  1. 0:00hey there in this video I'm going to go
  2. 0:01over the Sony a6700 and how it Compares
  3. 0:04with the Canon R7 mostly for shooting
  4. 0:06video now the newly released a6700 which
  5. 0:09is what I'm shooting on right now is a
  6. 0:11very interesting release from Sony and
  7. 0:12it's important for a lot of people
  8. 0:13because it's Sony's highest end hybrid
  9. 0:15aps-c camera and it Compares really well
  10. 0:18with the Canon R7 which again is Canon's
  11. 0:21highest level aps-c hybrid camera and I
  12. 0:24think a lot of people are trying to
  13. 0:25decide between these two cameras so I
  14. 0:26wanted to make this comparison now it is
  15. 0:28rather toasty out here I'm in North
  16. 0:30Carolina so I'm gonna head inside
  17. 0:32because I think it'll be better for both
  18. 0:33me and the camera that's right
  19. 0:35overheating is definitely part of this
  20. 0:36discussion so we'll get on to that later
  21. 0:38on in this video all right so I'm back
  22. 0:40inside and it is much cooler in here
  23. 0:42before we get into this I just have to
  24. 0:44have a huge thank you to B H Photo who
  25. 0:46lent me the a6700 to make this video and
  26. 0:49a couple other videos I couldn't do this
  27. 0:51without their support and like usual I
  28. 0:53like to recommend that you shop at bmh
  29. 0:54photo because I personally buy most of
  30. 0:55my stuff from there there's links down
  31. 0:57in the description for the a6700 the R7
  32. 0:59and everything I use on a regular basis
  33. 1:01so big thank you to B H Photo now I also
  34. 1:03want to mention that I don't physically
  35. 1:04have a Canon R7 at the moment which is
  36. 1:07actually okay because I've only R7 for a
  37. 1:10long period of time and I've done
  38. 1:11extensive tests and reviews about the
  39. 1:13camera and I probably made more videos
  40. 1:14about shooting video on the R7 than
  41. 1:17probably anyone else on YouTube so I
  42. 1:19have a lot of experience with the camera
  43. 1:21and also when I have the R7 I was able
  44. 1:23to do technical comparisons with the
  45. 1:25fx30 and I'm going to show you a lot of
  46. 1:27those in this video because they're also
  47. 1:29applicable the fx30 and the a6700 have
  48. 1:32the exact same sensor and from
  49. 1:34everything I see and they produce
  50. 1:35identical images so I'll probably use
  51. 1:37the A600 6700 and fx30 interchangeably
  52. 1:40in a bunch of situations but I have
  53. 1:42these comparisons so we can talk about
  54. 1:44some of the technical differences
  55. 1:45between the R7 and the a6700 in terms of
  56. 1:49image quality these cameras are very
  57. 1:51very similar to each other because they
  58. 1:52both shoot an oversampled 4K up to 30
  59. 1:55frames per second so in these images
  60. 1:57that you're seeing the Canon R7 was shot
  61. 1:59in C1 log 3 4K fine ipb and the fx30 was
  62. 2:03shot in s-log 3 4K xavcsi both cameras
  63. 2:06at the base ISO of 800. I use the Sigma
  64. 2:0818 to 35 on both cameras now the reason
  65. 2:11why these cameras look very similar of
  66. 2:14course has to do with the oversample 4K
  67. 2:15the R7 has a 7K or a 7K in the a6700 has
  68. 2:20a 6K oversampled 4K now getting into
  69. 2:23pixel peeping a little bit with test
  70. 2:24charts to get a closer look at what's
  71. 2:26going on here because overall I don't
  72. 2:28see too much of a difference just
  73. 2:29looking at images so in 4k24 I would say
  74. 2:33that the image quality and the sharpness
  75. 2:35and the noise actually looks very
  76. 2:37similar between these two cameras and
  77. 2:39that's as I said before this the
  78. 2:41oversampled 4K image is going to be
  79. 2:43pretty similar between these two cameras
  80. 2:44now onto higher frame rates and that's
  81. 2:46we're going to see more of a difference
  82. 2:47between the Canon and the Sony's so on
  83. 2:49the R7 in 4k 60 there's two different
  84. 2:52ways of shooting it you can shoot a
  85. 2:53non-cropped 4K 60 which is line skipped
  86. 2:56so you're not going to get the same
  87. 2:57image quality or you can shoot a cropped
  88. 2:594K 60. so when you start talking about
  89. 3:02comparing that with the Sony's the
  90. 3:03Sony's are going to look better because
  91. 3:05they have an over sampled from 6K 4K 60.
