    HEY! Couple notes before you comment! :)
    1. You're awesome for actually reading this first!
    2. A lot of comments here already seemed like they dismissed the video before watching. Most mentioned APSC is NOT DEAD because the affordable price keeps them alive - which is EXACTLY what I said in the video too :) I also went on to say if anything, APS-C "could" be slowly phased out but not for awhile. a7C is just the start! If dedicated cameras are still a thing in the next decade, FF might be the new standard is my guess. That is... if phones still haven't phased out dedicated cameras by then! haha
    And finally...
    3. a6400 does not have eye af in video - my mistake! 🙈

      Maybe the APSC format will survive for video, but for photography the future are for "fullformat" 24x36mm and 33x44mm and even larger sensor cameras. I went from an APSC Canon DSLR to Sony "fullformat", but I can still take pictures in APSC with Sony if I want to, the Sony A7 series are so compact that APSC do not look like an options any more, I need the high resolutions of the Sony A7RIV most of the time now. I hope in near future there will be lower priced compact 33x44mm sensor cameras with 100 (+) megapixels.
      (By the way, who are the jerk that called 24x36 (35mm format) for "fullformat" ??)

      Dual gain ISO architecture is needed in Sony APS-C, but will never happen. Instead compact primes like 18 f/2.8, 24 f/2.8, 35 f/2.8, 35 f/1.8 (all from Samyang),Sigma's new 85 f/1.4, Tamron's 17-28,28-75,70-180 (f/2.8) & 28-200. All this lenses are compact enough to replace most of APS-C lens.

      I'd prefer to see new advanced APS-C cameras in the future. And small lenses.
      Maybe if fuji keeps that light on the APS-C world will be a fuji one.
      Sony could do it too, create the ultimate pro-APS-C, but funnily it is a lot easier to have full-frame sensors.
      I guess that is why you imagine big sensors in tiny bodies in the future.
      Imagine a super 35 sensor with a7siii potential, backed by smart technology offering clean images and amazing lowlight.
      If they ever created a little god of a camera to reverse or rethink the sensor direction on the size I'd invest at a drop of a hat.

    As a non-professional photographer, my a6500 and Sigma f/1.4 primes are enough for me right now. I think I will eventually make the move to full-frame, but in order for me to justify the costs of upgrading not only my camera body but my lenses, it has to be an extraordinary camera, with more megapixels, great low-light capabilities, and a non-bandy electronic shutter (Sony’s version of the Canon R5 basically lol). I’m not hesitating moving to full frame because of the size or cost of the camera body but rather the size and cost of the full-frame lenses that would be comparable to my APS-C lenses. (For me, an f/4 pancake lens is not enough to make me want to make the move.)
    Thanks for the video comparison! I’ve been hoping to see more of these comparisons rather than the A7C vs. A7iii comparisons.

      @professionalpotato4764 3 роки тому +1

      @@amitkrupal1234 Crop lenses are usually more expensive. They require more resolving power due to the higher pixel density of crop sensors, meaning by nature, it must be sharper. The 16-55 f/2.8 must be as sharp as if not sharper than a 24-70 GM quality lens. That increase in quality leads to increased prices. If you want the same DoF, crop lenses become even more expensive than full frame. Fuji 50mm f/1.0 is about the same cost as the new Sigma 85mm f/1.4, with almost the same image quality.
      With crop lenses, you're extra for smaller sizes. But if average quality is good enough, then yeah... There's plenty of good enough glass at low prices.

      @HSNG10 3 роки тому

      @Ziggi Mon the exposure remains the same at the same aperture regardless of FF or APSC. What you pointed out by applying the 1.5 crop factor to apsc aperture refers to the effect on bokeh as for the same Focal length, we have to move away from the subject on apsc to have the same framing as FF. Hence the bokeh effect will be less in apsc at same F1.8 compared to FF.
      But the exposure triangle remains the same between FF and APSC, except that the FF sensor has better ISO performance at high ISOs. If ISO100, F1.8, SS 100 gives right exposure on Sony FF, it'll be the same for Sony APSC. The apsc lens does not "become slower" and requires a slower SS or to raise ISO.

My last purchase was a Micro 4/3 Panasonic DMC-G3 with a few lenses, which primarily appealed because of compactness. After spending an inordinate amount of time researching and reading camera comparisons for every brand and type of camera out there, I was finally sold on the Sony a7C, and so far, I'm absolutely happy with my decision. The a7C with the kit lens fits perfectly in the compact bag I was carrying for my DMC-G3, and I'm loving the image and video quality and AF features. A final note, my primary interests are night sky photography, landscape, and travel / carrying on hikes. This ticked all the boxes and felt worth it to put down the extra money on full frame.

