Description

The Sony A7C Silver + Sony 28-60mm f/4-5.6 is a light and compact full frame mirrorless camera for advanced and professional photographers and videographers who travel frequently. With the versatile 28-60mm lens, you can photograph landscapes, street scenes, and portraits, among other things. The light-sensitive 24.2-megapixel full frame image sensor ensures detailed images. Aside from that, you can also record sharp and stable videos in 4K 30 fps. Thanks to the integrated image stabilization, you can make stable hand-held videos. The rotatable touch screen lets you photograph from difficult angles or record yourself while you're vlogging.

Autofocus

The camera has a large full frame sensor with 693 phase detection autofocus points that cover 93% of the entire screen. This way, you can easily and accurate focus on any part of the image. Quickly capture moments of action with 10 images per second. Thanks to the 4D-Focus, you can focus on moving objects fast. The camera follows the object and predicts the next action. With the Realtime Eye autofocus, the camera automatically focuses on the eyes of both humans and animals. Ideal for portrait photographers, or if you want to take photos of your pets.

4K video

With the A7C, you can record videos in 4K resolution. In this resolution, you record with 30 frames per second. Thanks to the full-pixel readout without pixel binning, you can use oversampling to reach a video quality that translates to a 6K image quality. This way, the A7C ensures sharp and clear videos.

Image stabilization

The A7C has integrated image stabilization that corrects up to 5 stops. This reduces motion blur. You can also take your photos hand-held for longer in twilight or dark locations. In addition, the stabilization ensures stable vlogs and fluid video recordings.

Small but brave!

  • Most compact FF system camera, ideal for travel.
  • Eye AF is great! What a beast!
  • Always 3 AF techniques available simultaneously.
  • Spartan on the custom buttons and no front dial

This is my new Go To camera: the camera I enjoy taking with me everywhere.

Compact with few concessions

  • Format
  • full frame
  • af/ef
  • Limited touch

A week ago I received the camera. When unboxing, the camera is immediately visible. The top is silver for me. In addition, the top was quite flat, which also contributes to the retro look of the camera. I mainly use the screen to control the cam, but in general it is also easy for me to use the evf. However, with the a7c, this is something that has not worked well until now. I may still have to get used to the system because of the short duration that I now have it at home. The screen is very nice, limited touch functionality + tilt and turn. This ensures that you can also easily film yourself, for example. The camera is fairly compact. However, it is ergonomically not optimal for my size hands. In a positive way, the camera doesn't need much more than it needs. There are no custom buttons, but you can, for example, set up the current button to your liking. It does take a little more time than when you do have these buttons because you now change the default buttons that you might want to use to something that you use more often. There is a separate button for film and photo. The kit lens of 28-60 fe4-5.6. Definitely fits the camera well. Of course, that also depends on your usage. But this one is well suited for a beginner/everyday use. Not too large a zoom, but a reasonably spacious image that is sufficiently sharp and with a pleasant weight and size. I have mainly used the camera on the highest setting 4k 25p 100 and I am very satisfied with this. Focusing the camera is easy as I have set it. You can also adjust this yourself. I haven't tested the focusing over the entire area of the sensor yet, but in the center it responds faster than I expected. It reacts quickly enough to be able to photograph my playing toddlers sharply. The stabilization was fine. The camera has more in it than I have been able to experience well so far, but so far I am well impressed. With the note of the evf.

compact but extremely powerful!

  • Compact camera and kit lens
  • full frame
  • Wi-Fi
  • Limited functionality to take pictures with smartphone

The Sony A7C is compact, powerful, but for me, above all, an incredibly versatile camera. What is striking, in addition to the small size, is that there are a lot of functions in the camera that provide you with all kinds of conveniences. For example, the autofocus is incredibly fast and can 'lock' on an object, after which you can move the camera and still focus on the desired object. This is especially useful for moving shoots. In addition, the WiFi connection with the iPhone (or Android, but I haven't tried it) is one of the functions that I use a lot outside. Quickly reviewing some photos on your mobile in between is a very nice function, but taking photos using your smartphone is still somewhat limited. The kit lens itself is mainly compact, but combined with the (extra) high ISO setting options, you have an enormous range in terms of versatility in the dark or with moving images.
