The Pros and Cons of the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera

The Sony a7C is sort of the odd duck out in the a7 line, with a significantly different design than other cameras such as the a7R IV. That means some good things and some drawbacks, and this great video review takes a look at 10 pros and cons of the camera. 

Coming to you from Arthur R, this fantastic video details 10 pros and cons of the Sony a7C mirrorless camera. The a7C is about 20% smaller and lighter than other a7 bodies, making it great for anyone needing a very portable solution. Beyond the small design, it comes with a variety of features, including:

  • 24.2-megapixel sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range
  • Extended ISO range of 50-204,800
  • 4K video at up to 30 fps (with 2.4x oversampling) and 1080p at up to 120 fps
  • 10 fps continuous burst rate
  • 693 phase-detection autofocus points (supplemented by 425 contrast-detection points) with Real-time Eye AF and Tracking AF
  • 5-axis in-body image stabilization
  • 0.39" OLED EVF (2.36-million-dot resolution)
  • 3.0" vari-angle touchscreen LCD
  • Magnesium alloy build with weather-sealing
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Single SD card slot with UHS-II support

Of course, the major limitation of the camera is the single card slot, but otherwise, it looks like a very well-balanced option. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
