Awesome video, love seeing the compairson on these cameras, it was actually your a6700 videos that convinced me to but the a6700 as my first miroless camera and I am loving it so far.

I was waiting for this video! Thanks for making it! I am thinking on going full frame and doing exactly what you said, starting changing my APSC lenses slowly....

Great job on the video! Thanks for making it.

A wonderful comparison video. Very informative and entertaining. Great job.

I have an fx30 and a a6000 and I just bought the a6700 today. A great new brother.

Awesome comparison i just wonder what lenses did you used for the A6700 on this video?

Just came across your channel! Helpful and I love how much personality you bring to the video, great stuff mate!

Keep it up, bro!. Amazing content as usual.

Thank you for the video. I actually currently own both but I don’t really shoot video. Both great but find some of the small APS-C lenses are special and ultra portable like sigma’s 10-18/2.8 and 18-50/2.8 DC DN Contemporary pair and the Sony E 70-350 G OSS lens (for zoom). So we will see.

Thank you for the helpful comparative video! God bless and good luck!

I looked at both cameras in the shop and decided to go for A6700, it came down to price, for the extra money and what I use the camera for, it wasn’t worth getting the A7c2. I’m not a pro photographer, just enjoy taking photos when walking around. Love the camera though, it’s amazing

You've literally blown my mind! I was just wondering the comparison of these two "bad boys" and then you post the video🤣🤣

Great video! Thanks for sharing! One thing that it wasnt mentioned in the video is that A7CII has only electronic shutter and Electronic-First Curtain Shutter (meanwhile A6700 is equipped with full mechanical shutter and others). Dont know whether it is important for other ppl, but that was actually dealbreaker for me.

Great comparison. I made the switch to fullframe about a year ago and it was the right decision for me, but for a LOT of people I think APS-C is the better choice. APS-C cameras can be incredibly good.

Great comparison....how is the rolling shutter on both these cameras ?

Amazing comparison, earned a subscriber 💯

I can't remember what you said but was all these clips filmed using the stock lenses & with no filters?

Founded your 2 videos about cameras. Previously owned a Canon 6D and long time ago a Nikon 3100-3200 version. I am designer and always loved a photography and video editing. On my Unsplash account I have over 7+ Million views and mostly pictures was taken on my iPhone 11 Pro. I always dreamed about a camera to take photos and film some videos but never got into this purchase serious. You made my understandings easier about camera comparison, quality and budget. I will try probably A6700 for now and see how it will work. It will be enough for now. Thank you so much for this information. You helped me a lot to understand the Sony Market (I always dreamed about A7s3 or latest versions) but my budget is not that big and I am not doing very professional photos (it's not my job) so I don't see a point investing so much just for a camera to travel and take images and upload them on Unsplash for memories :) Thanks again!

I went for the a7cII because I think it will pay off in the long run (I do photography mostly, videos…what are those?). I like the idea of having such a compact full frame sensor and for night photography is so great! I had a sony rx100vii to which was a tiny little beast and I decided to step it up to full frame. But if I could go back in time (or my suggestion to anyone who wants to have a solid first step into photography) is the a6700 for sure! (Also btw check the prices. In my country Switzerland the difference in price between the two was not so great, weird!)

I really enjoy this video, i have an a6000 with some apsc lenses, and i don't know if upgrade with a6700 or a7c2.. i could use my lens on a7c2 in apsc mode to start, but i don't if quality will go down too much

Great vid thanks! Subbed.

Thanks for this! Also thanks for making it entertaining haha

But how does it look on FF sensors without the apsc mode on? Is it like the Sony 10-18 F4 that you can basically use on FF as well despite it being an apsc lens?

Thanks for the video, helped me a bit in my decision. Low-light / iso comparison would've been cool.

My first mirrorless camera sony A6700. Its good camera. Not any complain with price range. I love it.

WOW! What a timely video. I was just thinking about this comparison. I just bought the a7Cii for video & backup, as well as, my travel camera to my main a7RV. A few things to note about the A7Cii: IMO, the aesthetics on the A7Cii (silver) is really nice, Sony added the "AI" processing that greatly helps AWB which improves colors & skin tones (A7iv skin tones aren't as good).

Which lenses have you used for shots in the video? For both cameras

Hola mi Amigo. I want to start with photography, I have seen some of your videos and I really liked your content and your style. I have 2 questions. Which one would you recommend me to start from 0. A6100 / A6400 / A6700 / A7 II OR A7 III? Thinking about budget and a person starting out. The other question is. Do you have any photography courses to buy? And any course of editions in lightroom and photoshop? Greetings!

