Sony a6700 Will Have Almost the Same Body as the a7C

Posted on by

It seems that the upcoming Sony a6700 high end APS-C format mirrorless camera will have almost the same body as the a7C, and it will be basically a Sony a7C with an APS-C sensor. The official announcement will come in late May 2021, and it will replace the Sony a6600.

  • Basically, an a7c with an aps-c sensor.
  • same EVF, LCD resolution
  • same tilt screen
  • same new menus
  • only minor tweaks to a7c body
  • BUT improved IBIS using smaller APS-C sensor
  • New sensor
  • higher resolution over current APS-C line
  • same FPS as a6600 but now pushing larger files
  • improved low-light performance
  • reduced rolling shutter
  • video specs may be close to a7c
  • price similar to a7c

Sony a6700 Rumored Specifications:

  • Name: Sony a6700
  • a6600 replacement
  • Announcement in late May
  • Will be branded as “Vlogger” camera
  • Same general body form factor but wit many smaller improvements they took from the ZV-1 and a7c
  • 32MP sensor
  • 4k 60p 10 bit video
  • Fully articulated screen
  • Readout at 12bit is 17ms.
  • Form factor is identical to a7c

Sony’s new high-end APS-C camera is likely to be a high-performance camera that uses the new APS-C sensor in the same body as the a7C. The details of the sensor are unknown, but I would like to expect APS-C to adopt backside illumination.

In addition, IBIS (camera shake correction) is said to be disadvantageous in terms of correction effect for small diameter mounts, but APS-C has no restrictions on mount diameter, so it seems that a big improvement can be expected. Since the price is close to a7C, it seems to be the most expensive model in Sony’s APS-C.
