Report Explains Why Sony A6700 Isn't as Good as Canon and Fujifilm Rivals: Not a Serious APS-C Mirrorless Camera?
The Sony A6700 reportedly makes sense when it comes to paper but a report explains why its rivals, Canon and Fujifilm, are better. The report also begs the question as to whether Sony would ever be able to create a serious APS-C mirrorless camera.
Sony APS-C Mirrorless Cameras Come with Advanced Features to Give Incredible Tracking Autofocus
According to the story by Tech Radar, the APS-C mirrorless cameras by Sony should be considered at the top of their class. This comes as it includes important photography features with cameras like the Sony A6700 utilizing the 759-point AF array and AI chipset for advanced features.
These features include next-level subject-detection as well as its tracking autofocus, which makes focusing so effective that the report notes it was close to "cheating." It then tackles whether this makes it the best mirrorless camera in 2023 when it comes to enthusiast photographers and explains why it is not.
The Report Argues that the Reason for the Sony A6700 Not Being the Best is Because of Its Design
The article focuses on its design being the reason why it isn't the best camera, pointing out that most photographers want tech at the level of the Sony A6700 for cameras that are easier to hold. These types of cameras reportedly come with up to 11fps on their 26MP stills.
It was also described that although the A6700 isn't as bad when it comes to being held, it still has some rugged feel to it. The report explained how the body design of the camera feels like it's only entry-level.
The Sony A6700 Sells for $1,400 and has What was Described as the 'Best-in-Class Autofocus'
The camera is reportedly selling for $1,400, which The Verge dubs as having the "best-in-class autofocus." The article also tackled the advanced features of the camera and what makes it unique as a "more affordable camera."
It was noted by Tech Radar that the main request of fans is actually having a physically larger APS-C camera that comes with different features. These features include kinder ergonomics, better customization, and better lens compatibility balances like long telephotos and beyond.
The Report Argues What the Sony A6700 Camera Should Look Like
The report notes that what would be ideal would be the camera having a similar form factor just like the Sony A7 IV. It then explained rivaling cameras, saying that the best APS-C mirrorless cameras of Sony this year are natural rivals to the Canon EOS R7 and the Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-S20.
It was also highlighted that the Canon and Fujifilm models are great for enthusiasts with the EOS R7 and X-T5 being larger than the A6700 and having more free room, with a center bump for the camera instead of everything squeezed at the top-left part.
Both cameras also include twin card slots along with AF joysticks to enable quick AF area selections. Basically, Tech Radar notes that these devices feel more like what they describe as "proper photographer's tools."
