The A6700 is Sony’s first APS-C mirrorless hybrid camera in years, but it was worth the wait. It heavily reduces rolling shutter that was a pain point on past models, while bumping image sharpness. It’s an excellent video camera as well, with 4K at up to 120 fps and 10-bit log capture. The main downside is burst speeds well behind the competition, particularly in electronic shutter mode

Without doubt, the Alpha 6700 is Sony’s best APS-C camera to date with superb image quality and features. Sadly these are not matched by some aspects of its design for the user experience.
Packed with advanced features and cutting-edge technology, the Sony A6700 is sure to impress both amateur and professional photographers alike. It's the closest thing to a full-frame camera in a crop sensor body.
The Sony a6700 is a logical upgrade from the a6600, offering a compact rangefinder-style APS-C camera with some design refinements and jumps in technology. The biggest selling points are for hybrid shooters who want a compact camera but still want a viewfinder, as the a6700 has become the new Sony APS-C camera to buy for the best stills, but the leaps forward in 4K 120p video recording, IBIS, and the latest in AI autofocus make this a compelling alternative to Sony's ZV lineup.
The Sony a6700 is a well-rounded, camera that's as well-suited for portraiture and landscape photography as it is for travel vlogging and filmmaking. Image quality, video capability, and autofocus are all top-notch, better than or on par with the best. The ergonomics and menus are well thought-out and there's no shortage of lenses to choose from. Whether starting out, moving to mirrorless, or upgrading, the a6700 is a solid choice.
The new Sony A6700 brings the quality and functionality of the crop sensor cameras right up to the same ballpark as the full-frame cameras. Although there are obviously still advantages to the full frame range, the crop sensor does have the edge in potential portability. It is an interesting midpoint to be at – small enough to be a significant advantage for travel and large enough to not look ridiculous when coupled up with a full-frame lens.
Sony delivers everything you'd expect in the A6700: a small, comfortable camera with great photography and video skills boosted by impressive autofocus and real-time tracking abilities.
The Sony a6700 mirrorless camera handles likes its predecessors thanks to its small body and corner-mounted EVF, but a new sensor, an AI-assisted focus system, and better video features are all compelling reasons to upgrade.
The A6700 becomes Sony’s most capable hybrid APSC camera to date, confidently capturing high quality photos and videos in a wide variety of situations. For stills shooters, the highlight is Sony’s best autofocus system, tracking people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes. Couple it with the E 70-350 zoom and you have a formidable combination for wildlife, sports and action that remains very compact and lightweight.
All in all, the Sony A6700 offers the best all-around performance you can find, especially if you value autofocus reliability most. It's well-built, portable yet capable. It definitely finds itself at the top of the pile for even the most serious enthusiasts, and even makes an excellent "side camera" for working pros.
