You'd better put a link for R8 as well. 😁
you compared the sonys 1:1 in portrait shot... no difference. but were is the 1:1 canon vs 6700?????
Tony mentions that the a6600 does not have a flip screen and he could not see himself when doing a selfie. That A6600 actually does have a screen that can be flipped to face forward. Just grab the screen from the bottom, pull it toward you and then swivel it up. It is now positioned (mostly) above the camera and facing forward.
Yes, but what if you use a top-mounted microphone (like most) or any other accessory ? That's why Tony's point is relevant : not a tilting (and unobstructed) screen.
Honestly think we should see a comparison to the XS-20 because this is a fair bit more expensive yet seems to be comparative in most aspects.
Maybe I missed it in the video, but isn't the Fujifilm X-S20 an obvious comparison?
That's what I was thinking!
They probably don’t have access to the X-S20, they probably had to record with what they had to meet the embargo
Def a great comparison point. I’m sure there will be lots of those comparisons soon.
I mean, the Fuji XH2s, XH2, and XT5 are arguably all better APS-C cameras than any of these, but are a little more expensive. I’d think the X-S20 would make sense for sure. This channel has a pretty well-documented anti-Fuji bias. A lot of what is reported about GFX is just inaccurate and Tony seems to be hyper-critical of Fuji’s X autofocus, which I think is only somewhat fair right now. Fuji autofocus has improved a lot…
Sony forbid them to do it...
Why would someone choose the APS-C over the FF. The answer is simple because I just made that choice. I'm travelling Asia and the weight of the camera system is a big deal. I'm on the A6400 + Sony 11mm F1.8 + Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 + Sony 85mm F1.8 = 1.25kG total. It's not the weight of the body thats the issue, its the weight of those FF lenses. I sold my FF A7RIII and FF lenses in order to 'downgrade' to the lighter system. The lighter weight is just so much nicer to travel with.
Thanks for the review. Surprised that Fuji X-S20 is nowhere in sight though
Nice comprehensive review and comparisons!
Really the best camera reviews… data driven and personal preference are disclosed and explained.
You guys do good stuff! I have been following for years. Glad to see you in good health and the videos are better than eer...
As always, you are amazing! Straight to the point.
Great video guys, thanks for the comparison. I have the 6600 and in general I'm super happy with the photography side but I'm thinking moving to the 6700 for the video improvements.
I can only say, do it!😀
An eye opener guys, great review ❤❤
Thanks for the review Tony, I think you have missed a few things, I have a A6600 and it's and all round camera for me, landscape, astro and wildlife, occasional portraits and ocourse video. It would have been good if you added in that this camera is an all-rounder and included sensor performance for low light in stills, also improvements and performance in low light, and stabilisation for video with a long lens. I have invested in Sony and third party lenses so it's an easy choice for me, I'll upgrade to the A6700 when I get a good deal.
What lens do you use for wildlife? 70-350?
@igordmitriev7211 that's it, it's a great lens light and sharp photos. I might also get the Sony 200 to 600 for more reach or the Tamron or Sigma equivalent
How do you count sharps and unsharps in the running test ? I have tested the A6700 with the 2.8 70 200 GM2. On static subjects, the pics are sharp up to 170% magnification. On runners coming towards the camera, bright sunlight, 1/2500 s and faster, about 3% are fully sharp, most are sharp up to 100%. I would count only 3% sharp, to be compared to your 83%.
I think you guys have reviewed both cameras, the Sony a6700 and the Lumix S5ii. Which one for product photography?
The A6600 has more Custom Button options, they have removed the switch button from the 6700's back that I specifically use, and overall I had the impression of intentionally downplaying the a6600 just to promote the newer version. I have NEVER experienced ANY autofocus issues with the A6600 and have no intention of upgrading for what I can tell from the review. Yes, I'd love to have the better LCD and the USB-C and the memory slot inside vs under, but I would miss my Custom Button settings I already have on the A6600. The A6700 is a great camera obviously, but for me, it's not worth the upgrade.
Would you recommend 6700 / R7 / Nikon z6 ii for sports photography?
Great review! I am excited for you to review the Sony A7C II and see how it compares. :)
I got back in to photography about a year ago and would have considered canon. However, their choice to kill support for 3rd party lenses totally turned me off them all together, regardless of how good they might be. I picked up an a6400 instead and plan to pick up a full frame sony at some point down the line.
