Professional & Sponsorship Inquiries:
For professional and sponsorship inquiries, please email me at arthur2@live.com
Pros:
1. Small Size (positive if you wanna carry it in backpack, negative for pros)
2. Articulation Screen (for positioning your shots well and vertical shots of insta)
3. No record limit (for podcasts, interviews, live sessions)
4. No overheating (good for handheld vlogs)
5. Good Port Flaps (Weather sealed, can use it in rain, doesn't create noise)
6. A7siii Color Science (This is a must, no color grading for those who like it)
7. Eye Autofocus (This is a must)
8. Gyro Data (for Stabilization in post production for a little crop)
9. Simple Button Layout (which can also be a con as usually pros buy at this price range)
10. The shutter sound is awesome (personal preference of arthur)
Cons:
1. Small Grip (pros will have a hard time, nothing to worry about if you have a strap)
2. EVF is not good (not a problem if you are not using this for money making or vlog)
3. Max shutter is 1/4000sec (you can't shoot at noon and against the sun)
4. 1 SD card slot (not a problem for ameteurs, problem for wedding photographers)
5. No custom buttons (not a problem if you dont shoot weddings or in different lighting at once)
6. no 4k60 (not great if you make commercials and wedding vids, no problem for vlogs or etc)
7. Old Sensor (personal preference, nothing to worry about)
8. Old Menu (this is an inconvinience for everyone)
9. Rolling shutter (nobody notices this if its not exactly commercial video)
10. Overpriced (yes its 200$ overpriced, my personal opinion)
- So, for vloggers, get a 20mm 1.8 lens with this and you're good to go.
- for general people and one man army who just want a good full frame camera, go for it with the kit lens then buy a 20mm 1.8 or 85 mm 1.8 or 50 mm 1.8 as you start to know your preference and field of work.
- For commercial and wedding shooters who will color grade and use a gimbal and usually be standing behind the camera anyway, buy the a7iii instead. you will get a ton of mileage from that.
For vlogging I prefer the versatility of the 16-35mm f/4 though it's an additional $200. Well honestly for vlogging I wouldn't even use a mirrorless camera actually, would prefer an action camera since the stabilization is superior.
Whats your opinion on the Tamron 24-70 for portrait photography
Thank you kindly.
Max shutter is technically 1/2000 if you care about bokeh. Any faster than 1/2000 and your bokeh is cut in half.
@@professionalpotato4764 ?? I sometimes shoot at 16000 shutter speed , bokee is the same
I pretty much agree with everything you said about the A7C but I must point out the production quality of your reviews just keeps getting better and better, it's really nice.
Fantastic seeing you make the presentation outside. Great sound and a succinct to the point easily understood review, great job Arthur
Im looking into getting this as my first camera, this video has been really helpful. Thank you
Great video like always👍
Was waiting for your review
LOVE these photos of your family. Colors and sharpness and overal look is 11/10.
Love your reviews Arthur !
Appreciate your review. I’ll be buying the a7c soon to upgrade my vlogging with an iPhone.
Super helpful. I am tempted to cross over to the full frame side, and this has appeal to me as I do quite a bit of travel photography, so small is good. But... I love my a6600 so much! I upgraded to that from the a6000 and my shooting experience is so much nicer. And all my lenses are apsc. When/if I upgrade I also want more megapixels. For now I am content, your review helps. And snow shots in Texas! Fun.
Great review.
Great job. This is helping my purchasing decision.
The shutter sound is awesome. I really like it!
Amazing Work 👍
i love the video .
from where did you get the strap because i want to buy one :D
Great video as usual. Would you be doing a comparison video between the A7C and let's say the A6600/6400. I get that everyone says this is a A73 crammed in a smaller body with some improvements. However, imo I think this is more of a bridgegap between APSC to full frame. Which is what I'm looking to do. I currently have the A6600 and would love to see a video like this comparing likes dislikes between the two. I know video take time so I'd like any feedback you may provide.
