interestingly, nobody as making noticed, that this camera also records gyro data. huge upgrade compared to the old apsc cameras. using that for stabilise footage in post production is huge
It would be nice if Sony included 10bit output in the free Catalyst Browse. I can't justify $15 US a month just to stabilize footage. Gyroflow is an option at least.
@@kumaravnish3078 The bigger the sensor, the better the image. Or do you think Ansel Adams schlepped that big 8x10 camera of his around because he wanted the exercise? APS-C will never equal full-frame, as long as the sensors, processors, lenses, etc. are equal. APS-C can capture good images, and sometimes, you don't want the weight and bulk associated with a full-frame rig. There will always be photographers willing to make the effort to carry and shoot full-frame. There are use cases where choosing APS-C over full-frame is silly. Astrophotography, comes immediately to mind. There are use cases where APS-C is the obvious choice, and full-frame is doing it the hard way. Trying to get candid street shots with a big full-frame rig vs a little APS-C rig that looks like a tourist's point-and-shoot, is a good example.
Wondering if overheating has nothing to do with Sony. I've recently been looking at reviews of Canons R8...and some people are saying there is overheating issues. Both A6700 and R8 are cameras that aim towards more compactness. Perhaps any overheating is just inherent when one starts to get compact without some new tech not yet available or cost feasable yet to help diffuse the heat.
Sony’s APS-C crop is 1.5x for normal shooting now with Active Stabilisation ON what is the effective crop factor? Does the crop factor vary by resolution setting?
I really hate how much artificial segmentation Sony has created with 3 different lines that operate independently. I love my FX and A7 cameras but their existence is the biggest reason the A6xx line will always play second fiddle and regurgitating parts off the shelf.
Just buy the camera that fits your needs. If you shoot professional videos, the FX line is for you. If you vlog most of the time, the ZV line is for you. And...if you primarily shoot stills, and still want to make videos, the A7 and a6000 line is for you. Easy.
Hey Henbu, been meaning to buy my first beginner camera. Actually trying to weigh pros and cons between a6700 and fuji's xs-20, The reason as well that I came across to your channel (some research). My main purpose is to shoot some good b-rolls, cinematic vids and a little photography sessions. Which one of these options do you recommend? Thanks in advance for your reply! :) cheers!
I wonder what is so way to good about this camera. It`s only a few baby steps better than it`s predecessor and that ONE WAS HARDLY NOTICED. Every channel on youtube is praising it, i get the impression that Sony is giving away some presents.
if only it had 1/8000 unrestricted mechanical shutter it would be 100% the perfect camera. But it doesn't and the rolling shutter with the high speed electronic shooting mode shows ugly uncorrectable distortions and banding.
@CO8848_2 the X-S20 records 6k Open Gate, 240fps, Film Simulations, supports external fan, better color science, can record ProRES and BRaw, and is cheaper. Plus, way more lenses for APS-C from Fujifilm than Sony has. Faster AutoFocus than the Fujifilm X-H2S. So if someone can explain what is better on the Sony A6700, please. Maybe you can show us all in a video, too.
@OrlandoNewsLive you are so misinformed it's laughable. Fuji lenses can't focus for video, and frankly generally if inferior quality than Sony. You are lucky now Fuji finally allowed 3rd party options just recently, while I have been using 3rd party on Sony for years. 6k open gate is nice, but frankly I don't care, as almost 95% or more will never use it. And fuji film simulation is ugly as hell.
Sad facts about Sony's advancement in new cameras has invariably been lagged behind competition in key areas & also been incremental & Not complete. To justify this , have a look at CANON R8 or R6 ii, both would ring round Sony's camera any day and cheaper. Just try R8 I reassure you would covert immediately. It is superior in every department.
Dude, nice review and all, but am I missing something as regards the title of this review, 'Sony made a HUGE MISTAKE w/this camera?... Want to buy this camera and watched because of title, did I miss it, where you being ironic???.... Thanks man.
Don't think the rolling shutter is "bad", the readout speed is about 15ms at 4K24~60p (o/s from 6K), which is decent compared to GH6's ~14ms, I'd say it's usable for all staff but fastest movements.
@@DAVE_WHITE You said it's a "used one", and a9 ver 1 does not have S-Log3, HLG, S-Cinetone, even 4K@60fps is absent on a9 ver 1. I'd say it's a better camera for sports, but not good for video shooters at all.
Also got this question. Sony have a student discount plus cashback going on right now (in the UK, may not be for all regions) - so you can get the A7 IV for £1861 (was £2399) or the A6700 for £1304 (was £1445). So that's a £550 difference, which makes the jump to full frame worth questioning.
Same here, let me know if you know, also struggling between the a7IV or this one.. if I can get almost the same quality for that huge price difference I think I’ll get this one (?
First ask yourself, why do you want a full frame camera? Like for real, try finding an advantage of a full frame camera that cannot be solved by software or using a speedbooster!
