1. Fast Autofocus

“Fast autofocus is a must. When your subject is jumping around on stage, your camera needs to be able to keep up and stay sharp. The autofocus on the Sony Alpha 6700 has eye detection capabilities which allow the camera to lock the focus on your subject and follow them as they move. If you’re filming video, there’s even an AI-powered auto-framing setting that helps keep your subject in frame.

2. Low Light Performance

“Your camera needs to be able to perform well in low light. Concert lighting can be so unpredictable, but the Sony Alpha 6700 is able to deliver sharp, crispy images even at high ISOs. So no matter the lighting situation, you’re prepared to handle it all with this camera.”

3. Compact + Lightweight

“The Sony Alpha 6700 is an APS-C camera, so it’s so small and light and ergonomically designed to flow while you shoot. It is so easy to learn manual settings on this camera. The two command dials for shutter speed and aperture are designed to sit right under your fingers as you hold the camera with the ISO button right underneath for easy adjustments.”

4. Future-Proof

“When buying your first camera, making sure that you’re future-proof is so important, whether you’re a hobbyist or trying to go pro. The 16-56mm kit lens is a great range to start out on, but with the universal Sony E-mount, this camera is compatible with over 70 lenses in the future if you want to upgrade.”