I love you attitude, my friend!

Great video. I love the blind comparison, but would really appreciate if you used equivalent depth of field as well as focal lengths/colors, or if you just mixed up which side was which camera. The first photo in your blind compare series had a much shallower depth of field on the left than the right, which is usually a giveaway that it is the full-frame. DOF is obviously a potential advantage of full frame over aps-c, but a lot of people will be able to afford the a6700 with a f/1.4 aps-c lens for the same price as an a7cii with a f/1.8 or f/2 lens, and often even less money (e.g., a6700 + sigma f/1.4 series lens is cheaper than a7cii with sigma f/2 series lens). So it'd be nice to see a compare where the effective apertures are the same.

Hi late to the party, could you kindly help me out if I pair apsc lens with full frame boy in low light situation will full frame perform better in terms of noise? No pixel peaking. I'm considering about Sony 70-350mm for light weight and budget options. Thanks in advance 😅

Very entertaining video, thank-you. As a fellow Sony fan-boy, I currently have the A7R4 and A6700 for my expensive hobby. Many folks criticised the A6700 when it was released for being as bulky as a full-frame camera (compared to say the NEX-7 or A6000). But, as you pointed out, it costs much less and still performs outstandingly well. Personally I like a body with a bit of weight (cameras, not people) and find I'm using the A6700 more than the A6600 it replaced (kudos to Sony for moving up to a full-frame battery).. You're right, Sony's decision to make all NEX lenses work on all bodies, regardless of sensor size was inspired. APS-C lenses can be a lot lighter and the A6700 with 16-55/2.8 APS-C G-Master lens is a killer combination and (relatively) small & light - if i want truly small & light, I use an RX-100.. As for dual SD card slots - I don't think space is an issue, more to do with not impinging on their higher priced cameras - we're already getting a lot of that tasty up-marker tech in the colour-science, autofocus and image processing on these 'enthusiast' cameras, we mustn't be greedy. That said, I wouldn't want to shoot a wedding with a singe card-slot - it would be like going back to film!! Keep up the good work my friend. your country's scenery is outstandingly beautiful and you clearly have an eye for beauty..

Fearfully opening this video after returning an A7iv brand new for the A7c ii but was considering the 6700

how noticeable is the difference in low light capability? I am filming in extreme low light situations (clubs with only few coloured leds & strobes). only 4k30 without crop sounds like a deal breaker to me tho. I need my almost fisheye wide angle - also at 60fps

I have the A7RV and the A6700 and they seem perfectly suited. Am tempted at some point to swap the A6700 for the A7CR so would love to see a comparison to know if the jump in price is worth it. Any chance?

Very good video 👏🏻

I like both of them but wish the both had a joy stick for maneuvering the focus point.

I haven’t noticed that the a7cii has extra dial, thanks for pointing it out

Just got the a6700 and loving it so far!!

The footage tells the following story. I found a lovely swedish girl and had to move to Stockholm. But when i get a chance I go back to Iceland with my little family to see the lovely mountains and my redbearded brother. His name is probably Hurgafurirlurgur, or something very simular!?! Great comparison! Just what i needed.

the comparison photos were quite interesting. I could not see a difference on the landscape pictures, but in portraits the separation from background and background blur is different. The left looks better and more separated. I assume the better separation is the full frame sensor. Right? I guess you used also comparable aperture settings.

The A7C II has 204,800 ISO as well. Dont know if you got them mixed up or something but, yeah

Both are beasts depending on your type of shooting! Love my a6700 though 😅

can you do a a6700 vs a7iii. i feel that its better to pick a6700 than a7iii

The grip differs between those two more than I thought: I had an a6700 for some time and wanted to switch to a7cII. Only to notice that they reduced the grip size. My smallish hands could hold the a6700 well. The a7cii however is built for about 1 to 1.5 cm shorter fingers. Why didn't they just keep the a6700 grip 😒

I am planning to buy my first camera. I have used my friend's a6400 before. I am really confused between a7c and a6700. Photography is just a hobby for me. Might do some professional work in future. So which one would you suggest considering everything, cause a6700 has a new sensor and AI Chip as well.

Nice Video félagi, would you say it's worth it to upgrade from the Sony ZVE-10 to the A6700 ?

