Compact mirrorless body for multi-hyphenate creators
The Sony a6700 pairs a 26.0MP Exmor R APS-C BSI CMOS sensor with the BIONZ XR processor to deliver high-resolution stills and oversampled UHD 4K video in a body that weighs less than its predecessor. It targets photographers and videographers who need one camera for both disciplines without carrying cinema-sized gear. Real-time tracking AF and 5-axis pixel-level stabilisation keep subjects sharp while moving.
Build quality and connectors for daily workflow
The magnesium-alloy chassis feels solid yet light, and the deep grip lets you hold the camera steady during 11 fps bursts or long handheld takes. A full-size HDMI port outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 footage directly to an external recorder, while the USB-C connection supports fast tethering and in-camera charging. Dual dials and a customisable front dial put exposure changes under your fingers without menu diving.
Upgrade path and when the jump pays off
Moving from a 24MP APS-C body without 10-bit video or AI subject recognition, the a6700 adds 120p 4K, S-Log3, S-Cinetone and 759-point phase-detection AF covering 93% of the frame. The sensor reads out fast enough for 59 compressed raw frames in a burst, so sports and wildlife shooters see fewer blackout gaps. If you only need 8-bit 4K 30p and basic tracking, the step up brings less visible benefit.

Questions about this item
What bit depth and chroma subsampling does the UHD 4K 120p video use?
The camera records UHD 4K at up to 120p in 10-bit 4:2:2, giving more grading latitude than 8-bit 4:2:0 footage.
Which lens mount does this body use, and will my existing E-mount lenses cover the APS-C sensor?
It uses the Sony E mount; all E-mount lenses fit, and APS-C lenses cover the sensor natively while full-frame lenses operate in crop mode.
How do I enable the 759-point phase-detection AF with real-time tracking for video, and what setting is often missed?
Set Focus Mode to AF-C, choose Tracking as the Focus Area, then select your subject on the touchscreen; the step many miss is assigning Focus Standard to a custom button for instant engagement.
