  • The Sony A7C is a small in size, big in specs full-frame camera with a large ISO range, 24.2MP sensor, and fast autofocus. Coming in at $1,800, it has the sensor, processor, and autofocus system of 2018’s A7 III in a body that’s closer in size to the A6600. Becca Farsace has the full review.

    Its worth mentioning this camera records gyroscopic data with video so the footage can be stabilised in Sonys Catalyst Browse or Image Edge app for really very smooth and impressive footage (gimbal-like even)

    • @mpgnz73
      @mpgnz73 3 роки тому +7

      So they provide gyro data in order for the user to spend hours doing post processing activities to get cropped and soft stabilised footage rather than providing a decent IBIS system in the first place. Nice one Sony.

    I love the idea of this camera. Mostly bc I'm running around the city with a camera in my purse. I used to rock a7r but it was so big and clunky, i tried rx100m3 but I hated that I have to take out the viewfinder which takes so much time and recently I bought a6100 and I'm so happy with it. It's small enough to make a difference in a purse but its still apsc with similar feel of a "full size camera". I was considering Fuji xt100v but I decided that I want more lens options. Anyway what I'm trying to say it's that id buy a7c bc it's more compact then standard FF.

    big question would u sell an a7iii to get this a7c to get the better auto focus, flip screen and no record limit? I like the size of my a6300, been using it for 5 years and a7iii over 2years. I'm thinking about upgrading to a cinema camera but my a7iii has done right by me, so just having an "a7iii speced camera" with no record limit seems like a worthy upgrade to me but are the trade offs worth the switch (small evf, lack of c buttons, no improvement in bit rate, 1 sd card slot) ?

    The Sony 24-70mm f/2 on a7C looks so huge but it is isn't a very big zoom lens. Also the a9 and a9 II cameras were omitted at the start of the a7 series lineup. The a9 and a9 II have the a7 series body but with just a different name.
    The a7C is the 13th full frame mirrorless camera by Sony. I hope it will be a lucky one.

    I've had the Sony A7c for a while for photography and it's fallen more and more to my liking as time goes on, so I actually no longer use my Sony A9 and consider selling it.
    The size is perfect for me and I love that the viewfinder puts in the side of the camera as I prefer that way of photographing. For the viewfinder I have bought an eyecup, and now the viewfinder has become really good to work with.
    I absolutely love the Color Science, and now I often only photograph in jpg.
    My only downside with the camera is that the LCD screen could well be more high resolution, but it is still possible to work with in most situations.
    Regarding the smaller number of buttons and wheels on the camera compared to, for example, Sony A9, it is not a problem for me as I switched the buttons and wheels that are to the ones I use the most. I always use focus tracking, so I do not need a button / wheel to move focus around with, as I just lay the focus point with focus -tracking on the subject that should be in focus and then I can move the subject where I want in the viewfinder or on the screen. I think it's much faster that way too.
    Many greetings
    Jess

For me, to buy a same-size camera body but then have to attach large and bulky/heavy lenses defeats the purpose of the concept of small. I get your points though-innovation is wonderful to see and each iteration of previous technology helps us all; and thanks for the review!