Me too
I'm looking to upgrading from my a6400 to the a6700 love this video
Thank you for the comparison. I am currently owe a Sony A6000 and have some lense, but I really want to upgrade. I was debating between the Sony A7C ii or A6700 ? Also noticed the full frame Lenes are so much more expensive. I only use my cameras for family and one in a blue a gig or two. Is the low light a big difference between both? Thanks
Appreciate you guys for comparing A6600 vs A6700.
Thanks. About stabilization, I get your point of evaluating a % below the reciprical rule. However, it would have been interresting to to the same without stabilisation at all. And when you'll evaluate the XS20, please try youy best to check that with close experimental settings.
19:25 honest question: what are the unique, specialty or niche, or generally just super high quality lenses for APS-C E-mount?
Canon R7! just bought one, thanks for your share. What kind of filter will be better? Kase or Nisi?
This is the best Sony camera promotion channel on KZhead! Kudos!
Great review as always. Is Sigma not producing 2 APSC lenses for Canon RF mount soon?
There was a rumor about that but nothing solid yet. I hope so!
One card slot is a dealbreaker and is the best reason for me to go with a competitor.
What cameras have you seen in this price range offering two memory card slots?
@@wreiadCanon r7
@@wreiad I was expecting it to cost $100 more and have dual slots. Z5, used X-T4.
@@wreiad X-T5 and X-H2...
The af looks pretty impressive, the stabilization looks good, the no crop 4k 60 is a big plus, the auto framing option is pretty interesting, and the screen being able to flip to the side and rotate forward is very nice. I do more photography than video, so i probably will wait on the upgrade but if you do a lot of video i think there is actually some big improvements here. (This is coming from an a6400 user)
Why not upgrade to a7r4
@zegzbrutal one is 2x the price of the other, my lenses are mainly aps-c, and I prefer a smaller body and leses. Full frame isn't really an upgrade for everyone, just as medium format isn't always an upgrade to full frame.
@@jared3622 depends where you are, but a7r4 dropped a lot from MSRP, some places is even cheaper than FX30. And if you don't mind used, good~mint condition a7r4/a7r4a is a better buy over a6700. Getting it and use its crop mode only is no loss. The much better EVF, control layout and dual SD slots are worth it.
All 4K modes in A6700 have crop (its oversampled from 6K, but sensor has 6.2K) Its ends up 1.6x crop, same as Canon. Its minimal, but its there.
Hey @Tonyandchelsea, thanks for the video, great comparisson. Would it be possible to perform a similar video comparing X-S20 with A6700 ? Thanks and keep it up with the good work :)
Tony, I bought Sony 6700 in October 2023, but returned it due to overheating problem even though I was only shooting photography.. I'm surprised you never mentioned the overheating problem of this new Sony 6700?
Sir can you make a comparison between Sony a6700 & Fujifilm XS20...
15:53 The A6600 does have a flip-out screen
Love ur videos I have a sony a6500 and I want to upgrade was looking at the a6700 or upgrade to the likes of a A7 3 second hand round the same price
Important to remember that that choosing full frame over APS-C also means lenses are much larger, heavier and more expensive. For those who want to travel light, think less about the bodies and more about the glass.
Exactly. The reason why I went with APS-C 10 years ago and not going to switch to the full format.
actually an apsc equivalent lens to a full frame is about the same size and weight, if you take into consideration the aperture to get the same depth of field.
@@truthseeker6804 I am not so sure about that. But regardless, the NEX-sized bodies are gone and are likely not coming back, which is sad.
@@truthseeker6804 Yes, but I'd happily take an f-stop of low DOF away for the portability and cost reduction of lenses for travel. Not so much for portraiture, but most travel/street/journalism photography is fine with a bit more in focus. I think there's a place for APS-C and it's not a valid argument to suggest that when prices of APS-C and full frame bodies are similar that full frame is a logical "winner".
@@InstructorWest when the prices are similar, the apsc has to have many specs advantages that would overcome the full frame, then i would say the apsc is worth it for specific usecase. but if the specs difference isnt much, then the full frame is the clear winner. this a6700 is a good camera, my issue with this camera, its slightly overpriced. it shouldve been at $1100 and sony should release a better apsc camera to compete with the canon r7, a camera that can be used professionally, dual SD, more megapixel, faster fps. but this a6700 is good for video, but overheats fast tho. its got too many downsides. if you rarely do 4k120p the canon r7 and r8 are much better cameras for similar price.