  92. 3:08so take a look first at the non-crop 4K
  93. 3:1160 on the R7 I'd say full size they look
  94. 3:14pretty similar overall but when you zoom
  95. 3:16in the RS 7 is slightly less sharp but
  96. 3:19it's closer than I thought but
  97. 3:20definitely the R7 has more noise now
  98. 3:22when you're getting onto the 4k60 crop
  99. 3:24mode on the R7 this is a 1.81 times crop
  100. 3:27the R7 is slightly sharper in crop mode
  101. 3:29than non-crop mode but the fx30 is
  102. 3:31definitely sharper and less noisy than
  103. 3:33both the line Skip 4k60 and the 4k60
  104. 3:36crop mode getting onto 120 frames per
  105. 3:39second there's another big difference
  106. 3:40here in the way they handle 120 frames
  107. 3:43per second the fx30 and a6700 can shoot
  108. 3:464K 120 but it has a heavy crop on it and
  109. 3:50if you compare this with the R7 the R7
  110. 3:53does not shoot 4K 120 so to get 120
  111. 3:55frames per second you have to shoot that
  112. 3:57in 180 frames per second so comparing
  113. 3:59the 4K 120 against the 1080p 120 the FX
  114. 4:0234k 120 is slightly sharper and less
  115. 4:05noisy but it's actually closer than I
  116. 4:07thought and this has to do with the fact
  117. 4:09that we're cropping in on an aps-c
  118. 4:11sensor which is going to bring out more
  119. 4:13noise so overall I'll have to give a
  120. 4:16advantage to the slow motion or higher
  121. 4:18frame rate capabilities of the a6700 and
  122. 4:20fx30 in terms of image quality sharpness
  123. 4:23and noise but overheating is a different
  124. 4:25story and as I said we'll get to that
  125. 4:27later next let's talk about dynamic
  126. 4:28range so one of the big differences
  127. 4:30between the R7 and the a6700 is the fact
  128. 4:33that Canon only lets us shoot in c-log 3
  129. 4:36on the R7 and not in C log 2 which is
  130. 4:39their highest dynamic range log profile
  131. 4:41now the a6700 we can shoot an slog3
  132. 4:44which gives us the potential for the
  133. 4:45most amount of dynamic range so the
  134. 4:48first example here I want to show you is
  135. 4:50me in a dark room next to a bright
  136. 4:51window I suppose for the highlights and
  137. 4:53then take a look and see in the shadows
  138. 4:54what's going on here I have to give a
  139. 4:56slight Edge to the fx30 here there's
  140. 4:57definitely more information in the
  141. 4:59shadows and also if you look at outside
  142. 5:00the window behind me the highlights look
  143. 5:03better on the fx30 and it has a nicer
  144. 5:05roll offer it's softer and more pleasing
  145. 5:07and hold on to more information and this
  146. 5:09is basically because of the log curves
  147. 5:11of s-log 3 versus C log 3 and then
  148. 5:14taking a look at some earlier examples
  149. 5:16which I showed you if you take a look at
  150. 5:17this one with the car and you look in
  151. 5:18the background the Highlight roll off is
  152. 5:20much nicer on the fx30 and just looks
  153. 5:23better and then if you take a look at
  154. 5:25this example with my face here you can
  155. 5:26see the highlights again look more
  156. 5:28pleasing has a softer roll off so
  157. 5:30overall I'd have to give a dynamic range
  158. 5:32advantage to the fx30 and a6700 in terms
  159. 5:36of low light I have to say that these
  160. 5:38cameras have pretty similar performance
  161. 5:40in the low ISO range those are pretty
  162. 5:42steady increase of noise as the iso
  163. 5:45increases and they were both pretty
  164. 5:47similar up to around 10 000 but once you
  165. 5:50get to twelve thousand eight hundred and
  166. 5:51sixteen thousand the R7 was slightly
  167. 5:53better and above 16 000 neither of them
  168. 5:56were really that good these cameras are
  169. 5:58not really great in low light but I have
  170. 6:00to give a slight advantage to some of
  171. 6:01those higher isos to the R7 but again
  172. 6:03pretty similar in the lower ISO range up
  173. 6:05to about 10 000. in terms of autofocus
  174. 6:07the R7 came out about a year ago whereas
  175. 6:10the a6700 just came out and has that
  176. 6:12brand new AI chip for better autofocus
  177. 6:15technology and improvements now I didn't
  178. 6:17get to test this out of course because I
