Sony Alpha 6700 Wildlife Bundle mit Objektiv E PZ 16-50mm 3.5-5.6 OSS und E 70-350mm 4.5-6.3 G OSS

Digitalkameras im Test: Richtig gute Bilder machen – mit System!

Despite being Sony’s first new APS-C flagship in four years, the Sony A6700 doesn’t make any grand attempts to break the mould. However, a dearth of dramatic design or feature changes doesn’t detract from the fact that this is a very strong hybrid mirrorless camera with first-class autofocus implementation, a wide array of video options and a high-quality sensor that performs well in most situations.

Highly Recommended - Great results, great handling and a pleasure to use.

The A6700 becomes Sony’s most capable hybrid APSC camera to date, confidently capturing high quality photos and videos in a wide variety of situations. For stills shooters, the highlight is Sony’s best autofocus system, tracking people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes. Couple it with the E 70-350 zoom and you have a formidable combination for wildlife, sports and action that remains very compact and lightweight. Meanwhile macro shooters will appreciate focus bracketing, long exposure fans will enjoy the Bulb timer, while everyone benefits from the improved stabilisation and triple control dials. But despite employing Sony’s latest AF system and best APSC sensor to date, the actual photo quality and burst speeds were similar to its predecessor in my tests, and the body features remain more mid-range than high-end. For videographers, the 1080 detail, 4k rolling shutter, and stabilisation all enjoy improvements over Sony’s previous generation, while the autofocus system now recognises and tracks more subjects than ever. 4k 120 is unsurprisingly the highlight, despite incurring a hefty crop of about 1.5x on top of the APSC crop to start with, making the active sensor area smaller than Micro Four Thirds. Plus without active cooling, the 6700 overheated in my tests after around half an hour of 4k at 50 or 60p, and there’s also no 6k, Open Gate nor RAW video. That said, in 4k up to 30p, I managed just over two hours on a single charge without overheating. As always, there’s pros and cons to weigh-up, but the A6700 gives you the core video quality of the FX30 in a more affordable body aimed at those who want to shoot photos as well as video. Compare closely with Fujifilm’s X-S20, Canon’s R10 and R7, Panasonic’s GH6 and the FX30, and don’t forget to factor in the price and availability of lenses you need. But if you end up choosing the A6700 you’ll have a confident and compact hybrid camera that excels at what most people demand from it.

The Sony a6700 is a well-rounded, camera that's as well-suited for portraiture and landscape photography as it is for travel vlogging and filmmaking. Image quality, video capability, and autofocus are all top-notch, better than or on par with the best. The ergonomics and menus are well thought-out and there's no shortage of lenses to choose from. Whether starting out, moving to mirrorless, or upgrading, the a6700 is a solid choice.
