Have been looking at the A6700 for awhile now and noticed all the BF deals coming through JB Hi-Fi.
However, instead of buying it from JB, I went over to Sony Australia and requested for a price match. A few moments later, my cart was updated with the A6700 + Bonus free NPFZ100 battery for $1,684.15 inclusive of delivery. BOUGHT!

    Did you consider a Sony Alpha A7 III Full Frame for less? ($1520 via JB and cashback)

    • frozze on 19/11/2024 - 13:17

      I already have an A7III. Was actually considering the A7C II as an upgrade to the A7III but I think I don't use it near enough to justify the extra investment on a FF.

      • boomramada on 19/11/2024 - 14:02

        I'm in the same boat, but I want to move towards FF and Sony Alpha A7C II is $2350.. getting closer to my trigger point :)

    • npnp on 19/11/2024 - 14:00

      I just can't comprehend why would someone need 6700 when full frame A7iii costs less than that. Sure, there are a few differences but surely they're not worthy enough for splurging another 1600$ (unless of course you won the lottery yesterday and got nothing else to spend the money on)

        The A6700 is a lot more compact than the A7 III. APS-C lenses are much smaller too. So if you don't need nice bokeh or greater subject separation or better low-light, the A6700 would be better, especially when travelling.

        I had an A6600 at one point and I found myself reaching for the A6600 more than the A7III due to the form factor and weight.

  • sicarius on 19/11/2024 - 13:39

    any particular reason why you wanted to move from a A7 III to A6700? From what I understand they are pretty similar except in agr and video?

    • ckwatsydney on 19/11/2024 - 13:45

      Maybe autofocus and also want to take advantage of crop factor?

      Cheaper lens, more portable, way better AF, better for wildlife

      a6700 absolutely destroys the a7iii for everyone except those looking for a camera with very specific specifications… namely low light. For everything else, the a6700 is just a better camera.

      • eug on 19/11/2024 - 13:55

        namely low light.

        And the increased subject separation that fast FF lenses will give you.

      • npnp on 19/11/2024 - 14:14

        Wow.. a lot of misconceptions.
        Why would you buy a full frame over mobile phone camera;

        1) Low light performance
        2) Higher dynamic range (not fake HDR)
        3) Subject seperation (not fake Bokeh)
        4) Image quality/ details

        In all above areas, A7iii full frame sensor destroys APSC sensor in 6700.

        For anything else (faster shutter, portability etc) then I might as well use my mobile phone.

        Basically, you need a good flagship mobile phone and a full frame camera. Anything in between (such as 6700) are becoming obsolete.

          For you, sure. But different people use their cameras differently. If you're travelling or going on a multi-day hike, a lighter camera and lens setup would be preferable. If you're sitting in a studio or just taking photos at an event, weight is less of a concern. So it really depends on what you're doing with the camera.

          In all above areas, A7iii full frame sensor destroys APSC sensor in 6700.

          Likewise, in all the above areas, an APS-C sensor destroys a phone sensor by a far, far larger margin than APS-C vs FF.

          • Kazusa on 19/11/2024 - 15:08

            @eug: Yup 3 stops of dynamic range between iPhone and apsc vs slightly over half a stop between apsc and full frame

            https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/PDR.htm

            Not to mention the much cheaper and lighter lens for apsc

            If you’re going to go into high end full frame lens might as well get a nicer camera like the 7R5/7M4, considering if you can afford the nicer lens that destroy apsc lens you’d be able to afford the better cameras.

          Ricoh GR tho, pocketable camera with an APS-C.

          1. The lens is sharp and has amazing rendering.
          2. 40mm focal length my beloved
          3. Film sim is better than Fuji
          4. Latest HDF is more exy, but well worth it. Built-in ND filter is useless anyway.
        • stickymoo on 19/11/2024 - 15:19

          Factoring in sport, wildlife, landscape, and video which there are options in between that work great.

          RED V-RAPTOR XL or the KOMODO S35 global shutter sensor come to mind..

          Lots of other factors than just size.

          Heat dissipation, dynamic range, power consumption, readout speed, noise and rolling shutter, sensor design and architecture.

    This camera and the 70-350mm lens have been so good for a light wildlife walking around combo. Jelly about this price though

  • Swinno on 19/11/2024 - 14:51

    Bought this last year before my europe trip and added a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 for walk around. It was such a great little camera.

    I am heading to Costa Rica and USA early next year and currently shopping around for a new zoom lens. Interested to know what others have bought.

    I have seen the 70-350 recommended along with some success with the tamron 18-300 and the tamron 28-200. Alot of reviews suggest the 18-300 struggles being a cheaper lens with large zoom.

    Unsure what to do! Please help black friday sales to make it easier!

    • AustriaBargain on 19/11/2024 - 15:03

      Why not a fixed prime lens? Cheaper, photos will look great, and consistent. It's quieter in operation, smaller.

    • frozze on 19/11/2024 - 15:05

      That's great to hear. I just bought the Sigma 18-50mm to pair with the A6700 for my travel at the end of the year.
      I have the Tamron 28-200 for my A7III which I think it's a pretty good telephoto lens.