  179. 6:19don't have the R7 but the R7 has fewer
  180. 6:21subject detection modes it has people
  181. 6:22animals and vehicle the a6700 has human
  182. 6:26animal slash bird animal bird insect car
  183. 6:30slash train and airplane so this would
  184. 6:33be interesting to test out but a lot
  185. 6:34more different modes and new technology
  186. 6:36that's in in the a6700 because of that
  187. 6:39new AI chip next let's talk about Ibis
  188. 6:41now I was curious if the a6700 would
  189. 6:44have an improved Ibis system over the
  190. 6:46fx30 and the a6700 is actually listed at
  191. 6:50five stops of stabilization versus 5.5
  192. 6:52on the fx30 now I don't have all this
  193. 6:55stuff to compare but my buddy Jeff over
  194. 6:57at reach films made a video comparing
  195. 6:58them and I'll leave that video linked
  196. 7:00down below but basically the 6700 and
  197. 7:02the fx30 perform very similarly in terms
  198. 7:04of Ibis so the tests I made earlier with
  199. 7:07the R7 against the fx30 I think will
  200. 7:09give us a good idea about what's going
  201. 7:11on again I use the Sigma 18 and 35 for
  202. 7:13this these tests and when you're
  203. 7:14comparing the Canon system with the Sony
  204. 7:16system the Canon Ibis is the same you
  205. 7:20know as a sensor shift stabilization
  206. 7:21which is equivalent to like the standard
  207. 7:23Ibis in the Sony cameras and when you do
  208. 7:25Ibis plus electronic in the Canon it's
  209. 7:27similar to the active stab so if you
  210. 7:29take a look at these examples I always
  211. 7:31do walking tests and static shots now in
  212. 7:34terms of the walking shots here I'd say
  213. 7:36that the Canon doesn't way better job in
  214. 7:39terms of you know just making it look
  215. 7:40smoother and then when you get on to
  216. 7:43looking at the static shots I think they
  217. 7:45are pretty similar between the two
  218. 7:48systems here but one thing I do want to
  219. 7:50point out is that Canon does have a lot
  220. 7:52of stabilized lenses and I was using a
  221. 7:55non-stabilized lens in this example
  222. 7:56these examples because I was using the
  223. 7:57Sigma 18 to 35. so if you're using some
  224. 8:00of those stabilized lenses the R7 will
  225. 8:02perform better than shown in these
  226. 8:04examples next let's talk about rolling
  227. 8:05shutter and neither of these cameras are
  228. 8:07really that great for Rolling shutter
  229. 8:09performance but the fx30 is definitely
  230. 8:11better than the R7 I'd say the R7 is
  231. 8:13really bad so if rolling shutter is
  232. 8:15something that you are concerned about
  233. 8:16the fx30 is definitely better than the
  234. 8:18R7 next on to the big discussion of
  235. 8:21overheating and run times so the first
  236. 8:23test I want to talk about here are going
  237. 8:25to be in in the studio so it's 70 to 75
  238. 8:28degrees Fahrenheit and low humidity
  239. 8:29because the air conditioner is on the
  240. 8:31a6700 and 4k24 ran for two hours and
  241. 8:35three minutes when the battery died with
  242. 8:36no overheat warning this is fantastic
  243. 8:38because we didn't it didn't overheat and
  244. 8:40also two hours I think is a solid
  245. 8:42performance out of the battery now the
  246. 8:44R7 and 4K fine 24 ran until the battery
  247. 8:47died at 2 hours and 14 minutes it had
  248. 8:50three bars on the overheat meter now I
  249. 8:53really like that Canon has this meter
  250. 8:55because it gives you a sense of how warm
  251. 8:57the camera is versus Sony once you get
  252. 8:59close to overheating it just sort of
  253. 9:00flashes a warning and then shuts off so
  254. 9:02in addition to this there's also a
  255. 9:05non-fine mode in the R7 so you can shoot
  256. 9:084K 24 with a line skip mode so it's not
  257. 9:10oversampled now this does reduce the
  258. 9:12image quality but it allows the camera
  259. 9:14to run without overheating so if you're
  260. 9:16in a situation where you need extended
  261. 9:18run times you do not want to stress
  262. 9:19about overheating or if your camera
  263. 9:21overheats you could flip it into the
  264. 9:22non-fine mode and keep it running the