Thank you for this test, especially the running section. It's very useful.
I always love your extra effort for testing.
Are cages from Sony a6400/6600 compatible with Sony a6700?
As an a6500 owner and hobbyist, the a6700 would be a nice upgrade. Thanks for the video.
Agreed. I have been waiting for something like this with all the performance upgrades with a newer sensor.
More like side grade. You upgrade to full frame from apsc. Not another apsc.
@@truthseeker6804 /facepalm
Just another APSC camera with limited improvement. I sort of expect a bit more from Sony on this model like faster frame rate more than just 1 more frame per sec. Seriously my old A7R4 can also shoot in APSC mode with 26mp.
How is the high iso performance in stills with the a6700?
I’m not that unique and would buy the APS-C camera for it’s smaller size and weight for travel when I leave my full frame setup at home. For me the large array of small lenses available for Sony E mount is a clear win. I actually own both a Canon EOS R5 and Sony A1 and for the Canon R5 I don’t have a single RF L lens that is nice and small for light travel. With Sony there are many including the full array of Sigma I-Series from 17mm to 90mm that work both on FF and APS-C. Thank you for your review.
Just got mine. Coming from an a6500 that I’ve had for 5 years, the a6700 is a giant upgrade for me.
Could I not just use the Canon full frame lenses for the R7?
I have the R7 and am debating between the R6 MKII or the R8 for the full frame upgrade. As for RF glass, I love the RF 18-150 even though it is no0t an L glass lens. I also love the RF 100-400, even though it is not an APS-C lens. The RF600 F11 works very good if the lighting is decent. Plus I have a bunch of EF glass including the EF 300 F2.8 (v1) lens.
on rolling shutter, can you elaborate on what you were measuring? DPreview & Gerald Undone got closer to 16 ms, though said it varies depending on mode.
I’ve really enjoyed my a6600 for hiking, travel (International & motorcycle) and landscape photography. Having a light weight kit and compact kit is important to me. After using the a6000, the a6600 was such an improvement. I appreciate the review of many of the improvements to a6700. But am wondering about the weight, so I will look that up as it is a big advantage for what I do. Thanks for the review!!
Interestingly enough the A6700 is slightly lighter than the A6600 but maybe a tad larger.
@@johnnorton5760 Ooooo good to know. I'll have to find a store with it and handle it a bit. Also Arthur R has a great review of it.
Another vlogger showed that the a6700 at 506 g is 9 g (0.3 oz) lighter than the a6600 - body only.
@@panhandlejake6200 Thanks so much!
sony 6700 lost two important modes for travel photo: HDR photo and MFNR (Multi Frame Noise Reduction). Also a6600 better at low light condition than a6700. So a6600 is better for photo and amateur video.
The real competition appeared at the end, when Tony lifted the R8
Which lens were you using on the a6700 for the run test?
Can I connect an external monitor via HDMI, and not lose face tracking autofocus?
So great review
Question: Does the Sony a6700 have a Dedicated AF button on the back for "Back Button Focus"?
All you need for the Canon R7 is EF-RF adaptor and you can use the vast array of EF lenses , Canon and others that are available. I have done that on my R7
so far, that is the compelling reason for me to stay w/ Canon.
Autofocus works as well as native with that adaptor?
Tony, How about used A9 + TC 1.4x for wildlife vs A6700? i Have mine for 1500 US with just 100k shutter count.
Brilliant!!! absolutely brilliant solution.
16:07 the a6600 should be able to have the screen flip up, for selfie shooting/video.
You're right, my mistake. I never really considered the flip-up screen to be usable because it's hidden behind the mic in the hot shoe.
How is the EVF blackout and lag - is there any improvement there, presumably it is still barely usable for tracking fast action ? It's hard to believe Sony still haven't produced a stacked-sensor version or at least been able to match the Canon non-stacked sensor readout speeds.
please do a comparison to the XS-20
I would like to see some running/sports focusing test inside where the lights are dim. Testing in older gymnasiums, basketball courts and hockey rinks. Focusing speed outside was always pretty fast at least for me. How close are you shooting for the eye, headshots? A crop sensor doesn't change anything on full frame glass not even depth of field. A F2.8 400mm will have the same depth of field and characteristics except it is cropped. APS-C 20 megapixel has about the same pixel density as a full frame 45 megapixel. This was not the case with the older 20 megapixel full frame.
