THESIS: The A7C can shoot professional photo and video, BUT you should be warned of the single SD card slot👍 Let me know what you guys think! If you were to buy one, would you go A7C or A7iii?
When it first came out, I really wanted this camera because of the articulating screen and the upgraded menu. But the single card slot, viewfinder and less customizable buttons is what turned me towards the a7iii even though it's an older camera. I would have loved the a7Siii but too pricey...so I guess I need to hurry and create content for my own channel so I can eventually start making money from it!
@@danasuechilds Yeah, the missing custom buttons is a huge loss. Even the A6000 has a top-mounted one.
Never had an issue with single card slot and custom buttons before (never had the a7iii). I would still choose this over a7iii. unlimited recording / eye AF for video? It would make cheap sony lens perform more with this feature, specially the 50mm f1.8 FE. C'mon guys. Am I the only one seeing these benefits?
Not to mention the flip out screen
@@dadimotobuildsph9101 No, the benefits are there but the downsides are also there. We all have different needs and preferences.
I don’t shoot a lot of people in motion. I more often shoot things, or myself (yes, I am arguably a person 🤓), - fairly static stuff. I tend to do manual follow focus if any focus at all, and use lots of older manual focus lenses.
Thus, having custom buttons comes in handy in manual focus situations.
Still, an amazing camera, and better at what it does than I am, I’m sure!
Every review that was complaining about the body I wanted to scream at them "THATS THE POINT! ITS COMPACT!" lol. You nailed it.
Ok i get that, but then he ask why there is only 1 SD card slot, i know why... Because it's Compact :) it goes for the grip 2, it's meant to be Compact. Me personally would choose the A7III over this, all the pro's of the A7C except for the flippy screen does not out perform the pro's on the A7III. Having Custom buttons makes a huge deal, especially with the old menu style which i don't mind because i never need to go in it because of the C1 - C4. It all comes down what you need as a video/photographer both body's are great and has there pros and cons.
You do realise there are cameras smaller than the a7c that have a front control wheel, more custom buttons and a bigger EVF, right? Even Sony's smaller a6600 has a bigger EVF than the a7c...
@@BoxxyFan Sony a6600 is not full frame! Compare orange with orange.
@@tatters1 all cameras have control dials and evfs. Theres no such thing as evfs or controls just for ff or apsc
@@tatters1 the 6600 has just better usability, no one cares about the sensor most cinema cameras have a super 35 sensor which is just a fancy name for apsc.
This will be my 23rd year shooting and I have NEVER had a card fail on me
Lucky you, praise god
I've had quite a few harddrives fail but like you, never a SD or CF card fail.
found it quite hilarious how his biggest issue with the sony a7c is one SD Slot. “because SD’s fail ALL THE TIME” then explains how he’s been shooting for 12 years and it’s never happened to him.
Same. i’ve never had a SD card fail on me.
Are you guys full time professional photographers?
Same for me, sandisk, kingston, lexar, if you pick a good brand, you will never have an issue, and you bring multiple card with you if you want to be safe. It is unlikely the uhsii inside the sony will fail. If it is the case, there is also chance that an a7siii or a7iii processor died during shooting. If you are a pro, you probably have several camera. So this is not an argument. The evf is maybe small but really clear, i tried it. It misses maybe an extension for the evf to block sun. But that’s it. It does not have 1/8000 in mechanic shutter but it does 1/8000 with electronic shutter, and flash speed sync i think is 1/160 instead of 1/200
"Holy cow its so big! And then 10 minutes later, you're just...just watching a movie" That's what she said... xD
Me: This is the most underrated video about the a7c
David Manning: Yeah!
Ouh ouh one single card, ..wouah i don’t need multiple cards. I can have one 256GB and switch with another. I had a camcorder with 3, i never used them. The a7c is superior to a7iii. It is not the same, it has better video, better processor better autofocus, movie record button, more compact, less weight. Compatible with digital interface. It is also for photography and is better in video. I use more the flip screen than evf. It has not the weakness of the a7iii, except the rolling shutter, from what i have seen.
Agree,. Been using single card cameras for years and it’s never been a problem.
It’s superior for video, but not photography (the point of the video is for professional photography). Having dual cards is a must for any professional shoot because you just never know what may happen. I’d rather have it and not need it then not have it, but I end up needing it.