  265. 9:24a6700 does not have that mode another
  266. 9:27thing I noticed that's different about
  267. 9:28the can cameras and the Sony cameras is
  268. 9:30that when you plug an HDMI cable into
  269. 9:33the Sony cameras you get decreased run
  270. 9:35time when you're recording internally so
  271. 9:37if you you're just using a monitor or if
  272. 9:38you're live streaming or doing a podcast
  273. 9:40and you're also recording internally
  274. 9:42you'll get shorter runtimes so in the
  275. 9:45studio when I plugged HDMI into the
  276. 9:46a6700 IT overheated in one hour and 11
  277. 9:50minutes I then tried to extend the
  278. 9:52runtime using a dummy battery to try to
  279. 9:54pull some more heat out of the camera so
  280. 9:56with HDMI and the dummy battery it
  281. 9:58overheated in one hour and 31 minutes so
  282. 10:01when I ran it like I said earlier
  283. 10:03without the HDMI I didn't even see an
  284. 10:05overheat warning now I didn't test this
  285. 10:08on the R7 when I had the R7 but just
  286. 10:10from My overall experience testing all
  287. 10:12these cameras the HDMI
  288. 10:15being run off the camera while recording
  289. 10:17internally and the Canon cameras really
  290. 10:18didn't make much of a difference
  291. 10:19compared with the Sony cameras and also
  292. 10:22the R7 as I said before has that line
  293. 10:24skip mode if you really need it which
  294. 10:25runs cooler so in terms of 4K 24 I
  295. 10:28definitely have an advantage going to
  296. 10:29the R7 now onto higher frame rates the
  297. 10:33a6700 and 4k60 ran for 19 minutes until
  298. 10:37it overheated which is not a very strong
  299. 10:39performance like we were saying before
  300. 10:41the R7 has two different modes in 4k 60
  301. 10:43so in the non-fine that's the
  302. 10:46non-cropped but line skipped 4k60 it ran
  303. 10:48for an hour and 40 minutes until the
  304. 10:50card filled up but it did have six bars
  305. 10:52of overheating but it didn't overheat
  306. 10:54now the R7 in the 4K cropped 60 frames
  307. 10:58per second again ran until the card
  308. 11:00filled up at an hour and 40 minutes but
  309. 11:02the overheat warning was a 10 bars in
  310. 11:03flashing it was about to overheat so if
  311. 11:06you're looking for longer run times in
  312. 11:094k 60 I'd recommend the R7 but if you're
  313. 11:11looking for better image quality like we
  314. 11:13were talking about before the a6700 is
  315. 11:15going to be a better bet in terms of 120
  316. 11:18frames per second of course we can't
  317. 11:19test 4K 120 on the R7 because it doesn't
  318. 11:21do that but on the a6700 it only ran for
  319. 11:2418 minutes until it overheated now onto
  320. 11:27the outdoor tests so for all these tests
  321. 11:29I had the cameras out in the sun and
  322. 11:30being in North Carolina is usually
  323. 11:32pretty humid here so the a6700 when I
  324. 11:34tested it it was about 80 degrees
  325. 11:36Fahrenheit outside and in 4k 24 it
  326. 11:39overheated in only 22 minutes so not a
  327. 11:41very strong performance for the a6700
  328. 11:43when I tested the R7 last summer it was
  329. 11:46between 85 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit and
  330. 11:49in 4k fine 24 frames per second that's
  331. 11:51the over sampled 4K it ran for an hour
  332. 11:53and one minute so about three times
  333. 11:55longer than the 6700 but like I said
  334. 11:57before we have that line skipped or
  335. 11:59non-fine 4K mode so in 4k non-fine 24 we
  336. 12:03got two hours and 58 minutes until it
  337. 12:06ran out of battery so it didn't overheat
  338. 12:07so we got basically unlimited run time
  339. 12:09in that mode and also we got a longer
  340. 12:12run time just in terms of battery life
  341. 12:13than we did in the 4K fine so overall I
  342. 12:16have to say huge Advantage for the R7 in
  343. 12:18terms of heat management and not
  344. 12:20overheating nearly as quickly so there
  345. 12:22was a lot of details that I just went
  346. 12:23through there let's talk about what's
  347. 12:24the same between these two cameras I
  348. 12:26think over overall they have very
  349. 12:27similar image quality when you shoot out
  350. 12:28in the real world as you saw in those