For the best quality images, I shoot full frame. But, when I want a smaller lighter system and don't need the highest resolution, I use my a6600. I thought about buying the a6700, but I really don't need the improved video capability. So, I bought a second a6600 for about half the price of the a6700. On my next travel vacation, I'll take the two a6600 cameras and a couple lenses.
Re R7 lens choice: you can always adapt EFs and EF lenses. Instantly, you have a huge choice.
You can tell when these 2 try too hard to punt a specific product. It's clear they're trying to push the 6700 here. I hate when reviewers do this
I got the A6600 last year for the longer video recording and in 4K as my Nex 7 cuts out because of over heating before the time limit on recording. The A6700 is going to be better but at the cost of a larger camera and I already find the A6600 too heavy and bulky.
Ok the lens dealio I'll figure that out, my next question, FLASH compatibility? I have a 580ex2 that appears from what I've read will work easily with the R7, what options are there for the Sony??
Trying to find which lens you used at Rocky Neck State Park, can't find it. The big one.
As a Canon 90D shooter, would love to see how well some of the Canon ef-s lenses perform on the R7 (with an adapter of course). The 90D has a lot of focus issues, attributed to the sensor size and MP. Had been wondering if the mirrorless APS-C Canon would have a similar issue, but seems not - that's good to know.
Usually - the EF(S) lenses perform wayyyy better on the mirrorlens cams conpared to the good old DSLr‘s
@@irciiskylp9975 fantastic to know, thanks!
Had R7. Sold it because AF.
@@gfxmaniac that's not good to hear 😒
@@Berry_N I was early adopter of Canon R7. Here is list of the things I didn't like about R7. - shutter shock -AF hunting even with RF 100-400, sometimes you had to peek AF in EVF, cause I got AF confirmation it is locked on subject, but I had to pump that AF-ON button to see it is focused (this was biggest drawback of this camera), this problem is not that big of a deal if subject if filling the frame or contrast is good -32mpix sensor is just too much for normal user, details got crushed in shadows which was critical for my work (I shoot in woods) so sometimes I feel FF would be better solution but FF is not ideal for wildlife on budget and reach Still think ergonomics of R7 are great, battery life is great too. Dual card slots, button customizations, EVF, screen great. It was tough decision to part with it but I just might buy A6700, still have A6100 which has great sensor much better for shadow recovery than R7 and more details in general since 24mpix doesn't resolve lens flaws.
Sony a6700 with Sony 70-350 for wildlife, Sigma 18-50 f2.8 for everyday and street, Sigma 56mm 1.4 for portraits. you cant beat this with any system based on weight to performance ratio.
@TonyAndChelsea : or A Photography Enthusiast and New Camera Buyer point of view detailed comparison between Fuji XS20 and Sony 6700 or Canon R7 would be appreciable.
5:10 Chelsea you said “I also thought my viewfinder was a little clear“, please provide more info. Thanks for the great videos.
I have the full frame Sony A7R IV and I'm seriously considering buying g the A6700 as a second body. Reasons: 1- I can use my existing quality full frame glass, unlike Nikon or Canon. 2- The smaller body is ideal for Street Photography and Travel. I do a lot of event photography, so having these two cameras with me and the A6700 sporting a 16-35mm lens (full frame equivalent of 24-50mm) will be an ideal set up.
Sigma 16-35mm and 50-100mm f/1.8.
You can use Nikon FX glass on a DX body. The 24-70F4S is great on the Z50/Zfc/Z30. Not only that but with the ETZ21 you can mount ANY Sony lens to the Z-mount. I've used the 15mmf1.4G on my Z50 too. I'm getting an a6700 for my f2.8 Tamron zooms. Nikon's Expeed7/8 will narrow the gap. HUGE shout out to Sony for how much better the color looks compared to the others in this video!
How is it's low light performance comapred to full frame for pictures? also to the stacked sensor from the XT5 (which is from sony) Also it comes at the same price to an A7C. Weight and form factor are the same by now. My current apsc lineup is sigma 16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4, Sony 18-105. and I shoot 98 percent of my photos of with the Sigma 30. those are 405g, 265g, 427g = 1,096g possible replacements: samyang 24 1.8 230g, sony zeiss 55 1.8 281g, sony 24-105 663g = 1,174g Price is almost no factor as well anymore, Samyang has a ton of affordable lenses, Viltrox to
I thought I didn't care about 2 memory slots, until I got my fx30 and now I am always less stressed and that is worth a lot. So at the end a6700 would be a great photo go to with video B cam for my fx30
yeah! its nice that you can mess up 1 time without dying a horrible death. can you shoot to card and external over hdmo at the same time?
