The Sony Alpha a6600 was announced on August 28 2019 and effectively replaced the Sony a6500.
On July 12th, 2023 we finally got a new APS-C camera in the shape of the Sony Alpha a6700.
With almost 4 years between these two models you’d expect some big changes, so is this actually the case?
In this detailed comparison I’ll be exploring the key differences between these two Sony Alpha APS-C cameras.

Key Differences
Now let’s take a much closer look at the key differences between these two APS-C cameras.
Sensor and Processor
The Sony a6600 features a 24.2 megapixel APS-C Exmor™ CMOS sensor that utilizes thin copper wiring, enhanced circuit processing, and an enhanced front-end LSI to boost light-gathering abilities, reduce noise, and increase readout speeds.
The image sensor in the a6600 works together with the Sony BIONZ X image processing engine to perform data processing around 1.8x faster than its predecessor the Sony a6500.
The Sony a6700 features a much newer 26.0 MP APS-C Back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. This is the same sensor than can be found in the Sony FX30.
The back-illuminated structure enhances light collection efficiency, expands circuitry scale, and with the help of a copper wiring layer that contributes to quicker data transfer, outputs data at a very high speed, while minimizing noise.
The BIONZ XR™ processor in the a6700 delivers increased processing power for exceptional image quality. With up to eight times more processing power than the BIONZ X found in the a6600, the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine delivers natural gradations and realistic colors with low noise for stills and movies.
ISO Sensitivity
The ISO sensitivity values between the two cameras remains the same. But one would hope to see an improvement in noise with the new BSI sensor and processor of the a6700.
Sony A6600 | Sony A6700 | |
---|---|---|
Normal ISO (Stills): | ISO 100-32000 | ISO 100 – 32000 |
Expanded ISO (Stills): | ISO 50 to 102400 | ISO 50 – 102400 |
Normal ISO (Movies): | ISO 100-32000 | ISO 100 – 32000 |
Expanded ISO (Movies): | ISO 100-32000 | ISO 100 – 32000 |
Still Image Recording Formats
The Sony a6600 supports JPEG and Compressed RAW only.
The Sony a6700 also supports JPEG and Compressed RAW but also gains support for Lossless Compressed RAW capture. There’s also a new light image quality selection that generates less data for JPEG and HEIF images.
For the first time in an APS-C camera, the a6700 includes the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) format with smooth 10-bit gradations for more realistic reproduction of skies and portrait skin tones.
Neither camera supports uncompressed RAW files.
The a6700 also supports 14-bit RAW files when shooting with long exposure noise reduction and bulb mode, whereas the a6600 drops down to 12-bit when shooting in these modes.
Video
With 4 years between these two cameras it’s not surprising that the a6700 knocks the socks off the a6600 when it comes to shooting video.
The a6600 supports 8bit (up to 100Mbps) 4K video recording up to 30p with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, allowing oversampling of around 2.4×2 the image information needed for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160), equivalent to 6K resolution. It uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec to compress the movie files but maintain the quality.
The maximum continuous recording time for a single movie shot with the a6600 is approximately 13 hours. That’s if the camera doesn’t overheat before then!
The a6700 captures 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) at up to 60p (50p) using Sony’s proprietary 6K oversampling technology which results in only a small 1.04x crop. By compressing this expanded detail into the output, it achieves 4K video quality with outstanding definition, even at higher frame rates. The camera also supports high-quality XAVC S-I (All-Intra) and XAVC HS formats with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling.
The a6700 also supports high frame rate recording at up to 120p for 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) but this is with a 38% crop.
S&Q mode also enables recording of slow or quick motion sequences in camera with up to 240 FPS supported in Full HD, this compares to 120 FPS with the a6600.
Incorporating the same color science as the highly regarded CineAlta and Cinema Line, the a6700 includes Sony’s S-Cinetone picture profile as a preset.
Being the newer camera of the two the a6700 comes with a few features that you won’t find on the a6600, let’s take a closer look at these now.
Stills / Movies / S&Q Dial
The dedicated dial on the camera allows you to have 3 dedicated memories for still, movies and S&Q.