  351. 12:30examples earlier on this video they both
  352. 12:32shoot 4K 10 bit 422 there's no recording
  353. 12:34time limits they both have an aps-c
  354. 12:36sensor and they have both have great
  355. 12:37battery life but now on to the
  356. 12:39differences first of all the sensors
  357. 12:41which I've been talking about before in
  358. 12:42terms of video but in terms of
  359. 12:43Photography the R7 has a 32.5 megapixel
  360. 12:47sensor versus a 26.1 megapixel sensor
  361. 12:49which can make a little bit of a
  362. 12:51difference in terms of Photography and
  363. 12:52cropping and all those sorts of things
  364. 12:54the epf-c sensor is a little bit tricky
  365. 12:56to understand here now with the Canon
  366. 12:58cameras they have a 1.6 times crop and
  367. 13:01in the Sony cameras they have a 1.5
  368. 13:03times crop so there's a little bit of a
  369. 13:06difference in video because in video the
  370. 13:08a6700 has an additional four percent
  371. 13:10crop so in video the R7 is a 1.6 times
  372. 13:14crop and the a6700 has a 1.56 times crop
  373. 13:18so they're a little bit closer in terms
  374. 13:19of codex there's definitely a difference
  375. 13:21between these two cameras the R7 has two
  376. 13:23different flavors you can shoot an ipb
  377. 13:25or ipb like right on the Sony camera
  378. 13:27they give you all their options so you
  379. 13:29can shoot in the xavcsi which is their
  380. 13:32all intra codec you can shoot in their
  381. 13:34xavcs which is their longop or ipv codec
  382. 13:37and they also have the HS codec which is
  383. 13:40their highly compressed h.265 so a lot
  384. 13:43more options for codex in the a6700 the
  385. 13:47higher frame rates is definitely a big
  386. 13:48difference which we've already talked
  387. 13:49about you get the oversampled 4K 60 in
  388. 13:52the a6700 and you get 4k 120 which you
  389. 13:55don't get any 4K 120 in the R7 in terms
  390. 13:59of the LCD screens on the back of the
  391. 14:00cameras the a6700 has a three inch 1.03
  392. 14:05million dot screen and the R7 has a
  393. 14:07three inch 1.62 million dot screen so
  394. 14:10the R7 has more resolution and in
  395. 14:12general I think looks better than the
  396. 14:14a6700 this is their older screen I was
  397. 14:17bummed when they didn't put the high
  398. 14:18resolution screen of the fx30 in this
  399. 14:21camera in terms of the evf they're both
  400. 14:23listed at 2.36 million dots but the R7
  401. 14:27definitely seems larger and easier to
  402. 14:29see and it's also in the center which I
  403. 14:31personally like because it's lined up
  404. 14:33with the lens versus the a6700 has that
  405. 14:36sort of range finder placement on the
  406. 14:38side here and it's just a lot smaller
  407. 14:40and harder to in my opinion look through
  408. 14:42and get a get an image out of but on
  409. 14:44paper they have the same amount of
  410. 14:45resolution in terms of photo frame rates
  411. 14:47the R7 has a pretty big Advantage here
  412. 14:49it can shoot 30 frames per second
  413. 14:50electronic and 15 mechanical the a6700
  414. 14:53can do 11 electronic and 11 Mechanicals
  415. 14:56so if you're into high burst rate
  416. 14:58photography then the R7 is going to have
  417. 15:00more of an advantage next let's talk
  418. 15:02about the body shape build quality and
  419. 15:04ergonomics and all that sort of stuff
  420. 15:05now when I first saw the a6700 and saw
  421. 15:08pictures and videos of it I was thinking
  422. 15:10I wasn't really gonna like it that much
  423. 15:11it looks kind of cheap and that kind of
  424. 15:13thing but after using it for a while it
  425. 15:15does feel pretty solid and I think
  426. 15:16better than I expected I think it's just
  427. 15:18personal preference really between you
  428. 15:20know the two cameras but there's a
  429. 15:21couple things I want to point out about
  430. 15:22the a6700 design first of all they made
  431. 15:25some really nice improvements I really
  432. 15:26do like this new implementation of the
  433. 15:29photo video snq dial it's both uh you
  434. 15:33know very accurate and satisfying and
  435. 15:35it's just it's it's a really nice
