Cool meeting you brutha!

I love your format of videos!! So great you title every comparison and side by side everything not just flashing then disappearing points on the screen. Thank you so much

I was literally searching for this video yesterday and once again, Mark comes in clutch.

Thanks for the video Mark! You definitely confirmed why I DON'T have buyer's remorse for purchasing my a6700. Also, It was great meeting you and sitting next to you on the bus ride to the airport after the trip! Great conversation!

This is what I’ve been looking for the last week!

Glad to see this video! One thing though-Since a few of the A7Cii features are limited to APSC/Super35 mode, I'd love to see an addition to the low light test on the full frame but with the crop mode enabled (and presumably then the same APSC lens). Or even just a comment on what to expect in high iso when we swap into that mode.

The A6700 fits my needs perfectly. I have a complement of APS-C and Full Frame lenses, but when I do decide to get a full-frame camera, the A7C II is the one I will add to my bag. But for the time being, the A6700 does everything I need. Even for the odd professional work. Great video!

Can't wait for the A7CII vs ZVE1 next! Thanks for all the awesomeness!

This man makes the most informative comparison videos on the platform! Really underrated!

This is exactly the review we were looking for! Big thanks! I'm with the A6700 with the difference invested in the G lens :) due to the fact that it will be my first camera in more than 10 years.

This is the one we've been we've waiting for!!!

Nice work Mark, glad you got to attend the Sony event and meet all those other crazy Creators! Cheers from the West Coast.

Thank you for making this video. Very insightful.

thank you for comparing these 2 beast! been waiting for this comparison video and got my new a6700 a week ago and i love it!

hi and thx for sharing all those impressions and comparisons . great video! 👍

Great review, one of the best. I was skeptical but this little aps-c is so powerful for us non-professionals. Keep it up. Very detailed and informative. And fun.

I’m stuck between these two and the ZVE1. Excited to see the next comparison 🙏🤓

Thank you very much for this one. I’ve been looking at each of them for a bit, and I’ve already got an A7C and an A6600. But, WOW! I’ve decided that when I can, it’s the A7Cii for sure.

Just LOVE your content 😎

Boss coming really comprising details & explain.

Great video. I went with the a6700 put good sony G & GM glass on it and it works perfect. I use it for stills and video and will be vlogging with it in the near future, desktop and walk around, with the 11mm f1.8. IMO, like the a6000, the a6700 will be one of Sony's best selling cameras ever.

I just got the a6700 and I love it! The 4k 60 and 4k 120frames for shooting skateboarding and sports it's amazing! I already had a lot of APS-C lenses so this was a easy pick for me.

Thank you Mark, been waiting for this comparison video!

finely someone makes the A7C II vs A6700 comparison video, tnx mark ^^

The most informative camera guy on KZfaq.❤️🇧🇩

Was trying to focus on what you were saying but distracted by the handsomeness, restarting video now

Thanks for the comparison between the a6700 and the A7Cii. Great video.

Hello Mark! Greetings from Venezuela. Which 24mm f 1.4 lens did you use in this video with the Sony A7CII camera? Could you help me? thank you so much!

I just bought the 200-600 lens for my a7iv and I have my eyes on that a6700 for wildlife. I use my Canon R7 right now but the AF on that misses far more often than I would like. I'm sure the a6700 would be much better for birds. Thanks for another great video my friend!

Appreciate the comparison! I have been going back and forth on these two. I have lenses for both systems, and have been brainwashed to go FF for the most part. But on a recent trip took my FF setup with multiple lenses, and a small APS-C camera as a backup and after a few days went almost exclusively shooting with the APS-C camera because of size and weight. So here, I'm going with the A6700. These two cameras are soo close in soo many ways and the A6700 is the much better value.

Thanks, Mark! I've owned the A6600 for a year and a half now and this is my takeaway if you're getting your first camera: Get the A6700 with the sigma 18-50mm. It'll cover 95% of your needs, all for ~$2000 and it'll easily last you a decade. The quality really is that good. I have the Sigma 16mm and I use it for conference calls mostly, and will be getting the sigma 56mm for the best quality of portrait photos and unique perspectives.