Your illustration of the gyro stabilization starting at around 4:05, is very nice - the bottom frame showing you filming with A7C (and showing the amount of camera shake) adds perspective as to how much stabilization could be expected for the given amount of camera shake (which would not be conveyed if only the top left and top right frames [showing the unstabilized and gyro-stabilized footage] were included). One small piece of info missing from the details is what software was used to render this gyro-stabilized footage (Catalyst Browse? Anyway, I guess it may not matter too much).
The a7c is a good camera! I also have that camera. I'm excited because it's so light and compact. This video was very interesting! I will come to play again. With love from Japan :)
Very helpful review!! I have an A6500.- Have been looking into upgrading to A6600 or the A7C... Looks like I will standby, and await the following A7C mark II.- I do like the compact full frame camera, mainly for photography.
Just right into it. Thats awesome.
That's my next camera for sure...
Was it?
Great footage in the snow. btw: what Camera / lens is that (wife holding baby @3:05) ?
You make the best Sony videos bro keep it up
Great review! I’ve looked at this camera too and I also think the a6600 (which I currently own) has more features than the a7c. I do like the idea of a more compact full-frame camera, but Sony could have done just a bit more on this model.
I own both and one not mentioned often advantage for me is the three memory modes on the A7C as opposed to the two on the A6600. And AF for animal and human implimented.
This is a really well thought out video! Subbed!
I'm used to the EVF on the RX100mV... Do you think I'll be ok with this one?
As for $1400 for the A7C, I think that would only happen when A6600 is all sold out, discontinued and Sony made an A6800 in the size of the RX100 series ;-)
The lack of 4K 60FPS on the A7C is really what kept me from getting one...
I like choice! The nice thing about Sony's systems is there are a lot of options for people - sure to be something that works for almost everyone. For me it fell between the A6600 and the A7iii. Now, the problem with the A7iii for me is limited recording time. The a6600 is a popup screen but is an aps-c sensor. We are splitting hairs here, but if you are just starting out and want to have small setup for run and gun, this works perfectly. Now, you could wait for a7IV but I believe it is going to be about $2000 and will not be out for 3-6 more months. So, for me it is the perfect fit!
I bought one last year before Christmas. I have to say my favorite feature of A7c is the gyro stabilization which is super useful for me. I don't need to bring gimble with me when I go out with kids, I can just bring the camera and take photos and videos. This makes the usage rate a lot higher. I think it is super good for daily/travel use, especially with family. 😊
Yes, but even the A6600 has more features than the A7C
Thank you
I bought an A7C around Christmas time to "replace" the a6000 that my wife claimed as hers, and I must say I love it.
As always great review and video!
Rumour has it, this man is still walking to this day
hey Arthur, since you are the most important review channel for me, I just wantedd to ask if you maybe could do a video on the Pergear 10mm f8. Because it does look like a fun lens.
I've seen some reviews already but none of them showed really image quality :/
I love my ac7 +2860 kit lens :) Is so compact.
05:16 love how mirrorless cameras introduced that "shutter sound" when they came out 10 years ago, and now it's just something normal
I actually consider the use of an older sensor a plus, knowing already its limitations, pros and cons from reviews of previous users, while the new ones bring sometimes "surprises" that can make or break a camera.
Thank you for your honest opinion.
this guy is lowkey flexing his gimbal
Thanks for the info.
What mic are you using in this video
I don't see it in your list of gear
For the point with the shutter sound alone this video deserves a like :D Having a nice shutter sound is so satisfying and underrated :)
It would be better still if he had turned off the focus ‘beep’ for that part, though. That way we can hear the shutter sound without distractions.