Focus Map
Focus Map lets you easily visualize depth of field when you’re shooting video. When in use, a focus (depth map) is overlaid on a display of the live view in real time, so you can easily see which areas are in or out of focus.
AF Assist
While shooting a movie with auto focus, you can change the subject in focus by operating the focus ring of the lens.
Real-time Tracking for Movies
AI-based Real-time Tracking provides a dramatic improvement in Real-time Tracking performance, automatically recognising, tracking, and focusing on the eyes of a specified subject. Tracking can also be initiated by touch.
Active Mode Enhanced Movie Image Stabilization
Active Mode provides additional image stabilization for handheld movie shooting. The a6700 has the ability to accurately measure camera shake which is then precisely compensated for optically. However, using this feature will result in a 1.13x crop.
Breathing Compensation
Breathing Compensation basically crops and resizes the video to cancel-out any change in a lens’s angle-of-view (AoV) as it focuses. In other words, there’s no distracting change of framing as you refocus.
However, this mode only works with select Sony lenses because the camera needs a profile of the breathing characteristics. You can find the full list of lenses that support this function on Sony’s website here.
Here’s a video from Sony to demonstrate Breathing Compensation on the a7IV.
Import User LUT files
See how your footage will look in post-processing while you’re shooting. The α6700 allows you to import a custom LUT (Look Up Table) that can be applied to the camera’s monitor image while recording, providing a preview.
Auto Framing
The Auto Framing function automatically crops and re-frames the image while using AI to track your subject.
In-camera Time-Lapse / Interval Shooting
The in-camera time-lapse function allows you to create time-lapse videos within the camera itself, with the a6600 this was only possible by using post editing software, although you still might want to do this in post for maximum control.
Sony A6700 Forum & Facebook Group
If you are looking for further help and advice on the A6700 or would simply like to share your photos and videos, then please head over to our friendly APS-C Forum. If you prefer Facebook then I also run the Sony A6700 + A6600 Shooters Group.
Stabilization
Both cameras feature Sony’s In-Body Stabilization (IBIS). The 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization mechanism detects and compensates for camera shake along five different axes, including angular (pitch and yaw), horizontal, vertical and rotational, for stabilization equivalent to a 5-step faster shutter speed setting.
As mentioned previously, the a6700 also features Active Mode Enhanced Movie Image Stabilization which is not found on the a6600.
This applies a 1.13x crop to the footage and allows the camera to move the crop around, within the standard video regions, to correct for more dramatic motion than the sensor shift alone can provide.
The camera’s gyro data is saved into the video file so that you can apply more powerful digital correction (or less correction, less crop), in Sony’s Catalyst software.
Here’s a short video demonstrating it in action with the Sony a7SIII.
Autofocus
The Sony a6600 features a Fast Hybrid AF system that combines the best of phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF to achieve a fast 0.02-sec acquisition speed.
The a6700 is equipped with an innovative AI processing unit that greatly enhances its AF performance compared to the a6600, including more accurate recognition for a wider range of subjects.
In addition to humans and animals that the a6600 is capable of tracking, the a6700 will recognize birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes.
Heads and bodies are recognized in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human and Animal settings, and now for the Bird setting too. Animal recognition performance has been improved by more than 40% compared to the a6600.
Phase & Contrast Detection Points
The Sony a6600 has 425 phase detection points that cover 84% of the image area, making it easier than ever to lock-on and track your subject across the frame.
But the a6700 has managed to improve on this further with up to 759 phase detection points, covering approximately 93% of the image area when shooting stills. For shooting movies this reduces to a maximum of 495 points.
Lowlight AF Performance
When it comes to auto focusing in low light the Sony a6700 has a one stop advantage over the a6600:
- A6600: EV-2 to EV20 (ISO100 equivalent with F2.0 lens attached)
- A6700: EV-3 to EV20 (ISO100 equivalent with F2.0 lens attached)
Shutter
Both the a6600 and a6700 feature a Mechanical / Electronic shutter with a shutter speed of 1/4000 to 30s for stills and 1/4000 to 1/4 for movies.
