Just got the Sony a6700 and need a versatile zoom for travel and daily shooting. I’m debating between the compact Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and the Sony 16-55mm G. I want great image quality without a massive footprint for street photography. Since I also do some video, what would you recommend as the best all-rounder?

> I want great image quality without a massive footprint for street photography. Story time: I snagged a used Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for $490. Stabilization and extra reach for way less cash than the Sony G was basically a win tho!

yo, I've used both and unfortunately the Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens was not as good as expected for travel. it's just too bulky. 1. Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E: super light, perfect for ur street shots.
2. Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens: better optics but it's massive. idk but i'd go Sigma. it's wayyy easier to handle on the a6700.