This is the video I’ve been searching all week last week haha. Thinking about upgrading my A6400 and have been eyeing the a6700 but was kinda in the middle in going full frame. I guess I’ll stay APSC for a while haha. Thanks Mark. Hope to see you hitting 100k subs soon! Cheers. (I’m the guy from the gym💪🏽😎)

Love the humour at the end and this series of reviews has persuaded me to get the A7CII as a third studio camera and main outdoor for talking heads

Thank you so much for this review! I've been waiting for this. While A7Cii is just a wonderful camera packed with pretty much everything, I'm going with A6700. If I was a professional photographer, it would be a no-brainer and go with full frame to capture low light performance. Still, because I'm more of a hobbyist and dedicate >90% to photoshooting, I can't justify the high price of the full frame lenses that costs sometimes even more than a new camera body even in the used market... I understand A7Cii body itself is extremely reasonably priced, I'd rather spend those extra $s towards better lenses :) I'll go with A6700 + sigma 18-50mm, SEL35f18, and Sigma56f14.

Hey Mark, thanks for the concise review everyone's waited for (including me) 😅. It was a tough choice for me but finally I went for the 6700. Especially since I already got 2 ZV-E10 cameras (one of your favorites) and various APS-C lenses for my video podcast. Even though I was up to buying the A7C II for months, it feels like the better deal (for me) to stick with APS-C. And honestly, I barely shoot/record/vlog in extreme lowlight. Greets from Cologne, Germany 😎lli

They invited you for great laughs I know I would of anyways, oh and cheers much for the comparisons plus your candid honesty too lol 😂❤

Thanks for the comparison between the a6700 and the A7Cii. Great video. I have an a6500 that is still working and as an amateur family photographer, it has been a great camera for the last 6+ years. I nearly bought the first A7C around Christmas, but decided the changeover would be too much expense to justify for the photography I do. Since I’m already invested in the APSC lenses, if I need to upgrade my a6500 I would select the a6700 and perhaps invest in another lens or two and still be at or under the cost of the a7Cii. Thanks again.

After watching some of your videos, got a brand new ZVe-10 recently for 570 euros here in the Netherlands to start my KZfaq channel. It was on sale so i got quite a good deal I'd say. Compared to my previous Nikon Z5 , this Sony is surprisingly small, lightweight and quite cute. Love it! Thanks for the content!

Great vid thanks! Subbed. Leaning towards the a6700 but if decide on FF then still deciding.

Great Vid

Great job walking through pros and cons with examples. Subscribed. Picture on A7C II looked more natural in most examples but not 50 % better to match 50% increase. Low light is my main concern for a6700...

Thank you Mark for the helpful and informative comparative video! I'm very interested to buy A7C II. By the way, Have you used A7C II with strobes? I have concern if 1/160 sync speed is enough for studio works!!! God bless and good luck!

Another great comparison man, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

I have a6700 and I love it! I’ve shot POV street photography here in the Phillipines (video in my channel), noon time and did not experience overheating.

It's a difficult question to choose between the two. Thanks for your review

Crazy the difference in background blur between APS-C and Full Frame. I haven’t found a use for THAT much blur yet… but I can see myself grabbing something like the A7C or the E1 down the road for that reason (and low light).

Very good video and a good comparison of these two cameras, as always with a grain of humour…👍 I learned as well that you are producing your videos in the city of my favourite NHL team.😊 I have ordered the A6700 and when Sony launched the A7 CII, I was tempted to switch and cancel the order. This video showed that the differences between the two cameras in terms of video and image quality are not dramatic. When you look on Sony’s website two sample images of -I think- the same model, it is impossible for me to notice any difference in image quality even cropping in. Cropping in with the A7C II compared to the A6700 does not offer much advantage (crop to APSC gives approx. 15 MP, reaching 26 MP allows an approx. 1.1 crop), so most likely I will stay with the A6700. Cheers

Great comparison! I have made my decision to go for A6700, it's just perfect for a beginner

Thanks Mark, I was waiting for this comparison! I'm currently on an a6000 with a few lenses and thinking of making an upgrade. I mostly use my camera for travel photography. I love the colors on the A7c ii, they seem a bit more natural. Also low light is awesome. So I'm thinking of making the transition to full-frame. However, the a6700 is great as well, more affordable and keeping it light and compact. This makes the transition to full-frame more like wishful thinking. I guess I can rent both camera's and see which suits best.