However, the a6700 allows you to shoot as fast as 1/8000sec when shooting with the electronic shutter. This is great when shooting wide-open with fast lenses during the daytime.
The a6700 also supports Variable Shutter that lets you manually adjust the shutter speed to check the impact of flickering on the monitor. This is supported whilst shooting both stills and video.
Drive Speed & Buffer
If you enjoy shooing any form of action, sports or birds in flight then the drive speed (frames per second) along with the shot buffer will be a very important consideration for you.
Both the a6600 and a6700 support a maximum frame rate of 11 fps when shooting in Hi+ with their mechanical shutters. However, if you want to shoot silently with the electronic shutter then only the a6700 can shoot at 11 fps, the a6600 will drop down to 8 fps.
Buffer
There is a much larger difference between the two cameras when we compare the size of the image buffers.
JPEG L Extra Fine | Compressed RAW | Lossless Compressed RAW | HEIF | |
---|---|---|---|---|
A6600 | 99 Shots | 46 Shots | – | – |
A6700 | 143 Shots | 59 Shots | 23 Shots |
Electronic Viewfinder and LCD Display
Both cameras feature an electric viewfinder (EVF) as well as an LCD display. Let’s take a closer look at how they compare to one another.
Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
Looking at the specs the EVF appears to be practically identical between the two cameras, other than a slight difference in the eyepoint.
However, according to Sony the EVF of the a6700 has twice the brightness of the a6600 and a wider 33-degree viewing angle.
Sony A6600 | Sony a6700 | |
---|---|---|
EVF Type | 1.0 cm (0.39 type) electronic viewfinder (XGA OLED) | 1.0 cm (0.39 type) electronic viewfinder (XGA OLED) |
Field Coverage | 100 % | 100 % |
EVF Resolution | 2,359,296 dots | 2,359,296 dots |
EVF Magnification | Approx. 1.07x (35mm camera equivalent: Approx. 0.70x) with 50mm lens at infinity, -1m-1 | Approx. 1.07x (35 mm camera equivalent: Approx. 0.70x) with 50 mm lens at infinity, -1 m-1 |
EVF Eyepoint | Approx. 23mm from the eyepiece lens, 21.4mm from the eyepiece frame at -1m– (CIPA standard) | Approx. 22 mm from the eyepiece lens, 19.4 mm from the eyepiece frame at -1 m-1 (CIPA standard) |
Refresh Rate | NTSC mode: STD 60fps / HI 120fps, PAL mode: STD 50fps / HI 100fps | NTSC mode: STD 60fps / HI 120fps, PAL mode: STD 50fps / HI 100fps |
LCD Display
The a6600 features a touch sensitive 7.5cm (3.0-type) wide type TFT LCD with 921,600 dots. This is tilt-able up by approx. 180 degrees and down by approx. 74 degrees. The screen can be flipped-up for selfie style shooting but if you have a microphone mounted to the hot shoe this might block your view of the screen.
The Sony a6700 features an improved LCD design over the a6600. The resolution only sees a very modest increase to 1 036 800 dots, the biggest change here is in its movement.
The LCD can be flipped out to the side and rotated approx. 270 °. Helping you to comfortably shoot from a variety of positions.
Improved Menu and Touch Control
The a6700 receives the new menu updates and touch functionality that have worked there way into cameras such as the a7IV and a7RV.
You can easily activate key functions, such as selecting a focus point or subject to track, or triggering the shutter.
Swiping in from the left or right edge of the shooting display reveals touch icons that allow quick changes to the shooting mode and other settings.
The function (Fn) menu can also now be displayed by a simple swipe-up.
Camera Body & Controls
Both cameras share a very similar body but they are not identical, with the a6700 gaining some key control improvements over its predecessor and a little extra weight and size.
Each camera’s dimensions and weights are as follows:
- A6600: W/H/D: 120 x 66.9 x 69.3 mm, (approx 503 g / 1lb 1.8 oz)
- A6700: W/H/D: 122.0 x 69.0 x 75.1 mm, (approx. 493 g / Approx. 1 lb 1.4 oz)
Sony A6600
Sony A6700
If you look more closely at the two bodies you will spot a couple of key differences.