Super explanation

What if they were the same cost? I'm looking at getting a new camera and am leaning towards the a7cii. I will be doing photography primarily. Im thi king of pairing it with the sony g 16-35 f4

No mention of the overheating issues on the a6700? Have they been addressed in a recent firmware update?

Where are overheating and rolling shutter tests, bro? Low light performance also could be nice to see...

I ENJOYED YOUR REVIEW AND PICKED UP THE A6700 FOR $1279 USD 🥳

What lens did you use with the a6700 for landscape photos?

I want one lens, and the 16-55mm 2.8 g for apsc sonys is what I'm picking, nothing in that range for full frame, otherwise I'd jump on the a7cii in a heart beat.

Correction: A6700 in 4k 120fps video is giving additional 1.58 crop on top of 1.5 apsc crop. The 4k 120fps is not over or subsampled, it is just 1 to 1 readout from small part of the sensor. It is actually a great achievement as readout speed for 120fps video must be 8ms.

Great comparison.. what about the heating issue faced by 6700 users ?

I have the A6700 but I'm thinking than the price and weight difference (body and lenses) between APS-C and Full Frame, Full frame doesn't worth it. I thinkFull Frame is irreplaceable if you want an ultra-ultra wide angle. With the Brighting star 9mm, you have the widest view that you can have on full frame without deformation. We need a 6mm 0-deformation on APS-C.

which one is best for weddings sony 7c mark 2 or sony a6700 camera

The APS-C camera has no OLPF (Sony specifications) and Sony is mystical about the OLPF in the case of the A7C II. The difference between OLPF or not can be dramatic and not only in gained sharpness due to its absence. Absence would give you more colour space, dynamic range, contrast envelope, contour sharpness, low light sensitivity, and probably less vignetting. But it complicates raw processing and with inadequate raw processing software you get a bit more Bayer noise in the darker image areas as well as the blurred areas. By the way, dynamic range would not follow from a processor but lives in the sensor to begin with. The sensor being analogue (and colour blind), somewhere the analogue exposure values are converted into digital and that - today likely - also happens in the sensor. Moore's Law. So, if the FF camera has an OLPF then you cannot draw any conclusion about the impact of the size. Image quality differences following from MP are generally marginal, but the impact of removing the OLPF is 'shocking'.

Great Video! Is it mandatory to have beard in Iceland? 😂. The A7CR could give you best of both worlds, even on apsc lenses with crop you still have 26mb files 😊

I can't find any better reason than your accent to watch your vids

Saw lots of videos comparing these two cameras If anyone is planning to buy then 6700 is awesome!!! On point focus clarity and great pics and videos...i came from a m50 mk ii fun!! I shoot mainly for fun , family friends pics vids

Really wish they had put 2 card slots on the a6700 so it could be used professionally. They really missed a trick here.

Too bad you can't test them in the cold weather. Great video, love your humor. Keep it up.

As an amateur i fail to see the quality difference in the final result, might aswell go with the cheaper and smaller solution, but thats just me…a6600 + sigma trio and im set for good

I noticed something. If I saw off the hump of my A7R3, the result will be a body very close to the same size of the A7CR/II. Getting rid of the hump makes a huge difference. Now, keep talking cameras and don't forget to show us some of your handiwork using product you are reviewing.

I didn't buy the A6700 to save money. I bought it to save weight and bulk, both on camera and lenses. Crop sensors are not objectively worse than full frame lenses, it depends what you want, and what lenses you buy.

Size matters!!! As a constant international traveler my sony a6700 with 3-4 lenses (all tiny apsc sized) all fit into a tiny sling bag that I can easily carry. My lenses give me a range from 10mm to 527mm (full frame equivalent). I also use an RX100 vii which is fantasticl in image quality (and this entire camera fits in the palm of my hand including the built-in zoom lens). For more rugged work I bring a Tough V which is waterproof. But ALL of these cameras are tiny. I just got back from a cruise to the antarctica and shot with guys with enormous full frame lenses. Of course the zoom ranges of full frame that extend beyond 527mm are going to give you better shots at a distance, but at an enormous cost of weight and size. Some of these lenses approach 3 feet :). Even the apsc camera is at times too big and in many countries travelers with obvious cameras will be robbed (no question). Size apparently matters enormously to all of us…what camera do you commonly take with you to parties, the city, etc.? Your cell phone! Or at most a tiny palm-sized camera. I don’t see people regularly walking around with big cameras! The camera that you use is the most useful camera you have :). I love your videos, but again, it is NOT the cost for me, but the quality and convenience of the smaller apsc camera and lens that appeals to me the most. :) :)

Thanks very much indeed Great super helpful video. Just trying to decide whether to upgrade my A6400 to an A6700 ? Umm 🤔

I have the 6700, so I’m going to say that’s the best because my dumb ass didn’t investigate photography a little more before making the purchase. I saw what I had in my bank and said, yup 6700 it is! Mula play a big part in that.

