The Sony Alpha A6700 is the successor to the popular A6600 model
Compared to it, it brings a number of improvements, for example in the field of artificial intelligence
The price was set at CZK 41,890
The Japanese company Sony has its fingers in many industries, however, it has been doing well in the camera segment for a long time. After all, it was the Tokyo company that was able to catch the wave of mirrorless cameras, or rather compact cameras with interchangeable lenses. It is currently setting trends in this segment, which it also wants to ensure with a new compact camera with an APS-C size sensor called the Sony Alpha A6700. It follows on from the successful predecessor Alpha A6600, but mainly brings new technologies and several useful gadgets.
Fast focusing and artificial intelligence support
One of the main attractions is the new 26 Mpx CMOS Exmor R chip with support for recording 4K video at 120 frames (or through oversampling up to 6K resolution) per second, the accompanying Bionz XR chip for better colors and lower noise or very fast focusing with 334 points for phase detection assisted by artificial intelligence.
It also helps the camera to recognize the scene or keep the focus on a specific subject, whether it is a person or an animal. So you don’t have to worry about fast-moving objects that could potentially affect the resulting sharpness of the image. Five-axis stabilization is also a matter of course.
The flip-out 3″ LCD screen is hinged on the left side, so you can easily flip the panel forwards, which video creators will especially appreciate, as well as up to twice the brightness of its predecessor. Sony also deserves plus points for deploying USB-C 3.2 2nd generation with USB-PD fast charging support. UHS-II SD cards can now be used to store photos and videos. The electronic viewfinder has a resolution of 2,359,300 pixels, while its magnification is 0.7×.
Don’t overlook

Of course, you can shoot in full-size or compressed RAW, as well as in standard JPEG and HEIF, and you should not be limited by the buffer, which can handle 1,000 JPEGs, 59 compressed RAWs or 23 full-size RAWs when shooting at a speed of 11 frames per second. However, those interested in the Sony Alpha A6700 will probably appreciate the compact dimensions, which follow on from its predecessor, or the use of a larger NP-FZ100 battery, which will ensure sufficient endurance. They set the price in the land of the rising sun at 41,890 CZK without set lens. At the same time, some e-shops also got a discount on the predecessor Alpha A6600, which is priced CZK 31,990 a very interesting choice.
