Sony is just absolutely slaying with their apsc game lately. One thing that is imo one of the absolute best and most important features of it is actually its ibis. It just makes it so much more capable with everything thats not bright daylight.
@@mjsvitek I mean, you can get a7R series and use them in crop mode. It's even better because you get both the full frame sensor and aps-c mode, a better body and a dual card slot
@@mjsvitek i like those bodies a lot. if i have to do a extended shoot i just put a grip cage on it and make it more comfortable. the a6400 is my current main camera
You know what would be crazy? This camera with the 300mm f2.8 lens. That is effectively a 450mm f4 lens on a camera with crazy good AF and video capabilities and feather light and easily handheldable. Throw on a 1.4TC to make it become 630mm f5.6. Probably overheating after 3 minutes of 120fps 4k video, but oh well.
Great video! I like the perspective from a photographer who actually uses it and pushes its limits and is not just gear review. No one can look at your photos or footage and think that they will have an unusable piece of gear. That camera looks awesome I hope I can buy it one day!
Are you sponsored bu Arcteryx or something ? You have a LOT of different jackets from them :O :) Been looking at that brand but its hella expensive here in Denmark.
@@ollenilssonen Yeah they arent really cheaper in Sweden compared to Denmark which is really strange, cause most clothes are so cheap in Sweden compared to here. But thanks 👌
I looked at it as I like Sony but am going to replace my G9 with a G9ii because as a wildlife photographer I need good autofocus, high fps and rolling shutter that isn't bad
@wizardowlgenius7186 I actually have the A7M4 and looking for a second body, travel and for wildlife, can get that extra reach. I am debating between A7Cii which is a smaller A7M4, for $2200, or go for the A6700 (better grip, better rolling shutter, 4K 60 no additional crop so 26mp vs. 14mp for cropping the 33mp) for $1400!
The A74 is a good camera many use for videography. But it lacks the new tracking technology found in the a6700 and A7R5. If macro, insect and animal photography is something you like to do, the a6700 is a fantastic choice. I find it more satisfying than using a FF camera. I bought the A74 and sold it because the a6700 is a superior camera despite the smaller sensor.
@@ollenilssonen your welcome bro i follow u on instagram and i use the lumix g9 (60 photos per second.) If i move to sony what camera+lens should i get for a sub 1600 euro budget
You bought the camera already ? I’d suggest go out there and use it . Shoot with it . Practice more and you can have your own thoughts about it . Practice practice more .
The odd number a6000 series (6700, 6500 etc ) focus more on video upgrades while retaining most/all the photography features of the previous model. With this in mind I cant wait to see what the a6800 brings us. Better IBIS, new evf, new joystick, 2 cardslots and maybe even a new higher MP sensor and an increase in fps. If sony can nail these things the a6000 line will be insane.
Bought the A6700 last year but haven't tried it out much in favour of my full frame bodies. The camera was mainly intended for Macro use (focus stacking capabilities) and for video with a budget entry to 4K 120. Now, as the majority of the pictures I take are wildlife and the full frames has been "welded" to a 600mm f/4.0 GM with 1.4x TC the swap to the A6700 didn't get me exited until I decoupled the TC and mounted the camera directly to 600 mm (900mm f/4.0 Eqv). The results and general look of the images of birds in action was for me very pleasant surprising. I now have 900 mm f/4.0 without TC as previous 840mm f/5.6 on full frame. I have not seen any videos of matching the A6700 with the 600 GM and are planning do to one in the near future. Thanks for a interesting video
@@pentagramyt417 correct but I want to keep the ISO levels low and still have the reach. If the TC yields ISO3200, it will be ISO1600 on F/4 competing with the FF f/5.6 with the TC and 840mm. Have some more testing to do
Sony is positioning the 6000 series as a great secondary camera for A7/9/1 owners while being a great only camera for anyone in Beginner to enthusiast user,
Ive got setup a6700 with 200-600 and its great for wildlife quite light i can do handheld af is really good sometimes struggles with branches but like others. Most importatnt its quite afordable set
That's a great in-depth video and cover almost all the topics related to wildlife. I wanna know how's sony doing with firmware update with this a6700 ?
The a6700 is just all around an almost perfect ASPC camera, I just wish it had a slightly better LCD screen (1.8m like the XS20) and an second card slot. If it had those 2 things, I'd honestly use it for almost everything. It also has the highest dynamic range of any ASPC sensor, it's like 12.3 stops at iso 100, which is extremely good and in video it's 14 stops. As for the longer filming, Ulanzi makes a $30 fan accessory for the a6700 and it extends the filming time in 4k60 to almost 2 hours.
Yep, second card slot and that's all I could really ask for from a camera, I think. Especially now with some fast lens options like the 27mm 1.2 or 75mm f1.2 and the Sigma f1.4 range.
i like wildlife photography since i was 13 but i never had any camera , can you help me get one please it would be okay even if it is used one or anything please.
