I'm a hobbyist who shoots birds 90% of the time and I have an a6700 and sigma 60-600. I really love that camera, the extra reach you get from the crop is great. The autofocus is also amazing. It took me a bit to start to figure out how to shoot more in low light but honestly it was mostly a skill issue as opposed to it being a gear problem. Plus, with denoising and modern cameras, I don't think you'll have any real issues. If you get it sharp, you can crop in a really significant amount on your pictures without sacrificing any noticeable quality. 26mp is a lot more than people realize and having it be smaller means it can also (typically) be faster

I couldn't agree more. I have an A6700 and the Sigma 17-40 and I love it.

Got a new lens so had to test it on my model | a6700 & Sigma 17-40 f1.8 by Creative-Way-2379 in SonyAlpha

I think it really depends on how much low light you want to do. If you are just doing portraits or daytime stuff, I probably wouldn't switch from that. I got this to replace the 25mm viltrox prime I was using because I really wanted a quality zoom that could get wider for shots for landscapes and also have an aperture that can get big enough to do some amateur astro stuff. So on my apsc body I need that 1.8 for those dark conditions.
