- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ILCE7C/S
- Product Name: Alpha 7C Full-frame Mirrorless Camera
- Color: Silver
- Camera Model Family: Sony Alpha 7C
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- 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.)
- 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

Amazing little powerhouse
This is m first mirrorless camera. I wanted to start small and simple and this was the best option I found. My intention was to work with more videos, and the Sony a7c sounded better for my low light needs (lots of fire dancing content), but the funny thing is that I ended up using it more for photography. The results were amazing. Fire photography is a challenge on its own, but this camera with a sigma 30mm 1.4 just took me to a new place for creativity and skills. I feel ready to upgrade to more mb and faster gear, but this Sony a7c is without a shadow of a doubt a beast if you can truly use it to its full capacity and make the best out of all its features. I wish there was more space for buttons and the view finder is not good at all. I got an attachment on amazon which fix the problem. Only one SD slot. I really dislike the app for transfer photos, it sucks. Battery life is extraordinary, I never got an extra and have been photographing and shooting lots of videos with one battery. The weight and size can't be beaten. It's a little funny when you have a bigger lens, but with my prime it's been amazing. Doesn't look like a big deal till you look at the photos. Amazing little camera. Can do a lot if you take your time to be one with it.

A7C > A7iii, Lighter, Smaller, Better Software!
Super light camera even with a Small-Rig cage! I've used this camera with both a 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 GM and its still rather easy to hand hold. Its definitely thinner on the grip since its a smaller body but I see this as a strength rather than a negative. The eye-tracking and focusing is much better on the A7C vs the A7iii since this camera has updated software built-in. The video processing presets like HLG and Cine modes all look just as good if not better than the A7iii, so in terms of functionality its definitely better. The flip out screen is good too, if you ever need to take selfies with others this comes in handy or if you're filming video and need to show the subject how they look without having them walk behind the camera to see themselves (or yourself for that matter) this comes in useful. The lack of a front rotating dial kind of sucks but there's two rear dials you can use. However the bigger dial next to the screen itself is easy to accidentally touch. I found myself changing settings like aperture during sessions and I always had to double-check my settings as to ensure that nothing was changed since I last looked. This can be remedied by turning off the dial via the menus but that's really it in terms of negative stuff. The tiny viewfinder is great even though its small. For the price and size this is a great camera. I've been using it as a primary until the release of the new A7 IV and even then I'll likely continue using this A7C as the camera for use when I'm moving around a lot or with a smaller lens. Hopefully this review helps you as I basically dumped everything I learned from using the camera :)

Great entry to full frame
Great price for full frame.I returned it but it’s not because it’s bad. It’s great. Actually most of the likes of gotten on my social media have been on this camera. Colors are better than what used to be on Sony. Grip is good except with larger lenses with larger hands. That’s really about the only con I can think of. This is probably better than any Sony camera I’ve used that isn’t more close to the 3,000 dollar range. Why I returned is just because I wanted something more fun to use and less great actually lol. Great in low light also compared to the apsc cameras I’m used to. It’s got the size and weight of those but like everyone says the internals of the a7iii. Great for street photography and portrait work