Great video Arthur. Trying weigh the pros and
cons of these different Sony models. Right now
I am leaning toward the A7R III. I could get a used
one without a lens for close to what the A7C costs
The biggest question I have right now is when is
Sony going to finally release a new sensor and
deal with the rolling shutter problem.
they already did with a7s3 a1 the question is when will that trickle down to more affordable models - lets hope for a7iv 🙏
Very nice video. What PC do you recomend to edit this files?
nvme as main drive, at least 8core cpu & 32gb ram, check pugetsystems site for cpu performance charts, I personally look for live playback comparison charts as that's the most important performance indicator.
Thanks for setting me straight. I am thinking about selling the a7riii for the 7c. After watching this you convinced me to wait until they put 4k 60p in more of their FF line.
Great video as always Arthur! The A7C is my favorite camera, but your criticisms of it are completely valid. The EVF especially is egregious and I wish Sony had just dropped it entirely. I purchased the A7C for two reasons - the side-flipping screen, and USB-C charging. I use Sony's ECM-B1M hotshoe shotgun mic, so the upwards flipping screen of the A6000 line never worked for me, despite how much I love those cameras. I am however very surprised that USB-C wasn't listed as one of your positives. The fact that I can bring a single charger to top off my smartphone, laptop, and now camera, is a huge plus for me. I really hope that Sony releases a future A7CII with more improvements, but based on how negative people seem to be reacting to the first iteration, I'm less sure we will see a new revision. Its a shame, using this thing is a dream.
Good point! I never charge via USB, so thats why i didnt list it, but if you do, it is much nicer now.
Hey Arthur, unrelated question...
What bracelet are you using on your SKX? I want to swap my nato for a good one.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Damn, that's a good review. THANK'S
What a honest opinion about A7C . Im bit confused to buy this i am using 6300 but the vendor told me to buy A7iii instead of this. What a beautiful bokhe background in your video. Which camera and lense you have used for this video. Love from Pakistan
I want to learn proper photography someday but does A7C have a menu for dummies (while I learn)? A menu that lets me select pre-sets based on scenarios (e.g.portrait, night photography, fireworks, food, etc)?
I've had the Sony A7c for a while for photography and it's fallen more and more to my liking as time goes on, so I actually no longer use my Sony A9 and consider selling it.
The size is perfect for me and I love that the viewfinder puts in the side of the camera as I prefer that way of photographing. For the viewfinder I have bought an eyecup, and now the viewfinder has become really good to work with.
I absolutely love the Color Science, and now I often only photograph in jpg.
My only downside with the camera is that the LCD screen could well be more high resolution, but it is still possible to work with in most situations.
Regarding the smaller number of buttons and wheels on the camera compared to, for example, Sony A9, it is not a problem for me as I switched the buttons and wheels that are to the ones I use the most. I always use focus tracking, so I do not need a button / wheel to move focus around with, as I just lay the focus point with focus -tracking on the subject that should be in focus and then I can move the subject where I want in the viewfinder or on the screen. I think it's much faster that way too.
Many greetings
Jess
How do you feel about it now, after 2 years? Btw - any impressions on the A6700? I'm still deciding between the A7C and A6700 (i'm not a pro but want something solid for the next 5-7 years)
@@mr_ion It ended up with that I couldn't live with the poor EVF anyway, so I sold the camera
I’m on the fence on buying this one. The only thing I try to find out, is if you switch between video and M for stills, does it keep separate settings like shutterspeed for example? And in that case, does that also apply to the record button?
I always like your review of cameras and lens. Thank you. We film wedding's with a6600s #3 and I saw the a7c full frame. I think both cameras are enough for wedding video's. The reason we have two a7c are close up for the vow's, if I need to zoom in post it will look as good or better than the a6600. A6600 were on sale for $1000.00 a7c were $1500.00. Now getting lens that are 1.8 or 1.4 are a lot more than APSC. If we are filming a couple doing a love story-love walk, I will use three camera's and two GoPro's at the same time so they will only have to do that one time.
