| sent on 17 Marzo 2026 Pros: Compact, excellent image quality, excellent autofocus, very fast AF tracking Cons: 1/8000 silent shutter only (max 1/4000 normal shutter), rolling shutter Opinion: Definitely a great camera, I'm testing it for a short time, but with all the aps-C that I've had the pleasure of using at sony (A230, A580, A77, A77II, NEX7, A6300) I have to admit that finally an ML almost up to the A77II, which as an APS-C I think was the best I've ever had. With the a6700 I finally seem to be almost there (apart from the side viewfinder that with distant subjects in flight is uncomfortable to frame with long telephoto ... and all the functions of the A77II never made to the ML such as the fire limiter in the car, etc ...). Finally an ML with 1/8000 second (albeit silent) and with excellent resistance to high iso in an ultra-transportable body. The rolling shutter is intrusive... but maybe I still have to set it up correctly... Maybe I'll revisit this review later after getting more carried away. |
| sent on 03 Marzo 2026 Pros: Compactness, image quality, excellent autofocus with A.I., lossless compressed RAW (finally), advanced video functions, front wheel (finally), focus bracketing (finally). Cons: None for my use Opinion: I wanted to make an up-grade of my old (but not faded) a6000; I was initially tempted by the A6600, but when I saw the features of the A6700 I made up my mind. It is literally a bomb in autofocus, with the A.I. recognition of animal, human and mechanical subjects, which it chases without flinching. I don't normally make videos, but certainly with this camera I wanted to try more seriously. In addition to 4K up to 120 fps, it has special functions such as automatic framing, which I imagine are appreciated for example by youtubers. If you want, it has some overheating problems for prolonged video sessions, but easily solved with a cooling fan applicable to the back, which is found at more than affordable prices on the market. I also bought a base, which makes the handle more ergonomic, providing better support for the little finger, as well as serving as a graft to the Arca Swisse type tripod heads. Since it is a light alloy metal base, it also helps to disperse the heat of the camera once engaged. I would add that the camera also has the focus bracketing function, which is equivalent to focus stacking, although you have to use the computer to merge the shots. In this regard, I would suggest to Juza to update the descriptive sheet in this sense, because instead it does not report, as in other models of other brands, the partial focus stacking that requires the use of the computer. |
| sent on 09 Ottobre 2025 Pros: Surprising Cons: To date not found for semipro video and pro use in photography Opinion: 26 bsi sensor that Sony has also sold to Fuji, but on a Bayer basis with better colors than the xt4 and even less aggressive than the a7r5, battery life, smart screen and viewfinder acceptable, a slot for me is not a cons just put quality and capacious SD, jpg finished, with the 17-40 1.8 art of sigma, asphalt any full-frame with less refined optics. for example an A7III with a Samyang or Tamron will have more margin in the raw file for processing in PP, but it will never be an organic file like this sensor and the Sigma lens mentioned, if we consider AF ai, intelligent color thanks to the new processor, reading speed 1/40 sec less banding, objectively it is a bomb if accompanied with other FF bodies and lenses. The only solution is also with the 17-40 1.8 for those who take videos and photos, for those who do other jobs it is better to complement it with the entire Sony ecosystem. Grade 10 laude |
| sent on 02 Ottobre 2025 Pros: Compactness, build quality, advanced electronic features (autofocus, AI, subject recognition, etc.) Cons: Lack of joystick, viewfinder. Lack of a compact and high quality standard zoom lens at Sony (such as the Sigma 18-50 f2.8, for example) Opinion: Accustomed to using corpulent medium-format or reflex cameras with battery-grips, the advent of mirrorless cameras already seemed to me at the time a sort of technological "miracle"... until the discovery of this camera. It is small, perhaps too small since the right little finger does not find any grip on the grip but otherwise we are faced with a truly professional APS-C for build quality and general characteristics. The square shape and the level of finishes make it look like a "Leica-like" made in Japan. I can't make comparisons with the previous A6xxx models because I don't know them in detail, but I have placed it in the photo backpack alongside the A7R-V (with which it shares a large part of the menu) and I can only say I am satisfied with the purchase. For the "lighter" outputs I have permanently coupled it with a Sigma E 18-50 f2.8 (and I complain that in the Sony house there is no standard lens comparable in terms of compactness and quality), but it accepts all the FE lenses in my kit by multiplying the focal length by 1.5; so to have a kit suitable for almost any situation, just add for example the Sony FE 70-200 f4 G macro OSS. There are two negative aspects, at least in my opinion. First of all, the lack on the back of the joystick to vary the point of MAF, which I use a lot on the A7R-V while here you have to use the wheel at the bottom (which by default already performs other functions). And then the viewfinder, too small and not very resolute. UPDATE 7/11/2025. I confirm what I wrote earlier: using the car is very pleasant for its