I always see RU-vidrs do “low light-tests” at places with a lot of light: city with neon lights, or carnaval festival. That is not low light. Great video, though ❤
right now I cannot afford a more professional option like the a7iv or a7rv. I am thinking of this as my first Sony body and first step into the Sony ecosystem. if full frame lenses like Sony FE 50mm 1.8 work then that's great because I don't want to have to buy aps-c lenses the FE mount all over again when i upgrade. I'm used to filming on various canon cameras, Sony more camcorder models. filmed once with a friend a7iv and love it color science. however my gear is just a canon 70D, this will be a huge upgrade for me for social media marketing videos, and a great camera for traveling when i need to. there is just one thing that's holding me back, when you talking about the I/O's, I think you said microphone jack twice. one on the top over the micro HDMI and one under the usb C port. or is it the same one? just curious because if this camera doesn't have a headphone jack out to monitor your sound, then its a huge deal breaker for me.
the 50mm will work on the APS-C sensor cameras like the a6700. But they'll behave like a 75mm lens, because of the 1.5x crop factor. That's both a plus (outdoors where you have room to work), and a minus (where you're indoors, with limited space)...
Or, the best of the two worlds (tiny Fullframe camera paired with 10-bit 4k60): just wait for model 2 of the A7C, it may arrive in some months according to rumors. I'm doing this as I don't really want to buy into an APS-C system when the A7C model 1 was just the right (compact) size for me. So, no size advantage for APS-C if you use pancakes on the fullframe body.
Hi, Thanks for the awesome review. Which lenses would you recommend for this camera? And what stabilizer do you use or would you recommend for this camera?
"A huge mistake"? What was the mistake?? The only down-side I saw mentioned in the video was the rolling shutter... Either way, thanks for the good info! I'm considering picking up an A6700 soon - just trying to decide what glass to pair it with at this point...
depending on codec. who record more than 15 min 4k 120 fps or more than 20 min 4k 60 fps? not me as wedding photovideo shooter, not a video logger who don't need such fast framerates, not a traveler, not a naturalist, so why should be unaccepatable for anyone?
I think this camera is for professionals that realized full frame don't represent any advantage anymore and don't need to record in 6k or for more than 30 minutes continuously. This is why I think a full frame camera is now on the loss thanks to this setup: - Full frame was better at noise handling in low light, but now with software like Topaz Denoise or Lightroom this is just not relevant anymore. - You can use a speedbooster to basically transform your APSC camera into full frame and use your full frame lenses with 100% field of view, bokeh and light. - The weight is a huge advantage when you need to go hiking, to weddings, or traveling in general due the size and weight limitations of luggage, so small is always better - You get a higher range with your lenses for telephoto shots and also for Macro, so instead of 600mm telephoto you get 840mm, and macro it helps you magnify even more. - It is more discreet when doing street photography, due the small size. - Has higher pixel density, meaning 26mp in APSC has the same pixel density than a 40mp full frame camera, so you get THAT MUCH MORE DETAIL than a A7s3 or even A7IV for example. - If you need a bigger image, software like Topaz Gigapixel can make your photo 1.5x or 2x, meaning instead of 26mp to be 104mp effortlessly. - Finally, it looks less "pro" so you draw less attention, making you less targetable for stealing your gear. I really can't see a single advantage of a full frame camera anymore!
No professional gonna swap ff fx3/fx6 for cropshit :D There's no magic like speedbooster giving you more light and bokeh, sorry! Oversharpening due to downscaling from 27mp (a6700) to 8mp (4k) is too much compared to 12mp (a7s3/fx3/fx6) downscaled to 8mp (4k). The moment you crop up to 150+ % you will start realising how artificial the sharpness is on cropped sensors.. Also Topaz is eating your time, professionals are trying to close as much clients as they can per month, not sitting hours and waiting to denoise their footage :) Many Pros using lenses like 14/20mm f/1.8 on FF which brings you bokeh even in super wide shots... on APS-C you will need 9/13mm f/1.1 which is hard to make in near 15 years for such small cameras. 24mm F1.4, 35mm F1.4, 50mm F1.2... To get these on APS-C you will need F/0.9 = F/1.4 on FF, APS-C F/0.75 = F/1.2 on FF. Impossible. So you are not right.. In crop sensors there are so much physical limitations... We can continue with rolling shutter throwing away your sport footage into the recycle bin... Dynamic range.. etc.
@@flann5802 as someone that has a Sony a6500 and a speed booster I’m telling you yes, it widens the field of view, gives you 1 more full stop of light and increases the bokeh. Check some videos online!
Sony likes product segmentation very much. That's why they are holding back on the A6700. Somehow all Sony cameras look the same, whether from the Z-VE series, A7C or A6700. I think Sony doesn't need engineers anymore when the company runs a recycling center. And they look ugly and very uninspiring. A box with a grip - done. Mass production for the average customer.
@@chump3888 I have budget but I don't want to sell my kidney ahah I was gonna buy an A7iii with a 55mm 1.8 Zeiss Lens with a great offer of 1.600, completely new (90 Shots taken) € in Germany btw.
