I shoot Fuji (XT5 and X100V) and I shoot portraits and headshots for a living. My XT5 has all kinds of autofocus issues. I made the “mistake” of trying the A6700 at my local camera store the other day and I was so blown away that I’m gonna sell my XT5 and lenses and get the A6700 and the Sigma trio. It’s just insane. Gonna keep my X100, but I’m going to Sony. And I tried Nikon, Canon, even the A7IV. All too heavy and expensive. I’m 53, and my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be and my back can’t stand carrying heavy rigs. I value speed, light weight, affordability, sharpness and autofocus reliability. For the work I do (portraits, headshots, some run and gun family shoots, and RUclips videos, APS-C is perfect). The A6700 is the one for me. Can’t wait.
Hey! Wow that is so great to hear! It's hard to not love this camera honestly. You made a great point about weight, affordability and quality. I never thought of it that way but you're totally right. The lenses are WAY lighter than full frame. I just got home from a wedding and I can FEEL those full frame lenses haha. Probably more so in the morning lol.
Just bought this, thanks for the video
You’re gonna love it!

What do you guys think? Is the Sony A6700 a great fit for you? If so, what will you be using it for mostly? Photo, video? Both?