What about Fuji xt5 or xs20 which photogs are curious knowing?
Would you prefer a canon R8 or a a6700 ? I would love to know what you think since they are similarly priced❤
Sony mirrorless cameras use E-mount lenses, they will fit on both full frame and APSC so you have a much larger native lens pool.
Does the a6700 have the option for a vertical grip? I find the vertical grip very handy when using my 200-600 on my a7 iii
Picked up a Sony a6400 on sale for $800, this will be my hybrid until i move to full frame or maybe Fuji XH2
Is it a slideshow at 11 fps like the a6600?
Thinking seriously about picking up the a6700 as a second camera since I'm already invested in the Sony ecosystem. But, will never ever use it as my primary go to camera having had multiple card failures in the past, the first of which wiped out a super important shoot prior going to the A7R3.
My a6700 should arrive Aug 15. Can't wait. It is mostly for the ai auto focus that I wanted to upgrade. That should cut out missed focus most of the time. Second for me is better low light performance due to the BSI. I will appreciate the new adjustment wheel in front of the shutter button. For me the "fully articulating" LCD screen is a downgrade. I only ever use the tilt feature and that has been impacted by the new design. I can understand vloggers who want to see the screen facing forward. I just don't do that. Fortunately this is overall a low use feature for me. I'll live with it. I have a Panasonic bridge FZ1000 with the fully articulating screen so I'm not new to the game. I sold my 6400. The 6600 now becomes the back-up camera.
Thanks for putting up all that work. Informative video, well done.
I purchased a sony a6400 a little dissopointed can not compile timlapses in camera . It cant even crop Pics in camera . Not a big deal to some . But when you dont have alot of time to edit pics in post it is. Too bad i was past the return window. Never had this problem with panasonic. Sony seems to try to get ppl to downlaod there imaging edge desktop by leaving basic features from there cameras just going to drive ppl away . Or use othere software.
do you think or you know if CFExpress cards are more reliable? I just had a SD brick on me. Luckily I was using a two card camera (FX30) and no data was lost. but are CFEpress more robust?
We polled 23000 photographers and found card format didn't make a significant difference
I used to shoot Canon full frame, but after they stopped allowing third party lenses, I sold all my gear, switched to Sony, and I won’t be looking back.
The lens cost point breaks down when you factor in adapting all the now cheap used EF/EFS glass thats availble. Also with adapted glass you can use the adapters to get a range of effective focal lenghts with 1 lens. I use a basic canon EF to RF adapter, a speed booster and 1.4 EF teleconverter to get 4 effective focal lenghts from one lens. The plain canon adapted lens, speed boosted lens, adapted lens w the TC and the speed boosted lens with the TC.
What is a speed booster?
@TimOHea it's basically the inverse of a teleconverter.
I was able to find a voightlander 40 mm prime with an RF mount and there are plenty of Zeiss primes with EF mounts. Found 1 of each for less than 1 K. Waiting for sales. Haven’t tried on crop sensor but love on FF R8. I think there will be a lot of RF third party primes coming out
Why is no one including the X-T5/X-H2(s) in their APS-C comparisons with the A6700 ? Please tell me, aren't they the current pinacle for APS-C ?
Nice review. I hope canon releases some Rf apsc prime lenses pretty soon.
What about the great small RF prime lenses already available. From about 50mm onwards there is no benefit from restricting the lens to APS-C...
The only reason I carry a Sony cropped sensor camera is for travel and portability. I prefer the Full Frame factor for serious photography and actual gigs. Travel and second body uses is where the far more compact rangefinder style Sony blows Canon away. No mention here of how the Sony fits in pockets and waist packs.
You should check out the new a7C II and a7C R.
A6700 vs X-S20 ?
Wait, Canon is blocking third party lenses? My Sigma and Tamron work fine on my R6
Does it have in camera focus stacking?
Atmospheric effect of course will ruin any photos taken by any gears. The mp difference doesn't matter. But you should see the difference between 32 mp and 26 mp when subject is taken up close without the heat simmer.
