I think I keep watching a lot of videos comparing these two cameras to try to convince myself to buy the 6700, but the video limitations worry me. Now it's much clearer, great video, bro!
I did some research on the a6700 and fx30 and stumbled upon ur channel and i gotta say that I really like ur content. Right now I cant really decide between those two. I feel a lot more drawn towards videography but i kinda want to keep the option to make great photos. the fx30 is a crazy camera that i fell like i can grow with but its also a little bit more pricey in comparison to the a6700. If I pick the a6700 im afraid it might fall short later down the line in terms riging, dual card slots, hdmi and so on. Im really at a crossroad here and I am interested in your perspective regarding this issue that I have. Im aware that only I can make that decision by myself but what would u recommend my as an aspiring creative?
Thanks for this video. The more I see the a6700, the more I think it would make a great second camera to my FX30. Now, I just have to decide is it worth the left, or right kidney. Hmmm.
I received mine last week. It is a great camera and the image quality is amazing. It does over heat in long form content with 4k30 and above. But using 424 it last all day for me. I pre-ordered the Ulanzi fan that should be here the first of the month, and hopefully it will help me record in 430 for longer videos once again. This is a user coming from the ZV-E10 which never overheated on me.
@@armorabskrabs1 I have. I do get longer in 4k30 but it still overheats when I 4 k30 in about 40 5o 50 minutes. .the Ulanzi fan works great and if plugged in I get hours of 4k30 recording.
A6700 has in many ways brought back the fun I used to have when taking photos and videos. Due to its small size it is super easy to get the shot you are looking for. However I find that I do not want to put the a6700 through rough environments, it is a more delicate camera compared to fx30. I would grab the fx30 if I needed to shoot in rough or unpredictable environments. Other than that - a6700 is super nice
Is it me or the video quality breaks down to around 240-144p quality and certain parts of the video? It's set manually to 4K quality so doubt it has anything to do with that.
If youre a normal dude, the a6700 is more up folks alley as it would be more versatile. If youre a video professional, i think id still go with the a6700 because it would be more versitle. Id get the fx30 only if video is the only thing you have going on for it.
I have a client that wants to start a podcast but doesn't want to spend a ton of money on the gear for it. I'm thinking about suggesting the A6700 for the cameras since we will need 3 and they need to look good. I really think it's a strong option since the footage won't need to be heavily graded or processed.
I’d expect the a6700s to overheat in a podcast setting, and data integrity is dicey with a single card slot and long takes. Used FX30s might be a better option, they float about only $100 more than a new a6700.
I also recommend the ZV-E10 for podcast with the Camlink 4k capture card. ZV-E10 has never over heated on me. That's simply based on the price. I will also say that streaming in 1080P on the A6700 has not overheated as well., but absolutely has in 4k
Thanks for a really really really good info video! 1. The A6700 is NOT a beginner's camera :). This camera, in the hands of a pro, can do anything. 2. I'm baffled by the obsession with 4k/6k/10 bit, etc. You do NOT need these levels! Great movies can be made out of 1080p :). Why am I making this point? Simple!-talk to any videographer and they will tell you that shooting even a 15 min humble video at 4k is going to require almost 500,000 gigabytes of data, considering what you are editing out, etc. For all the talk about the need for 4k how many out there really want to mess with such issues of STORAGE. I would love for MUCH more attention to be paid to the process and best ways to create safe storage for folks who are venturing into video. It is a HUGE issue that is rarely talked about. 3. Of course, if you reduce your video on the A6700 to 1080p you will be generally safe from overheating.
With HEVC you have the same datarates with 4K 10-bit as you did with 4K 8-bit in older cameras. The 1080p quality on these Sonys isn't very good so I wouldn't really recommend them for that. If you don't want the newer features and want to avoid overheating the a6600 in 4K mode does a great job (I use it with Cine 2 for extended dynamic range).
I added a 👍. However to use either camera for video I believe they need a pz lens with extended range. From the reviews that I have read about Sony E mount pz lenses, there are not that many, they are old, they tend to be heavy, they can't zoom that fast, and they are expensive. There are used models at a lower price, but you don't know their quality. Manual zoom is fine for photos, but power zoom is what needed to video.
Kofi, great video. Very informative and perfectly communicated. Keep up the good work. Btw, did you record your talking head shots on the a6700? Especially the talking head that you went outside? Thank you Kofi.
If you guys were gonna get into Sony for strictly TH-cam content...what would you start with? Selling my Canon photo gear to focus on video and already have a bmpcc6k rigged for bigger work. It will be specifically for TH-cam and live in a studio with a couple lenses. If I like it I may sell my cinema rig and jump in to something bigger later. Thanks in advance.
Hi! Thanks for the video man. I recently saw your video about the Lumix GH7 and I may ask you a question on which camera, in your honest opinion, gives you a better over all image quality? GH7 or the Sony a6700 ? In image quality I mean. Better dynamic range, low light performance, detail rendering etc.. I don't shoot RAW I just want the best out of 10bit 422 option like 24p and 60p that's all I need. Would very appreciate your honest opinion because I preordered the GH7 and I might cancel the order for a Sony A6700 or FX30 instead. Thank you in advance for your answer. Oh and I forgot to mention the Autofocus is also very very important for me. 😊
I don’t know the answer without them beside each other , at the threshold we’re at now, we’re splitting hairs , I’d worry more about camera workflow and ergonomics and menus rather than image, it’s all great mow
Is 6700 capable for a cinematographer who shoots in 4k 60 not continues shots but 15-30 seconds shots in 2-3 minute break cycle what say ? I am a cinematographer from india, and weather like here is really so hott for this body, generally I use camera on rent but now I want my own camera, fx30 is video only camera but I want a camera which can give me 100% value of my money! Not something which gets overheating all the time and have all the features, which camera you will suggest me? Also this video is so helpful man ! ❤
Can you output UHD 10bit 422 from the A6700 through the Micro HDMI? Not seen a reviewer cover this. This is super key for me as I want it as a gimbal camera for low budget narrative stuff and XAVC-SI kinda sucks compared to ProRes 422/422HQ on a Ninja.
@@KofiYeboah thanks for that! What’s the max resolution on the a6700 can the V60 card record to? I’m aiming max 4k60, won’t go beyond that. V60 works? Cheers!

