I was looking for a camera that was capable of both high quality photo and video to document life as it happens.
Upon hours and hours of researching and comparing camera's, I found this one. I have owned Nikon, Canon and now wanted to take a chance on Sony as I have always been intrigued by it. I highly recommend this camera. The functions are easy to understand, and this camera has great tracking and autofocus.
I also wanted to try making some short films.
Here is a link to one I made using this camera 16-50mm, f/3.5-5.6 lens. It's a good example of what kind of video you can expect from this camera.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=miAnjgjbxz8&pp=ygUPbmF0YWxpYSBtYXJraGFt
I was very pleased with the outcome. In the first week of owning this camera, I made a cooking short film, a prayer short film (Stills included below), pit stop one, and took some self-portraits.
Additionally, it is very easy to connect the camera to your phone and shoot remotely as well as transfer photos and videos quickly. The screen flipping all the way out also is a tremendous help when self-recording. If I had to choose all over again, I would choose this camera again.

I’ve been using the Sony a6700 for a few weeks now, and it’s hands down one of the most impressive APS-C mirrorless cameras I’ve tried. The autofocus is lightning fast and incredibly accurate, especially for tracking subjects in motion. Image quality is sharp with great dynamic range, and the colors straight out of the camera are vibrant and natural.
The addition of AI-based subject recognition makes a noticeable difference, especially for video work. Speaking of which, the 4K 120fps video is a game changer — smooth, detailed, and perfect for slow-motion footage. I also appreciate the improved ergonomics and the flip-out screen, which makes vlogging or self-shooting much easier.
Battery life is solid, the menu system feels more intuitive than older Sony models, and the build quality is rugged yet lightweight. Overall, the a6700 strikes an excellent balance between professional performance and portability — an ideal choice for hybrid shooters and content creators alike.

This camera has amazing quality and is extremely beginner friendly. There are a lot of buttons on this camera and a lot of settings that don't explain themselves. But for the beginner who wants to take good quality photos, the auto mode does a really good job. For video, while the camera does have the ability to record in 4k at 24,30,60, and 120 frames, the camera does overheat and will shut off, can realistically expect about 30 minutes at 60 frames in 4k. If you are a streamer, this camera should be able to stream in HD at 60 frames for as long as you need, also the camera can connect to your pc via usb-c and will ask if you are using it as a web cam. One thing i do find annoying is that even though the camera has a touch screen, the camera does not come with a screen protector. For how much the camera cost, and how often you will be using the screen, it seems like a weird oversight to not also include a screen protector.

So far a great camera. The unit is easy to use, I wish it had a slightly larger frame, my hands are large. But the thing is great. I have not had an overheat issue since I updated the software. if you are going to film a lot of 4k video, I would go with the next model up in the full frame. They tend to not overheat as much.

I purchased this camera with the idea of a compact travel camera. Let's just say I love it. Image quality is crystal clear, bright, and colorful. Navigating the controls is a breeze with the touch screen (you can change settings on screen without going into your menus). Definitely recommend.

Purchased for my husband for Christmas. He is going on an Elk hunt in September, with a group of family members and close friends. He needed something to catch all the action in the wild as well as the memories made at camp each night. Versatile and sturdy camera for travel. Plan to use it on all of our future vacations. Light weight, compact, can even track our son coming in for a landing at Dulles Airport. We have been Sony videocam owners since they were first introduced. The best one so far!

Watched a ton of YouTube videos before buying a new camera and kept coming back to the Sony A6700. Historically been a Canon loyalist but was not liking the limited lens options on their mirrorless cameras and also wanted something that was flexible without breaking the bank. The A6700 has been great for photos and video. I've been able to add a number of additional lenses to my collection on their standard e-mount format so have had no issues getting cost effective lenses to expand my options. Very easy to use, great quality pictures, and shooting in log for video has been awesome. Many advanced capabilities as well that are ready and available when I need them. Exceptionally pleased with this purchase! Why did I go APS-C vs Full Frame? At then end of the day both get me amazing resolution and APS-C is far less expensive to shoot in. I only feel like I'm giving up a little in the wide angle due to crop factor however more rhan make up for it on zoom as it gives me a lot more zoom. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
