What i don't like about new sony a6000 series is that from a6600 bodies began to get bigger and heavier, I know battery is bigger and stand longer, but I still prefere smaller, and lihgter bodie due to travelling where every gram is important.
There are reasons... -Price (It's not $1400). Used it's more like $600 in 2024. -Size & weight.

Hey! I have the a6000. I am not interested in videos but would an upgrade to the a6700 be good for low light and autofocus? Thinking especially of wildlife photography. Thank you!
I wouldnt think the low light and autofocus would be that noticeable if you havent been having problems. The denoise ai feature of adobe is excellent if you use that. But if you’re missing focus often on your animals, then sure the ai animal tracking is good to have.
If you do not need 10 bit, logs and 4k 60 fps - you can go easily with 6400. Cause iso grain - same; stabilizer on any sony - not working solution cause of small bayonet. Autofocus is good on 6400 also.
I forget. If you film dynamic scenes in 4k horizontal - go for 6700. Cause of rolling shutter. If 4k dynamics in vertical - on 6400 also ok, plus minus.

One thing that is still unclear to me is whether I can record externally from the a6400 through its HDMI port, and if so, would I be able to get a valid 10-bit data file from that recording. The potential problem I see is if the data recorded would be exactly the same 8-bit that the camera might record internally, whether it is recorded as 10-bit or not.
1000kbps? Not 1000mbps? The image quality is good coming out of your camera. Esp if you light yourself. I don’t believe investing in any of these cameras would be worth it just for live streaming unless its a workflow thing vs image quality.
A6400 is good for the money if you like photo and video. Zv-10 is great for vlogging. The new mark ii for it just released. Full frame, a7iv or a7cii are great entry.
What about for Live Streaming on Twitch? I stream anywhere from 6-12 hours a day, 5 days a week. I’m currently on a Canon M50 and debating between getting the Sony A6700 or the Sony ZV-E1
I have a video comparing those two on my channel. Both excellent cameras, zv-e1 is better just more costly with the lenses depending on what you get. I’ve never kept these cameras running that long but I’m guessing you keep those plugged in for power or use a dummy battery.
@@MikeBSalazar Yes! Through OBS. And honestly something that is just reliable LMFAO. I’ve dealt with my Canon M50 freezing for 3+ years. I have a lot of friends in the streaming space that all either have either the A6700 or ZV-E1 and what just comes down to is price difference. The ZV-E1 might be a little TOO good for my specific setup lol. My background is very detailed with my plushie collection, and too much bokeh would have them all looking like blobs LOL. Common consensus is that the ZV-E1 tends to overheat. And then little to no cons with the A6700 which is why I’m leaning more towards it. Streaming at 1080p at 60fps or 4K is definitely preferred.

@@Jana-cj2yk Ah I see. Generally I like the FX30 because it's got an internal fan (not loud too). Plus it's in between the price of the ZV-E1 and the A6700. You can still pair a Sigma 16mm to it.
if you are using a stabilized lense (17-70 sigma for example) on the a6400 and u work with davinci for stabilisation, u wont have any problems with shaky footage. I have this exact combo and i can film buttersmooth footage even handheld
Dont forget that the processor is so much better than the a6400/a6600. More features than just human and animal eye af. Also its more advanced and sticks to the subject better than previous models. Thats why I upgraded from the a6600. Plus it has the best grip of all A6xxx series and a front wheel dial for the first time.
May have been more informative had you posted your video in 4k. I found it difficult to decipher the difference in quality between the two cameras on my 4K monitor. Also, one of the sample comparisons mislabeled the cameras. Good topic though.
Do some research on how to make comparison videos. It's just so chaotic and not structured. There's so much to improve on the actual script part of your videos lol.

