Sony A6700

I wanted to use my new Sony DSLR (a6700) in the same way as I use my server: by ssh'ing into it. This is a one day hackaway helper built on Sony’s official Camera Remote SDK. It sort of mimics an ssh session by connecting to my Sony over Wi-Fi, listens for new photos or specific events... [...]

I just started looking at photos and videos we took on vacation. [...] And when I use the Photos app on my Apple TV to review a couple videos I took, I'm surprised at the weird, wavy quality I'm seeing in them. [...] I will compare this to the videos I took with my Sony a6700. But until then, I'm surprised at how odd the videos looked on a large OLED TV. [...] I have no shortage of friends who asked me why I bothered to buy a real camera, but if you're a hobbyist photographer, it's nice to use a real camera and have full control. [...] But there's something about the real photos (with real Bokeh) that still look much better to me.

[...] - GPS doesn't count, although 'corrections' can be interesting. - IDK you can totally do a workflow with a Sony camera to send to a phone/etc, may not be full-auto but I've done it. - As a 'shooter' I'd rather get proper SD card redundancy on less-high end models than see a flash buffer for that isn't already present in how things work - My a6000 had decent wifi speeds at the start, but it's hard to keep up with standards, also it's hard to get around the 'noise' of other wifi devices without making the camera larger or complicating the design for the sake of a wifi antenna. [...] Aside from my a6700 (and before that my a6000) I keep one 'main' camera as well as one or more 'cheap bodies' (i.e. store floor models or previous camera). [...]

[...] The defining characteristic of SLR and DSLR cameras is the reflex mechanism, which is a giant mechanism inside the camera that sits in front of the film or sensor. [...] And the whole thing needs to physically flip out of the way when you press the shutter button to expose the film. But as a result, SLR / DSLR cameras are usually way bigger physically to make room for the mirror and the reflex mechanism. Mirrorless cameras like the A6700 don't have this reflex mechanism, so they're not DSLR cameras. They're called mirrorless cameras. Same as the cameras in our phones.

All modern cameras are pretty awesome! I’ve been using a Sony A6700 for a couple years and had good luck with it but finally decided to move to something new after I retired and have a lot more time to spend on photography.

Hey birders and photographers: I’ve been using the Nikon P950 for the past 3 years for birding in Michigan and am ready for an upgrade. The Nikon Z50 II and Sony A6700 appear to be two of the best options available in my price range. [...]

[...] I guess they figure FTP uploads are mostly used for professional sports photography, and they don't think people will buy the a6700 for that. (Or they don't want people buying the a6700 for that sort of professional use.) Nice work in any case. My cameras have FTP, but using sony's remote protocol seems like a lot more fun. [...]

Funny you ask, since the a6700 doesn't have ftp support and it mainly was the reason I started this app in the first place. Also, wiring into the command structure with little shell callbacks offers me a LOT more flexibility than initially thought.

Stepping up my photography game, just ordered a Sony A7rVI to use with my Sony 200-600mm that I bought last month. I've been using the lens up until now with my Sony A6700 and while I think it's a great setup, I'm really looking forward to pre-capture on the A7rVI.

I am no expert and do mostly stills, but aren’t a Sony A6700 in this ball park? Or maybe it’s not good enough for video? Been using my new A6700 over the summer and I am very impress with the quality 😃