maneuverability and elegance, to the point that you can always carry it with you in a backpack. The files are very beautiful, brilliant and extremely sharp. But the real "bottleneck" is the viewfinder. It is really not very resolute and even calibrating the diopters to perfection you have the very bad feeling that the photo is "grainy" or blurry, especially by raising the ISO. With its 2,359,000 pixels we are very (too...) far from the pleasantness of the viewfinder of the A7R-V (9,440,000), but even that of the A7-IV (3,690,000). This is unpleasant especially for those like me who have photographed for decades with any type of reflex equipped with an optical viewfinder: certainly the first APS-C had that annoying "tunnel effect" that you had to get used to but already the first FF had excellent viewfinders in which it was a pleasure to rest the eye. The mirrorless world in my opinion has yet to achieve those results. As mentioned above, when you open the files on the PC screen (I have a Samsung 4K) fortunately the files are perfectly focused and very sharp but on the field the feeling is not pleasant. |
| sent on 25 Agosto 2025 Pros: Compact, Quick Menu, Image Quality, Stabilization Cons: Overheating on videos, fixable Opinion: Socket to replace my Rx100 iii for travel. I'm on my third trip with this car in my hand and I'm still amazed at what it can do. Fast AF with a fairly intuitive menu, so you learn simple. Lightweight, durable. The only flaw if you are doing street, if you happen to close the screen it takes a while to restart ... you get used to it, you understand how it works and in certain contexts you avoid the gesture. For me, a great car that I will carry with me for a long time, it does not make me regret not having chosen a FF. When you learn how best it works with optics, it is enjoyed hard. |
| sent on 28 Luglio 2025 Pros: Compact camera body, image quality, AF Cons: price Opinion: Small and lightweight camera body make it an ideal machine for travel. With 17 70 tamrom , 10 18 sony, 70 350 sony I cover all needs. High raw quality, comparable to a FF of a few years ago, new very intuitive menu, remarkable speed of use. the backlit keys are missing. Noticeable overheating. Price? high, very high if we consider it a travel machine. |
| sent on 20 Febbraio 2025 Pros: AF, size and weight, speed of general use, raw files. Cons: Absurd overheating, viewfinder. Opinion: Top-of-the-range features in a compact body and at an affordable price, this is the first thing I would say. It has a really efficient processor that makes it fast in its overall use, which for example is very different with a fuji xt5 that even simply moving through the menus is slower. Impeccable AF there is not much to say, while I was amazed by the goodness of the raw file as I notice a considerable improvement, the color management and the malleability of the file is really excellent and I absolutely do not feel the lack of a FF sensor. Of course, in my opinion they are always files to be managed in post because although the settings of the color profiles directly in the camera have also improved, they are still not up to fuji. Even on the video side, honestly, a crazy look and a truly remarkable log. On the other hand there is primarily overheating, for me this is really the Achilles heel of this camera, used amateurly it is fine, but if I had to do a wedding, or shoot clips even just for small social advertisements I would die of anxiety because the camera overheats in record time and practically always. I also bought an additional fan and with that I solved it a bit, but I still remain of the idea that if you are a wedding lawyer or in any case you work with it you cannot have a room with such a big problem. Finally barely decent viewfinder but I almost never use it so I don't care. Do I recommend this room? Yes, because combined with gm lenses you have in your hands the top you could want in a really small body. |
| sent on 14 Maggio 2024 Pros: Autofocus for subject priority, new video performance, new menu, larger battery, new body and layout and much more. Cons: Display of a bit "right" size for the amount of icons present. Opinion: Sony a6700 compared to its predecessors there have certainly been important and very interesting adjustments. I come from a fantastic a6500 from which I made a series of comparisons to actually understand the impact of the new improvements. The strong points that give it added value are certainly, the new ring to change the modes from photo, video to S&Q Motion, the look of the new menu with multiple parameterizable items, the autofocus system that allows you to select a subject priority, the articulated display, more battery and differentiated access compartments. On the full specifications you can see and appreciate all the features and performance in detail. Video stabilization, finally the possibility of digitally stabilizing with a small crop has also been introduced, and from here a piece of advice for Sony comes spontaneously to me, in addition to activating or deactivating digital stabilization why not give the user the possibility of how much to stabilize perhaps with 3 different levels of crops? With a software update it would be solved quickly. Between the a6700 and the a6500 the main improvements have a greater impact on the video options, true that the sensor is different, but one thing caught my attention, the ISO. I read on other reviews from users who complained about too much "noise" caused at high ISO compared to the