Editing notes
Inherits the newer full-frame colour science in an APS-C body. The 1.5× crop means a 35mm lens frames like a 52mm — worth remembering when matching framing against full-frame reference shots.
Looks that suit these files: Golden hour, teal shadows, Portra-ish 400.
The files it writes
The Sony α6700 records RAW as .arw. Watch the bit depth: continuous drive and silent shutter quietly drop these files from 14-bit to 12-bit, which shows as banding once you lift shadows hard.
What a .arw file actually contains — compression, bit depth, embedded previews and which software reads it.
