A Review of the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera

Though it is part of the highly popular a7 series, the Sony a7C is a distinct departure in design from the rest of the cameras in the lineup, packing a full frame sensor into a very compact and portable body. 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 The Hybrid Shooter, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Sony a7C mirrorless camera.  Despite its impressively compact size, the a7C still comes with a variety of modern, powerful features, including:

  • 24.2-megapixel Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor with 15 stops of dynamic range
  • Expanded ISO range of 50-204,800
  • Hybrid AF system with 693 phase-detection points (plus 425 contrast-detection points) with Real-time Eye AF and Tracking AF
  • 5-axis in-body image stabilization
  • Continuous burst rate of 10 fps
  • 4K video at 30 fps with 2.4x oversampling
  • Full HD 1080p video at up to 120 fps
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 
  • 3.0" vari-angle touchscreen LCD
  • OLED EVF with 2.36-million-dot resolution
  • 20% smaller and lighter than similar a7 series cameras
  • Magnesium alloy chassis with weather-sealing
  • Single SD card slot

The a7C's weak spot is definitely its single card slot, but beyond that, it looks like a well-rounded camera in a very portable body. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
