Sony a6700 26MP Compact Mirrorless Camera Body Only

Compact mirrorless body for multi-hyphenate creators

The Sony a6700 pairs a 26.0MP Exmor R APS-C BSI CMOS sensor with the BIONZ XR processor to deliver high-resolution stills and oversampled UHD 4K video in a body that weighs less than its predecessor. It targets photographers and videographers who need one camera for both disciplines without carrying cinema-sized gear. Real-time tracking AF and 5-axis pixel-level stabilisation keep subjects sharp while moving.

Build quality and connectors for daily workflow

The magnesium-alloy chassis feels solid yet light, and the deep grip lets you hold the camera steady during 11 fps bursts or long handheld takes. A full-size HDMI port outputs 10-bit 4:2:2 footage directly to an external recorder, while the USB-C connection supports fast tethering and in-camera charging. Dual dials and a customisable front dial put exposure changes under your fingers without menu diving.

Upgrade path and when the jump pays off

Moving from a 24MP APS-C body without 10-bit video or AI subject recognition, the a6700 adds 120p 4K, S-Log3, S-Cinetone and 759-point phase-detection AF covering 93% of the frame. The sensor reads out fast enough for 59 compressed raw frames in a burst, so sports and wildlife shooters see fewer blackout gaps. If you only need 8-bit 4K 30p and basic tracking, the step up brings less visible benefit.
