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.

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.

Perfect camera for my needs. Take most of my photos while traveling so this fit the bill for me perfectly. Went to the store expecting to purchase the more expensive A74 and saw this and changed my mind on the spot. I didn't even know it existed I was so focused on the latest and greatest. And I didn't need 45MP. 24 is fine for me. And I saved a few hundred dollars to boot. I view almost all of my shots on a computer. Feels compact but not too compact. I have medium-sized hands and skinny fingers so that may have something to do with it. It has a good weight to it. And it takes fantastic photos, even with the kit lens, though it really shines with higher quality glass. Looking forward to the next trip!

Great camera/ lens combo

Extremely compact lens and camera body with amazing quality. The camera was amazing to learn the ins and outs of photography. I bought this camera right before a road trip and was amazed by the amount of settings and capabilities such a small camera could possess. Shutter speed dial is a little odd but just press the bottom button on the thumb dial that’s facing you on the back of the camera and spin the dial, Other than that its a very nice camera i intend to use for a while. All the pictures uploaded were taken with this camera/ lens combo and edited in Lightroom.

Fantastic. This is my all-in-one body. I use it for youtube, I use it for instagram, I use it for tiktok, I use it professionally for headshots. I was torn between this and the a7iii and im really really happy i opted for this instead, particularly for my video making. I love this camera. Its lightweight, compact, and is very easy to navigate within the menus.

Best camera I’ve had since the first Canon SLR that shot video. The size is very compact and having a full frame sensor gives you the best photos. I love how Sony made the camera look vintage, like the Leica and Fujifilm “old school” look. People complain about Lety custom buttons but honestly with the exception of the front wheel for shutter speed it’s bit that big of deal. Pair it with the Sony hvl-f28rm flash and you get the best pictures!

As I researched a lot of youtube videos for my first mirrorless camera and my desire to video and take pictures, I decided on the Sony a7c. My wife liked it as well especially the form factor. It was also a Christmas present so glad it was in the price range.

Amazingly Portable Full Frame Camera

The a7C has been an awesome way to step into full frame shooting. It takes amazingly sharp pictures with the kit lens and with a Tamron lens I picked up it takes amazing portraits with bokeh. I am a big fan of this camera and I’m sure it will serve me for many years to come

A solid camera overall

A solid camera overall, the main selling point of the compact size comes at the expense of a comfortable grip. Added a leather half case to make it easier to hold but also added back some bulk.

The a7c is beautiful. The size is comparable to a point and shoot, not delicate or bulky. The display screen is easily accessible for front facing use. An off center view finder makes it easy to get close without pushing my nose onto the body of the camera, huge plus. To finish, the autofocus capabilities are intelligent - making the photos and videos more accurate to what I’m shooting.

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.

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.