@@joshuareveles agreed! I’m moving into professional videography and as much as I’d like the a7c, I really think it’s a no compromise situation with a dual card slot.
Agreed, multiple sd's just makes things more confusing. Unless you're shooting tonnes of video I don't see the need
@@ScottGerke Yeah. It's also one of the reasons why I bought the XT4 instead of the A7C. A7S3 is out of my budget and nothing in the E-mount has 10 bit and dual slots.
So, you rambled, blathered, and repeated yourself for over 10 minutes before you brought up the single card slot. Does that get your revenue up?
Just you commenting here Mike. That was my whole goal😉👍
@@DavidManningvlog Glad to help.
@@DavidManningvlog I already have (2) a7 III 's and love them. They are both loaded with a 256 and 128 (sdxc II) card but I never save to both cards. I do have all of my C buttons assigned and would hate to lose them and go back to just one dial. Sorry to be grouchy, been in hibernation too long.
The lack of a recording limit is what sells me on the A7c. I primarily shoot video, and 30 minutes always streaks by faster than you think when you’re shooting a podcast / vodcast.
An external recorder fixes that
@@joshuareveles External recorders run about $500, then you have to add a smallrig if you want to mount your mic or wireless mic assembly...for something that you could just get natively on the A7c.
Ha! I literally did the exact same thing with my Aperture/ISO ring! Love this camera no matter the complaints lol
How did you do this?? I'm trying to figure it out in the settings and I'm failing T_T
I'm really curious about how often someone has lost ALL the pictures on an SDCard? and how often they have lost any picture on an SDCard (like 3-4 out of 200)? I think SDCard have improved so much that these numbers are very low, unless you buy at the lowest price, and even then...
Spoiler Alert: Never.
I had failed sd cards and if you shoot a paid job and the card fails you lose money so even ONE failure is too much.
This single SD card failure issue is one of those things only camera reviewers who review cameras for a living talk about.....,
It’s more of a thing that professionals that need redundancy worry about. If losing your images doesn’t mean a very upset client, then a single SD card slot isn’t a big deal. It would still be terrible to possibly lose images, but as a professional with a client, like let’s say a wedding day, a major priority is redundancy on-site so there’s no possible way that you lose those images!
If David responds to this i will cry
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
Well definitely don’t cry!
@@DavidManningvlog omg 😲 I cant believe this
Why do they keep using the SD card format anyway? Wouldn´t it make more sense to move to micro SD? That leaves plenty of space for dual slots
That makes a lot of sense, we all are using micro SD to SD adapters anyways.
This camera in silver could have been my dream camera. I like rangefinder style cameras. However, the lack of a mechanical front curtain is a deal breaker for me. This camera is EFCS only, I use Soviet lenses and have issues with EFCS on my a6300.
I don't mind the single SD card slot.
What's the advantage of using ancient lenses?
@@joshcruzphotos You generally get extremely high price to performance ratios. Some lens can deliver some interesting colour rendering or other effects that are hard to impossible to imatate in post. My old telephoto lens (Jupiter-21M) is costs a fraction of the price of my Sony 55-210 kit lens but is faster, much sharper, and has better bokeh. It is however, much heavier, less vivid (coatings are not the Soviets' strong suit), has more purple fringing, and more prone to flare.
Good modern lenses tend to have beter coatings and optics, they are also MUCH easier to use due to autofocusing and stabilization.
If you have the skills and a non-existent budget, old lenses can be a good option. You will need a lot of research and some luck to get a good deal, however.
Just bought one today with the Sony 20mm 1.8G. Not concerned of having 2 SD slots. Although I wish they put the ports on the right side of the camera. Because when you have the flip screen out, the cables obstruct your view. Nonetheless awesome camera, upgraded from A6400/XT3
That's a solid setup man!
@@DavidManningvlog I originally wanted the Tamron 17-28 f2.8, since I needed an ultra wide with AF. But it wasn’t available at the place I was at. And the Sony 20mm 1.8, according to other owners who’ve done testing, have confirmed it’s more of a 19mm. And with the instant rebate for the Sony lens, I got a huge discount for it. So I couldn’t pass that up. Thanks again for your input bro, God bless!
