Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice.
I’m thinking about buying the Sony A6700 mainly for hiking trips, travel, and outdoor adventures. I’d like to use it to create cinematic travel videos, short edits with music in the background, and maybe even some mini short-film style content.
I also want the ability to do color grading, so having good video files with flexibility in post-production is important to me.
I should also mention that I have no previous experience with dedicated cameras. Right now, for both photos and videos, I only use my iPhone 16 Pro for personal use.
My question is: would the Sony A6700 be a good choice for someone like me, or would it be overkill?
The starting kit would cost me around €1500, and that’s without extra memory cards, spare batteries, or another lens, so it would end up costing even more. I’m wondering if it’s worth spending that much for my use case.
Would I be better off with something simpler like an action camera (GoPro, DJI Action, etc.) or maybe a DJI Osmo Pocket for convenience and ease of use?
Weight is not a major concern for me, so portability matters less than overall image quality and creative flexibility.
What would you recommend in my situation? Thanks a lot.Etc.Also to mention that I like quality things that last