  436. 15:37location it's very simplified layout
  437. 15:39here there's not really a lot of extra
  438. 15:40buttons and dials you have your PS pasm
  439. 15:43dial and custom mode dial here and one
  440. 15:45thing that's really nice about the a6700
  441. 15:47is they finally put the third exposure
  442. 15:49control dial so you have one here one up
  443. 15:51top and then the wheel in the back uh
  444. 15:53like I said before I don't like this
  445. 15:54small evf but you do have the flip out
  446. 15:57rotatable screen so really nice for
  447. 15:59filming yourself one thing to point out
  448. 16:02here is I don't love these doors I'm
  449. 16:05trying to get used to them but um
  450. 16:07they're just a little bit hard to use
  451. 16:08and you kind of have to get your nail in
  452. 16:09there to like pull it open we also have
  453. 16:11Micro HDMI which of course is a bummer
  454. 16:13but the R7 also has that one big
  455. 16:15complaint about the body design are
  456. 16:17these strap triangle things I thought we
  457. 16:21were over these
  458. 16:23Flappy ones the newer cameras have like
  459. 16:25some sort of tension in there to hold it
  460. 16:26from flapping or they have that
  461. 16:27horizontal connection for the strap to
  462. 16:30go into which is really nice on cameras
  463. 16:31like the fx3 and fx30
  464. 16:34but they also put a nice big deep grip
  465. 16:36on this camera so it's really nice to
  466. 16:37hold and that means we have the full
  467. 16:40size fz100 battery which is fantastic
  468. 16:42and where we're getting really nice run
  469. 16:44times on the a6700 now the R7 in my
  470. 16:48opinion is a little bit nicer to hold
  471. 16:51and to use uh but again neither of these
  472. 16:53cameras I'm really going to complain
  473. 16:54about too much other than as I said the
  474. 16:56evf it's really just personal preference
  475. 16:58about the two cameras and which one you
  476. 17:00like personally I prefer the ergonomics
  477. 17:03and feel of the Canon cameras over the
  478. 17:05Sony cameras but the Sony camera Works
  479. 17:08absolutely fine and that's just my
  480. 17:09personal preference in terms of memory
  481. 17:11cards they both take SD cards but the
  482. 17:13one big difference here is of course the
  483. 17:15a6700 has one SD card slot whereas the
  484. 17:18R7 has two SD card slots so for some
  485. 17:22people that doesn't make a difference
  486. 17:23whatsoever for me personally I really do
  487. 17:25enjoy having dual card slots for
  488. 17:27redundancy if you're shooting any sort
  489. 17:29of client work or anything like that you
  490. 17:30have a backup all the time I always put
  491. 17:32two cards in my camera but I again for
  492. 17:34some people that really doesn't matter
  493. 17:35and one of the bigger things to talk
  494. 17:37about with these two cameras is not
  495. 17:39about the cameras themselves but the
  496. 17:40lenses in the Canon ecosystem in the RF
  497. 17:43aps-c system there really aren't a lot
  498. 17:46of lenses available there are a few but
  499. 17:48and there are also some cheaper
  500. 17:49full-frame lenses that you can use but
  501. 17:51there really aren't a lot of native RF
  502. 17:53lenses now you can use EF lenses and
  503. 17:55adapt them and I have a I've made a
  504. 17:57video about my recommendations for
  505. 17:59lenses for the R7 I'll leave that video
  506. 18:00linked down below but overall if you're
  507. 18:03going to buy a 6700 you have way more
  508. 18:05options both from Sony and third party
  509. 18:07for aps-c lenses for this camera so big
  510. 18:10Advantage for the Sony for lens options
  511. 18:13so as I try to wrap up this video let me
  512. 18:15first talk about why you want to buy one
  513. 18:17camera over the other so why is the R7
  514. 18:19better than the a6700 well it clearly
  515. 18:22has better heat management so if you're
  516. 18:25looking for longer run times and less
  517. 18:26overheating the R7 is going to be a
  518. 18:28better bet for you it also has better
  519. 18:30Ibis or stabilization it has slightly
  520. 18:32better low light again that was very
  521. 18:33slight but it I think in my opinion it