Hey bud, how's your experience so far?
I'm also looking for something to upgrade the a6400 from.
@@BrownTea00 A7C and 20mm is an awesome setup no complaints. I eventually sold it though. And now I have the A7IV with the 20mm, even better setup.
Well, professional photographers do not use compact cameras, do they? So it is fine for me then, I am not professional :) Never had problem with cards. Was fun to watch the review, thanks.
Thanks for watching Tatiana! It’s a really impressive camera!
I disliked this video.
It's titled "one major flaw", yet you keep on talking about everything else BUT this major flaw for three quarters of the video.
Apart from that, I think saying a A7C's single card slot is a flaw is the same as complaining about it being too compact - it's missing the point of this camera. To me this is an enthusiast/vlogger camera and not a professional camera one should shoot weddings with.
06:48 you can do all that with the tilt screen, and it doesn't take forever to pullout and you don't scream at everyone that you're shooting or filming them. Tilt screen rules!
I am a fan of the tilt screens and even the flip up screen
Honestly I don’t think the single SD debate is warranted these days. Unless you’re using a set of cheap low speed SD cards, you shouldn’t be experiencing any failures. I’ve never had an SD fail on me. Cameras like the Leica cost 3 to 4 times as much as this guy with a single card slot. I understand wanting redundancy, but I believe a good quality UHS II card can suffice. I’m considering this guy for EDC for its size, sensor, and the option to have fast af even though I primarily want to use manual lenses to keep it small
Nailed it. I love this camera. It has enough buttons which can also be customized to your liking also you can even save more settings to the SD card for even more costume settings. Small and compact but agree that if you use other lenses such as zoom lenses then they make the rig alot bigger. But still, I like caring it around because it's light and compact and goes really well with smaller primes. Would like 2 sd cards like you said though. That was my biggest flaw also.
I was leaning on getting an a7 III until I saw the flip out screen on the a7c. I'm going to migrate from a6000 so all the buttons and scrolls sit right at home for me.
The A7C is a killer choice! It's super impressive and for me, that flip out screen is the deal sealer!
Who’s “everyone?”
I mean, technically "everyone" is like EVERYONE, but in this case I only mean it to be all the other reviews I've seen online. "Everyone" (but also, like probably not literally everyone) keeps complaining about it being compact. And it just makes me laugh🤣
I finally got a chance to hold one in a camera store and was amazed at how light it was. I wasn't impressed by the quality of the EVF and the screen. I would pay more if Sony upgraded those in the next iteration. I am really on the fence about getting this or waiting to see what is offered in the A71V. If I didn't own the A7III already I would definitely have picked this up- love the form factor!
You say 2 card slot is a dealbreaker and cards fail all he time...yet you also said in the 12 years you have been shooting you have never had one fail. I dont think this is as big of a deal as you or most the people in the comments make it out to be. Even is a card does fail its usually recoverable. Or if you are worried, carry a mobile back up drive with you for instant backups on site.
I've never had a fire in my house either, but I have three fire extinguishers in three spots around the house. The risk of it happening is very low, but the consequences of when it happens are very high👍
Only 1 SD? No problem. Turn on FTP and sync immediately to your phone or pc. No matter what happens to your SD or Camera. You have a seamless backup.
You haven't had an SD card fail in 12 years. I haven't had one fail in 8 years I'm doing professional camerawork. So, I don't think it's a big deal. If you do a wedding, buy a new SD card for € 40 - 50 if you are very concerned...
Please someone give me an example where you recorded using two SD cards at the same time & you had one fail but the other didn’t 🙄 ps I’ve recorded with one card slot for a decade and never had a fail
I've had multiple friends have this issue. Primarily when shooting photography and one card's file system became corrupt and unreadable in some way👍
There is a full Cage from smallrig with grip extension for it, absolute game changer for this great a7c
The good thing is the major flaw isnt as critical if you are just vlogging on the camera, but I would have loved if the A7C had 4k60 :/ But the articulating screen is the sell for me!
Man, that screen makes such a big difference!
Why you need 4K/60, it's not slow enough, better skip the 4K/60 and go straight to 4K/120. There is no point in having 60 fps, i know i know... we first need to go to 4K/60 before we even get 4K/120, but it takes too long. Well i suppose every1 had their own needs, i'm happy with 4K/24/30 and 1080P/120 until we get to the affordable option of 4K/120.