Very good video sir😊 i ❤ this.

I'm pretty committed to the Sony APS-C line so would take the A6700 in a heartbeat (I have other FF stuff already). My clients don't care and I like the portableness (word?), cheaper glass, and smaller files. Glad to see you finally getting the industry spotlight you so handsomely deserve.

A6700 is a value proposition killer at this price. As much as I would love to feel fancy going full frame with the A7CII (which I REALLY, REALLY want since the A7IV came out - my favorite Sony camera to date and the A7CII being its cheaper sibling is an amazing choice), the price difference alone is a deal breaker. For what I do in terms of content, I could have incredibly high production value with the A6700 and a few great prime lenses within the price of just the A7CII body. And then it gets more pricey once you need to utilize that sensor with full frame lenses... That is way too difficult to just overlook. A6700 - a clear winner. PS Plus I already own the ZV-E10 with the Sigma 18-50 F2.8 thanks to Mark over here so the A6700 feels like a natural addition to the studio while keeping the APS-C vibe alive.

I went with the a6700. To me it’s the perfect overall camera. I wanted something very compact including the lenses. I already own the a7r3 and a7s3. I wanted a camera for going out and about, having fun and not worrying about a very expensive setup in certain situations. When I want to take my time and put a lot of effort into my work I’ll take the full frame setups. For everyday use it’s the a6700.

thank you Mark

Love your comparisons and all your videos. You are the non technical everyday persons Gerald Undone. Love Gerald too.

Good video! If you had a comparison, what camera of the R series would you compare the 6700 too? I’m new to this and looking for a camera for family sporting as well as professional sporting.

Another great video! Thank you. What's happened to Little Dougie?

Mark I need your advice. I used Black Magic Camera before. But the Sony is wonderful and I want to switch to Sony. But I do not know which one. I have to decide between the A6700 and the AC7II. I usually do live shows that can last 1 hour 30 minutes. I also record short programs. Could you give me your best recommendation? 🙏🏻🤗

I would love a photo comparison in low light for upcoming videos. No one seems to do this on yt

Mark great video as usual! You always give me some things to think about. From my old full-frame days (about 6 months ago!) I still have the excellent Sony 24mm F1.4 GM, which I am keeping. I am thinking about the A6700 and an FX30, or two A6700 cameras. I like the idea of moving to lighter weight and cheaper lenses. I currently would consider myself a hybrid shooter, a bit more photo, but am thinking about getting more into video (spending some more time this fall and winter learning how to use my gear in that direction). I have the Sony A7Cii on order (my older full frame was the A7C), on the wait list for the Sony A6700 and could get the Sony FX30 right now. I was thinking about one of each, then the Sony 11mm F1.8 (or the 15mm F1.4), the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8, and maybe the Sigma 56mm f1.4 which would give me some good flexibility for both photo and video. Thoughts?

Great comparison review as always Mark! Now if only the a6700 was in stock (without the 18 - 135 lens).

Thanks for the really helpful presentation, it really answered most of my questions! (no, I'm not affiliated with the channel!) Here are a couple of more questions I have though: When using both cameras above ISO 5.000 and going up to 10.000 (roughly) is the 6700 still much worse? And the second question: Does S-Cinetone on both cameras give the same result on correcting highlights in post, compared to using an HLG profile? I don't use S-Log, I prefer HLG2 in the day and Cine-4 at night, with details down to -100 for night shooting. I own both the 6300 and 6400 and I am also trying to decide. Yes, I do mind giving the extra dollars but I would if I decide to. I mostly use the cameras primarily for stock videos and photos and then YT travel videos, not often for commissioned works. I hate the bad rolling shutter my cameras have and want to upgrade, plus it seems these cameras will give a much better handheld still video if I am not panning, so I will not have to use my gimbals! When travelling with equipment, including a gimbal, I might walk up to 24 km a day so if I go for a full frame I will have to buy a new heavier lens and use my big Ronin gimbal, instead of using my lighter Zhyiun Crane. I use stabilised lenses, the 18-135 Sony zoom and the 35mm Sony f 1.8 prime. I wanted to buy the 16mm Sigma 1.4 but it has no stabilisation so, here's my 3rd question: If I am to use the Sigma at night, with the f1.4 (a bit closed to a slower f) could I get away with using no more than ISO 1250 so would this beat the point of using the A7CII? All these thoughts are running like thin air in my mind and I can't decide!

