Sony A6700 Portrait Kit

When I travel, I prefer to take a light system camera with me to film and photograph. That's why the Sony A6700 is an ideal travel companion for me. This system camera has a compact design. I wear it around my neck in combination with my Sony 35mm lens all day, without it feeling heavy. The photos I take with this camera are pin-sharp, as I'm used to from Sony cameras. Also in the field of video I am very satisfied with the image quality. I capture a special vacation with both photos and videos. The large color range conveys the atmosphere of my destination well. I do regret that the camera doesn't have a double memory card slot, so I don't make backups of my images.

Fast autofocus I like to take street and portrait photos. I find it important that the camera focuses quickly and accurately, because my subject sometimes moves quickly. Fortunately, the A6700's subject recognition helps me with this. A focus frame immediately appears around both people and animals. I like that I can easily focus on a subject that passes quickly, such as a cyclist.

User-friendly operation I think a big advantage of the A6700 is the new dial on the front. When I take a picture through the viewfinder, I simply adjust the aperture with this button. Thanks to the electronic viewfinder, I can immediately see whether the exposure is as desired. This makes shooting a lot easier. I do regret that the viewfinder is on the left side of the body. When shooting from the touchscreen, my hand sometimes accidentally covers the viewfinder. This automatically turns the screen black. I would have liked it better if the viewfinder was in the middle.

High quality vlogs Thanks to the fully tiltable screen, I also use the camera for vlogs. I easily film myself this way. The footage I record looks detailed because the camera oversamples 6K videos. This uses extra pixels to create a sharp 4K image. I take my vlogs to a higher, almost professional level. When I film myself talking, I find the camera on the heavy side. I easily solve this with a loose grip or gimbal, so I can hold it a little lower. This way I can easily make a longer vlog.

Short term use but very happy with it so far

Recently got the Sony A6700, very satisfied with the quality of the body, many features and the splashproof is a lifesaver for outdoor use.

Can fit 1x SD, shoots fast action photos in burst up to 11 photos per second (!). Battery lasts me an average of 2 days with just photography, I have the jupio charger with it to charge 2 batteries at the same time. An extra battery is therefore still recommended.

There are enough focus options with Sony, the tracking works smoothly and is clear as a user. Set the camera to AF-C and choose your focus zone and then you can leave this for many situations.

In somewhat colder weather everything works properly, but the screen is difficult to open with (and in cold weather also without) gloves, once open it is easy to operate again.

Many options in the menu to set everything the way you want.

Very satisfied with the a6700 and expect to be able to use it for many years to come.
