I really wanna know how your eyes look at this world and give it a beauty that reflects your desires. What do you all shoot, what excites you, what you like .. what makes you open your camera 📸 and say I wanna capture this with POV and Emotion.

I've rented a 2nd A6700 body for an upcoming wildlife trip. This way I can have one mounted to a tripod using a gimbal head and my 200-600 lens. Then the other to use hand-held with my 70-350mm lens.
On the body that I own, I of course have all my menus and settings dialed in just the way I like them. It's a tedious process on the rented one. Does anyone know of a quick way to like "image" the camera settings and transfer them to another body? I'd love for the rental to share an identical setup to my own camera.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer and it's "no" but thought I'd ask to see if someone knows a trick.

This was my first proper try at the moon with this setup and it was also handheld at ISO 200, shutter speed at 1/100 and aperture 6.3 obviously. I am really impressed what the IBIS and the built in stabilisation of the lens can do together. This is edited just a little and was originally shot in the HEIF format.
Recently visited a theme park and tested out my a6700 there, any instant suggestions?

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for recommendations for a deep, extended eyecup for my a6700.
I shoot a lot of candid street and documentary photography, and I rely heavily on the EVF to analyze high-contrast scenes and shadow play before taking the shot. The stock eyecup just lets in way too much ambient glare.
I was leaning toward the Kiwifotos (Kiorafoto) extended eyecup because the dimensions look perfect, but I've been looking at the reviews and I'm pretty concerned about the build quality. Multiple buyers have posted photos of the rubber completely tearing away from the plastic mount.
One review mentioned it "fell apart in one month" right after the return window closed. Another user noted it tore less than a year after buying, and someone else complained that the plastic mount is too tight and "does not fit A6700".
Has anyone here used the Kiwifotos version long-term? Did I just stumble on a bad batch of reviews, or is the tearing a widespread issue?
More importantly, are there any other brands making a true extended eyecup for the a6700 that can actually survive regular use out on the street?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
It’s been over 15 years since I got my last camera and close to a decade since I last picked up a camera that wasn’t in my phone. Very excited to get started (and get more lenses, in time)!
I’m buying a a6700
Coming from Olympus EM10
Will use it most for travel
Having a hard time trying to decide my lenses
18-135 + small prime for night and bokeh
Sigma 18-50 + some telephoto lens
I really don’t like to keep switching lenses during the day
I have lost many pictures because of this
E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS,
ISO100, 525mm, 0.7ev, f6.3, 1/100s
Hi all,
Just purchased my new a6700 today and am looking for some help with a lens recommendation.
I’ve upgraded from an older a5100 so have the standard 16-50mm kit lens from that.
Can’t decide between the Sigma 17-40mm f1.8 art lens or the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, both of which seem to review well.
Significantly price difference between the 2 and I’m not sure with my eyesight I’ll particularly notice the sharper image from the Sigma. So do I go for the Tamron for the additional focal length??
Interested in peoples thoughts before I purchase?
Would mostly be used for street/landscape photography.
Thanks in advance.
Update — thanks to everyone who has providing recommendations for me, it has been very useful, even if I have been going back and forth considerably since posting 🤣
I think I am going to go with the recommendations of many here and purchase the Sigma 18-50mm and see how I get on with that first before considering other lenses in the future. I can see there will likely be a couple more purchases made in the future based on your responses.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Setup:
Context:
I've been playing around with the A6700 a lot more recently, and was going for a walk at around 11pm so I figured I'd take it out and practice:
Why I'm Sharing This:
While at it, I figured I would have loved to see this ages back when I was still deciding between APSC and Full Frame. After this, I'm fairly happy with how the A6700 performed here after a basic grade.
Bonjour tout le monde,
Je suis impatient de recevoir mon Sony A6700 ! Pour le moment, je suis encore sur mon A6400, donc j’ai vraiment hâte de voir la différence entre les deux.
Pour ceux qui utilisent déjà l’A6700, est-ce que vous pourriez me partager votre ressenti et votre retour d’expérience, aussi bien en photo qu’en vidéo ?
Je serais notamment intéressé par vos avis sur la qualité d’image, l’autofocus, la stabilisation, les performances en basse lumière, mais aussi sur la vidéo en 4K et l’utilisation du 10 bits.
Est-ce que vous avez vraiment ressenti une belle évolution par rapport à l’A6400 ou d’autres modèles ? 😊
Merci d’avance pour vos retours !
Storm came through and lite up the sky had to go try and capture the show
Tried to shoot the Eclipse the other day, even if I was a bit scared about pointing the camera straight to the sun without any filter...but Who knows when I'll be able to shoot this scene again, so I went for It!
Of course mistakes were made.
I ALWAYS keep my camera in manual mode, in order to get more used to the various settings in different conditions and learn everytime I use It, but this time I accidentaly left It in shutter priority. I was too excited by the view to notice, damn It!
This caused a sever light change as soon as the sun went behind the clouds.
I must admit anyway that the result was still pretty good to me ( I'm Just a casual beginner ) and I tried to "save It" by timing It with some music.
Let's Say that It could've been Better but I'm still satisfied!
A Little technical detail: the clip was shot in slog3 10bit and simply converted to rec709 because I don't understand a single thing about color grading still.
Basically this Is straight out of camera.
some shots from a beginner learning photography!
Thanks a lot for all suggestions, especially the Sigma 18-50mm lens. Damn, this lens is so good, probably going to carry it for everyday shooting, one lens for all.
