## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted hands-on reviewers (Engadget, TechRadar) call the A6700 Sony's best APS-C camera yet, praising class-leading Real-time Recognition AI autofocus, strong 4K video with 10-bit log capture, and improved handling. Both flag that in-body stabilization can't fully smooth handheld walking video and that there's only a single card slot. Engadget adds that bursts lag the Canon R7 and Fujifilm X-T5 and that 4K 120p overheats after 20-30 minutes, while TechRadar flags overcast-day metering underexposure and a lingering menu learning curve. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2023-07-12–2024-03-07.)

Praised: Class-leading Real-time Recognition AI autofocus that tracks people, animals and vehicles; Strong 4K video, oversampled from 6K with 10-bit log capture; Improved handling: deeper grip plus a new front control dial; Well-controlled low-light noise for an APS-C sensor.
Flagged: In-body stabilization doesn't fully smooth handheld walking video; Only a single UHS-II card slot; Burst speed lags the Canon R7 and Fujifilm X-T5 for action shooting; Overheats at 4K 120p, cutting out after about 20-30 minutes; Metering tends to underexpose on overcast days; Menu system still has a steep learning curve.
Disagreement: The two split on video versus rivals: Engadget concludes that as a video camera 'it beats its main rivals across the board,' while TechRadar suggests 'If video is your focus, you'll likely get better results from something like the Fujifilm X-S20.'
