![]() ![]() I’ve been ok with this menu system but it sure does seem more organized when you pick up the newer generation cameras like the Sony A7IV.ĭespite these revisions, I think it’s cool to see that the technology is being pushed towards more compact cameras. It would have been nice to see an upgraded menu system on this camera but it still uses the semi disorganized menu of the Sony A7III. Obviously, a few choices and compromises had to be made to make it more compact such as fewer dials and one card slot. The Sony A7C is still fully featured despite being more compact. If you’re a full manual shooter you might be frustrated by this limitation but I think most people will be unencumbered.Īnother downside of the compact size is that the viewfinder is smaller and the back screen isn’t very forgiving in bright sun. I find myself having to either use Auto ISO or one of the other auto exposure modes like shutter/aperture priority. Since it doesn’t have three separate dials for shutter speed, aperture, and ISO it’s somewhat slower to use. Similar to the a6000 series it only has two dials. Obviously, it’s more compact so it won’t feel as substantial in your hands but it’s still adequate. Because of this, the Sony A7C makes a great backup camera.ĭespite the downsizing, it still has a nice grip and feel. It fits in super small bags especially when paired with a small prime lens. This camera is a smaller, more compact version of the very popular Sony A7III. The Sony A7C now has 3 custom shooting modes. ![]() Despite the limitations, I still think this camera is fully featured and capable of professional work. The viewfinder is now offset to the side of the body and has a smaller eyecup which makes composing your shot in bright sun a little more difficult. A little more resolution would be nice for checking sharpness and exposure. The back screen quality isn’t exceptional but it is adequate. Clearly this camera is targeted toward travelers and vloggers with its compact size and ease of recording selfie style videos. The Sony A7C now comes in two colors, black and silver, giving it a semi retro look if you’re into that. It also has a flip out screen and dedicated video record button on the top. It only offers one card slot, which stresses me out a little when it comes to having redundancy, but it has other improvements like a better touch screen. It makes a few sacrifices to save space but generally offers almost everything the Sony A7III offers but in a more compact body. Can we get everything we need in a smaller package?įortunately, despite its small size, the Sony A7C has a solid build quality, very similar to Sony A7III. For photographers who carry their gear on their backs for potentially long distances, that’s definitely something to pay attention to. The Sony A7C is one of the smallest and most compact full-frame cameras on the market. ![]()
