Sony’s artificial intelligence tools have now trickled down into the more consumer-oriented camera line.
The a6000 camera line from Sony has been a nice budget addition to its more expensive full-frame offerings. Sony shooters that I know often have an a6000 series on hand to capture moments where the bigger sensors might be overkill.
Now after four years, an update to the APS-C series has been released.
The Sony a6700 pumps out impressive video and photo specs while elevating autofocus and subject tracking thanks to a dedicated AI processor. So, should Sony shooters be rushing to upgrade? Let’s dig a bit deeper.
AI in Super 35
At the heart of the Sony a6700 is a 26.0MP1 APS-C Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Paired with a BIONZ XR chip, the little camera outputs video in 4K/60p oversampled from 6K in 4:2:2 10-bit. Additionally, high frame rate recording is available in up to 4K/120p.
This feature makes it a powerhouse on its own. Add in S-Log3, and creatives get a claimed 14+ stops of latitude, offering increased dynamic range and the highly sought-after S-Cinetone.
