 1,2,3 and M1, M2, M3 and M4. Cheers!

I think I have decided to upgrade to this from my 6400 instead of going FF. I love my lenses and the 6400 has severed me very well for the few years I've had it. Down the road if my photography turns into more on the professional side then I will switch to FF. I only do photography and no video at all so hearing your review, especially as a 6400 user like you are, makes me feel like it's the right decision for me.

I know this is a few months old but I’m looking to pick up this camera for Sports Photography & Music Video Filmmaking.. I would use it for a variety of other things too and the versatility is what draws me to it. Would you say this is a good fit for Sports Photography, would the Sigma 18-50mm be good enough or should I also look towards the Viltrox 75mm as someone mentioned above. Or would you reccomend a completely different camera for Sports Photography & Music Video Filmmaking altogether?

Upgrading from a Canon 70D. I will most likely order this camera in the near future. This camera does it all for me. It's perfect for my usecase. Also, with a 7artisans adapter, I can keep using the lenses I still have and buy lenses for Sony E-Mount later on when I have the money for that.

I have the Lumix GH6. I had sony mirrorless cameras in the past. Those are more compact than the GH6. Someday, I might grab the a6700. Its easier to travel with that camera. The GH6 does have a fan, which this camera does not have for shooting long videos. It helps with keeping the camera cool and not overheat.

I'm just only here to say again - your positive energy is f positive! Love your content Curtis. I'm gonna buy Pro Max to experience the log vids. I saw it's similar like editing in Lr.

The viltrox 75mm f 1.2 is a beast I don't ever use my sigma 56mm 1.4 any more

Is that red shutter button a stick on? (3M?) looks cool

Most of the time I'd use this camera for video and mostly in HD. I want the 18-135 lens option. However when used for photos do you have suggestions for a multi interface flash and a suitable lens shade? So far as a mic goes I am already using an ECM-B1M on a Sony camcorder.

I do like my a6700, and it had none of the overheating problems that have been talked about. I have owned it now for nearly two months. The only annoyance is that I have owned several of the Sony a6000 series cameras and have lost the eye cup at least once on most of them. Today, I was over at Kew Gardens taking some shots and true to form, my eye cup was starting to come off my a6700. A small niggle and don't have this problem on my a7iv or a7siii.

hi curtis, great video! is the a6700 autofocus a game changer over a6400? I got from the video it's a really good upgrade over a6400, but would the number in focus of shots taken really significantly increase? in short I am trying to understand if this better autofocus can worth $1000 (if I sell the a6400 and buy the a6700 body) . I want to separate hype and edge scenarios from actual miss rate on the street. background on me to allow you write a better recommendation: I am not into videography so I wouldn't take advantage video improvements. in general I use the camera most weekends if weather allows me, I am not a professional since I don't earn for my photos, but I am not a casual dude using the camera just for holiday either.

For me, the most important features of the 6700 compared to the 6400 are the stabilization and the fact that it does not lose its autofocus in digital zoom. The minuses would be that it does not have a built-in flash, and I like the flip-out screen more. 1000€ more is not worth it. I will remain at 6400.

Don't underestimate just how good (fantastic) this camera is. This camera will give you excellent photos of family events or travel. I do it all the time. I prefer the aps-c camera due to its size, small lenses and over lower cost. The smaller lenses are just as good as the big full frame lenses, plus you have the added advantage of being able to use FF lens. This is a baby A7R5 in a smaller body with an aps-c sensor, which is the same one found in the FX-30 cinema camera by Sony. After 30 years of shooting film cameras, I have to say you will get better and sharper pictures with the a6700.

The form factor is ideal and perfect for who it is aimed at. All APS-C cameras tend to be smaller then Fullframe equivalents and that's not just unique for Sony cameras.

Some of the features you want this a6700 t9 have like the joystick is the exact reason why this is different than the a7 lines (besides apsc of course). If it had all those features you'd like to see, there would be no reason to get it and instead stick to FF A7 line.

The Fuji also offers the 6,2k30, but lacks autofocus quality which I assume is very useful for street and travel work, especially as a beginner which I am. Is there anything I might be missing?
