I have the A6700, Sony 16-55 f2.8, Sony 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 and the Sony 11mm f1.8. It is a great setup for hiking and kayaking. The 16-55mm resolution is superb. The bulb mode which allows you to go past 30 seconds is really important if you want to use a star tracker or long exposure. With the bluetooth remote you don't have to touch the camera once everything is set up which really helps with a star tracker as you don't want to touch the camera and ruin your alignment.

That sounds like a fantastic set up. I can't say that I've tried using a star tracker - they look a bit too complicated for me 😂 but the Bluetooth remote sounds very convenient when you don't want to touch the camera at all.

The a6700 is simply the best digital camera I have ever used and owned. I also have the A7R3, and what a fantastic camera it is. Still is. The but is that the a6700 has the focusing technology straight from the A7R5 and that made it even more special than my A7R3. Still use the R3 a lot but when it comes to birding or catching honeybees doing their job, it's the a6700. The focusing is on and it is quick. The handling is superior with a great grip very similar to the a6600. It's just comfortable to use, like a well worn glove.

There's a L Bracket for the 6700 from Leophoto which does not block the screen as it's only a small addition to the left side, which is arca swiss compatible though Also you can shoot 10 bit in 4:2:0 which works in davinci. only 4:2:2 requires the paid version.

Why do you need a rig unless you are mounting additional equipments to the camera? You want to keep it small and light and then you go ahead and attach a rig! The cover on sensor is actually the shutter. And shutter could get damaged too. Also please try 10 bit slog3 once then you wouldn't want to go back to 8 bit :) Good detailed review. Thanks for sharing.

Here are the true solutions that we all need to the issues you described. In 2023 the viewfinder should be completely gone, a super bright display like the iPhone 15 Pro’s is the way to go. Pro grade computational photography is what we all need specifically the ability to blend 10s of exposures in a split second to produce a single RAW with insane DR. The L bracket shouldn’t be needed in the 1st place as tripods should be in the museum in 2023; instead solving the shutter speed issue as Apple did for complete hand held including 10s of exposure is the way to go. And we don’t need a dual card slot; instead adding an internal SSD is the way to go. A range finder style is much nicer than SLR style. The higher MP yes I agree with you. We also all need smart features such as Android OS instead of the cave age OS in all cameras, cloud connectivity, security (can’t believe a passcode is still missing).

There's a fair bit of wishful thinking here but I agree that by now there should be a bit more technology in mirrorless cameras by now - especially considering these types of things have been commonplace in smartphones for ages (another one that comes to mind is panorama stitching in camera). Maybe by 2034 we'll get all of these features in one camera 😂

If the Sony A6700 had the 40 megapixels sensor (which the Fuji X-H2 and X-T5 have), if it had a larger EVF with higher resolution and if it had a joystick, then it could be nice for nature and Landscape photography.

I honestly really considered the Fuji system but ultimately when weight is a consideration in your camera gear choices, those cameras and their lenses are just that bit heavier. I switched from the 42 megapixel a7rIII and so far, I'm not really missing the additional resolution to be honest. For me, the shooting experience with the a6700 is a real pleasure 😄

I had the Sony A7RIII, a great Camera, now I use Sony A7RIV Cameras and I think they have a perfect size for a full frame Camera. Sometimes I use my Sony A7RIV Cameras in APSC mode (26 megapixels), so I have two Cameras in one Camera, very nice ☺

None of that makes ANY difference at all. You need to use one every day and see the other easy ways there are to achieve what you want. It more than makes up for it in so many different ways that the Fuji can't compete with, one of which is autofocus

Thank you for your thoughts. You brought up some points i wasn't aware of, i.e. bright monitoring and i'm eager to try them out. And i'm waiting also for the day the eyecup is missing. With the A6700 i made the switch to Sony from Canon whose pathway of mirrorless cameras were not convincing to me. No regrets at all. I won't shoot you down, but biased as a DeVinci Resolve user i disagree on your evaluation in that direction. Every user has its own requirements and the free version is feature complete for many people. But for a one time fee of a basic lens you get a lifetime license with some benefits. It includes besides 10-Bit-Color also support for 120fps, lens distortion and extended noise reduction which matches fine with the A6700s capabilities. There are more features in the pro version and recently they added 3D audio and some machine learning tools. After using the free version for quite some time it felt fair to me to pay the developers for this excellent piece of software and great support. Yeah, and i wanted that extra features. ;) But that's just me and others may disagree and that's fine as well.

The a7c2 is a really popular camera and allows full frame shooters to have great quality in an even smaller package than the a7iv but small, light lenses are still lacking on full frame so for hiking, your gear ends up being that bit heavier.

I will say that I believe this is one of the most well balanced cameras that you can currently buy.