I really couldnt tell them apart, save from the shallow dof i wouldnt have known.

What versatile lens is good for the a7cii !

Is there anything you can say about a6700 overheating? That is the only reason stops me from buying it

I just watched it because I consider buying a camera in a few months, let's be honest 44% cheaper for a camera that is similar than a 2200Euro camera is a great deal. I'll watch your beginner guide camera but I think I'll stick with a6700

a6700 seems like the perfect camera for me and for my upcoming trip to a hot country. However, the overheating is a major problem and the fx30 is just too expensive.

I have my eyes on the A6700. Do you experience any overheating issues when filming? I don't plan to shoot anything crazy. I don't need 10 bit color and I don't need 4k 60. Love your videos!

Which one do you prefer? 🤔

I wish a6400 had IBIS because I love AF but dont use gimbals or tripod

Debating between a7c II or a7 IV I don’t care about cII only having one sd card slot. Which do you think would be best in the long run to grow into it (amateur skill right now) will use for photography and video

Great comparison and video as always my friend :) For "normies" the A6700 would be always the better choice I guess. Sure full frame gives you better low light performance and more bokeh, but normal people usually don't take a lot of pictures as soon the sun goes down. Most of them disapear behind some screens or settle down on a couch in front of a screen instead of taking pictures in the dark :D It's only camera nerds like us, who think they "need" full frame for xyz - and I fall victim to this myself :') APSc in general can rival full frame even in looks, if you have the correct lens (like f1.2 which would also be big). And people do find APSc might be enough, I mean look at Fujifilm sales :)

Iprefer right photo

Upgraded to the old(!) A7C and I'm loving it. Rocked APSC 8 years, and I msut say the difference is VAST. I was always convinced the difference is minimal and at the end of the day, a good photo is not determined by the sensor size. Still I made the jump out of curiosity, going into FF knowing full well that its not much different -> Just like your comparison pictures show, they are VERY similiar. -> I was very happy to find out, that the FF offers MUCH better image quality. I had the Sigma 1.4 primes on APSC and switched to cheaper Samyang 1.8 primes on FF and it is vastly sharper. I now understand when reviewers talk about "sharpest lens ever", cause now I can actually see differences in lenses. Added that the LOW LIGHT performance is much more than 1-stop which is always mentioned. ISO25600 looks better than ISO6400 on my A6000. This can't really be seen on a compressed RU-vid video. That said, I think a lot of this also comes from newer sensor technology and not just APSC vs FF. Still, the a6400 had the very same IQ as the a6000. Didn't properly try the a6700 which now has BSI sensor, BUT had back to back test with it, which still looked the same. Add the fact that the a6700 actually costs 400 bucks more than an A7C. Also no weight/size advantage.

Right is a7c ii and left is a6700

I can see a color difference

had this argument for months.. went with the ac7ii..

i am a wedding videographer and i sold my a7iii and bought a6700. was my decision right? can you make a comparison for a7iii and a6700? i cant find any comparison in the youtube

You should mention that the A7cii only has first curtain electronic shutter whereas the A6700 has a full mechanical shutter. That may make a difference in bokeh with long focal lenses at high aperture. At least the A7iv manual indicates that you should change the shutter mode in this case.

It's not an SD card failure I'm afraid of, it's losing a card. And it's happened to me. I was saved by the highest resolution jpgs in the 2nd slot.

I like your accent 😅 2:51

no need to spend too much money to buy expensive camera.. try my way.. make sure shoot good , sharp photos... then use photoshop to edit photos... double layer ... increas size, 300dpi , then go to filter sharpen smart sharpen... now you will get double your resolution without spend money....

So, you lost both body caps

A6700 is 🔥 No, literally, it overheats like crazy trying to use video in any higher formats in regular conditions

For most of us 6700 would be better.

NO amateur on the whole world needs FullFrame - it's all about marketing!

It's weird that Sony is yet to hop in the OpenGate bandwagon. It makes repurposing so much more streamlined.

Full frame>half frame always

Sony a1

fuji xt5 is better !!!

Like the both ....but body so small...