@@AngelusHD 4k120 would be great also but the amount of storage required is a huge difference from 4k60
FOUND YOU AGAIN! was looking for your videos for sometime then i remembered that you did that Hawaii volcano trip some time back and finally found your channel again, glad that your still doing great! Ill keep the notification on this time so i wont miss your uploads
Stoked that you’re back Farhanul!
as much as a good review this is why is the intro 2 minutes long?!?!?! it's so annoying on videos....it doesn't need to be more than 30 seconds to explain everything
Hahaaa! I’ll try to hurry along🤣👍
@@DavidManningvlog haha or honestly just skip the intro and get straight into it
I have only sort of re-entered the camera market, so I was VERY excited to see this model since I often like to take my A6000 out rather than my A7II because the A6x00 bodies are nice and compact. This seemed like the best of both worlds - a full-frame A6x00. However, excitement changed to despair when I realized that I’d lose the custom buttons, AND the AF/MF/AEL button that I live by on my A7II. I live for back-button focus.
I also use manual focus lenses quite often and have a custom button mapped to quickly zoom the viewfinder for focus assist. There might be workarounds (maybe that AF-ON button can be mapped?), but it’s still a loss. The crazy thing is the A6000 has both a top-of-grip custom button and an AEL button. The A6600 has TWO custom buttons on top and the same AF/MF/AEL button as the A7II. Why the heck couldn’t they at least do the same here?
It takes me out of the market for this camera. I realize I was probably expecting too much given its form factor and target market (what IS its target market???), but it’s still a disappointment. I have no use for an $1800 “B” camera. Maybe the next rev will be the one...
This is my first full frame Sony camera, I love it so far.
Me too. Haha
Did you go with the kit lens? If so what are your thoughts on it?
I been wanting to get into sony.. and the A7c was what I was considering since I'd like compact.. but Don't want to go with a crop sensor so I was avoiding the a6000 series.
I like that the A7c has a similar screen that my Canon cameras do.
That’s what happens when you ask for “like” too many times LOL... jk thanks for the vid David.
Apparently!🤣
Two things that are handy on the C because I have them on my ZV1 - the flip screen for vertical video (for social media) and catalyst browse stabalisation. Catalyst browse has been very handy for 2 - 3 second clips of motion.
PS - your right about the single slot - I won't take one to paid work.
I wish I had the money to be able to get & then bash cameras
I like this video because you were gonna shoot with a model named Morgan and I plan on getting this camera to shoot my model girlfriend who also happens to be named Morgan.
Thank you for the great review. I’ve watched a lot of reviews on the A7C and it’s surprising how many people are upset that they don’t have the number of buttons, both custom and not..... but it’s a COMPACT!!!
Cheers and keep it coming...
Hahaa! An odd thing to complain about, right?!
@@DavidManningvlog I completely agree with the double card slot as a BIG drawback for professional users with clients depending on the product - like your example a wedding! For myself, I’m not so worried about it considering it would give me an excuse to go out to get the shot again if the card failed. Good point for pro’s though.
You do realise there are cameras smaller than the a7c that have a front control wheel, more custom buttons and a bigger EVF, right? Even Sony's smaller a6600 has a bigger EVF than the a7c...
You can buy a camera with 2 slots.
Even though I'm not going to be doing it professionally for other people, I'm glad you brought up the single vs double SD cart slot thing because I learned something new. Wouldn't have thought of it otherwise.
Honestly not that big of a deal to me.. at all
I don’t think it should be. This camera is real good!
@@DavidManningvlog ya then again I'm not shooting huge weddings like you said, Great vid!
Thank you for this video this help me as well. There are an endless video about this camera and I ever video I watch made it even harder to make a decision. After watching your video. I finally pull the trigger. So I hopefully I like it.. I’m new to the full frame game. Coming from a Go pro 9 I needed a great camera that can do everything better . So I hope I can learn it.
You’re going to be stoked on the decision! The A7C is a super powerful camera and sounds perfect for you👍
@@DavidManningvlog great thank you. Now I need to know how to use it. Lmao. BTW. Do you have a video about best setting for the A7C for people who mainly use if for videos?
