Will Sony ever make a serious APS-C mirrorless camera for photographers?
models sensibly match their high-performance features for trigger-happy enthusiasts with designs that work in real-world use.
The EOS R7 and X-T5 are bigger than the A6700, and consequently have more room to breathe. Their viewfinders are pronounced, on a raised bump in the centre of the camera, rather than squeezed into the top-left, and Sony's and Fujifilm rivals sit better in the hand, too, with controls that are intuitively spread out. Both cameras have twin card slots and an AF joystick for making quick AF area selections. Put simply, these feel like proper photographer's tools.
The Sony A6700 is an improvement over the A6600, and introduced an additional front dial under the shutter button. However, it doesn’t have an AF joystick, it’s only got a single UHS-II card slot, and its controls are all-round fiddlier, while its ergonomics are a little awkward, especially with more serious lenses. It’s high-end spec with entry-level feel, and it doesn’t have to be like this. Sony already has the lens ecosystem to support a serious APS-C camera.
It’s time for Sony to make a more serious APS-C camera, or at the very least create an optional vertical grip for the A6700 to give more serious photographers the best of both worlds; a travel-friendly form factor that can be expanded for more serious photographic endeavors.
