The A6700 gets AI features and other tweaks.

That’s what the new A6700 is bringing downmarket. Additionally, Sony changed the LCD to a vari-angle-style touchscreen. While that’s a solid enhancement for videographers, it may make this camera less desirable for some still photographers, as the vari-angle screen, for all its charms, can add extra steps when you just want to pop the LCD up for a quick shot from the hip.

That said, the new screen has a 33-degree wider viewing angle than the A6600 and an OLED screen Sony says is twice as bright, so it may be worth the tradeoff if you’re the outdoorsy type. Physically, the A6700 has some much-needed upgrades, especially on the connectivity front. It’s finally got a USB-C port, which supports USB-PD fast-charging and 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds. It also gets a new customizable front dial and compatibility with Sony’s Creators’ App for cloud uploads.