You’re right. Dual SD cards is critical. It’s one of those ‘you don’t know you need it until you actually need it’.
Absolutely!
i'm sure they're going to have an a7IV soon. this is a "cheaper" camera for people getting into the full frame line up. that being said this thing is stupid overpriced. it's the same specs as the a7III which came out two years ago. it has two year old tech for the same price. it should have been 1500$ at max
You can write to an external drive in your pocket via wifi while you shoot.
Is it possible to change the Exposure Compensation dial to use as ISO dial?
Dang, I don’t have the camera with me anymore, but I believe it is possible to change that! On other Sony cameras I can, so I would assume that you can on the A7C too👍
@@DavidManningvlog Thank you for your response. This is something that I a looking to achieve on a7c. I am thinking of upgrading from a6600 to a7c but only if in a7c I can individually control iso, shutter and aperture simultaneouly with 3 different wheel/dials. I hope what you say is right otherwise I'll be basically using a6600 ergonomics with a full frame sensor which is not I want with a7c. :/
I don't care about it too much but there was room for another sd card slot would they not THERE WAS ROOM FOR IT
Because they wanted to make the grip smaller, they removed the dual SD card slots. The A7iii has a larger grip where the dual SD cards are. But they for sure could have kept the A7C grip larger and made it fit!
@@DavidManningvlog Even the a7III grip is tiny compared to my old Canon.
A 14min video just to point out a single sd card slot instead of 2 slots. 😂
Just trolling. I love the content! Keep it up! ✌🏼
does he reply to early comments. If so i LOVE your channel!
Thanks man, super kind of you to say!!!
First one bro
make video on how to setup lighting 🔥?
Studio tour coming soon! I'll go over my lighting setup👍
if one is concerned about the single memory card slot, couldn't one just get a portable hard drive and transfer files after shooting?
The flip out screen is what makes this camera very appealing to me (a vlogger) versus the A7iii but I can see why most people like the A7iii. My Sony a6400 isn’t cutting it anymore so I’m wanting to upgrade. This video is so helpful!
that A7c screen is not good quality tho. Literally you can´t see anything under bright daylight or even when you put your sunglasses. No joking, you can´t see sh... in that screen with sunglasses on.
Maybe im the rare individual thats never really needed the dual SD card. My first DSLR was the D7100 and i used the dual slots but never really took advantage of them. I have the a7ii now and im not bothered by a single SD slot. So this camera is intriguing.
who cares about single sd card?
Anyone that's shooting professionally. Always gotta have a backup👍
@@DavidManningvlog You're a professional photographer and you've never had an SD card fail in 12 years, and SD cards are only getting more reliable. I'll roll the dice on this one :)
Now losing an SD card, thats a real issue! I use a LaCie BOSS hard drive to back up my SD cards
A7C Biggest flaw- Its Overpriced.
Yes, was at the sony store the other day and was surprised to see that it’s almost the same price as a7iii. If I didn’t have it already I would buy the A7c just because it’s gyro fits my needs better for video.
@@X99Zero Here in the UK I can buy A7iii new for £1600. A7C - £1900
@@TheCameraManReviews I’m seriously considering getting a zv1 and add the ulanzi wide angle converter. The key features are size and gyro for me for video. Its hard to beat the price and those features. For travel, the a7iii with the large lenses has proven to be too cumbersome for me and it just took the joy out of using it.
@@X99Zero I use the a6400, in fact my UA-cam channel is pretty much built around the a6400 LOL.
@@TheCameraManReviews I had A6500, and bought into the “full frame” hype. The A6500 + 10-18mm was the best for my use. Really looking for a smaller alternative to the full frame and must have gyro.
1/4000 you can't talk about it????? Seemed like you're trying to sway away from this topic! AT this price point and ONLY 1/4000 TALK ABOUT IT THAT'S ONE MAJOR DEAL BREAKER!!!
ON POINT! cards get corrupted from improper write. 🤔 Which brings me to my next question.. if same camera is writing to both of the memory cards, isn't it true that both of the cards will probably have improper write? I'm not sure.
in 2023, the price point between an a7c and a7iii is really minimal. tbh i rather just get the a7iii since it has 2 sd card slots. but the faster focusing system on the a7c is intriguing.
