The Sony α6700 (model ILCE-6700) is a mirrorless APS-C format digital camera, released in July 2023 as a successor to the α6600. It features a 26MP Exmor sensor, upgraded 759 point phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and the ability to shoot 4Kvideo at up to 120frames per second. Powered by the BIONZ XR image processor, it offers an ISO range of 50 to 102400 and can capture images at 11frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking and 14-bit lossless compressed Raw.Limitations on recording 14 bit images in RAW format

Features The camera retains several advancements from its predecessor, the Sony α6600, and also incorporates some features from the higherend fullframe Sony α7IV. These include:

26 MP (approximately effective) APS-C Exmor-R CMOS sensor 759 phase detection AF points for still images, and 495 AF points for video real-time continuous eyeAF tracking for humans, animals, and birds flip 3inch LCD vari-angle touchscreen with 1.03 million dots 2.3-million dot resolution EVF 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization with 5.5stops of shake reduction 11fps continuous shooting 4K 120p video recording with 6K oversampling battery life with NPFZ100 is rated at approximately 570 images using LCD screen and approximately 550 images using EVF native ISO range is 10032,000 and extended ISO range is 50102,400 10-bit HEIF image format weather-sealed magnesium alloy body multi Interface (MI) hot shoe

Video formats The camera uses the in-house developed AVC Video Format called XAVC. The format is a compressed format achieving balanced quality and file size. Recording in colour depth of 10-bits and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling is possible with the XAVC codec. The camera features:

all intraframe system that compresses each frame individually to achieve the best quality when recording 4K movies in the XAVC HSformat, optional use of an HEVC codec (H.265) which has higher compression efficiency the camera can record movies with higher image quality than XAVCS movies but with a similar data volume the camera can record in "Long GOP" codec (H.264) compression which compresses multiple frames to reduce file size

Lens compatibility

Sony E-mount APS-C lenses are compatible with the α6700. The camera will also accept fullframe Emount lens without issue.
