CONCLUSION

The bottom-line is if you are exposing for the subject, you need to use the correct shutter speed. In that case, for the same shutter speed even with the brightest autofocus lens for the system, APS-C cameras can only fetch you noisy videos while the Full Frame camera may produce less noisy videos which is evident from these tests. But for me, I am totally happy with the video quality of the A6700 even at ISO 12800. I just need to use a bit of noise reduction.