The sony a6400 has not heating up issues whatsoever. I used the 6400 since it came out. Unfortunately we cannot say the same for the a6700 particularly when shooting at 4k 60.
I bought a A6400 at a really good price and it may not be top of the charts but it slams out some really good photos. I’d like to venture into film one day but it will take some time to learn.
@@MikeBSalazar ☺️ I’m super excited. Coming from DSLR side it’s nearly an entirely new learning curve but it lights up that spark again the one when you just got your rig and everything is a photo / video opportunity ☺️ Thank you for the vid it’s really helped me (one day that A7 IV😁)
Hmm. I have the a6400. Only missing out on the image stabilization bothers me. I shot B-roll handheld at 120fps a few times and the was unsolvable in post. Still happy with the a6400, as it is only for shooting video testimonials.
Sony a6700 or Can R50 ? Else Sony a6400 or Canon r50 ? Which would be the best? My requirement is mainly for casual photography. And mainly looking for recent launch models.
Thanks for comparing these. Did you notice any improvement in low light (without any night/low noise mode) in a6700 as it comes with back illuminated sensor? Also with activie stabilization it crops a bit, so is it not using the full size of the sensor with that setting, would it affect the pixel size? If it is so then enabling that may impact noise levels, right?
I wouldn’t say there is a low noise mode or anything like that. It’s just the sensor. If I crank up the ISO, I tried to keep it at 2500 but I will even go up to 6400 if I need to. I’m not sure about affecting the pixel size, but the amount of pixels use perhaps. If anything, it’s more noticeable when using 4K 120.
@@MikeBSalazar Thanks for the response. Basically what I simply wanted to understand that due to difference in sensor. Is a6700 any better in low light when compared to a6400 without any low noise mode? Example: a photo taken using a6700 at night at ISO say 4000 (in normal mode) would be less noisy compared to a6400 ???
@@HeLithium Naa.. actually a7c only records 4K @24/30 fps which I can't compromise with a new camera 😀, I need atleast 4K 60fps and 10 bit is also good to have (a7c lacks that as well). a7c2 would be great pick, but I would not like to invest that much being a hobbyist. Thus a6700 is good for me thus I wanted to understand the improvement in low light with the newer back illuminated sensor.
Hey mate, love the video. New to photography and looking for my first camera. Been eyeing out the a6700 but is quite expense. But I'm willing to fork it out if it means i dont need to upgrade for a long time. (Use till break). I mainly looking to do car, travel, landscapes and night time photography. Do you think its still good to go for the a6700 for the long run? Or any other suggestions?😊
So, I have a 6400 and I am planning to start a pre-wedding film studio. The way you have outlined it's features, it is going to fall short. As I am going to need the stabilization, multiple sd cards and the longer shoot times (full frame doesn't hurt either). At the same time, I think from the photos it has taken, it is good enough for the photos that I am going to deliver. As well as all the recci and mock-shoot that I am going to do. So what I am thinking is to rent an a7 S 3 for a day to shoot the film and then use this camera for everything else. Which makes me think who is the 6700 for? If you want something as your daily camera 6400 and the z series is good enough. If you want to deliver on your client work, it is better to spring for a full frame sensor camera. And the 6700 is nearly as expensive as an A7 iv and you might even find an a7 iii second hand for cheaper with lenses for cheaper. The same can be said for an a 7 s2 if you specifically want video. What is an a 6700 even there for?
0:43 what's this lens cover? More importantly, I have sony zv e10 that I've used for about 2 years. But I simply miss having a viewfinder. I mostly do still photography - day and night cityscapes - and short (10-15 minute) videos. Which upgrade would you suggest? 6400 or 6700 or something else? My budget is 1200 max. Thank you!
Kondor blue body cap. Unless you’re getting the a6700 used, a6400 is your bet. Unless you really need those video upgrades/features just stick to a6400.
hey Mike, appreciate the helpful comparison video! I'm looking to buy my first Sony camera and debating between these two models. Would you say a6400 with Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens is a better buy than a6700 with 16-50mm lens? Or do you have other lens to recommend that would significantly improve the performance of a6400 over a6700? I'm interested in both photography and videography as I shoot some travel/road trip vlogs. Thanks a lot!
I have been wanting to upgrade from my action cameras(gopro and osmo action. I do like the compactness of the action cameras xD. Do you recommend the 6700 or the fx30?
Depends on your needs. I like the fx30 for paid work with dual sd cards and ergonomics. A6700 i like for casual every day stuff and also the mechanical shutter.
dude, there are many errors in your video,,, many times you are saying a6700 and the video is showing a6400 ,,, and then a67400,,, and the information about IBIS, you showing a6700 footage and talking about a6400... so confusing and not trust worthy take.
7:23 you said you don't recommend either of these cameras for podcasts. I'm primarily looking for a good camera which has no video recording limit (because podcast!) and prefer a budget option. Which ones do you recommend?
These cameras would be fine if you're recording for up to an hour, or if you're doing like a remote podcast and are recording something through like OBS. But if you're long winded it's almost cheaper to just buy a camcorder.
What Sony camera are you currently shooting with?

