In some limited testing that I did, I found that the a6700 didn't overheat if you shoot in 4K/24 8-bit 4:2:0 at 60mbps. I ran a full battery and didn't even get a high temp warning. This could be a solution for people if they're willing to sacrifice a bit of quality and would give you similar results to an a7III anyway but with much better AF performance and no 30-minute record limit
Not a bad compromise my man. I like that solution to be honest! Doesn’t solve the dual recording unfortunately. So far I’m enjoying the a7iii but haven’t put it fully through its paces yet. Can’t wait
Great questions and the image quality is insane and not an issue compared to FF, I would save the little extra cash if you don't need it for long record times. It's an amazing camera!
I'm just an enthusiast so I don't run video for extended periods. I get what you're saying. But for me, this is a beast in the best possible way. Great video.
Great video. I bought an a6700 camera and there is a heat problem. (of course, my memory card is uhs1 v30). I need to record long videos of about two or three hours for an interview in 4k-24 format and of course 4.2.0 8bit is enough for me. In your opinion, by purchasing a uhs2-v90 memory card and according to the said format, will I still face heat problems? If your answer is yes, isn't it better to buy an Alpha A7C? Thank you for guiding me with your experience.
that's a long time at 2-3 hours, is that continuous filming without turning the camera off straight? have you thought about recording to an external monitor? changing your card or switching to a7c won't help you unfortunately
@@MattyDCCollins Thanks for the replay. I am a musicologist and for my research I have been recording long-term interviews for a long time. I used to use a Canon 80D and I recently switched to mirrorless cameras and bought a6700. I have thought about an external recorder or a monitor, but the conditions Finances do not allow me to do this at the moment. Of course, by long-term recording, I mean about two hours, after which I can take a break and start recording again. Some RUclipsrs told me that with a7c in 4k-24 format, I can easily continue recording without worrying about the temperature rising. to give Thank you if you can help me in this matter.
Love it man! The A7iii was my B cam for a while and it is solid man. I have nothing bad to say about it. 8 bit is completely fine because I'm assuming you majorly use it for ceremony and speeches like I did and you typically don't need any crazy colour editing there anyways.
@@MattyDCCollins there is a issue that the shutter will prematurely break around 10k photos which is usually right after the warranty runs out. You can search online there is a lot of videos on it.
Hi there! Great content, subscribed! I'm in Canada and trying to decide between ZV-e10 ($900) and A6700($1900) for RUclips language teaching video content, both with Sigma 16mm.. I have good lights and sound. Any suggestion on which camera I should go for? Many thanks.
Steve what’s going on man! Where in Canada you from? And what camera are you currently using? I would say you’re good with the e10 and it’s even on sale right now but if you want to wait a couple months the zve10 II will be coming out and might be the perfect value camera for you!
Hi Matty! I'm over on the East Coast in Halifax, NS. How about yourself? This will be my first camera so I'm as rookie as it gets. I've got my language teaching content mapped out, got my lights, got some mics, and just need my camera. It will be medium to long form content - let's say 8min up to 2 hours. I do have an iPhone 12 and I know the rational thing to do is just use that, but I'm a musician and therefore a gear nut and therefore I want a dedicated solution. And I'm going to go for your suggestion e10. As. you said, it's on sale now, so good time to buy. Thanks for the feedback @@MattyDCCollins
But the A7III has a recording limit of 30 mins - that's a big bummer for me, searching for a B cam I don't have to worry about while operating my A cam.
@@MattyDCCollins I don't own an A7III. I have an A7IV and I'm looking for a new B-cam. I sold my FX30 because it was annoying for me not to be consistent with my lenses due to the crop. I was considering the A7III, but the recording limit was a bit no no. The A7C on the other hand, doesn't have the recording limit, but comes with only one card slot - with that being said, I'm still searching for my perfect B-cam :)
I’m gonna learn as much about this camera as I can and do a video on it but yes it’s an amazing camera for most people. Of course it depends on your usage
@@mex5341 you are so right hahaha it was my bad. Not 120 fps I mean 30 and 60 fps. This guy has a video about the update. ruclips.net/video/XyzaNl2H5c4/видео.htmlsi=sYzlBpOQoi8xnWJc

Appreciate the humility in explaining why it didn't work for you withou discounting the product overall, thank you
I appreciate you saying that instead of leaving a negative comment about my choice like a few others haha

Fair point! How do you feel about the image quality compared to a Sony FF? Is it worthy saving some cash for a non professional person?
Thanks!
Great questions and the image quality is insane and not an issue compared to FF, I would save the little extra cash if you don't need it for long record times. It's an amazing camera!
Do you know if it‘s worth upgrading to the a7iv from a6700 will the stabilisation be better (using a gimbal and standard/active)?
Nah, stabilizations similar, don't upgrade just for that reason
I'm just an enthusiast so I don't run video for extended periods. I get what you're saying. But for me, this is a beast in the best possible way. Great video.
Yeah I wish my use case was the same cause this thing is a powerhouse for sure. Thanks for the love on the video :)

I have had an a7iii overheat however so long as you have that screen out you'll be fine
Thanks buddy that’s good to know!

Spoken like a true professional! Yeah locked off shots 💯 will have to give it a try!
Hey dude, you rock! Keep on doing what you're doing!
Sam! Thanks for the appreciation buddy! Keep spreading the positivity 👊
A7iii was just on sale during the holidays for 1400 great price. However after research it appears they still have the failing shutter issue.
Yeah I saw that! What a deal… but what is the failing shutter issue? Tell me more :)

You should had gone for the FX-30.
Yeah I looked in to it but I’m a hybrid shooter and it has no viewfinder :(
@@MattyDCCollins it so interesting that a viewfinder is such a big deal for people, i literally never use it
Yeah so true it’s one of those things that fits your style or doesn’t
But the A7III has a recording limit of 30 mins - that's a big bummer for me, searching for a B cam I don't have to worry about while operating my A cam.
yeah that's a great point, how have your overheating results been in 4k 24fps with the a7iii?

@@eike.zender sony doesnt make a perfect camera, purposefully lol. just get the C and use an external recorder, or get another iv
Sony a6700 for the win
I do love it! Just wish it fit my workflow a bit better :)
Do you think a7s3 worth it in 2024?
Ofc there's currently no replacement the question is do u want A7S3 or FX3
I’m gonna learn as much about this camera as I can and do a video on it but yes it’s an amazing camera for most people. Of course it depends on your usage
yes, a6700 could be a good camera but Overheating is the worst part
it's amazing for people who don't need long record times :)
What about the new update? They say you can record minimum 2 hours at 120 fps.
@@edjela ajajja , ofc no. It’s impossible
@@mex5341 you are so right hahaha it was my bad. Not 120 fps I mean 30 and 60 fps.

I felt the same way when I realized it wouldn't work for my use case :(