Hi Tony and Chelsea I always had a canon DSLR throughout my life as an amateur. And i had used other 3rd party lenses too. Now im going to switc over to mirrorless. Was thinking of getting a canon R7 but as you mentioned in this vdo that Canon somehow is going to restrict using 3rd party lenses and canon lenses are really expensive. So what would suggest me to buy.. please help and advice Thanks Mason
Didn't the video address that?
buy the r7 and have funi ts clearly the better camera here. just get EF lenses should work well. or the specific RF lenses you need.
You can use all those Canon DSLR lenses you already have with the R7 and an adapter. They work great. As well as they ever did on you DSLR.
Both are excellent, mostly depends on your glass.
Can you please advise me on the best camera for travelling, shooting video without limits in 30min, stabilizer, excellent portrait photography and street photography? 🙏The best and compact that is on the market, not for making money but for a hobby. About the budget, I have no limits, but I don't want to overpay for something I don't need. Since one of the needs is to use the camera when travelling, I don't want the camera to be too big and heavy. When travelling I will be photographing architecture in cities, my wife, landscapes and quite a lot of video. I choose between Canon and Sony, so far the choice has stopped on Canon R6 mark2 or Sony 6700. Thank you all very much in advance
Sony a6700 and Sigma 10-18 and 18-50 f2.8 are suitable for you. I prefer for travel, wider but that's up to you.
Is there evf blackout when shooting?
@5:44 main factor reducing details resolved in R7 is its heavy AA filter
Yeah that seems to be the issue
Love you guys so much. The reviews are always excellent, both thorough and enjoyable. But I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Fuji options in this battle. The XS-20 might not quite land in the same performance bracket for autofocus, but for everything else it wipes the floor with those two, doesn’t it? Maybe that’s a bit too dramatic, but still… would be good to hear your take on Fuji when it comes to APSC battles. Thanks again for all the quality videos.
true , to me fuji is the way to go if it comes to apsc and it has open gate video also which is very important to me
Thanks for this- especially appreciated the comparison to the a6600.
How can you forget the xh2 or s variant?
No precapture on the Sony? Otherwise I think it’s a great camera.
You guys did great again but honestly I don't mind moving my autofocus points to track the animals makes me feel like I'm in more control than the camera some things that new camera does I don't like but I won't take away the fact that you guys like great review and I love listening to both of you talk about your experiences with the cameras you've educated me a lot throughout the years thank you
Depends on what you take photos of, but good luck moving the focus points of a fast flying bird ;) With the new AI autofocus, you can focus more on taking the best photo you can without having to worry about the focus points. But each to their own :)
@@F1REBEARD if only you could see majority of the pictures that I actually take with my DSLR you understand it mirrorlist and autofocus points and I'd Auto eye-tracking you'll find out that none of that means anything to me because I'm a professional photographer I didn't just start this I've been doing this since I was 14 years old as a professional photographer all the extra stuff they put in the camera as professionals won't needed
@@F1REBEARD and honestly I enjoy moving my focus points to put it on exactly two subject that I want it on even with 45 autofocus points I still managed to pull out some decent images and thank my camera shoots at 1/8 thousands of a second I guarantee you I won't be moving to mirrorless anytime soon as long as my 80D 800D 90D keep working
@@F1REBEARD I'm not having a hard time doing it I'm not hard having a hard time tracking a bird's-eye with my camera I'm still young I'm 42 I've been doing this since I was 14 you understand that I've been taking pictures since I was 14 until from film to cameras to digital cameras and I'm done it all in 42 years of my life and if you seen half the pictures I took you'll see why I don't need the new AI Focus
@@F1REBEARD my pictures still look awesome and amazing all about the cameras are some good glass you can take some amazing pictures with me, you'll get some good glass and I got some perfect glass over here for my cameras they won't even convert to a mirrorless camera
Very confusing what you said about Canon R7 and 3rd party lenses. So is EF sigman lens with adapter no longer working?
It works just fine... seems that there is a lot of Canon hate going around.
I have a R7 and my sigma 150-600 C and 17-70 OS HSM do pluse a lot. Though a firmware update via the Dock and some tweaks in the 150-690C settings and R7 sorted 95% of the issue.
@@tysonator5433 That Sigma pulses on a lot of cameras, good that you were able to get it resolved 95%...