Why such fixation on dual card? Even "happy go" stats like yours, 12 years with no SD card fail, it's a great stat. I'd say that generally it's more likely that the photographer mess up the work than an SD card or camera. There's a probably a better chance you drop the camera with dual slots in a pond than the SD card failing. Or maybe the camera bag get stolen with both cards, or more likely your hard drive fails or is damaged before your SD card.
This criticism would be 100% valid if the a7c were positioned or marketed as a “professional” camera… but it’s not. If you’re looking to professionally shoot weddings and events, this would never be Sony’s recommendation nor the recommendation of any competent retailer. They would tell you to get an a7III or, more likely if you are truly a pro, an a7RIV.
This is one of those reviews that gets extremely close to the point but somehow still misses it.
Boohoo...two cards could fail...just carry extra cards and batteries. Also backup in cloud or pc or smartphone or thumbdrive or ssd. Lazy people always complaining...its called maintenance.
You did not touch the subject that this camera has no option to turn off EFCS, which affects banding/bokeh.
Wtf dude,they shrinked it,thats why is called 7c means compact,with all the best features of a7III but in smaller pack,Big big advantage over A7III if u ask me...
“ SD cards fail all the time…In 12 years I’ve never had an SD card fail” Uhhhhh think about that.
to even waste a thought on using the a7c as a wedding camera, in the professional field, is in itself superfluous. it was definitely not built for that! and everyone supposedly knows someone whose sd card broke, but it hasn't happened to anyone personally... Its a very good cam and the only question ist, if you can live with the given specs… Glases and the small ewf? Missing buttons…
I was thinking of buying Canon EOS R vs Sony A7III but now that I saw this video, it is much harder because I now have 3 cameras to choose from...LOL
Nice review. Thank you
Did you buy a camera yet? I’m debating between the EOS R and now the A7c.
Being a video type person, i just don't care for photos and especially editing them. I will shoot occasionaly for fun some. BUUUUUUT YOU CAN STILL connect your phone and simultaneously get your copies through wifi to your phone.. SO who needs a 2nd sd card ? :P Workarounds for ever!
Yeah, that's sort of the thing, if you're a video first person, then the one SD card slot is much less of a thing. Although I do know some people that even while shooting video are recording redundantly. But, if it doesn't matter to you, then the A7C is an awesome choice!
How the f*ck is there NOT an SD Card adapter/splitter out ther that does this. It's really not that hard to make. I searched everywhere.. no one even seemes to be trying to find a solution to this.
My flaw is 1/4000 vs 1/8000
you guys are all wrong about the A7C... That camera stands for the ones that want to upgrade (like from the a6xxx series) and not to downgrade (from the ones that already own a full frame cam) so... no flaws if you want to upgrade... is a preference thing. grab one rather than the other... it's a question of choice!
Absolutely Luís! That’s a solid point👍
does it have the rolling shutter problem when in video yo uare moving left and right? as in clipping.
I need to coment on this... The A7c is one of the best cameras of 2021 a compact fullframe ... I have one and its great... the bottons f... that not that diferent from my A6000 so...
People need to stop talking bad about every thing and enjoy the small and compact things.
Sorry if my Inglish is not perfect... Great camera
I agree with all of this!
Nice Vid, New to the channel 👍
4:57 you *SAID* that. everyone says that a7c is for video-centric shooter but a lot of them overlooked the compactness of this camera that makes it really shine in street/travel photography when the lighter weight and stealthier body come in clutch
I personally don’t mind the one card slot. What I don’t get is... why is there no custom button by the shutter button? My a6300 has that and I use it all the time. There seems to be enough space for it. I guess I will wait for the A7 IV and decide what I am getting based on the price. Honestly, I would like Sony to give some attention to their APS-C line again.
I think the redesigned grip just meant they couldn’t do as much in that space. I also think they’re actually cannibalizing their aps-c lineup pretty hard with the A7C. For instance, anyone looking at the a6600 would be crazy to not spend the extra few hundred dollars to get the A7C
YESSS!! 1000% yes!! It needs a bigger grip, it needs a second so card slot, it needs a couple custom buttons, and it needs another scroll wheel like the one on front. I want an a7riv now. If they don’t fix anything else, the need to fix the grip at least!!!!!