That info. I just have one question, what watch are you wearing? 😅
Making video comparison of tamron 17-70 mm & sigma trio
Been waiting for this one. 📷c
After this video I feel good about getting my a7c for $1,497. Heck of an upgrade for me coming from a6000 😉
Yes I sold my 6600 to get the a7c. It kills it in low light. With Tamron and Samyang making good lenses now. It amazing. Plus the gyro data works with steady shot on.
That's an huge upgrade. The price is right. Puts the A6600 to shame.
@@adisorpop what additional lenses do you recommend? I also bought 24-70mm f4 under $500. I still have the a6000 with 50mm 1.8 and two kit lenses 16-50 & 55-210
@@maf3695 I have the Tamron 28-200 f2.8-5.6 it’s very good all round and the Samyang 45 F1.8. Very happy with both. I will get the Samyang 18 f2.8 soon.
@@adisorpop ok thanks
Bigger sensor did need more support unit, single SD card slot did make a bit sense. The another is the shutter, compare to A7iii A7C only support electronic front curtain shutter. I totally agree they can just stolen EVF and grip from A6600, and just holding it for Mark II.
Thanks for this honest review! I’ve decided to move to FF from a LUMIX G9, Sony seems like the best system, but honestly other than AF and Low-light, the A7C if a huge downgrade from my G9. I guess I’ll have to pony-up for an A7SIII, or hold my breath for the A7IV.
if 12mp is okey for your photo needs then a7s3 is it, don't think a7iv will have anything new over a7s3 just more megapixels & no 4k120
Thanks for the info. I worried a bit about you walking backward toward all those cacti.
I sold our A6300 and A7II to go and get a pair of these A7C, best choice ever, al the benefits of APS-C with FF and the best vídeo of the lineup before buying an A7SIII. The tilting screen, AF and Gyro Data are the best features
Well it is a big step up from A7II. Why didn't you buy an A7III if I may ask? The weight?
@@jeroenvdw They are going to be used 90% for video and the A7C has better AF, color and has the gyro data so it has worse ergonomics for photos but better video, the size and weight are kind of irrelevant, also flip screen is better for gimbal use
I got one of these not too long ago for my work channel where I do longer recordings often and to use it for hobby times when lightmight be lower everynow and then. My choice were between this one and similar one from Panasonic. On paper Panasonic seemed better and still this one seemed to have better lense options and better autofokuss(which I mess up sometimes anyway). And what ever the downsides are it is one of best mainstream options to get into full frame cameras at this price range which is not cheap.
15:18 The biggest problem is the poor EVF (small 0.59 mag factor, low resolution, small eye cup). The mag factor needs to be at least 0.70x to bring it in line with the A6000 to A6600. For the Sony A7Cii I would expect they will have a larger EVF and use the higher resolution from the brand new A7iv
Hey! Awesome video! I just got this camera and I noticed that the lcd screen looks a little bit magenta on the highlights, the viewfinder looks normal and if I download the photos to the computer this is okay but on the lcd it’s quite bad… I sent it back and They sent me a second camera and it had the same problem… Sony says that “the colours of the lcd are like that” but I refuse to believe it… did you noticed anything like this? Nobody talks about it on the reviews and I think it’s quite notorious…
Props for nailing the exposure under that harsh sunlight.
Upgraded from a 7 yrs old Canon 6D to A7C sigma 24-70 2.8... it’s a big difference...lol. The auto focusing system is just night n day. I am still missing the old DSLR, mechanical movement on my old camera.
I'm using an A7R2 and I love my scroll wheels and custom buttons. I want to spend as little time in the menu as possible when I'm shooting.
Hello brother..a7r2 is good for photography...extremely lowlight excellent images quality results...i want used camera buy a7sii or a7r2...which camra body suggest me..please guide me
I bought my A6600 thank you video with EDU one year ago I really appreciated that video to take the best decision, I happy with my A6600 I don't plan to upgrade to Full frame less this camera is for me a joke of Sony, grip and view founder in a6600 is better that this, good detail video I keep it my APS-C camera.
A6600 is awesome! And a great deal with the EDU discount.
