Our Verdict
Sony α6400
Sony α6700
The Sony α6700 is better than the Sony α6400. Beyond its new and improved sensor with a new processor, it's also better built, with a weather-sealed body, and has slightly better ergonomics. While image and video quality aren't far off, the α6700 has significantly better video specs, with internal 10-bit capture and more frame rate options.