I love compact electronics and its the main reason I am considering this over a73 and a7r3 but 1 card slot is bit scary, even though I am not gonna do professional photography but still.. this expensive and 1 card slot is not good. ://
Thank You David!! 👍🏻 I’ve had a card fail, luckily not a wedding but upsetting nonetheless. That’s why I only stick with Wildlife, Landscapes & The Great Outdoors & My UA-cam Channel.. No People, LoL. I’m going to be on the lookout for a new camera, something good in lowlight, hence the landscapes & Wildlife. I’ve mostly only ever used Canon, how do you feel about these Sony’s for Me? TIA 😉
I think the AF performance is underestimated. This A7C's AF is so good that A7iii felt like old tech. I would not mind owning both a7iii and a7c but what would hinder me is the price of getting 2nd body.
That's how I felt shooting action shots on the Sony ZV-E10. It made my a7iii feel like it was outdated.
@@dragonfist25 i actually own both after a few months of this video hahahaha. I love both a73 and a7c! Would always bring a7c for vid. Would always bring a73 for photo.
The time limit could be because of the fact that the A7iii could write to 2 cards simultaneously and be overheating while at it.
The omittion of the 2nd slot might be why the a7c runs much cooler than the A7iii and didn't require time limiting
I like the inclusion of "Editor David" hahaha! I was thinking of doing the same thing for some of my vids too lol
It's awesome to be able to pop in and comment on something or correct something you said wrong. Or even just to knock on wood🤣
I am loving my a7c! But I'm having the polar sunglasses not seeing the screen issue! Didn't you find a screen cover to solves that? I have a Sony 20mm showing up tomorrow for vlogging and I can't wait!
Love the ending and covid free lol. I hit that like for ya!
Single SD card slot? Use the automatic JPG transfer to your phone; it is compatible with that function (and the A7III is not) (FTP app not Imaging Edge)
What about video?
I prefer the size because it can fit in a smaller gamble. I don't shoot weddings anyways, so it's fine for me.
Happens all the time. Hasn’t happened to me in 12 years. Use it for B roll
Great suggestion to Sony on A7C II - bigger grip is perfect solution for card slots & custom buttons, everyone happy!
a7c vs. a6600? which would you do and why? I mostly do photo but love 120fps video
I would 100% go for the A7C. Multiple reasons for that. First off, it gets you into a full frame camera body, but second because having an A7C means that the lenses you buy for it will fit future cameras that you buy as you grow as a photographer/filmmaker. Let's say you buy three lenses for your A7C. Then you get really into photography/filmmaking and want to upgrade your camera body to the A7RIV or A7SIII. Those lenses that you bought for your A7C will still fit your new camera body perfectly. Lenses are a long term investment and camera bodies are temporary!
I'll be happy with an A7c version 2 too!
In that case Some one else holds ur happiness
So write to an external drive by wifi while you shoot. Problem solved.
What’s strap are you using?
The name ou trademark? Thanks really good content.
Why my audio levels are grey out on my a7C when using the memory recall option on number 1?
You have that setting set to something that doesn't record audio. Just change your settings and reset what memory recall is saved to option 1👍
smh because why would you even mention a SD card fail????? *shivers*
10:40 for anyone who wants to skip his roundabout talking and get to that "major flaw"
6:41...me laughing hysterically. I can just picture what you wanted to say but biting your tongue.
The 1 fatal flaw of this camera: 1 SD slot. Dammit.
I have sony a6600 for video low light 80 % at night am I need upgrade to a7c for video ?
Thx
If you're mainly shooting at night, I think either an A7C or A7Siii is what way to go. The A7Siii is for sure a lowlight monster!
Thank you. This is perfect for me. An amateur that travels the world and wants better photos than a point and shoot.
Totally agree with you I'm planning to buy it and the only thing holding me is a small EV and shutter speed limit at 1:4000
I'm going get this camera very soon. I do photography a lot, not video.
hi, love your content .i am going to buy my first camera for professional photography,cinematography's ,videography & vlogging should i go for a7c or a7mark 3.
Same my problem
I just got the a7c and I’ve been LOVING it in addition to my a7iii
out of the two, which one you prefer for vieo?
Shutter speed on A7c is only 1/4000 vs 1/8000 for A7iii.
