Sony Alpha 6700 review

Sony Alpha 6700 is the APS-C pick for creators who want in-body stabilization in a small body. It uses a 26.0MP APS-C Exmor R sensor, BIONZ XR processing and a dedicated AI processor that drives Real-time Recognition and Tracking with Eye AF for humans, animals and birds. Sony lists 759 phase-detection points for stills and 495 for video. Video runs 4K up to 60p oversampled from 6K, 4K up to 120p with a crop for slow motion, and 10-bit 4:2:2 with S-Log and HLG. The 5-axis in-body stabilization is rated up to 5.5 stops, which the Nikon Z50II lacks. The NP-FZ100 battery is rated at about 570 shots on the LCD, and the body has mic and headphone jacks. Sony Electronics listed the body at $1,499.99 when we checked. The trade-offs are a single card slot and a cropped 4K 120p mode. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the camera ourselves.