Great review Olle and nice footage, I recently sold my A7IV and bought an a6700 after trying it for a few months. I was looking for a light setup for travel photos and wildlife and with the Sigma 1.4 primes for APS-C and the Sony 100-400 I can have all I want in a small and light package 😁 One thing you may not know regarding when the Sony a6700 (as other mirrorless) focus on the background instead of the subject is that in the a6700 (in my Sony a7IV or Sony a9 this option don't exist) you can activate a manual focus override function that works all the time, this way, anytime you need to readjust focus while in autofocus mode, you can turn the focus ring and the a6700 changes automatically to MF until you stop moving the ring, is a great way to readjust focus manually when the camera needs a bit of help
Я давно хотел менять свою вторую камеру а7С на новую а7СII (есть ещё -а7IV) . Но....вы заставили меня задуматься, а6700 вот просто явно не хуже полнокадровой а7СII! Я думаю лучше...4К50р со всего сенсора это же очень круто! Я снимаю видео в основном....но фото то же важно! И ещё же есть тамрон 17-70 с f2,8 и СТАБИЛИЗАЦИЕЙ!
A shame the 6700 is almost as expensive as my a7IV. If it was cheaper, I could see myself getting is as a backup camera. But maybe I should just get a used a7iii for backup. They are still amazing cameras imo.
3:56 I was a long time A6000 user, after Nex 5R and at the time, liked the usability. Mainly because of video, I am now on X-h2s and I could never ever go back to a cam with practical no buttons. If one only shoot ONE TYPE, like sports, or portraits or kids, on in ONE type of video - this could be "ok". The X-H2s has 7 (seven) custom profiles, plus several buttons, e.g. for AF mode/+ eye/animal/etc, ISO, WB, .rec etc For me this = to - 6.2 open gate - DCI 4k 60 - DCI 4K 120 - 17:9 FHD 240 - BKT photo - panorama photo - pre-capture highframerate 15-40 FPS by the click of the turn. Plus the usual PASM/video, of course
Really can't decide between the A7iv and the A6700 at the moment to get with the 200-600mm Sony lens. Which has the best autofocus and is one SD port really a problem? Thanks
Olle! Hi! I'm trying to decide how to upgrade my gear (at the moment i have a Sony Zv E-10 and Sony 70-350), unfortunately due to my incomes i can only buy one object in the next 12 months and the choice is between the Sony a6700 and the Sony 200-600. So I'm looking for advices: more reach, or a viewfinder and better video options? I shoot mammals and birds in swamps and mountains.
@@ollenilssonen Hi and thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think you're right, furthermore cameras innovate much faster than lenses, so there will always be a new camera to buy and it's a purchase that can be postponed. Thanks again, have a good day!
I will like to see Sony make a high end Camera with their 40 megapixels sensor (which sits in Fuji cameras !), it will be great for Bird, Wildlife and Macro Photography ! I have two "A6700", because when I crop to APSC from Sony A7RIV Cameras then it is exactly the same as the 26 megapixels in Sony A6700.
I’m so unsure what to do. I used to own a7III paired with Sony 200-600. Loved it. I want to get another setup and I’m torn between a6700 and the a7III again. What would you do? I’ll be shooting everything. Wildlife, hiking, pets, portraits. Video and photo.
I use an A7RV and I am having a hard time justifying the purchase of an a6700 because the A7RV APS-C mode is the same as the a6700. That said, I would love a smaller form factor for travel. If sony had made a 30 megapixel APS-C sensor or incorporated a stacked APS-C sensor, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I have been thinking about a Sony 70-350 lens to save weight. I would love to see a comparison between the 70-350 and 100-400 GM on a 6700.
Thanks for the info about using the touchscreen to AF. I have an a7cii and have tried using the screen before when using the elf but it was very inconsistent and ineffective. I don't think I knew you could change the touchscreen area. It was set to Right 1/2. However I just changed this to Right 1/4 and now this works consistently and efficiently - a game changer for me.
Hey ! Pls if u have time...can u say wich sony ff camera enought for nature and Astrophotographie? I have canon but i want a 2. System. ( Canon for wildlife) . So wich systermcamera plus uktra wide objektiv is good for nature and nightphotograpy? Thx and have a nice day 🙏💪😁
Im thinking about buying a Fujifilm X-H2S with Fujifilm Fujinon XF 150-600mm as my first camera, i have very little experience so the tracking will be helping alot in the beginning. you think this will be a good choise ?