a6500. From here I was curious to check this thing. I took a series of test shots at high ISO (from 6400 to 30,000 ISO) with both the a6700 and the a6500 while maintaining exactly the same parameters/lens on a tripod. I then converted the raw files to JPG without adding any type of filter. The result surprised me because comparing the photos with the same ISO in fact the a6700 has more noise than the a6500, but also the exposure is much higher. So this is not the correct interpretation because the exposures of the photos are different. Comparing instead by "exposure", and I mean the same lights and shadows that you see in practice on the monitor, the photos are practically identical but with different ISO. So my deduction is that by obtaining the same exposure of photos, the a6700 has no more "noise" than the a6500, but it will be necessary to reason by maintaining much lower ISO than the a6500 to have the same result. The reason is unknown to me (Sony why?) but being used to the a6500 I will have to re-evaluate the ISO setting on the a6700 in a decidedly different way. Mysteries of science! As for video heating, I recommend recording with the display open and changing the temperature alarm from standard to high and adding an external power bank. Everything depends on how much you want to record continuously and with what parameters. Another advantage is certainly the lens park with a wide choice. I haven't had the opportunity to test everything in detail yet because it takes time but in any case it is certainly a very, very good and complete car. In addition to the customizable keys, it is also possible to create a customizable menu in order to help and speed up some controls. Improved? Like all things... but I would say that today it is a nice little monster in line with current technology (even something more). I recommend it, but not for first-time users! (Pass me the term). In summary... so much stuff! Good continuation to all. |
| sent on 27 Febbraio 2024 Pros: Very compact, really tiny; exceptional build quality; exceptional autofocus; good hybrid machine; new Sony menus. Cons: I wouldn't get it at full price, also because it doesn't cost much less than an A7C II and doesn't give much more than a ZV E10; internal stabilization still not very incisive; built-in single-capsule microphone; lack of motorized zoom lever; Opinion: This is a first contact amateur opinion, in practice I make considerations as a consumer. Not really technical. I state that I own a ZV E10, I mainly make videos and I was interested in getting the 6700 as a replacement. No particular reason, I just had the monkey to have the latest Sony APSC in the field, to be able to better enjoy a couple of new lenses I bought. My approach to this camera body took place in two steps: the first directly in the shop, where I found a used one. It was a fleeting contact, because the option I was given was to immediately give in the ZV E10. The price was also affordable, taking into account the trade-in but, not being completely convinced, mainly because of the many reviews seen and read on the net, almost all of which were sponsored, I resisted the temptation, but I still asked to be able to try it for a few minutes. So I made an effort to pay attention to a few things right away. First of all, after turning it on, I inserted my SD card and started a test video to test the overheating that is so much talked about. I confirm: the camera body is already warm after a few seconds. Not boiling, but too hot to be on recording for less than a minute. Then I notice the position of the hot-shoe, which is decidedly less practical than on the ZV E10. I also study the EVF a little (whose absence is one of the main reasons why the ZV E10 fits me), but here we reach the absurd. The viewfinder is so awkward and small that even I, who am quite small, cannot put my eye in it to look. Especially seeing the masterpiece they managed to do on the A7 CII, Sony's designers could have made a little effort here too. Compactness is therefore good, but it is little in the face of the fact that vital accessories (EVFs) are unusable. Apart from that, I can't reject a camera like that in a few seconds. I left it in the shop to think about it. I sense that there are many functions to take advantage of, so I ordered it online to see if - keeping it a few more days - I can change my mind. I notice another annoying detail: the sad built-in microphone with a single capsule, whose audio performance is still sufficient. Another annoying detail: I don't think it has a motorized zoom lever. It is true that motorized zooms are now few, but taking into account that it is sold in kit (also) with the 16-50mm, which is a power zoom lens, I find it bizarre to say the least. The only reason why I could consider keeping it and not making the return is the possibility of installing the LUTs directly in the room, but I have to think about it, I don't know if it's enough. Perhaps, for a purely photographic use, the above is completely irrelevant, but in the video field it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. The autofocus is prodigious, a leap forward from every point of view. Even compared to the ZV E10, which was already a notch above the segment average. Finally, color science makes it possible to obtain the restitution of colors that are not obtained with previous generation APSCs. For a flagship and for the asking price, the single SD slot is not a good thing. Half a word I spend on the stabilization in the room, which in my opinion is "6 minus minus". In fact, it is necessary to distinguish between stabilization useful for photos and that useful for videos. Here we have a stabilization that is useful for photos, but it is also sold as useful for videos. Handheld shots taken with its internal stabilization system are only good when done from a standstill. The IBIS systems on the A7C II and on the ZV E1 are completely different (the ZV E10 doesn't have it at all, except in an electronic and somewhat fake version). |