Most notable is that the a6700 now gains a front control wheel. This will make it a lot more comfortable for shooters who switch between full-frame and APS-C bodies.
On the top of the a6700 you will now find a dedicated movie record button in-place of the C1 button on the a6600. There’s also now an extra dial on the a6700 that allows you to have 3 dedicated memories for stills, movies and S&Q. The a6600 only has 2 memories and these are for stills only.
The C1 button on the a6700 is now found on the right side of the camera where the movie record button is on the a6600.
On the rear of the cameras the AF/MF switch on the a6600 has been replaced by an AF-On button on the a6700. The dedicated C3 button has also been removed from the a6700.
Full-time DMF
Full-time DMF is only available on the a6700. This works when shooting stills with AF-C or AF-S autofocus. With DMF you can rotate the lens’s focus ring to switch to manual focus mode at any time, making switching focus on the fly super easy and fast.
Focus Bracketing
Focus bracketing is only available on the a6700, not the a6600. With focus bracketing the a6700 can automatically shoot up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points according to intervals and a sequence specified by you. This allows you to pick the perfect shot, or post-process multiple shots to achieve incredible depth of focus. There is no option to automatically combine images in-camera unfortunately, this needs to be done in post.
This video from Mark Galer explains more about how focus bracketing works with the a7RV, but it’s pretty much the same for the a6700.
Flicker Suppression
The a6700 provides options for flicker suppression from artificial lighting whether you’re shooting stills or movies. Simply select “Anti-flicker Shoot”, or use “Var. Shutter” to fine-tune shutter speeds to match flicker rates when filming. These options are not available on the a6600.
Memory Cards
The a6600 features a single memory card slot that supports Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo, Memory Stick Micro (M2), SD memory card, SDHC memory card (UHS-I compliant), SDXC memory card (UHS-I compliant), microSD memory card, microSDHC memory card, and microSDXC memory cards (with an adapter).
The a6700 also features a single memory card slot but this supports the much faster UHS-II SD cards as well as UHS-I cards The slot location has also moved to the side of the camera, on the a6600 it was on the bottom next to the battery.
Load / Save Settings (CAMSET)
For this first time in the a6xxx Series you can now save/load camera settings to/from a memory card. You can save up to 10 settings per memory card. You can also load settings from another camera of the same model.
The a6600 offers a more basic option that allows you to save up to 4 (M1 through M4) to a memory card, then recall the settings using the mode dial.
Battery & USB Charging
Both cameras use the large capacity Sony NP-FZ100 rechargeable battery.
Shooting stills the a6600 achieves approx. 720 shots (Viewfinder) and approx. 810 shots (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard) with a full battery. Shooting movies (actual) will get you approx. 140 min (Viewfinder) or approx. 150 min (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard).
The a6700 can achieve approx. 550 shots (Viewfinder) and approx. 570 shots (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard). Shooting movies (actual) will get you approx. 95 min (Viewfinder) or approx. 100 min (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard).
So it appears that the new sensor and processors in the a6700 are a little more thirsty on the battery than the a6600.
The a6700 also supports USB PD (Power Delivery) for fast in-camera battery charging, this supplies 3 to 4 times more power than previous models. A USB charger or mobile battery that supports USB PD can be connected to the camera’s USB Type-C port so you can shoot for longer.
Live Streaming / Webcam
The Sony a6600 does not support live streaming in-camera but it can be used as a webcam when using Sony’s Imaging Edge Webcam software, the resolution is however limited to 1,024 × 576 pixels.
With the a6700 you just need to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone via USB, then select “Live Stream (USB Streaming)”.
The a6700 can also function as a 4K (2160p) webcam with advanced AF that makes online meetings and live streaming events even smoother.
Connectivity
The a6600 supports 2.4 Ghz wireless connections and bluetooth. There’s a Multi/Micro Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) terminal and a HDMI micro connector. There’s also a 3.5 mm Stereo minijack for a microphone and a 3.5mm stereo minijack for headphones.
