To quote Cameralabs "The Sony A7C is a mid-range full-frame mirrorless camera with 24 Megapixels, 4k video up to 30p, built-in stabilization, 10fps bursts, rangefinder styling, and a fully-articulated touchscreen. It’s Sony’s smallest and lightest full-frame to date, packing the quality and speed of the A7 III into a more compact body that’s barely larger or heavier than the A6600. "
Whazzup Everyone! I know many reviews came out already about this compact camera but here's my thought about this little baby.
As what Youtubers and vloggers say, this little baby is the A7III in a little body:
- Compact and lightweight full-frame camera
- 20% smaller body than the Sony A7 III
- Vari-angle LCD
- 24.2MP CMOS image sensor
- BIONZ X image processor
- ISO up to 204,800
- 5-axis in-body image stabilization
- Hybrid AF with real-time Eye AF (human and animal) and real-time Tracking AF
- Continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second
- 4K UHD video capabilities with fast Hybrid AF and real-time Eye AF
- Industry-leading battery life
- Available with a new compact FE 28-60mm kit lens
By specification, this camera is amazingly brilliant and superb. Knowing the a7III is one of the best hybrid cameras Sony ever produces. But by ergonomics, this is not for photographers with big hands like mine because my hands won't comfortably fit holding this camera... but that is not a big deal.
The "feels" is like you are using Sony's APS-C camera A6x00 lines. I find it uncomfortable to hold and frame my because I might lose grip on the camera but I did manage and adjusted my grip later on.
This camera is also made for vloggers... and for on-the-go videographers too because of its flip-out screen and it's lightweight plus the super-fast autofocus system. This camera will perfectly fit for any gimbals minus the heavyweight. For handheld, this camera is also superb because of its Internal Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) plus if you have a lens that also has image stabilization, your job as a videographer is hustle free. Again, good footage doesn't pop-up because of a good camera, it is still the man behind the lens that makes good footage.
The A7III has two (2) card slots but the A7C has only one card slot. So, better protect your work. But I don't have much problem with card slots.
Another thing that kinda off for me si the Electronic View Finder, it's smaller compared to the A7III and it's located at the far left end of the camera. But if you are accustomed to the Sony APS-C cameras, this won't bother you.
Sony uses the same A7III battery for the A7C, the Sony NP-FZ100 which lasts longer than their NP-FW50. For me, when using this camera for professional shoots, like weddings, another 2 extra batteries are needed... and for videographers, a minimum of 4 extra batteries are needed.
So, for videographers and vloggers, and for some photographers, this camera is for you. This is one of the best full-frame compact mirrorless cameras in the world so far.
