Sony Alpha 7 C Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera (Compact and Lightweight, Real-time Autofocus System, 24.2 Megapixels, 5-Axis Stabilisation System, Large Battery Capacity) - Silver

Product Information

The a7C's video quality is excellent, and the high-quality video capabilities add strongly to the overall value of this small, budget-friendly full-frame camera model. It’s paired with the same Bionz X processor as used by the high-end Alpha 7R IV, which supports shooting at 10 frames per second with a 115-frame raw buffer, or 8fps with live view between frames. All of Sony’s class-leading AI-based autofocus technologies are on board, including Real-time Eye AF and Real-Time Tracking. Sony has included both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connection to your smartphone via the free Imaging Edge Mobile app for Android and iOS.

To compare the Sony a7C with many more camera models, use the site's camera body comparison tool (a7C vs. effective-megapixel image sensor that can record up to 4K 60p/50p movies as well as capture high-quality stills, it’s the essential tool for hybrid shooters. While this LCD can be used for touch AF point selection when the rear LCD is active and touch and drag AF point selection when the EVF is in use, those functions are the limit of its touch capabilities. Enjoy even more stable handheld shooting for stills, thanks to the α7C II’s high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms that effectively correct 7.

The Sony RAW-captured noise test images utilized the "Uncompressed" RAW setting and were processed in Capture One with the Natural Clarity Method and the sharpening amount set to 30 (low). Large-aperture lenses, narrow depth of field, and bokeh can be used to create striking images, and advanced AF functions such as Eye AF support online meetings and live streaming events. ISO 102400 and 204800 are available, and while they sound amazing, if your only option is to use these settings, consider packing up and going home. Instead, the touch interface is limited to specifying the focus area and magnifying the image in playback. Those acclimated to the prior Sony full-frame alpha models will, like me, need to re-learn where to put their eye (to the upper-left corner vs.

Especially nice is being able to touch the LCD to change AF points during video recording when using the rear LCD. About and Intro Over the last few weeks, I’ve tested two new Sirui Nightwalker Cine lenses with the Panasonic G9II and GH6. Unlike the higher-end A7-series and A9-series, there are not as many “C1” etc buttons, and there is no front command dial or AF point control joystick. megapixel full-frame sensors are everywhere these days, and for years they’ve all been excellent, offering amazing dynamic range, impressively low noise levels all the way up to ISOs as high as 6400 or even 12800 for professional work, or maybe ISO 25600 for more casual (or emergency) shooting conditions. Notice the common-to-Sony moiré (influenced by the Capture One software conversion) showing in the a7 III results.The colors coming from the Sony A7C sensor are beautiful if you happen to shoot JPG, and quite decent if you are working with raw files in Adobe Lightroom. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favourite scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software. Made obvious in the top view comparison included again above, the a7C grip size is considerably smaller than the a7 III grip.

Bigger sensors create better images, and the α7C's full-frame sensor is much larger than the sensors in smartphones, compact digital cameras and similar-sized APS-C interchangeable-lens cameras. I needed a small and reliable camera to shoot my videos out in the park, which can sometimes present unpredictable lighting conditions. A digital audio interface has been added to the camera’s Multi Interface (MI) Shoe, allowing the ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit to be connected to input digital audio signals directly to the MI shoe for cleaner, clearer audio recordings. For example, I don’t love how small the Grip is due to the size of my hands, and I find it far less comfortable and robust than other offerings, even from Sony. As it approaches its 1-year birthday, the Sony A7C is still one of the best full-frame mirrorless cameras available.The No Picture Profile is right up there, with the Panasonic Natural Profile as one of the best I have ever used.