13:53 Very informative video! I am leaning more towards an A7CR which comes with the extension. In crop mode you would still have enough megapixels for wildlife.

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I think the easiest solution to this dilemma is that I'm just going to have to buy ALL the cameras...🤷‍♂

10s in and I had to check if you were from Newfoundland. Love it. :)

I left full frame photography after my kids got older and didn't cooperate with having their pictures taken any longer. I got rid of the Nikon D700 w/ 50/1.4, and started using the original Sony RX100 and, later, the iPhone 5. Now, in retirement, and traveling more, I've regained interest in photography and opted for the 6700 w/ 16-55 G and 70-350 G and a nice backpack to carry it all with. The iPhone 15 pro max will be my video camera.

I currently have a Sony DSLR that I mostly used for the kid's hockey. Was thinking of switching to mirrorless. The speed and lighting constraints of hockey is a hard situation for photography. Do you think the A6700 could work well in that situation? Would I lose autofocus functionality by using my current Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lens on it. I heard it takes Sony DSLR lenses like that with an adapter. Would a setup like that affect the autofocus (would I need to go manual because of that)? Or would I be forced to also get a new lens for hockey?

Thanks for the excellent review as always. I own the a7iv and recently purchased the a6700 for vlogging and for use as a podcast camera. I haven’t tried using it yet for recording past an hour but have concerns with it potentially overheating, while interviewing guest in my studio. Since I already have an a7iv would it make sense to exchange the a6700 for an fx30? I want a secondary camera to accompany my a7iv to have another angle. I must say I really like the a6700’s versatility and new features but I am torn on whether it will also serve my podcast needs. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

for sure, same audience will see all reviewer. for me, you are still the best for comparison product. text lists comparison on your video help a lot and other reviewer not do this.. keep up the good work and thank you..

Thank you very much for the detailed comparison between these models. I probably will go with the a6700 but it’d be a much more difficult choice if the a7c II had 4K120 and better rolling shutter handling without crop

Thank you Mark for the great video. If I mainly do video (mostly 4k60), little bit of photo and owned some full frame /APSC lenses, which camera should I go for and can last for few years? Thanks in advance.

I'm an aps-c guy in my heart, but on a random note, while I knew you were a Canadian, I always thought you were out west. Never realized you were in Toronto. Like I said, very random... ❤ thanks for the vid

Been waiting for this comparison. Either camera is a big jump up from any of the Sony apsc line. I'm leaning a6700 as an upgrade from my a6400. Don't see the extra 1k+ CAD being worth it for the a7c ii fir my purposes. P.S.: Congrats on becoming one of the cool kids.

thanks!!

6700 def has the value for money but the ZVE10 is still great (only had mine a few months). Waiting for the Fuji X100V successor (I've joined the hype). Until then I think I'll have to get the A7C||. Great vids dude!

Sorry I missed you at Kando!

Thank you for the video. You promised and delivered. A difference you left out that bothers many on the forums is that the A7CII lacks a full two curtain mechanical shutter of the A6700 that allows the Electronic First Curtain Shutter to be disable to in some cases give you better Bokah with wide apertures and fast shutter speeds. Also the slower 1/160 for flash synchronization is another again impacting the usage with strobes. I haven’t decided if that will impact me but I do already have the A6700. Currently own the A7RV an A7IV so ultimately I can work around those but portability then goes away. Also still struggling to decide between A7C II or A7CR but really didn’t want to spend the extra money on the CR. Will see. Thank you again.

