Product Reviews

Excellent apsc camera, ment to be for beginners but this camera is away advanced A++++

Purchased recently as a travel sized body. Super impressed with all the features usually found in a full body, squeezed into this small APSC

This was my third Sony Camera and it is the most impressive in terms of the features that it included and the quality of its videos and fixed images. It is also easy to use and makes Photography and video shooting fun and exciting. I am not professional and hardly qualify as an amateur but this Camera has all that i need and plenty more to learn and improve. It is bit on the heavy side for its size and adding a good quality G lense would make it feel even more weighty. That's something that needs to be considered when choosing it.

Versatile camera for all photography challenges - landscapes, portraits, nature.

Significant improvement over my old A6300 especially the focusing speed

As a long time Alpha camera owner this is the most comfortable I've been with any camera.

This is now my second A6700 as my previous one was stolen in Barcelona, Spain. I am a novice user, but I find my A6700 helps me to take some amazing photos and videos. So much so that I am not producing some superb, almost pro quality work. I use my A6700 not only for work but also for pleasure ( mainly street photography ). Coupled with my Sony 16 - 55 F2.8 Sony lens it is a lightweight and extremely powerful combination. I previously had a A6400, I find the A6700 to be a great improvement. I am an extremely happy Sonny user :-)

This is the first sony I've owned i was a devoted cannon owner I'm a semi pro but sold all my cameras and equipment eg: studio lights and all of my cannon equipment. Basically went into retirement with photography. The bigger is difficult in the daily truth. But recently took a trip to Canada. I missed camera outperformed anything I've used before.

Autofocus locks on to bird eye and there is minimal noise in low light.

I have had many cameras over the years but this new SonyA6700 offers something for everyone. The Sony out of camera colour palette is superb and the AF is almost unbelievable, its ability to lock on to virtually any moving subject is uncanny, making sharp images available no matter what the subject is doing. The large grip is a joy and it holds the latest battery which will return approx 650 images meaning all day shooting is now possible without the need for an additional battery. Finally, thank you Sony for at last updating the menu system which used to be terrible. Over all this camera is certainly 5 stars.

I bought the camera and 16-50 lens kit as a lightweight travel camera. Previously have been a lifelong Canon user but the GX5 was just too small for me. It handles like a 'proper' camera and the quality is excellent. My only issue is that it is perhaps overly complex with too many programmable settings for a casual user and some of the advanced settings are impossible to work out given there are no manuals just a download link every time you have a problem. Sony didn't produce any training videos either so you are stuck with trawling through other enthusiast's submissions on YouTube. Am sure I will get there eventually, at the moment still learning my way through the system. If they had a camera with half the functionality available I would probably have bought that and given it 5 stars. Oh and apparently it shoots video.

Still getting used to the camera, but good so far. Auto focus excellent. Not tried video yet.

My first serious camera and I love how it's so versatile with the photo and video quality. You will need the best APSC lenses though to get the most out of it.

I havent event started going out yet. Just uograded my kit with just the body and I dont regret buying thia. The price point I think is just righ for its capability and my skills at present.

I bought this with initial purpose to replace my Sony a7iii. a7iii is good but too heavy to travel with. I was a Sony a6000 user but that camera was spoiled, so I deicded to get a new a6700. Pro of this camera 1. Good focusing with AI based 2. Good body build and good quality of the photo Cons 1. Noise level is not that great. Slightly above 6400 crated unacceptable noise

I love this camera,have been using it for 3 months already and I am completely satisfied with my choice. It has everything I need. I love the flip screen,the grip,the customizable buttons,the inbuilt image stabilization,etc. It just feels so good in the hands.

I bought this a month ago, so far I am still learning. Because I am still new to photography.

I want to love this camera but despite its blazing fast and accurate autofocus, which was one of the top reasons I chose it, it also has a couple of serious flaws. I've been using my 6700 almost daily for the past 4 months and feel that's a fair amount of time to make judgement. Physically, the proportions are excellent and it is much more comfortable holding the 6700 than my old a6000. The grip is basically perfect. The buttons and dials have an absolutely premium tactile feel. When working properly, the autofocus is killer. I've taken thousands of photos of food, people, cars, animals and insects, always in manual mode, and with the exception of one photoshoot, have only experienced autofocus failure a 3 or 4 times. During the failed photoshoot, the camera worked for the first 20 mins and then suddenly changed, indicating focus, appearing crisply focused, but when I actually pressed the shutter the photo would be completely out of focus. Occasionally I'd see the focus target square jump somewhere else just as I pressed the shutter, sometimes it would remain on the subject and indicate that it was focused. And yet over one hundred photos were totally out of focus as I experimented with settings. Turning it off and on again and pulling the battery did not solve the problem and I had to resort to full manual focus to finish the job. The second (well documented) problem is the atrocious viewfinders. The colour accuracy is deplorable and the colour adjustments are far too minimal. Despite this, photo colour accuracy is superb and I've been very happy with the vast majority of photos taken. Unfortunately my 6700 suffers from the also well-documented 'battery exhausted' problem. For those who don't know, the camera will sometimes believe the battery is exhausted even though it is charged, up to and including 100%. The solution to this is to remove the battery and put it back in, or put in a different battery. Very annoying. I'm hoping Sony fixes these issues for the next release. It is potentially an incredible camera.

As an amateur photographer this camera has everything I need and lots more to learn to get the most out of it. I have a small hand size and it fits the grip perfectly, although I think anyone with a large hand may find their small finger ends up underneath the grip, which could be ok for support. Although the camera can be set to work in Auto mode and do everything for you, there are so many other modes to learn and use to get the best out of the camera and best quality images. There are way too many features to discuss here, but so far I have to say its an easy recommendation from me to any amateur, and probably professional photgraphers, to get and use this camera.

Many people go after the Sony A7 series FF and are then dismayed the lenses are so big. You can't run away from that... so their APSC line makes a lot more sense because the lenses are more compact. If you can live with a phone camera... APSC is more than adequate and portable. A6700 is the best APSC for sony E-mount. Don't waste your money on their A7 series.

I purchased an A6700 to replace my NEX7, I've had the new camera for 1 month now, I understand why I need a fast SD card, The video footage is amazing at 4K, like wise the still photo's are amazing too. It was an excellent purchase.

The camera is well built and feel sturdy in the hand and is just the right size to slip into a bag, the features and image quality of this camera is amazing and the video capabilities seem endless! However if you come from the older menu systems (such as the ones on at the a6000 ) the new menu system may feel unnatural at first but you get used too it pretty fast.

Looking forward to taking this camera along with me when I go on my next journey .