  522. 18:35does have better low light performance
  523. 18:36than the a6700 it has dual card slots
  524. 18:39instead of the single card slot in the
  525. 18:40a6700 it has better ergonomics and a
  526. 18:43better evf and that was subjective and
  527. 18:46in my opinion like I said but I did like
  528. 18:48it better you also get more megapixels
  529. 18:50for photography so if you're doing a lot
  530. 18:52of Photography you need to crop then
  531. 18:54that comes in handy you also get a
  532. 18:56higher burst rate in photography than
  533. 18:58you do on the a6700 so why is the a6700
  534. 19:01better well you get the more advanced
  535. 19:04autofocus features in with that AI chip
  536. 19:06you also get that auto framing feature
  537. 19:08which is really cool for filming
  538. 19:09yourself it's it's a lot of fun and can
  539. 19:11be handy in a few situations you also
  540. 19:14get those higher quality higher frame
  541. 19:16rates so the 4K 60 that's oversample and
  542. 19:18you also get 4k 120 you get more dynamic
  543. 19:21range because you have s-log 3 versus
  544. 19:23c-log 3 and you get better rolling
  545. 19:25shutter performance so the reason I'm
  546. 19:27making this video is of course trying to
  547. 19:29help everyone make the decision between
  548. 19:30the a6700 and the R7 because if you're
  549. 19:33watching this you're are probably
  550. 19:34wondering that but really you have to
  551. 19:36think Beyond just the camera decision
  552. 19:38because when you're buying one of these
  553. 19:40cameras you're buying into an ecosystem
  554. 19:41and like I mentioned earlier on the
  555. 19:43video part of that is lenses so the Sony
  556. 19:46e-mount has way more options for aps-c
  557. 19:49lenses and that's a big Advantage you
  558. 19:51also got to think about which lenses you
  559. 19:52already own which other bodies you own
  560. 19:53or might be upgrading to in the future
  561. 19:55also if you shoot with other people what
  562. 19:57system are they shooting on because if
  563. 19:59you're all in the same system you can
  564. 20:00shoot lenses the footage will match all
  565. 20:02that kind of stuff so it's not just
  566. 20:04a6700 versus R7 it's also the ecosystem
  567. 20:07that you're buying it to you really have
  568. 20:08to consider that now onto the price well
  569. 20:11at the time of recording this both
  570. 20:12cameras are 1400 here in the United
  571. 20:14States so again same price for those two
  572. 20:16cameras now to try to really wrap up
  573. 20:18this video let me try to answer the
  574. 20:19question of who these cameras are for
  575. 20:21these are hybrid cameras these are not
  576. 20:24dedicated video cameras so if you're
  577. 20:26doing either mostly photography or 50 50
  578. 20:29these are the kind of cameras that you
  579. 20:31should be looking at if you need long
  580. 20:33run times and it dedicated video camera
  581. 20:35that will be reliable and won't overheat
  582. 20:37luckily Sony has the fx30 which is sort
  583. 20:39of in this price range but if you're
  584. 20:41going to try to decide between these two
  585. 20:43cameras for video production the R7 does
  586. 20:45run longer because it has better heat
  587. 20:47management and you also have that
  588. 20:49non-fine mode that won't overheat but if
  589. 20:51you're looking for a camera that has
  590. 20:53that has better image quality in the
  591. 20:55higher frame rates and also has better
  592. 20:56dynamic range the a6700 will be better
  593. 20:58for you I think both these cameras are
  594. 21:00great as a hybrid camera keeping that in
  595. 21:04mind that you're not going to get crazy
  596. 21:05video production on these for extended
  597. 21:06period of times but short clips those
  598. 21:08sorts of things and get great
  599. 21:10photography capabilities in them they're
  600. 21:11both going to be awesome hopefully this
  601. 21:13helped you sort this out which one you
  602. 21:15should go with and if you did enjoy this
  603. 21:16video and found found value in it I
  604. 21:18would really appreciate you hitting
  605. 21:20subscribe thank you so much for watching
  606. 21:22and we'll see you in the next one
