SpecificationSony α7 VSony α6700 (ILCE-6700)
Release year20252023
Model codeILCE-7M5 (body only) Sony—
Sensor35 mm full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS; 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for video; 35.7 MP total

The partially stacked design speeds up sensor readout, reducing the skew (rolling shutter) the electronic shutter causes with fast-moving subjects.

Sony		APS-C (23.3 × 15.5 mm) Exmor R CMOS; approx. 26.0 MP effective (27.0 MP total)

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor: the circuitry sits behind the light-gathering surface, so more light reaches the pixels. Video uses up to about 19.9 MP of the sensor.

Image stabilisation5-axis sensor shift; 7.5 stops at centre, 6.5 stops at the edge

Measured to CIPA 2024 with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; results may differ with other lenses.

Sony		Sensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 5.0 stops (CIPA)

The 5-stop figure is pitch/yaw correction measured by Sony to the CIPA standard with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; it varies by lens and focal length. In video, Active mode crops the image slightly for stronger stabilisation.

Sony
Autofocus759-point phase detection; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and airplane recognition; down to EV-4 SonyFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 495 for movies; AI recognition of humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes; EV -3 to 20

Hybrid AF combines phase detection with contrast detection. The recognition function finds and tracks the selected subject type in the frame; the user chooses the subject type manually.

Sony
Continuous shooting30 fps electronic shutter, 10 fps mechanical; blackout-free with full AF/AE tracking in electronic mode Sony—
Pre-CaptureRecords frames from up to one second before the shutter is fully pressed

Helps catch hard-to-predict moments such as a bird taking off.

Monitor3.2-type TFT touchscreen, 2,095,104 dots; 4-axis articulation (98° up, 40° down, 180° sideways, 270° rotation when open)

The screen can both swing out to face forward and tilt up or down on the body axis, so it works for both video and low-angle stills.

VideoUp to 4K 119.88p; full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K (no pixel binning); 8-bit 4:2:0 and 10-bit 4:2:2; XAVC S, XAVC HS, XAVC S-I; S-Log3

Oversampling builds each 4K frame from more pixel data for extra detail.

Sony		4K up to 119.88p in 10-bit 4:2:2 (XAVC S/HS 280 Mbps); XAVC S-I 4K 59.94p at 600 Mbps; Full HD 119.88p; 4-channel 24-bit audio

10-bit 4:2:2 recording keeps more tonal information for colour grading. XAVC S-I compresses each frame separately for easier editing, but files are very large. Four-channel audio requires a compatible Multi Interface Shoe microphone.

Sony
Bit rateXAVC S-I 4K up to 600 Mbit/s (10-bit 4:2:2, 59.94p), XAVC HS 4K up to 280 Mbit/s

High bit-rate recording needs a card fast enough for the chosen format.

Sony		—
Recording timeAbout 90 minutes of continuous 4K 60p 4:2:0 8-bit recording

The duration depends on ambient temperature and settings.

USB2 × USB-C: port 1 10 Gbit/s (USB 3.2), port 2 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0); both support USB PD

The battery can charge and the camera can run from either port; Sony says PD power capacity is 3–4 times that of the α7 IV.

Shutter and burst—Mechanical 1/4000–30 s, electronic 1/8000–30 s; flash sync 1/160 s; Hi+ 11 fps; buffer 59 RAW, 143 JPEG Extra Fine frames

The buffer figure is the approximate number of frames the camera can shoot in a row before waiting to write to the card.

Sony
Screen—3.0-inch touch TFT; 1,036,800 dots; side-opening vari-angle (176° opening, 270° rotation)

The side-opening screen can be turned to face forward so the user can see themselves when shooting selfies and vlogs.

Sony
Card slot—Single SD slot; UHS-I and UHS-II

A UHS-II card helps with high-bitrate video and clears the buffer faster after long bursts. There is no second slot for backup recording.

Sony
Connections—USB-C 5 Gbps (USB 3.2); micro HDMI (Type D, 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit output); 3.5 mm microphone and headphone; Multi Interface Shoe with digital audio interface

Over USB-C the camera can draw power and charge its battery with USB Power Delivery; it can also connect to a computer as a webcam over USB.
