    Thanks for the comparison! I went with the A7iii because I'll be shooting more photography (75% photography/ 25% video). I personally like the bigger body not only for the extra controls & joystick but for the feel. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

    Purchasing the Tamron 28-75 was a game changer for me. I LOVE that lens. I ended up buying the sister lens as well 17-28/f2.8 and now I’m pretty much set for any video I want to make on my channel. Thanks for this review! I own the A7III and the a6500 as my CAM B and I’m thinking about getting the A7C to use as my main camera and have my A7III be my cam B now. That flip screen, and endless recording is what’s up. Plus, the price is easier on my wallet vs the A7sIV? SIII? I get the names mixed up but the new one that just came out with the flip screen as well.

This is now about inexperienced light setup because you do not only shoot with professional light setup… yes with a pro setup there are no issues because the lighting is perfect then. But when the light is not optimal (let’s say a wedding party) skin tones geht yellowish sometimes.
      And the A7C is not a camera vor video at all… it is the a7iii with new color science and new AF in a compact body. That’s it. It is just compact and everybody that complains about Form factor or Button really has no clue. The name says it all A7C = A7 compact!!!

      I disagree. The a7c is a great photo camera as well. The autofocus is also better in photos not only in videos. The flipscreen allow me to take great photos as well as the evf on the left side. I don’t like evf in the center. The a7c is much more lightweight so i can bring it everywhere. For the grip it is ok. If i want perfect grip for videos i can add smallrig 3212 which add an better handle grip and multiple attachment for monitor and side/top handles. A7c photos are beautiful. We are very happy. And i use it 70/30 photo/video. The flipscreen is important for portait photo.

    Hey Dan, I am considering the sony system primarily because of these amazing Tamron (great value) lenses. My question is, I was looking at getting a a7c with the Tamron 17-28 and 70-180 lens. Will the grip/handling of the camera be an issue ?

    • @learningcameras
      @learningcameras  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! Definitely agree. So the 17-28 is no problem at all with the A7C. The 70-180 might be a bit awkward and front heavy but I certainly wouldn't qualify it as an issue. But if your shooting for a long period you might feel your hand cramp up a bit since it doesn't have a full grip. But either way I think you'd be good

    Should I Get this if I'm upgrading from a Canon 7d Mark ii? I'm looking to upgrade to something better on the video end, however, most of my work is photography work. I will be in a photo studio or shooting natural light and will only once in a while do video for social media.

    • @learningcameras
      @learningcameras  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      So it's definitely an upgrade photo wise from the 7D2 but most of the reason to get the A7c would be if you want a better camera for video AND want a Sony AND want something crazy small under $2000. If any of those are not you, there might be a better option

I did finalised Nikon D750 however it seems there are good options in mirrorless camera like nikon Z6 and sony A7 lll . I am happy to change the brand but I am looking to buy best options in limited budget. My budget is around 2500$.

      Hey! So since you are already shooting Nikon, I would highly recommend the Nikon Z6. The A7III is great but it is about 3 years old so the Z6 is still doing well thanks to a few firmware updates. I'm sure a new Sony A7IV will be better but until we see it, the Z6 is awesome and on a great sale: bhpho.to/3aS8Yes

    Hi Dan, I am a new Sony mirrorless user. My new A7iii arrived yesterday and I must say, I am impressed. I have a question about Picture Profiles. I have a question in regards to Picture Profiles. I have other Sony video equipment I use for work. I am a big user of PP10 HLG. Silly question, but going to ask. When in Video mode on the A7iii, I have set the profile to PP10. When switching back to Aperture Priority I noticed the Picture Profile seems to stay as PP10. Is this profile applying to my photography or just video? Cheers WMV

    • @learningcameras
      @learningcameras  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey!!! Awesome! So, in theory, the picture profiles ONLY affect video and jpeg files (they will affect jpeg files though so be careful). However, there is 1 setting in the picture profiles that can minorly affect RAW files and I believe it is one of the GAMMA settings. I unfortunately don't remember exactly which one but in most cases picture profiles don't affect RAW photos

    I’m not truly sold on the a7C, it’s basically the same price as the a7III but without the controls. I prefer the two dials, the extra programable buttons, the dual cards, the EVF in the middle, the screen works good enough. The a7C isn’t quite there. I have the a6600 which I use on a gimbal most of the time. And I wanted an APSC for the extra reach when out at the track, and it’s a great small camera to vacation with. (10-18, Sigma 16mm f1.4, and the Sony 35mm f1.8 are all pretty small and produce great street photos and video).
    Personally, I’m waiting for the a7IV hoping it will naturally pair with the a7SIII which I have coming soon.
    But in reality, they are all great cameras!!

The comparative size and weight difference between the two cameras with the Tamron attached is really not all that great.