Thanks for this review Mr. Mark I am still struggling with the choice. I already have the Sony a 7 IV which is the same sensor as the A7CII and all only a bit bigger. I am new to this stuff only a couple months in but I do feel like a smaller camera would make it easier for some shoots and traveling. So I wanted to ask when it comes to video as a priority and taking pictures as a secondary which would you recommend mainly for traveling and doing some KZfaq/travel vlogs and of course taking the normal holiday pictures

These recent videos are all well and good, Mark, but where is your “Sony A7CII vs. Sony A7CII” comparison?

I've been looking to replace my a6300 for a while. I'm quite torn between these two cameras. I would love to get the A7CR or A7RV but have to draw the line somewhere $$$ (I have a lot of APSC glass). I'd like to start dabbling with full frame, but would cropping to 14 MP be too much of a sacrifice? I would love to see some side by sides of how the images look. Been thinking of rather getting the a6700, adding a Sony 200-600 and upgrading to a full frame body later (not all in one go). Thoughts? I really want the new AI autofocus. Looking at new bodies my top line item is autofocus. Second is low light performance. Thought about an A7RIV (used) but I want the autofocus.

Been waiting for this comparison and i think i will get a6700. thanks.

Hey Mark, Can I stream via usb c connection to my pc. Or do I have to get cam link 4k? For a7c II.

Hello, good video, I am a beginner in food and product photography, I take photos and short videos, but I am already taking photos and videos of 1:30 hours. My concern is overheating, would it still be advisable to buy it? Setting 4k:60, Slog3, 10-bit 4:2.2 short videos 4k:120, Slog3, 10 bit 4:2.2

Hi Mark... Thanks for the comparison. When using the 7Cii in APC mode. How many megapixels will i loose? I currently have the ZVE10 and APC Lens. But wondering if its worth going Full Frame and invest in FF Lens in the future. Thanks

what microphone are you using in this video ? you sound amazing !

I want them both, i'm really a fan of the more smaller and portable concept!🥰

The a6700 with a sigma 56mm, a 16mm Sony prime, and the 18-135 kit lens is what i went with. For just starting a photography business everyone has been happy with what ive taken so far. I want to eventually get a full frame probably the A7Cr. Any recommendations on other APSC lenses to get? Sigma 18-50?

Do you think there will be a big difference between the 2 if I use them for Bird photography and landscape?

I going to Toronto next month. I’m thinking about A7C II while there if it will be available then. Where would you recommend buying it?

I honestly will go with the a6700 as my first real camera, and to start doing professional work with it. Honestly it doesn't matter as much if you get full frame or not, or the most expensive camera or not, if you know what to do, you will get great results regardless

1. This is what I've been deciding between! A7C II (crop mode w/ APSC lenses) or the a6700. I may buy one FF lens, but want to stay compact and I have a lot of APSC lenses already 2. How much Sony swag did you pick up?

Tough call, I want to switch from my A7III to the A7cii, but I have the A6500 and the size of the APSC lenses is hard to beat. Oh well, I have pushed the decision back to when I can hold both cameras in my hand at a shop

Just sold my fuji XT3 after 3 years, and ordered the sony a7c2 and 24 70 gm 2 Really excited after watching your video, I love the way how you simplify the things so easy. I think this will be my one stop channel to learn the new sony system Good one mate, and thankyou🙏🏼❤️

Thanks for the video! I'd love to know how high iso images compare between the a6700 and the a7CII in crop mode. I have full frame lenses so leaning to the FF camera, but would like to be able to use an APS-C lens in crop mode for travel! Cheers.

I already own both A7R5 and A6700. A7CII and A7CR don't cross my mind at all because they just cut a lot of good features from the bigger camera e.g. EVF, hi-res flip-tilt screen of A7R5, 2 memory slots, CF Express, etc. If it is a macro day when I need lots of megapixels, I will bring A7R5. For any typical days, I prefer A6700 that is easier to carry with smaller lenses. Better than A7C series, IMO.

I watched this video and saw how great the a6700 is. It really packs a punch for its size and price so i just recently bought the a7c2

Hey Mark, any chance for dedicated video that will compare A7CR and A7RV?

Which lenses you have used to compare in low light conditions?

Plz review camera with live video test between Sony a6700, Fujifilm xs20
