Sony A6700 vs Sony A7 IV
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- EVF resolution: the A7 IV leads at 3,686,400 dots (0.5-type Quad-VGA OLED) vs the A6700's 2,359,296 dots.
- EVF magnification: the A6700 leads at Approx. 1.07x (35 mm camera equivalent: Approx. 0.70x) with 50 mm lens at infinity, -1 m-1 vs the A7 IV's Approx. 0.78x (with 50 mm lens at infinity, -1m-1).
- Weight (body): the A6700 leads at 493 g vs the A7 IV's 658 g.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
