Sony has finally launched a new single APS-C camera after four years. The company today announced the latest A6700 APS-C mirrorless camera with a 26MP sensor and AI-powered autofocus, which is the same as the more expensive A7R V camera. The new shooter comes with 4K 120p video, active mode stabilization, and AI auto-framing, making it ideal for vlogging.

On the outside, the A6700 looks almost similar to the four-year-old Alpha 6600 but it packs many notable upgrades underneath. The camera is not very big, weighing only 493 g with Battery and Recording Media. It has physical dimensions of 4.8 x 2.7 x 2.5″ / 122 x 69 x 63.6 mm.
The A6700 features a 3:2 APS-C 26MP back-illuminated CMOS Exmor R 4K sensor. However, it can only capture still images at a resolution of 26MP. When recording video in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the maximum resolution available is 19.9MP. The Sony camera is capable of recording UHD video (3840×2160) at up to 60p by oversampling a 6K image (5976×3356), ensuring there is no pixel binning or line skipping.
The Sony A6700 boasts an impressive range of Real-Time Recognition autofocus features, similar to those found in the premium A7R V model. This enables the camera to accurately identify and track various subjects, including people, cars, trains, insects, birds, pets, and airplanes. The A6700 is equipped with weather sealing and comes with five-axis in-body image stabilization and an EVF that provides complete coverage.
Further, the camera has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port that enables high-speed transfers and USB power delivery. It also features a micro HDMI port, as well as dedicated headphone and microphone ports. Talking about the battery life, the A6700 can shoot 570 shots.
Sony A6700 comes with a price tag of $1,399. The exact availability date for the camera is not known yet but Sony says it would arrive later in 2023.
