    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.

    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

    A7C > A7iii, Lighter, Smaller, Better Software!

    |

    Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.

    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 :)

    A7C body only was not available at the store. I went to customer service and did an on-line purchase to be delivered to my home. Camera arrived on time last night. Opening the box and inspecting the camera this morning I noticed semi-circular score marks in the bay behind the flip out screen. The marks could most likely come from tilting and dragging either corner of the hinged side of the screen. I am guessing the camera was damaged at the factory, or I've been sold a used/refurbished unit and not a new camera for which I paid full price.

    Great mirrorless camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first sony camera and my first full frame camera and if im being honest it's a great camera. If you're not shooting video and just taking photos the battery life is good. The video quality is great and when you pair that with a great lens even better. It's not difficult to use and if you're a hybrid shooter (photo and video) then you should definitely check this camera out. just wanted to also mention that I dont have the silver version of this camera but I do have the black version.

    BEST ALL AROUND CAMERA

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Best camera hands down If you can only afford one lens get the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 it’ll be all you need for video and photo You get the 28, 35, 50, and 75mm focal lengths all at a sharp f2.8 The autofocus on this camera is insanely fast AND as a bonus when it comes to video you can adjust the autofocus speed which means when you have it at a low speed it’ll look like you’re naturally pulling focus giving you a clean cinematic look without the worry of mistakes It takes amazing video especially with the new color science Shoots up to 4K 24 (which is all you should be shooting in if it’s not slow motion) A lot of people like to complain that it doesn’t shoot 4k60 but that’s why they came out with the a7siii and let’s be honest 4K files are still super huge and take up a lot of space 24 frames is all you need right now and at 100M (you’re spoiled) But if you do want sexy slow mo it also shoots 120fps in Full HD :) The colors straight out of the camera are BEAUTIFUL 24mp FULL FRAME sensor The flippy screen every sony user’s been waiting for without the $4000 price tag of the a7siii And most of all the small form factor!! If you have the money, the Sony 35mm 1.8 is the perfect pair for this camera in terms of portability and sharpness and the quality you get from such a small package will leave you speechless! If you’re thinking about buying, buy it!

    Great camera, few flaws

    This is THE camera I will be recommending to new photographers who want to get into photography, sony, or just mirrorless in general if they don’t already have a more professional grade camera. The only flaws this camera has are the following. 1) Very small viewfinder (acceptable) with a non removable, shallow eyecup (not acceptable as the unit it is an upgrade from the a6400 has the same viewfinder with a removable eyecup in the same location) which makes it difficult to use in bright situations because of light getting in around the eyecup 2) Only one card slot. Not wise in a camera used for primarily weddings, graduations, or other one off events that can’t be reset if the card fails. Overall however it’s an amazing starting camera, better in almost all ways (except the two mentioned) over the a7III. Same Sensor, Same Battery, but better power management, unlimited video record time, better color science, and best of all no overheating. Well done.

    If you've owned the a6000 series or a fan of the Sony Alpha line, the A7C is the camera for you. I've owned the majority of the cameras and the A7C is a mash-up of an A6000 + A7 camera. The best of both worlds! Compact and puts out beautiful images. It's a great camera for traveling and blogging. It's also the perfect Sony Alpha camera for street photography so you can blend into your environment without being noticed. So far, this is my favorite Sony Camera, especially if you're talking about "bang for the buck".

    Full Frame pics, but with interchangeable lenses and better AF than A7iii it is based on, but with worse viewfinder and not having a 2nd SD card slot. Still, nice to have when you watch that extra bokeh or low light capability in a smaller and lighter package.

    As a professional cinematic vlogger, this camera is hands down my favorite purchase. It is so compact and light, while holding so much processing power. The quality is insane and I get asked what camera I use every video. It looks like real life. All the features work well and it never overheats, great for any hobbyist or small videographer.
