The new Sony a6700 looks like a very well-rounded package in terms of specs, price, and features for an APS-C camera. Despite the similarities of the sensor/processor to the Sony FX30, a model we already added to the lab database, we thought it worthwhile to have a more extensive look within the lab environment, including the latitude tests, which could be interesting for many readers. So let’s get going with the Sony a6700 Lab Test … Please have a look at the article from my colleague Florian Milz here, where he takes an in-depth look at the new Sony a6700. For this lab test, again it was a nice collaboration with Florian as he contributed the rolling shutter and dynamic range measurements and helped to shoot the latitude tests – thank you!

For 4K 25p, we get the following result: Rolling shutter of the Sony a6700 for 4K 25p: 15.9ms 15.9ms (less is better) in 4K 25p is a good but average result for an APS-C sensor. The FUJIFILM X-H2S, for example, has a rolling shutter of 9.7ms. The best APS-C camera we have measured so far is the ARRI ALEXA 35 with 5.7ms....
