Although the a6700 has an upgraded autofocus system and a new 26MP sensor, its resolution is a very modest increase over the a6600’s 24 megapixels, and the AF system on the previous flagship was arguably among the best in segment.

Check before diving
There’s no greater guarantee than being able to see your camera and the o-ring through the back of the case. Our signature open groove design hangs the rear o-ring in a natural position, making it easier to maintain and more reliable than pressing the o-ring into a channel. Once the case is closed, you can see that the o-ring forms a sturdy, waterproof seal.
We recommend adding the optional Vacuum Kit with 1/2″ Valve #47012 to vacuum the housing and check for leaks before adding water.