So am I. I also love traveling with this awesome camera. Having the sigma trio and my new fav lens the f2.8 16-55 G. Much more comfortable and fun to use.
After I heard of that there is no full mechanical shutter option, I decided to wait until a7iv is released
Went from a6000 to a6500 with the Sigma trio and just scored a used a7iii for $1200 and a used 24mm f1.4 G master for $750 locally!
That is a phenomenal deal for a 24 GM, well done!
As a A6400 owner I get wanting one of the full size A7s. I don't have any update urge from the A7c.
I have a6100 and a7c, My friend has a7r3. I think the high price of E-mount lenses is really troublesome. But excellent photos, videos, and focus. The Sony camera really impressed me so especially when I shooting at night.
Yes, some Sony lenses are expensive, but you should take a look at Tamron or Sigma. They are way cheaper and very light. I will soon buy alpha camera, I coming from Nikon environment, but, hell, Nikon have only 4-5 vario lenses with autofocus and half of them are way over my budjet, while for E-mount you have so much choices.
Nice, to the point...
You had me at the LS drifting in the snow
I’ve watched a lot of reviews on the A7c and everyone that says it’s max shutter speed is 1/4000 forgets to mention that in the silent mode, it goes up to 1/8000. And I thinks it solves the problem (at least for me) because I would only use such high speed when photographing with natural light.
Ive been vlogging with a GoPro and got the A7c to up my game. with the smallrig cage it makes it a lot easier to hold. I came down to two options the A7sIII and a cheap lens or a good lens and the A7c and I am happy with my choice.
doesn't the cage add significant weight to the package? are you using a handle or grip to hold the camera? I'm using the Sony tripod/remote handle with A7s3 (no cages)
@@mirrorlessny the cage is only 140g and I am using the joby 5k but I ordered a new head so I can use the arca swiss plate of the cage. I have a top handle that I take off when vlogging but use to get low shot and it’s super easy to put on and take off. Also I use the sennheiser mke 200
@@RyanOnTheLoose yea cage makes sense if you use various accessories + body protection, I'm trying to minimize weight A7S3 is a bit heavy, waiting on W2BT lav mic it's 90grams less on camera weight compared to picogear I'm using now :( ,,already found a light 60grams Artcise cb19 ball head
the shutter sound is similar to the nex-5
I like the A7c a lot, and like with all such products, it has got a bunch of compromises built-in, to get it to the current pricepoint. Going by the fact that the menu is the old one, I suspect this probably was slated to be released alongside the A73, as a more compact version, but then sat on their shelf. And the few additional stuff they just added in, via the newer firmware.
I personally think it is a real winner for a lot of folks, especially due to the fully articulating screen.....I wish my A7R4 came with a fully articulating screen. I would have gotten the A7C, if it came with a bit more resolution.....like say 36MP, but overall a good product for the price.
That shallow grip sealed its fate for me. I shall wait for the A7IV, I think it will be worth the wait.
I've noticed people trying to say this is more primarily for video than photography, I disagree. it's a great photography camera..I mainly use the screen rather than EVF it's good for me.
The number one reason to buy this camera is the catalyst browse stabilisation. Its almost gimbal quality and with the latest updates, you can just use any lens with it and get great videos!

My Sony A6600
Arthur what is your opinion of the A9?
Which camera and lens did you use for this video? Anyway I am so appreciate this quality.
Sony A6600 + Tamron 17-70 F2.8
Do you think it is worth to upgrade from a a6100 to the a7c now in early 2024? I would like to move to full frame but dont pay a lot for the body, and the a7cii is a lot of monye but the a7c is in myy budget kinda if i sell my a6100.
2:35 I feel like the most important question that I didn't see addressed in the comments is...why is there a sinking picnic table to pose on?
You are going to miss it when you send it back, you dont mention the updated usb-c port.
