In the world of digital imaging, Sony has continually pushed the boundaries of innovation and performance. The Sony a6700 Mirrorless Camera, available at B&H Photo, is a testament to Sony’s commitment to delivering powerful, versatile, and user-friendly tools for content creators. This compact and feature-packed camera is designed to meet the demands of multi-hyphenate creatives, from photographers to filmmakers. Let’s dive into the remarkable features that make the Sony a6700 a game-changer in the world of mirrorless cameras.

26.0MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ XR Processor

At the heart of the Sony a6700 lies a potent combination: a 26.0MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor and the cutting-edge BIONZ XR processor. This duo, originally featured in the FX30 Digital Cinema Camera, empowers the a6700 with remarkable imaging capabilities. It excels in both still photography and video recording.

The back-illuminated sensor design enhances resolution without compromising sensitivity. With an ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to ISO50-102400 for stills), the camera delivers impressive low-light performance, capturing images with minimal noise and a dynamic range of over 14 stops.

Cinematic Video in UHD 4K

Sony understands that content creators today need versatile tools that can handle video production as effectively as still photography. The Sony a6700 brings professional-grade video features from the Cinema Line series to the fingertips of everyday creators and aspiring filmmakers.

• Full pixel readout from the 6K sensor results in high-quality UHD 4K video, providing approximately 2.4x the data required for 4K video. This minimizes moiré and aliasing.
• UHD 4K recording is supported at frame rates up to 120p, with full HD recording reaching up to 240p, utilizing full 1:1 pixel readout without binning.
• The camera allows recording in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats, ensuring consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.
• With the ability to record for over two hours in 4K 30p or more than 40 minutes at 4K 60p on a 128GB card, you won’t be limited by storage constraints.

AI-Powered Autofocus and Image Stabilization

One of the standout features of the Sony a6700 is its AI Processing Unit, which enhances autofocus and image stabilization capabilities. The camera boasts 759 phase detection points in stills mode and 495 points in video mode, covering a remarkable 93% of the image area. Thanks to AI-powered subject recognition and real-time tracking, your subjects stay sharp, even in challenging conditions.

Other autofocus features include focus bracketing (up to 299 images), exceptional focus accuracy in low light (down to EV -3.0), focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking during autofocus.

Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing

For vloggers and videographers, the AI Processing Unit’s capabilities shine through. It recognizes and tracks subjects during video recording, intelligently cropping to keep the subject in the frame. Adjust the tracking location, speed, and sensitivity effortlessly. Say goodbye to the hassle of maintaining the perfect framing while you’re on the move.

Image Stabilization

The Sony a6700 features a pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilization system that compensates for five types of camera shake during handheld shooting. This system is meticulously optimized for precision control down to a single pixel. With AI enhancements, communication between the camera body and lens is improved, ensuring stable framing before each shot. Whether you’re using native or adapted lenses, you can rely on the camera to deliver blur-free images and steady video footage.
