A6700 Camera Review: https://youtu.be/sZ5LlobJ7ro

Many users considering owning the A6700 camera will want to know how this camera stacks up against a full frame camera, or the older A6000 series cameras (primarily due to the new Exmor R sensor this camera uses).
The best way of knowing if this cropped sensor camera has enough performance quality for you, would be to review the Raw files in Adobe Lightroom. I rarely share my .ARW Raw files as the DNG format protects my copyright.

The files I am making available are Adobe DNG files, and they should appear in their edited state after importing them into Lightroom, so if you want to see them unedited you will need to hit the 'Reset' button in Lightroom. If you want to see the the edits again you can hit undo or save a snapshot of the edited state. I have only spent a minute or two editing each image and I have selected files to share that have a minimal amount of cropping in post (most of the time).

You will find files captured at high ISO (very high ISO for a cropped sensor camera). Take a look at the files DSC07504.dng and DSC07505.dng captured at ISO 2,500 and ISO 1,250 to see how much detail the new Exmor R sensor can deliver in an APS-C camera.

Take a look at this file I have cropped tightly: DSC04557.dng and DSC04557-Enhanced-NR.dng where I have applied the DeNoise option in Adobe Lightroom. The ISO for this one was ISO 1,250, but the tight crop makes the noise look more noticeable prior to applying Adobe's Enhance > DeNoise feature. I believe the gap between Full frame and APS-C high ISO performance can be narrowed by using modern DeNoise options.

I have included shots of Insects with the new full-frame Macro zoom to show how the combination of AI Insect Subject detection and a fast focusing Macro zoom lens opens up new possibilities for many photographers (300mm Macro prior to attaching a teleconverter).

You will also find a few examples where I have attached a 1.4x teleconverter to this lens to take the zoom to 280mm (this is a full-frame equivalent angle of view of  392mm). See the Raw file DSC04568.dng for a close-up Macro + DSC04625.dng and DSC04704.dng for mid-distance shots using the Teleconverter.

I have also included three birds-in-flight shots for those who are wondering if this camera is up to the task: DSC04791.dng, DSC04837.dng and DSC04963.dng

I would still recommend the slightly smaller, lighter and cheaper E 70-350 G APS-C lens for APS-C photographers wanting a little more reach without the hassle of attaching teleconverters. I have also included one raw image captured with the E 18-135 which is lightweight 7.5x APS-C travel zoom (DSC00122.dng)

You will also find examples captured using the FE 85mm F1.8 which gives a similar look (shallow depth of field and bokeh) to using a 135mm F2.8 prime lens on a full frame camera. If you are currently a Sony full frame photographer looking for a second body I would also consider using the FE 35mm f1.8 and/or the FE 55mm F1.8 ZA on this cropped sensor camera if you are looking for excellent figure/ground separation when using an APS-C sensor. Another option would be the Sigma 56mm F1.4 if you don't intend to own a full frame camera.

Most of the other images I am sharing were captured with the E 16-55 F2.8 G, which is Sony's premium Standard Zoom. You will see this delivers ultra-sharp images across its zoom range which is equivalent of a 24-82.5mm zoom.