I got an insanely good deal for one for $700 basically brand new with accessories (cage etc.) which I wasn’t planning on buying but the price was good. After using it a little and doing research I’m actually considering letting my a7iii go to keep this. Before I used to not like the a7c but now I’m at odds
Once again you just proved yourself to me as an honest consumer reviewer, not showing too much love to this camera as we all expected more from Sony to do with that lovely old a7iii sensor even putting it in a compact body still we can see obvious crippled hammer trace here which is at the level of Canon for the first time! It's not a bad camera,its great if only had a reasonable price,for this price point it could have more features and specs indeed! Almost all pros vs a7iii are in the firmware only
What about the kit lens 28-60mm? Does the combo A7iii+sel2860 make sense?
Review coming soon!
Number 1 thing I hate about a7C is the size and number 2 is the articulate screen，number 3 is the small handgrip. Number 1 thing I like about the camera is it actually makes the a7R IV feels like a comfortable camera to shoot with.
Honestly I've been waffling about this camera ever since I heard about it. At first I thought it would be the perfect solution (I love the small aps-c camera I use today but REALLY would like the better low light capability of a Full Frame) but I have heard some negative things that made me hesitate. Now you've resolved it to a definite NO for me. I will keep my aps-c and perhaps one day they'll make an updated a7c where they have solved those issues. Well, one can dream, right?
I know, some of those snags are annoying. But there is that other thing, that the best camera is the one you have with you. And if you wait for another 3 Years till Sony gets around to make another smallish, accessible, reasonably priced camera, the drawbacks of waiting may be greater.
Just saying to take that into account.
@Builder that's a very good point 👍 I remember upgrading to a7iii from apsc & the improvements were noticeable, especially in low light, but at the same time if you are happy with what you got then maybe it's better to wait for next generation
Great review, I was close to buying this camera but with a 3 year old sensor, not having 2 sd slots, not having 3rd scroll wheel and custom buttons. I have to pass on this one.
I feel like its important to mention that mechanical shutter speed is 1/4000s, however using the electronic shutter (silent mode) brings you up to 1/8000s which has very little effect on the final image.
Hi, would you mind comparing A7C and ZV-E1. Thank in advance
The viewfinder is better for me as a glasses wearer. With glasses I can not see the edges of the frame on the A73. Overall, despite the negatives, I like it more than the A73 or the aps-c bodies I’ve owned.
please tell me, when switching from photo mode to video, exposure and other settings need to be constantly reconfigured (for example, shutter speed and picture profile) or can it be adjusted separately for video and separately for photo?
Hey guys, do you think sony will release a 4k60fps camera in the price range of a6600 soon ? I was interested about the a7c but has he said iam kind of disapointed that it does not have 60fps4k :/ I guess it is worthed to wait a little more
Just got A7C and the first thing I checked is EVF. To my surprise it was perfectly normal and perfect enough for photography. I am used to having A6500 and have RX100 VII. No complaints here. Waiting for the battery to charge, so I can take the first shots.
I agree. This viewfinder issue seems to put a lot of people off this camera, but I have no issues with using it.
I understand why they didn’t give it a bigger grip, with the body itself being a little thicker to pack in the full frame sensor they needed to cut somewhere to keep it compact. I personally would have rather had a thicker grip and front wheel. It would have been a very small difference in size but add more user comfort.
But with those upgrades, it’s just an a7iii. There would be no point to having the two cameras.
This would’ve been an instant buy for me if it had the grip and custom buttons of the a6600. Guess I’ll wait for the a7c II.
Right? Looks like I'll wait for the a7iv
Add some pro lenses to your arsenal and the size/weight/cost/performance equation favors the a7III for around or under $1700 US. Historically crop bodies with APS-C lenses were less expensive but no longer. Full frame e-mount lenses from Tamron, Sigma, Rokinon/Samyang and Viltrox put full frame performance in a superior competitive advantage with crop sensor bodies/lenses. For casual shooting crop bodies are just fine but so are cell phones. When you need the extra horsepower full frame provides a huge advantage and the a7III is the better option.