This biggest frustration I have on the a6700 is that no gimbal or follow focus device is fully compatible with it. I've tried Hohem, DJI, Tilta Nucleus NanoII. They can only do video start/stop via USB or Bluetooth (if that). No control of ISO/Shutter/Aperture/Focus/zoom at all, whereas a6500 and down all have compatibility on common gimbals/FIZ. This is a huge miss. I've given up using this for video on gimbal or stabilizing rigs. I'd rather use a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. For photos though, a6700 is perfect. My Canon 6D+glass is so heavy that I don't bring it anywhere. But a6700 + you can get such light APSC and even full frame lenses that I've started bringing it with me.
What do you think of the noise in this camera? Is it manageable with some noise reduction software? I'm between this camera and the zve1, which one would you choose without thinking about the price? did you use any noise reducer for these images with the a6700?
@henbu Hey dude, thanks for this awesome review. Im currently browsing through cameras to buy, and this one stands out to me. Would you say this camera could be used filming weddings?
hi，henbu, can you do me a favor, it import to me to use a external monitor when shooting video, can you test will the fcous lag when use external hdmi monitor shooting video. thanks a lot
@@yusufboz164 Be careful about the overhead claim. It is only shooting at the fastest fps at 4k. No problem at the slower speeds. This is how incorrect news get out when people give questionable to false information.
Another camera that is going to be discontinued quickly like the a6500 amazing camera for the year that came out (2016) to much good tech on just one camera
I shoot longer videos never really a photo, I'm thinking I should lean towards FX30, but all these A6700 reviews and specs are making me debate between A6700 vs FX30... cant decide.. =(
it has no built in flash, but you can attach a flash on it.

Hi,great video!💪🏼 I have the a6700 and I can't record in 4K 100p. The camera gives me a message saying that to record at these speeds I need cards higher than v60. I have Sony Tough v90 300mb/s cards. Any help with this?
hello everyone! i currently have a Lumix G7. ive had this camera for manyyyyyyy years now. Im looking to upgrade to a new camera. Mainly for Music videos, cinematography, short films. But i also want that super crisp photography side as well. I was looking at the sony A 7RV but that has a pretty penny on it. then i discovered the A6700. Now im torn.
Don't buy this camera! I bought it during the release because of all the hype and all these RU-vid "reviewers". The deal breaker is that it overheats VERY fast. I returned it and bought the FX30. MUCH MUCH better. The FX30 is the way to go....and if you can stomach the FX3....buy the FX3. But, FX30 does MORE than enough for us normal folk. No brainer.
Sony make great cameras, but their lack of firmware updates for new features mean that you will be very disappointed with your purchase in a short time. A7S3 owner.
Hey man, In my country, this camera and the a7iv are the same price if I buy two lenses with each (the 1.8 Sony for the a7iv and the sigmas 1.4 for the 6700). They both would cost $2400, because the Sony lenses are cheaper than Sigmas ($200 vs $400). Which camera should I get for 60/40% video/photo?
Hey comment section 👋🏼 My budget is $2k and I’m looking for a camera to mostly capture video of the city for B-roll and the occasional snapshot of sunsets and landscapes etc… I’m new to this so I’m curious if there’s like a Swiss Army knife type of camera that can do it all for my current budget! Thanks in advance.
I have a question, I own a sony a6700, and apparently it only accepts luts 33 points and not 65 points. Are your luts from the web page selly a 33 or 65 points kinda lut ?
Thanks for your response. However, I'm certain that you already know that Sony does make a camera which uses the aspc sized sensor as I stated in my note: The FX30 which does in fact have two card, express slots. Also does not have overheating problems because they used the same body as the FX3 which has cooling fans. So, I'm sorry to counter your case, I do in fact feel strongly that Sony could well afford to make a much better product than the a6700. By the way, Sony has made tons of money with their PlayStation Enterprise, so don't u think that they could be a little more generous to those who are into the apsc format? I do have the Sony a6000 camera. It is an overheating MONSTEER! :) 😎😎
They need to save something for future a7xxx series. They can't put out everything possible in every model coming out. Otherwise, how would they be able to release so many cameras :D
@@allthebestmoves Well, let's look at this problem another way. Let's say u just bought a brand new Ford Mustang (knowing that it does have one serious flaw. at the dealership when they sold it to u, they mentioned that this particular car, the yellow one-right in front of your eyes is a lemon. it loses oil like crazy, a quart every ten miles. u say to yourself, "so what, they can't afford to put everything possible into this new 2024 model." U buy it & low and behold, you drive out the door and get on the Los Angeles Freeway Fastlane, only to have it go into OVERHEATING & SHUTDOWN, Hundreds of cars slam into you. You are in the Next World. You smile & say, "Look at all those suckers out there with their cars that don't loose oil." Heaven Can Wait is Now Heaven is Here, LOL 😎😎
