Despite being the “oldest” of the bunch the Sony just won with a small margin over the other two cameras. And that’s a good sign for the next A1II that might be announced in 2024 and could be considerably better than all three of these tested cameras!
A full spec comparison between the “old” A7c and the newer A7cII and A7cR cameras can be seen on that special BHphoto page. And below you an accurate size and spec comparison made by Asobinet (google translated):
Bill Claff from photonstophotos tested the A6700 dynamic range and it’s exactly like the one of the A7rV in crop mode.

Dpreview tested the A6700 and concluded:
It excels in every regard whether you’re focused on stills, traditional video, vlogging, or all three.
All of this adds up to a gold award for the a6700, which is both the biggest leap forward in its series to date, but also, perhaps, the best APS-C camera, for the most people, in 2023.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the fastest 28mm FF lens you can buy and concluded:
The Laowa 28mm F1.2 (750 euros) is the fastest 28mm available in the market. Like all extreme lenses F0.95/F1.2) comprises have been made to favour aesthetic over classical rendering.
The lens is very well built but is fully manual. A switch allow to have a clickless aperture ring for video
The sharpness is good wide open in the centre with a nice soft background blur at 50cm and a good color rendering. unfortunately the corners are quite bad and the lens suffers from strong field curvature, high vignetting and low resistance to flare. Also the bokeh at long distance is uneven : soft in the centre and quite busy in the corners due to the field curvature.
You like it for its character and unique rendering or you hate it
