Our Verdict

Sony α6700

Sony α7C II

The Sony α6700 and the Sony α7C II are similar cameras but use different-sized sensors. They're similar in design, size, and ergonomics, with similar autofocus systems, battery lives, and max burst rates. Both offer advanced video specs, though the α6700 has more frame rate options and less rolling shutter distortion. Ultimately, the choice will come down to whether you prefer full-frame or APS-C.