    I agree with your assessment in that APS-C still has long life before it goes away. Forget the cost difference between the full frame and crop frame cameras the lens price differential alone makes a HUGE difference. I hope Sony (and the other guys) don’t start building cameras geared more towards pros or super amateurs because there are wayyyyy more casual photographers like myself that won’t see the big difference in picture quality and can’t justify spending 4 or 5 times more for a “bit” better bokeh. I can spend $500 for an a6000 and take the rest of the money and buy a plane ticket to go somewhere to take great pictures. 😀

      I honestly don't get the comments that don't get the A7c. I'm an aps-c shooter and the primary reason I *haven't* moved up to full frame is because of the daunting bulk of the cameras--the difference between something like a 6600 and an A7iii is significant, especially if you're trying to pocket or run and gun all day. There are many, many aps-c shooters who were drawn to the system because of its portability / compactness and accepted the lack of a full frame sensor as a necessary trade-off. With the A7c, Sony is essentially saying "you don't have to decide between the one (compactness) and the other (full frame) anymore, we'll give you both." It seems like a perfectly obvious evolution of Sony's camera systems and is frankly super exciting. The reaction of the loud commentariat on the internet to the contrary is just bizarre to me.

And even for someone who uses the A9 as his main camera, and who only uses huge GM lenses, I'm also super excited about the A7C, because before it became a reality, there is nothing on the market that gives you an FF body (and weight) that small. Its compactness also means that, when paired with a fast f/1.8 prime lens, you can hold it with a single hand all day when you're traveling. We're talking about a full frame, fast lens package that not only gives you huge flexibility in low light situations, but also produces great still shots and videos that only weighs around 800g!

    As a beginning professional with a tight budget, I spend most of my budget on lenses rather than camera bodies. One, because I think the lens affects the image more than the body, and two, because lenses depreciate more slowly than camera bodies. Many of my clients don't know or care about what gear I show up with, they only care about the final result. For these reasons, I think I'll be shooting APS-C for a while longer 👍

    1. Have you checked if it overheats when recording 4k after about 1h (I have A7III and after about 60 minutes it overheats and turns off)? I am thinking of buying this A7C, but the condition is that it cannot overheat while recording 4k in continuous mode.

    Hi Jason, a6000 & a7r user here, you are right in your comments. when I reach for a camera to either take a shot or bring a camera I reach for the APSC. Handier and quicker to use, cheaper at all levels (right down to SD size needed), and portable. I love the a7r, it's clunkier than the a6000 but and use all my APSC lenses and still end up with 20MP ARW files, and all my beautiful heritage 35mm glass work on both, thanks to the E mount.
    BTW I still love my kit lenses, I even but spare ones!

    Thanks for asking the right questions. I always enjoy your reviews and learn a tremendous amount from them. Also, love your humor. I think you left one critical component out of this review - the photographer. I understand why professionals need more sophisticated equipement and the latest tech to succeed. But the question for me, and I suspect for many amateur photographers of all levels of experience and skill is - Would I take better pictures with full frame than with my APSC camera. The answer for me is definitely "no". It's easy to convince yourself that getting better gear will improve your results, but in most cases, it's the photographer, not the camera that makes the difference. So, all other things considered, I'll move up to full frame when I'm convinced that it's what I need to take better pictures. In the meantime, the sophistication of my Sony A6400 is more than adequate for my needs. And the cost and weight savings don't hurt.

    I think the camera manufacturers would like aps-c to go away so they can focus on 1 lineup. I believe canon will drive there with sub $1000 cameras but I think it will take years as there are many of us that want the lover prices and smaller sizes but still feature rich. They need to make the price difference much smaller. I'm hoping for a a7c without IBIS to see how low they can get pricing.

    Jason: I WATCHED your ENTIRE video :). You have such a sunny, happy disposition. How we choose to record our lives and create artistic images is so subjective. From my father I inherited a love of the camera body. Yet my girlfriend laughs at my camera and lenses (well not completely). I wanted more quality to my stills, but needed a small camera body, so have opted for the Sony A6000, now the A6600. I have a very nice set of lenses (zooms primarily) and can get everything into a 1/2-size camera bag (for international travel). The quality of the APSC images with a good APSC lens (sony 18-135, 70-350, Sigma 30mm) is so good that they rival full frame for me as an enthusiast. I'm not a pro, but if I were I would be shooting with full frame. Despite what you said, the size of full frame lenses are typically heavier, wider, and longer, and this HAS to be considered when evaluating the overall size of your camera. For travelers the small size translates into being able to more easily bring the mavic mini and the weebill S. I can't bring more than one checked bag and one-2 carry ons. As well, I have an RX1000iii that is so tiny I always bring it and use it for panorama and fill flash and a TOUGH camera for underwater or rugged moments. Thanks, again!