Useless upgrading for photography
Video really is the main reason for the upgrade for sure.
a6700 has focus bracketing that's missing in a6400, but you can do it with apps
will a gimball fix some of the isues (stabilization) when recording video with the a6400? Specialy moving from one side to side.
There is no stabilization built into the a6400. So a gimbal is practically a must if you will be doing those kind of movements.

@@MikeBSalazar ☺️ I’m super excited. Coming from DSLR side it’s nearly an entirely new learning curve but it lights up that spark again the one when you just got your rig and everything is a photo / video opportunity ☺️
Thank you for the vid it’s really helped me (one day that A7 IV😁)
Hmm. I have the a6400. Only missing out on the image stabilization bothers me. I shot B-roll handheld at 120fps a few times and the was unsolvable in post. Still happy with the a6400, as it is only for shooting video testimonials.
I know that struggle. I don’t often carry around a gimbal, but when I do, it comes in handy.
Sony a6700 or Can R50 ? Else Sony a6400 or Canon r50 ? Which would be the best? My requirement is mainly for casual photography. And mainly looking for recent launch models.
I’m not familiar with the Canon system but if you’re mostly focused on photography, the a6100 may be better for you. A6400 adds more video features.
The biggest issue imo is that 6400 has terrible rolling shutter issue. What about 6700?
should be solved with a6700
Thanks for comparing these. Did you notice any improvement in low light (without any night/low noise mode) in a6700 as it comes with back illuminated sensor?
Also with activie stabilization it crops a bit, so is it not using the full size of the sensor with that setting, would it affect the pixel size?
If it is so then enabling that may impact noise levels, right?
I wouldn’t say there is a low noise mode or anything like that. It’s just the sensor. If I crank up the ISO, I tried to keep it at 2500 but I will even go up to 6400 if I need to.
I’m not sure about affecting the pixel size, but the amount of pixels use perhaps. If anything, it’s more noticeable when using 4K 120.
@@MikeBSalazar Thanks for the response.
Basically what I simply wanted to understand that due to difference in sensor. Is a6700 any better in low light when compared to a6400 without any low noise mode?
Example: a photo taken using a6700 at night at ISO say 4000 (in normal mode) would be less noisy compared to a6400 ???
@@Vicky-il5yvif you want better low light performance just get the a7c. Almost the same price as a6700
@@HeLithium Naa.. actually a7c only records 4K @24/30 fps which I can't compromise with a new camera 😀, I need atleast 4K 60fps and 10 bit is also good to have (a7c lacks that as well).
a7c2 would be great pick, but I would not like to invest that much being a hobbyist.
Thus a6700 is good for me thus I wanted to understand the improvement in low light with the newer back illuminated sensor.
@@Vicky-il5yvJust get quick lenses like the Sigma F1.4s.
This is one of the best comparisons i have seen. You are awesome!
I appreciate the feedback. Thank you!