The Sony a6600 can be controlled remotely using Sony’s Imaging Edge Mobile App but functionality is limited.
The a6700 supports Sony’s newer Creators App for remote control and file management.
The Sony RMT-P1BT Bluetooth Remote (B&H Photo | Amazon) is also supported by both cameras.
The a6600 has the older style multi interface shoe whereas the a6700 gets the new Multi Interface (MI) Shoe that enables cable-less connection, directly transferring the digital audio signal for high-quality sound without degradation, while also supplying power and eliminating concerns about mic batteries.
The a6700 supports 2.4 Ghz / 5 Ghz wireless connections and bluetooth. However, whereas the a6600 supports USB 2.0 (480 Mb/s), the a6700 supports SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2) for even faster data transfer.
The a6700 also has a 3.5 mm Stereo minijack for a microphone and a 3.5mm stereo minijack for headphones just like the a6600, along with the HDMI micro connector.
Firmware Updates
If you need to update the firmware of the a6600 then you have to connect the camera to your computer via USB. For Mac OS users this is a nightmare as it triggers security flags and can be very difficult to install. For Windows users life is a little easier.
Thankfully the a6700 follows in the footsteps of the a7IV and a7RV by allowing firmware updates via memory card.
What’s in the Box
The box contents of each camera are very similar except the a6700 box no longer includes the AC-UUD12 AC Adaptor or a Micro USB cable.

Price
Despite many price rises due to inflation and other factors over the 4 years since the a6600 was released, the a6700 has the same launch price MRRP as the a6600 in the US. Unfortunately it’s £200 more expensive in the UK.
However, the a6600 is currently on offer (our deals page)for $998.00 and I expect this will become the new MRRP price unless Sony discontinues it.
The A6600 has an MRRP of: $1,398.00 / £1,249.00
The A6700 has an MRRP of: $1,398.00 / £1,449.00
Conclusion
The a6700 offers many video focused benefits such as 4K60p and an excellent vari-angle LCD. Superior autofocus performance and subject tracking will also help you to capture more difficult subjects. On the other hand, the a6600 still provides excellent value when it’s on discount, but it may soon be discontinued.
Here are the key features from the A6700 that you won’t find on the A6600:
- 26 MP back-illuminated sensor
- BIONZ XR processor
- 4k60p / 4k120p
- S&Q 240 FPS in FHD
- Active Mode enhanced movie image stabilization
- UHS-II SD card support
- Front dial
- USB 3.2 with Power Delivery
- 3 Memory Recalls + CAMSET
- Lossless RAW & HEIF file formats
- 14-bit RAW when shooting long exposure noise reduction and bulb
- 1/8000sec shutter speed (electronic)
- Anti-flicker shooting and variable shutter
- Import User LUT files
- 759 PDAF points
- Real-time tracking of animals, birds, insects, cars/trains, and airplanes
- In-camera time-lapse creation
- Auto framing
- Focus breathing
- Focus bracketing
- Focus map (movies)
- AF Assist
- Full-time DMF
- Touch shutter
- Bulb timer settings
- Firmware updates via memory card
That really is quite a nice list of improvements over the a6600, but is there enough here to convince the a6600 shooters out there to upgrade? Please let me know in the comments below! 🙂
I was personally hoping to see a few more advanced features like a stacked sensor from the a9, higher resolution EVF and LCD, an improved drive speed and image buffer, and some form of pre-shooting capability that is available in cameras from other manufacturers like the Canon R7.
Hopefully Sony will pack these features into an Alpha a7000 at some point, or perhaps they would prefer you to spend more money on their full-frame bodies?
Please let me know in the comments below if you found this comparison helpful or if you have any questions.

Thanks for the very detailed and useful comparison. Perhaps it would make sense to mention that a6600 allows to save and load settings from/to the memory card: they are considered as four extra settings and, with some trickery, it de facto allows to save/load (and thus share) the two in-camera settings. Not as easy as CAMSET, but doable.

Glad that you found it useful Fabrizio. You are right about the option to save some settings to a memory card with the a6600, I’ll update the article to mention this. Thanks for bringing it up!
