Great video. I upgraded from the a6600 and I think a used a6600 is better bang for buck if you're looking to buy either one of these. Particularly if you only need 4k24p. And I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade from the a6600 though. I like new and shiny things so I bought it and there are some great upgrades, but did I *need* to upgrade? Probably not. Additional note on overheating. The a6600 is MUCH better when you need to do 4K streaming or long form recording with a monitor hooked up via HDMI. I've gone for a few hours streaming with it, but on the a6700 it shuts down after about 1 hour of USB C streaming. It will also overheat after 1hr when long form recording at 4k24p with monitor attached. A small fan blowing on the a6700 helps a lot and Ulanzi has a fan attachment coming out soon.
Wish you compared the quality of the 1080P video for both cameras. The A6000 series of cameras are notorious for having soft 1080P. I’m wondering if they fixed it.
So long as you're saving settings for photo and video, you can also assign functions to the record button and in video, set the shutter to start recording.
Totally off topic, but maybe when you mention these long tricky combinations of letters, symbols and numbers (like 4:2:2 10 bit xavc-i) that you also put them in writing on the screen as you say them if you could do so in the future maybe? I'm not a professional when it comes to cameras and also english isn't my first language, so I would have to go back and listen a couple times to grasp what is being said because it's spoken really fast

For STILL PHOTOGRAPHY, how does the quality of the A6700 images compare to the α7CR in Super35 crop mode? What about the same question at high ISO, say at ISO 12,000?
@@ArmaanMudarris-mg2eo super35 crop mode reduces the resolution of the A7cR to a mere 28 megapixels compared to its 61 megapixel in normal mode. If you plan to use crop mode just get the aps-c camera
I bought an open box a6600 for the price of a new a6400. I wanted to compare the a6600 to the a6700 just to see what features I'm missing in comparison to their prices. I think I'm pretty happy with my decision. I'm getting a lot of camera for $750 instead of paying $1400 USD.
I was using A6400 and used it for occasional video, but mainly photos. The videos taken were mostly unusable. The Jello effect on it was horrible, And I don't want to carry a gimbal because of the added weight. Even though A6600 has IBIS, the Jello effect is also horrible there. In that regard, the A6700 is a nice upgrade because of the reduced rolling shutter.
I think it all depends on the user and what they’re using it for. I know about that awful jelly effect. If your on a gimbal it would remove that mostly
Hi, Is the jelly effects prominent in normal cinematic style videos too? In a6400/a6600? Won't use it for vlogging, but mostly for cinematic videos, so was having doubt which one to buy. A6700 is way much expensive.
I’m not sure if you’re under the impression that the A6600’s LCD screen doesn’t flip up if you want to film yourself, because it does, just like A6400.
Hi, Don't think so. You need to flip up the display ca 90 deg. Then pull a bit towards yourself, so the display will move away from the body, and Then you may flip another 90 deg. .. So it will be facing towards you, not on the side, but on the top of the camera.@@thefilmalliance
I have the A6600 but am considering it as a 2nd camera and going to get the A6700 as the main camera. I like the EVFs (regardless of quality) over something without it, for both photos and videos.
Do either of these have a "joy" or focus stick? Do any of the Sony ASPC lenses have an aperture ring on the lense? How do you like the a6700 compared to the Fugi xt50?
Good informative video. I'm leaning toward the A6600 out cost and me bing on the novice side. Question- would you recommend getting the camera with the 18-135 mm kit lens or just buy the body? Eric, Black Swan Odysseys
It will come in time my friend. Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I love the lens options aspect of the a6700. You can get a lot of good quality aps-c lenses on a budget.
I'm still somewhat worried about thr overheating. What kind of conditions were the overheating tests done in? I live in a climate in which summer temperatures usually stay around 23 degrees celsius and was wondering if it would affect me as well. I would mostly shoot 4k 24.
Thanks for this video. Can you check it if possible both of them can use same smallrig cage? Because i have a6700 and i cant find cage for my camera but rig for a6600 in stock. Thanks a lot.
I dont have the A6700... but you mention you were able to record 4K 60 with XAVC-SI. Do you need the v90 card for this codec? I cannot use that codec with v60 on my FX30.
So question, is S-Cinetone available in 8-Bit. I don't even mind going to 8-bit if it helps overheating as long as S-Cinetone is there. I like it straight out of camera other than very minimal tweaks so I could live with it. I just feel like the 6700 has so many advantages over previous models that I really want to pull the trigger.
@@thefilmalliance Thanks, I am actually selling off my R6II and full set of lenses and getting out of paid work so it definitely fits the budget, just want to make the right decision. I have owned the a6400 a6600 and to this day they were my favorite cameras for all the features they gave me while still being portable. This camera will be more for me to pursue the things I enjoy on a personal level. My biggest concern was I like to do sports highlights so 4K60 is important. Thank you again for the reply.
seems that 6700 over heating issue. i plan to buy 67000. now, im having zv e10 right now for street food video shooting wihtout any heating issue start and stop about 100 clips. the whole street food took me about 3-4hours. i used to 4k 24p with zv-e10 , every shoot for about 90 seconds. sometime i switch to 1080 100p for slow motion for a about 10clips. i wanted to know if im changing to 6700, will there be any heat up issue with the scenario i mentioned.
I live in an extremely hot and humid place where its not rare to get 43 degrees celcius (110f) on a normal summer day. I have tested the a6700 in these conditions and am getting around 1 hour 45 minutes of continuous shooting at 4k 24p 10bit 4.2.2 max settings and around 45 minutes at 60p.
Wait on that. Have you experienced overheating? I have not and have used this camera pretty much non stop since I’ve had it. Don’t shoot in 4:2:2 10 bit xavc-i in 60 for 27 mins straight and you’ll be good. Take my word for it.

Hi, thanks for your detailed video. However, you are wrong about the EVF: Both resolution and magnification of the cameras (6700 and 6600) are exactly the same! Even the 6700 has got a rubber part (look for a small white paper envelope inside the box and you'll find it). What is different though is the brightness of the EVF (the 6700s EVF is brighter).
