Sony a7c: Three years with the camera

I have had the Sony a7c FF mirrorless camera for 3 years. And I like it a lot! It is a very good camera, pleasant to use.




The best thing is the full frame sensor. Even though the sensor is rooted in the A7III (2018), its characteristics are still good. The resolution and the noise level are sufficient for most tasks.

The second best thing is the lack of a mirror, it is not an SLR. It is possible to mount a lot of lenses of different production time. Focusing via the display or the EVF is accurate. And there is an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with all lenses.

I like the look of the Sony a7c. It's closer to a rangefinder camera and doesn't look like an SLR with a pseudo-pentaprism cover. And the Sony a7c is quite compact for an FF camera.

The Sony a7c shoots a good 4K@24/25 video. And the recorded gyro data allows for strong video stabilization in post-production.

I am not considering about a new camera. The Sony a7cR is nice, but the sensor readout is too slow.

Overall, I would like to see a camera similar in size to the Sony a7c, but with a higher resolution sensor with a much faster readout. A global shutter is a dream, but today it is too expensive and worse in noise. And I want to a native low ISO (ISO50 or even lower).
