- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ILCE7CL/S
- Product Name: Alpha 7C Full-frame Compact Mirrorless Camera with FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 lens
- Color: Silver
- Camera Model Family: Sony Alpha 7C
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 2x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/4.5 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/22 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 60 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Auto, Manual, Programmed AE, Aperture Priority, Shutter-speed priority (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Scene Modes: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Autumn Leaves, Black & White, Sepia, Style Box (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Flash, Underwater, Color Temperature, Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount (Full-Frame), Sony E-Mount
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 28 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 60 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Sony E (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
- Lens Model Number: SEL2860
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording at 120 fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 120 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- HD Movie Mode Focus: Automatic
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

Buy it! You won't regret it!
This camera is amazing! If you have even thought about buying it then just do it!! The size is small and practical and it takes pictures like it's a $5000 camera in my opinion. Factory lense is great but ordered a marco lense and I am excited for it to arrive!

Perfect Travel Camera and MORE
I am so happy I found this in the Best Buy store! I was using a Nikon DSLR prior and it was amazing but a lot heavier. This little guy has been a workhorse for me. Perfect travel camera but also use it as a secondary camera for my sessions. I always get compliments on it too!! It's so cute.

Awesome product and purchase experience
I recently purchased the Sony Alpha 7C Full-frame Compact Mirrorless Camera with the FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 lens in Silver, and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. As an avid photographer, I value a camera that delivers both quality and portability, and the Alpha 7C excels in both aspects. First and foremost, the image quality is outstanding. The full-frame sensor produces sharp and vibrant photos with excellent low-light performance. The included 28-60mm lens is versatile and produces sharp results across various focal lengths. I was particularly impressed with the camera's ability to capture details and reproduce colors accurately. One of the standout features of this camera is its compact size. It's incredibly portable, making it a breeze to carry around for extended periods without feeling weighed down. The build quality is solid, and the Silver finish adds a touch of elegance. The autofocus system is fast and reliable, ensuring that I never miss a shot, even in challenging shooting conditions. The 4K video recording capabilities are also impressive, making it a versatile tool for videography as well. While the camera offers excellent performance, it's worth noting that the battery life, while decent, may require an extra battery for prolonged shoots. Additionally, the LCD screen could benefit from a touch interface for more intuitive controls. In conclusion, the Sony Alpha 7C is a fantastic choice for photographers and videographers looking for a compact yet powerful mirrorless camera. Its superb image quality, portability, and versatility make it a top contender in its class. I've thoroughly enjoyed using it and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a capable and portable camera system.