The main thing all the so called advancements in camera technology do is allow you to more easily get the same shots you used to have to work for. APS-C is really at it's best when used in as compact a format as possible and used with the more compact APS-C specific lenses. Otherwise, if the size and weight of a camera body and lenses don't matter to you then, except for the reach and lower cost of the APS-C camera, you might as well buy full frame. And, seriously, enough with the dual card slot stuff. Again, APS-C is best in a small form factor and that limits dual card capability. Besides, you're infinitely more likely to miss a shot due to a full card or a dead battery or a dropped camera than you are a card failure. Do they happen? Yes, of course. But almost all of them are related to trying to squeeze too many write cycles out, improper care or environmental abuse. Industry standards vary but 1 to 2 million hours between failures is common. And don't give me the important event business. If it's that important go buy a new card. They're cheap. The only pro I know who had a less than stellar wedding shoot because of gear issues was because he dropped his main camera and lens rendering them useless and shot the rest of the ceremony with his backup. But the photos already on the card in the dropped camera were just fine.
For landscape photography with this camera, what lens would you recommend? Could the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS Vario Tessar T be good? If that's OK, do I also need to buy an adapter? ...Or could you recommend something else (even cheaper)?
what does it mean "for fun" lol, you can easily do wildlife with that camera, and professional photography like sport or something with a7iv. Both can be done professionaly. That are different genres.
I also like the fact that the 26mp is something your not against, I asked a wildlife photographer who currently uses the A1 if he planned on getting the latest A9iii with the global shutter etc, but he instantly dismissed it due to only having 24mp and said he'd said till the next version of the A1 comes along. It's each to there own and about using what equipment is right for you, but to grumble at 24mp seems silly as Canon and Nikon's top spec DSLR camera's that I believe you can still buy from new at the £5k+ price tag only come with 20mp lol
As your most likely aware I'd imagine quality, especially with noise is going to depend on the glass too, if your using good quality G master glass etc should be better than using cheaper glass. I started on the a6000 and still have but rarely use these days mainly due to the rubber grip coming off it at the side and the batteries life with the old style batteries and the smaller grip. I just came back off holiday and took my old cheapish Tamron 18-200 vc apsc lens, and even in the sun of Spain some images look a bit noisy due to it only using the central part of my sensor on my a7iii. I would consider this as a replacement for the a7iii at some point as I'm just a hobbyist and the extra reach would be welcome especially on my 70_200 and 150_600 sigma sport lenses. Great video as always.
Kinda sad to see that my Pentax K70 from 2016 (24MP sony sensor) seems to have very similar noise characteristics as this camera (not sure about technicalities but in terms of acceptability of the image...around the 12k its just very hard to recover and above 6k it needs a lot of care in post)...but of course this camera is much more capable otherwise. With the viewfinder I find it weird that the center is still the norm...On my FF dslr I find annoying that i always smudge the screen with my face but as it is a dslr it isn't very practical for the viewfinder be elsewhere but with mirrorless it would be so much more comfortable for it to be on the side
the Axx00 lineup isn't pro-level which makes sense as to why they only have 1 SD card slot but how much would it cost to take out another small rectangle in the side and solder an SD card port to the PCB? I also have only had 3 SD cards fail me in 20 years and they were all PNY since then I have had Sandisk and a Samsung.
I have zvE1 for wildlife video but the pictures are very challenging … I was just researching this 6700 and I have a hard time to decide. Would this be a big compromise in video quality vs zve1?
I thought that only orcs have a tradition, in order not to jinx you, you need to knock on wood, well, even before that, spit 3 times over your left shoulder, as my grandmother taught)))) I hope the translator didn’t say anything bad))) All the best, thank you for the review, wonderful shots!
Hey just a question, I’m currently looking to get into wildlife photography but I don’t currently have 1k to spend on a lens what’s some good lens under 1k
Fantastic video Olle. I loved the opening sequence 👏🏽👏🏽🔥 🔥 🔥 I'm really impressed. If you do another brand comparison, please go for Nikon - they offer the best range of long lenses & Sony need to up their game (or Sigma will do it for them 🤣)
I just love the image coming off this sensor, it seems like a slight color science update vs the a7s3 or a7iv. I sadly dnt have them but when shooting side by side, i find richer tones with it. Please do us a comparison vs the a7iv or fx3 sensors ;)
Camera is secondary, always has been, the one by behind it is the asset, you can do crap with a 100k$ gear and greatness with 1000$. Half a century of experience talking. www.youtube.com/@CarloFerraro
What do you recommend doing if you don't have much wild life around you and cannot drive to find wildlife. I've always wanted to be a wildlife photography just don't know how to find the wildlife
Good camera but let down by the low res screen. Sony must have ordered way to many of these low res screens and continues to put old tech screens on new cameras. Perhaps there is a need to use and external Portkeys or Viltrox monitor for filming video.
What a good video, I liked that you mentioned many things about bird photography, and I want to have that camera like the first one, instead of a phone, although I do have to save good money, greetings from Colombia!
