Sensor format decides the lenses, and the lenses outlast the body · review
Sony’s top APS-C body: 26 MP, an AI subject-recognition processor, 4K at 120p and 10-bit 4:2:2 from 6K, with in-body stabilization. Body only, sold by Amazon.com for about $1,498.
The a6700 pairs a 26 MP back-illuminated sensor with the BIONZ XR processor and a separate AI processor for subject recognition. It is the most advanced camera on this shelf.
It records 4K at 60p oversampled from 6K, in 4:2:2 10-bit, and 4K at 120p for slow motion. Sensor-shift stabilization steadies any lens you mount.
This is the body alone. Budget for a lens: Sony E mount has a very large catalog, from Sony’s own glass to Sigma, Samyang and TTArtisan.
The Canon EOS R50 costs about $650 less with a kit lens, but has no in-body stabilization listed and lighter video specifications. The Fujifilm X-M5 is lighter and offers 6.2K, but ships as an import from Amazon Germany. The a6700 is the one to choose when tracking autofocus and stabilization both matter.
Amazon.com sold and shipped it at about $1,498, body only. Sony E mount is the most widely supported mirrorless mount among third-party lens makers, which keeps the cost of a second and third lens down.
