Compact and Powerful: A Review of Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera

The Sony a7C is the latest camera in Sony's highly popular and respected line of mirrorless cameras, and it is quite a departure in design from previous cameras in the series. This great video review takes a look at the camera and the kind of performance you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Think Media, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Sony a7C mirrorless camera. With a 20% percent smaller form factor than other a7 series cameras, the a7C looks a lot more like an a6000 series body. Nonetheless, it still offers a wide variety of features, including:

  • 24.2-megapixel sensor with up to 15 stops of dynamic range
  • Extended ISO range of 50-204,800
  • 4K 30p video with 2.4x oversampling
  • 1080p video as high as 120 fps
  • 10 fps continuous burst rate
  • AF system featuring 693 phase-detection points and 425 contrast-detection points
  • OLED EVF with 2.36-million-dot resolution
  • 3.0-inch vari-angle rear LCD touchscreen
  • In-body image stabilization on five separate axes
  • Real-time Eye AF and Tracking AF
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis
  • Single UHS-II SD card slot

Though there is the drawback of the single card slot, the a7C otherwise looks to be a very portable and capable camera. Check out the video above for the full review.

That doesn’t look compact at all, I’ll stay with m4/3 where lenses are actually compact and you get a true small system. Where you can grab a true small camera bag, body two lenses and be comfortable all day.

Amen

I would love to own this camera. Wish I could afford one to replace my a7.