Hey mate, love the video. New to photography and looking for my first camera. Been eyeing out the a6700 but is quite expense. But I'm willing to fork it out if it means i dont need to upgrade for a long time. (Use till break).
I mainly looking to do car, travel, landscapes and night time photography.
Do you think its still good to go for the a6700 for the long run? Or any other suggestions?😊
Only do a6700 if you really want the video spec bump but it photos is more your intent then a6400 is plenty.
So, I have a 6400 and I am planning to start a pre-wedding film studio. The way you have outlined it's features, it is going to fall short. As I am going to need the stabilization, multiple sd cards and the longer shoot times (full frame doesn't hurt either). At the same time, I think from the photos it has taken, it is good enough for the photos that I am going to deliver. As well as all the recci and mock-shoot that I am going to do. So what I am thinking is to rent an a7 S 3 for a day to shoot the film and then use this camera for everything else.
Which makes me think who is the 6700 for? If you want something as your daily camera 6400 and the z series is good enough. If you want to deliver on your client work, it is better to spring for a full frame sensor camera. And the 6700 is nearly as expensive as an A7 iv and you might even find an a7 iii second hand for cheaper with lenses for cheaper. The same can be said for an a 7 s2 if you specifically want video. What is an a 6700 even there for?
@@abmstudio3678 a7iii even new is now cheaper but is 8 bit vs the 10 bit and plenty of newest features of the a6700.
I have 6400.. 6700 provides colourfull photos or same as 6400?
I would say just as the same. Haven't noticed that big of a difference.
Thank u so much. I will wait for sometime and upgrade to fullframe …
you can pick picture profiles in both
i have the a6000. I dont want to spend way too much. Would the a6400 be a good upgrade?
yes, the a6400 would be an excellent upgrade for the video features and still have great photography ergonomics as well.
I didn’t expect to see a pop! cover here😭
Sorry bout that
I have a Canon 1300 D should i Upgrade to 6400 oder next to 6700?🙈
Depending what you shoot. But a6400 is a good entry with lenses.
@@MikeBSalazar or the 6600?😂
Can we customize our a6100 (c1) button
To a puase and resume button
??????????
Pause and resume for video playback?
Thanks for that. Not interested in video so I guess the 6400 is for me.
You’re welcome. If you don’t need the viewfinder and value a flip screen more, others also prefer the Sony ZV-E10.
0:43 what's this lens cover? More importantly, I have sony zv e10 that I've used for about 2 years. But I simply miss having a viewfinder. I mostly do still photography - day and night cityscapes - and short (10-15 minute) videos. Which upgrade would you suggest? 6400 or 6700 or something else? My budget is 1200 max. Thank you!
Kondor blue body cap. Unless you’re getting the a6700 used, a6400 is your bet. Unless you really need those video upgrades/features just stick to a6400.
@@MikeBSalazar thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Does the a700 have ac power supply for long video coverage?
Power supply is good, but it depends if it’ll overheat on you within an hour or so.
you can buy mock batteries for all camera models, this way you plug them to power supply
hey Mike, appreciate the helpful comparison video! I'm looking to buy my first Sony camera and debating between these two models. Would you say a6400 with Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens is a better buy than a6700 with 16-50mm lens? Or do you have other lens to recommend that would significantly improve the performance of a6400 over a6700? I'm interested in both photography and videography as I shoot some travel/road trip vlogs. Thanks a lot!
Where are those camera caps from? 🔥
Kondor blue
I have been wanting to upgrade from my action cameras(gopro and osmo action.
I do like the compactness of the action cameras xD.
Do you recommend the 6700 or the fx30?
Depends on your needs. I like the fx30 for paid work with dual sd cards and ergonomics. A6700 i like for casual every day stuff and also the mechanical shutter.
dude, there are many errors in your video,,, many times you are saying a6700 and the video is showing a6400 ,,, and then a67400,,, and the information about IBIS, you showing a6700 footage and talking about a6400... so confusing and not trust worthy take.
Thanks for the feedback. Will improve on this for future reviews
Question is if A6700 has as fast AF as A6400.
I hardly notice a difference, if anything, the Eye-AF is more reliable on the A6700 with the AI.
@@MikeBSalazar Eye - AF doesn`t interes me at all. But maybe I should have asked about AF lag when in AF-C mode.
I didn't notice a drastic difference between the two when it came to AF.@@Aleksdraven
How to charge
I prefer to buy a dual charger for more batteries otherwise through the USB port on the side.
Great video. I have been using a 6400 for a while. I am really wanting to upgrade to the 6700!
If you are a video person, its a worthy upgrade for sure.
I see you got the micro clutch on the a6700! Is yours the L plate or I plate?
This was the L plate
fire video man!
Appreciate it! Thank you!
7:23 you said you don't recommend either of these cameras for podcasts. I'm primarily looking for a good camera which has no video recording limit (because podcast!) and prefer a budget option. Which ones do you recommend?
Panasonic g85 if your on a budbet
@@heyyall1790 we have G80 in the UK but recording stops every 30mins and new file every 4GB
These cameras would be fine if you're recording for up to an hour, or if you're doing like a remote podcast and are recording something through like OBS. But if you're long winded it's almost cheaper to just buy a camcorder.
So helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for stoppin by!
Why is there a lot of contrast difference while shooting the face?
I was shocked myself when I left it on auto. I might have set the metering mode to +1.
@@MikeBSalazar Both cameras are set to auto?
Wow it tracks the eye when model turned around! Can I track the eye behind a closed door too? Hahaha, great video 🙌🏽
Hahaha now that would be scary. Maybe for smaller props haha
No flash on the 6700?
No, sir
they are saving costs and space.. you need an external flash that's much bigger and expensive
