Sony a7C review: Compact size, big sensor image quality

 

Sony's a7C is among the smallest full-frame mirrorless cameras you can buy, and in terms of core capability, not much has been sacrificed for the sake of compactness. It makes a great travel camera but isn't as refine as the best of its rivals.

Sony a7C Review

 

Full-frame sensor in APS-C sized body ; 5-axis IBIS ; Forward-facing touch LCD ; Superlative tracking autofocus ; 10fps continuous drive ; 4K video with flat and HDR looks available ; Best-in-class battery life

EVF is on the small side ; Doesn't have Sony's new menu system ; Touch functions could be more robust ; Omits front command dial and focus joystick ; 4K tops out at 30fps

The Sony a7C is a slimmed down, full-frame camera built for travel, but its small size limits its versatility, and some aspects feel a little dated.

Sony A7C Review

 

Sony are attempting to turn the camera world on its head by creating a new 35mm full-frame camera that's the same size and weight as one with a smaller APS-C sensor. Have they succeeded with the new Sony A7C, and is it a great camera in its own right?...

Sony A7C Review: An ultra-portable full-frame ILC

 

The photography industry has changed dramatically since Sony launched the full-frame Alpha 7 series back in 2013. Over the past seven years, the general size and form factor of Sony's full frame mirrorless cameras has remained quite similar.

Sony A7C R review

 

It looks identical to the A7C II, but is there enough difference on the inside to justify the A7C R's position in the Sony range?

Review: Sony A7c | The World's Smallest In Its Class Sony a7c

 

Sony has shrunk its best all-round camera, with both positive and negative results.

Completely smooth image quality and best-in-class autofocus. Compact, light, fast, and solid quality with image stabilizer, and very good battery life.

Small viewfinder with moderate resolution. Strange placement of controls. Complex menus and limited video features.

Sony A7C review

 

The Alpha A7C is the smallest and lightest lens-swapping full-frame mirrorless camera, but it packs a bigger punch than its size would suggest.

Tiny and lightweight body ; Powerful 5-axis in-body image stabilization ; Excellent battery life ; Versatile AF modes ; Flexible LCD

Small EVF ; Lacks front dial and other controls ; Single memory-card slot

Most importantly, image quality and autofocus performance are both excellent — there's a lot to like here. It's not exactly cheap, but if you're looking for full-frame performance in a compact body, the A7C should be high up your wish list.

Sony A7C review

 

The Sony A7C has a radically different look compared to other A7 models, but there's a lot that's very familiar inside

Small(ish) body ; Excellent retracting lens ; Side-hinged vari-angle screen ; Autofocus performance

Unambitious video specs ; Unappealing silver and black finish ; Not especially cheap

The Sony A7C's specifications are unambitious to say the least, particularly in terms of its video capabilities, but its practical performance, from its handy vari-angle screen to its excellent AF system, make it effective enough as a camera. We will...

Sony A7C review: Tiny full-frame with compromises

 

A full-frame sensor in a compact rangefinder-style body offers an intriguing yet flawed proposition

Small size and low weight for a full-frame camera ; Handy vari-angle screen ; Decent ISO performance

Small viewfinder ; Ergonomics could be better ; Expensive compared to the Sony A7 IV

The Sony A7C is undoubtedly an able performer, and will produce photos and videos that the majority of users will be happy with, despite limited video specs. The camera is slightly smaller and considerably lighter than standard A-series models but it...
