Sony Alpha a6500
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I am still using an old Sony A6500 and no real complaints about it.
- Stepping up to A6500 and Sigma 60mm F2.8 and its itty bitty built in flash the pics are nice and sharp but its not exactly a small and light camera tho compared to A7 and enormous 28-70mm F2.8 it is :)
- See if you can find a Sony A7iii or a 6400/a6500 with your budget, it would be better for video.
- I have a sony a6500 which is smaller and lighter than all the cameras you mentioned except the gr
- I have an a6500, and it takes great photos. The only drawback is the screen can’t flip out if you want to vlog with it.
Cons
- Didn't test specifically on 6700, but tested on 6300 and 6500 and nitrate made no difference , recording or not, made no difference. You'd overheat as fast actually recording, as you would browsing the menus
- I am still using my A6500 tho.
- I do professional photography at parties, weddings etc with sony a6500 which has worse AF than a6400 and is older.
- The 6500 is just not a huge upgrade from the gh7. The 6700, for sure, but the 6500 is quite long in the tooth and not like it’s a full frame anyway.
- Cameras you're considering: Sony a6400, Sony a6500, Sony a7r ii

I use the sony a6500 as a second camera, what I can say about it is it's still a decent camera, its showing its age yes, but it still works fine and most of the budget should go to lenses anyways, so i think thats a good choice.
Recommend a6500 for EVF. EVF usefull for shoot outdoor under bright sun.