TH-cam compression at some point’s decided to nerf the video quality, idk what happened but I can’t really fix it 😢
This has happened to me before as well, if you find a fix please let us know!!
thought it was my internet for a minute
I was super intrigued on this comparison! Dope to see 🤘🏽
I love what Sony is doing with the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
But please , they need to fix the overheating

@@KofiYeboah Maybe it's still processing? Do you publish the videos before them being fully processed? Just wondering.

To each their own tho
Great video as usual bro!
Thanks broski.!
More a6700 vs fx30 videos please
I have a few on deck!
Kofi, great video. Very informative and perfectly communicated. Keep up the good work. Btw, did you record your talking head shots on the a6700? Especially the talking head that you went outside? Thank you Kofi.
It’s actually on the fx30!
@@KofiYeboah thank you Kofi for the reply. I really appreciate it.
ive been trying to find a reason to get an fx30 but the a6700 auto focus is so good. they need to add it to the fx30!!
Hopefully !
@@KofiYeboah running into some over heating with the a6700 with stress tests. Gunna do practical use today and see how it holds up

Remember all the times I said you should get a RED, I bought a Sony A6700 now too. haha fire videos tho
the KX fixed things I wanted them to fix, so it worked out!
Ooo bruh, TH-cam's compression went hard on your video around the 5:12 mark! 😢
Long as it left my test footage alone 😂
No kidding. Full on pixel art at one point.

It is capable but add some fans to it to make sure it will be able to hold longer. @6700 with fan still lot cheaper than fx30
I own a Fuji X-T5. I love it but i feel like a A6700 or an FX30 would make my workflow easier and faster. Should i switch?
I don’t know, that’s up to you man
Depend on what you do. If you rely on af. Sony is better, for color without grading fuji will be more easier

I dont have a micro HDMI unfortunately so im not sure
Have just dug through Sony's official spec sheet and it seems like it should be 422 10 bit at up to UHD 60P@@KofiYeboah
Great to know 😁😁😁
My A6700 had never overheated. But if it ever did, I have a magnetic iPhone cooler.
Nice !
The comparison between both of these cameras seems very similar to how Sony differentiates the A7SIII & FX3
Really the ZVE1,A7siii, FX3 and even the FX6/FR7, 5 cameras have the same damn sensor ahah
@@KofiYeboah Didn’t realize it was 5 cams, that’s insane! Lol
Lol if it ain’t broke don’t fix it I guess
Kofi If u could pick just one.. no matter the reasons, price of anything else.. just pick one between A7IV and 6700.. what do u pick?
Neither, there has to be some context when spending $1400 or $2500, and I don’t think it’s wise to remove those just to make a decision
It’s a shame you tested the overheating with the screens shut, and flat against the body. In my testing, this dramatically affects the overheating.
good to hear!
You are explanation was dam good 😮
Thanks, I hope it made sense!
I got fx30 but I end up getting a6700 just because smaller design and i actually bring out more when traveling😅🤣
Whatever works !
Aye bro I need a gym luts ready to purchase a couple , I have 6700 w/ 30 mm sigma 1.4

hi, is there really a huge human AF efficiency difference between a6700 or FX30? thx

thx mate
I’m trying to record 4k24 log, can I use a V60 card?
Yeah!
@@KofiYeboah thanks for that! What’s the max resolution on the a6700 can the V60 card record to? I’m aiming max 4k60, won’t go beyond that. V60 works? Cheers!
If you could have only one lens for the fx30 or 6700 what would that be?
I wouldn't. I keep at minimum 3 for different situations and coverage!
Sigma 18-50 2,8 or Sony 16-55 2,8
For just one I'd start with the Sigma 28-50mm f2.8. I use it all the time on my a6600.
Let me just add, that full size HDMI connectors also suck and in most cases the connector will also disintegrate sooner or later
Ok
Same same, but diffeeerreeennnttttt 😂😂😂
absolutely ahah
How does the A7 iv stack with these in video quality?
I don’t have one anymore but I saw a video floating around with a comparison 👍🏾
A7iv has great video quality, better high iso performance also from what I’ve seen.. but it overheats on longer takes unfortunately.
A7iv has much worse rolling shutter too, if not waving it about can be excellent.@@philscanlan7321
thank you very helpful
You’re welcome!
question, whats the best sd card to use for the a6700 (somthing that 1tb and abpve)