| sent on 07 Ottobre 2023 Pros: Compactness, autofocus, image quality, functions, video compartment, stabilization Cons: Price? Really? Opinion: Compactness: it has the same dimensions, except for the depth of the grip, of the Panasonic GX80, do I need to say more? Autofocus: PERFECT. Image quality: always excellent. Functions: Infinite. Video sector: there is everything and more. Stabilization: we have you too. In short, there are those who say that it costs a lot, and perhaps subjectively for someone can also be a high price. But this machine has it all. And I challenge you to find such a complete machine at this price. |
| sent on 14 Settembre 2023 Pros: Autofocus, construction, weight and dimensions, new sensor, improved stabilizer Cons: High ISO yield; side viewfinder; They did not implement the shots per second. Opinion: Starting from the disadvantages I would indicate as first the yield at high ISO. Compared to the A6600 (which I owned and had a normal yield) I find that for the same light there is about 1/3 maybe 1/2 stop of noise more. The 11 shots per second are great for many things but a camera like this, devoted to the "dynamic" side of photography, could have given something more. The side viewfinder makes aiming more difficult when mounted you have a telephoto lens (for example the 200-600). With the same equivalent focal length, compared to the A7 or A9 families I sometimes have to look for the subject longer before framing it or even moving the eye away from the eyepiece to look for it again and then return to aim. Let's talk about the positive aspects which are many. The AI linked to AF is remarkable, it almost always finds the subject regardless of what the surrounding environment is. The AF on the eye or head allows you to always have the subject in focus where the focus is needed. Excellent performance even with 1.4x converter on 200-600. The construction is excellent on the line of the A6600. Weight and size make it a perfect travel companion. The new sensor is more "crisp" than the previous one and the difference is noticeable especially at medium / low iso. The ergonomics are better than the A6600 and despite having relatively large hands I have no problem holding it and finding the keys. The stabilizer in the car works better than the previous version and finally I find it adequate for the machine segment. After a few thousand shots I am very happy with the purchase. PS. SCANDALOUS that in the box there is not even the battery charger. |

| sent on 08 Settembre 2023 Pros: Fantastic autofocus. Low weight and size. Good battery life. Shooting quality. Cons: Ergonomics not excellent. Decentralized viewfinder. Stabilization still improvable. One SD slot. Opinion: I have been using FF and Micro 4/3 for a long time. This is the first APS-C I take, having always considered the format not as small as the micro 4/3 and not of quality equal to the FF. A middle ground, as it actually is. I open the box and discover that the cable and the power supply are missing. There is nothing apart from battery and strap. The arms become heavy. I take it in my hand and immediately wonder who put the two rings in that position. I will never find them on the fly. Arms at lead level. Then, I take it with me and go out. I turn it on while walking and I like the new menu immediately. The screen with touch icons as well. The viewfinder is definitely better than that of my A7C. It is light and small but does not escape from the hands. A little relief. I see a buzzard at a sidereal distance and point it. The A6700, by pressing the AF button set to tracking, hooks it immediately. She moves, the camera follows her. I move the camera left and right and the subject is always in the green pointer. Not bad. Too bad only for the decentralized viewfinder, typical of these compacts, which does not help to find the subject on the fly (with a pushed telephoto is really difficult). I search and find the "usual" cat. Here the A6700 first engages the body, then the head and immediately the eye. He doesn't let go. I start smiling. I go home and open the files with PS (Pure Raw still does not recognize the format). They are my usual test shots, shadows, backlight, from flowers to landscapes. Everything is normal, possibility of recovery shadows and lights not equal to the A7C but better than the OM-5. More evident noise than the FF already at 1600 iso but also manageable by PS / ACR. So I rate size and weight against the microscopic OM-5. As weight we are there, in size there is not an abyss. The lenses are larger but the ones I took (10-20 and others) are not at all exaggerated. And if I want quality and accept weight, I can also put those of FF. I spend the evening exploring the menu, the AF one in particular. And I have confirmation. This small room is a monster. It outclasses my A7C in AF, the menu is from another era, the viewfinder much more acceptable. Then he has the two rings, even if badly put for me. The spark has struck. We will go a long way together! |
