Compact yet capable
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Debated between this and the A7IV. The A7C was a great entry point for me into the Sony ecosystem (having shot Canon in the past). The kit lens leaves something to be desired except for its compactness.

Best Compact Camera Ever
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small compact camera that delivers sharp crisp photos thanks to the full frame sensor, the autofocus is right on and fast. However I don't like the select focus point on the main screen its so easy to throw your focus off with this feature. The view finder is small but its a full frame camera on a crop sensor body. The 4K video always come out sharp with great sound if you travel a lot I highly recommend this camera.

A plus for 7c
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The shutter speed is remarkable. The auto focus is amazing and the tracking on the auto focus. Also having the ability to record extended video is a plus. 4k quality video is amazing. It is truly light weight makes it perfect for hiking. Bought it in a bundle with the 28-60mm lens the lens is terrible but the camera is great and easy to use

The C is for Compact
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went from an A6600 APS-c to this full frame wonder. Huge step up in image clarity especially in challenging indoor fast motion photography when combined with one of Sony's legendary G-Master lenses. Being able to fit all of this performance into an A6xxx body style is a bonus. Great for on the go shots with the included low profile and lightweight kit lens that offers surprisingly sharp photos with a very usable 24-60mm range.

Great full feature camera in a smaller frame
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up to do some random photography stuff and mostly as a replacement webcam for my stream setup. As far as photos go this can use all sony lenses so you can do basically any style photography you want by getting a lens for it and the full frame sensor will make it look amazing. Probably the best looking webcam I've ever used (went through 4 including some usb ones and a couple gopros). It has a standard mount for any tripod or desk mount you have. I got it on sale but after using it the camera is well worth it even at regular price. I would compare this to an a7iii or a7iv minus a couple features that only impact you if you sre more into the photography side and not the streaming cam side.

Excellent features, great photos, compact body
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for capturing photos and videos when your smart phone won't give you the image quality you want or need. My smart phone is great, super portable and easy to use, but it can't give me the image quality that I need during certain moments in my life. That's why I purchased this camera. It's compact size is no problem for my large hands even after carrying it for hours. I actually found the compact size to be a plus for my travel needs. The included lens does a great job. I did purchase a second, faster lens that was able to take better pictures in low light and get better depth of field. The camera is loaded with features, and SONY offers a downloadable manual that is packed with information to operate the camera. One caution with this camera and any non-point and shoot camera: It won't make you a professional photographer with professional results. You still need to understand basics of shooting and camera operation, and it also doesn't hurt to have a good eye for framing your subject and capturing the moment. But with the knowledge of how this camera operates and what lens is best suited for what you want out of your photos, you can get incredible results.

Best Compact Camera Period!!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had the chance to use the Sony A7C for my photography endeavors, and I must say it left quite an impression on me. As a photography enthusiast, here's my personal take on this compact full-frame mirrorless camera: Design & Build Quality: The A7C's design is simply fantastic. Its compact and lightweight body is a breath of fresh air, making it incredibly convenient for on-the-go photography. I was particularly impressed with its sturdiness and the premium feel of its build. The flip-out LCD screen adds flexibility to my shooting angles and is handy for vlogging or capturing creative shots. Image Quality: The A7C's 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor delivers outstanding image quality. The colors are vibrant, and the dynamic range is impressive. This camera's ability to handle low-light conditions amazed me – it's a real low-light champ. Plus, the real-time Eye Autofocus ensures that my subjects are consistently sharp and well-focused, which is a game-changer for portrait photography. Performance: The A7C is no slouch in the performance department. Its rapid burst rate is a boon for capturing fast-moving subjects. Whether it's wildlife, sports, or street photography, the camera's responsiveness and accuracy were a joy to work with. The 5-axis in-body image stabilization works like magic, delivering clear, blur-free images even at slower shutter speeds. Video Capabilities: As someone who occasionally dabbles in videography, I found the 4K video quality to be impressive. The real-time Eye Autofocus is a feature I love, ensuring that my video subjects remain in focus. The camera's flexibility with various picture profiles and settings enhances the creative potential for video projects. User Interface and Connectivity: I admit, the menu system can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get accustomed to it, it offers a world of customization and options. I loved using the touchscreen LCD and electronic viewfinder for composing and reviewing shots. The camera's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity made it easy to transfer files and control the camera remotely with the Sony app. Battery Life: Here's where I have a minor gripe with the A7C. The smaller battery means you may need to carry spares for extended shoots. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to keep in mind. In my personal experience, the Sony A7C is a remarkable camera that combines the power of full-frame photography with a compact, travel-friendly design. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, this camera has a lot to offer in terms of image quality, versatility, and convenience. While the battery life may require some planning, the overall experience I had with the A7C left me thoroughly impressed and eager to continue using it for my photography adventures.

Walked in to buy an a7iii, walked out with this
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You pretty much know all the pros and cons of this camera at this point after so many YT reviews. So I will be focusing on the actual experience I have, especially compare to A7III. First thing first, I have a relatively small hand and wearing glass. Below are my personal experience after playing with A7III and owning the A7C. --Handling is on point to me, even my pinky can fits onto the grip just fine. I can see the problem if you plan on using the GM lenses. --It is light, especially pairing with the kit lens. You WILL notice the weight different vs a7III w/ 28-70. --Yes, the EVF is small, but I can see the whole thing nice and clear with my glass on. I was having trouble seeing the whole EVF on the A7III. It was too big with a small eyecup so all the icons and settings on the edges were bury to me. --The 28-60 kit lens is very sharp! --No need to select focus points with real time tracking! --Almost every buttons are customizable, except menu, playback and shutter. --Flip screen is much more useful/fun than you think, even for stills. This camera is perfect if you want to travel light, pack light and mostly using a small lens. I wish there is a front dial and C1, C2 on the top plate, there is no reason not to have them on this camera. Other than that, I am very happy I picked this over a7III since size and weight are the reasons I interested in mirrorless in the first place. I highly recommend you play with both first before making the decision. They are very similar in spec but targeted at different group of people.

Camera is great for the job - have other concerns
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's compact full-frame mirrorless camera that offers excellent image quality and reliable autofocus performance. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for travel and everyday use. I use it for travel photography so I love that. I’m still exploring its full range of features to unlock its complete potential. However, I have concern over how it was delivered. I paid full price and when it arrived the box was not sealed and there was a chip on the outer side. I had to travel overseas the very next day so didn't had the time to take it up with best buy. Was it a open box used camera?
