One thing to note about the A7C and its shutter speed is that with Silent Shooting Mode turned off, the max limit is 1/4000 but if you turn on Silent Mode it goes up to a max of 1/8000 which now helps under heavy bright light situations. Hope that helps others make a more definitive purchase against the two cameras :).
If you're into VIDEO = a7c - Unlimited recording - Flip screen - Polished Auto Focus - Light & compact for small gimbals If you're into PHOTOS = a7iii - Custom buttons (saves time) - Front and rear command dials - AF joystick - Larger viewfinder panel - Double slot cards
About the only thing you mentioned that i see as useful in my use that i actually like and would make use of is the selectable autofocus colors. Deeper buffer ..... meh , faster transfer again ..... meh , handy if you actually make use them perhaps , none of those items you mentioned would i bother looking to get rid of my A73 for .
@@mikldude9376 those things I mentioned are an addition to the many things already mentioned in the vid. I'v always wanted a smaller full frame body than my A7RII. The A7c just what I'm looking for.
I watched this video a year ago, and it really made a difference on why I picked to buy the 7C. Thank you Zy, your video was right on the money and it gave way more information than I've seen anywhere else :)
Price is market dependent. Here A7C is $500 more than A7III; or for A7C body only with flip screen and single card slot, one gets A7III with dual card slots with faster shutter and f1.8 35mm or 50mm lens. That's why online reviews are not clear cut, because the value proposition doesn't seem to be there for everyone.
The one (and most) important difference for video is : the a7c includes the stabilizator of (ASiii, zv-1) so you just "turn off" your -in body stabilizator- and then in post you can use the free "catalyst browse" software from sony with excelent performance.
why is it so imprtant ? what is the main reason for using this stab on post by gyro data raher using main InBodyStab ? Does it work more accurete ? more settings and you can tweak it better ? i wached a couple of tests on youtube and cant really find out something outstanding i was trying to imagine a real case it can be the right and the only tool to make job done it is when you using kind of two weel gyroscooter and a mechanical stab system standing on it.... cause there is a theory that electronic mothorized gimbal dosent handle this sittuation very good ( it was so a few years ago anyway) ...stop....what am i tallking about.... u can still use IBIS.... so what are the scenarios to use this stab-on-post feature ?
a7III would be my choice, atleast for photography. Video wise the flip screen of the a7C is nicer plus unlimited recording. But other than that I like the a7iii!
They replaced the shutter mechanism because it has been well documented that the A7III shutter fails/failed very frequently, sometimes just after a couple thousand of shots.
I always liked Sony a6xxx build factor. It reminds me of my Olympus 35 rangefinder. And I always wondered if ever Sony will have a full frame with a6xxx body form factor. If not for the amateurish screen monitor the Sony A7C would have been that camera.
I think it's important to note you can set other buttons/ arrows to certain functions on the A7C so even if it has less specifically custom buttons, you can still get more customization if needed.
ive been going back and forth on these two for a while but this is the first video that ive seen that showed the difference in color to be less magenta and more green which is much better in my opinion. Thank you. Sony's skin tones have been a concern but i can handle that look.
I wish to upgrade from a Canon M50, but I don't see myself using a camera that does not have a flip out touchscreen, the A7C seems to be the more similar of the 2 when it comes to weight, form factor and screen. But the price is soooo similar that I don't know, maybe it's better to get the A7iii because of the extra controls, but I've been using the M50 so i might not actually need all the extra dials and buttons. I shoot astro photography in some occasions.
I'm so pleased with my A7III and now that I do need a second camera, I'm skipping the A6600 that was my first choice for several months back, was just waiting to collect the money. But now I believe I'll wait for the A7-IV, seems like it's around the corner.
Yes i like my A73 too , even with its one or two little quirks , the lack of touch screen functionality other than focus still annoys me to this day :) , and while the menu system used to annoy me a bit , i have learned the basics and become accustomed to it now . My only one real thought that could be considered a downside to the A73 is the lack of water resistance . I would hope sony will at least improve this area with the A74 .
I cant do this anymore. I watched hundreds of comparisons of these two cameras already in order to decide which to buy. I go with the A7C because of the more pleasing shutter sound 😂
😂😂 At least you made a decision. I'm still watching videos lol. I was really leaning towards the a6600 or a7iii, but I keep looking at Canons 😩🤦🏽♀️. Too many to choose from.
Missed the most important factor; the improved IBIS. So far only TH-camrs have really cared about Sony entry level full frame for video work. For anything in the field, especially because the Fujifilm weather sealing is so much better, the IBIS on the A7III is terrible when compared to the Fujifilm X-T4. Sony was only "slightly behind" in numerical stop terms, but the planar distortion put it far behind because the sensor size is a big part of determining it. The A7C is much more usable and really is the first full frame camera around the $2000 price area that can almost match the X-T4, and beating the Z6II.
I like the stiling of the Sony A7c very much with the EVF out to the very side of the camera, I hope that all future A7/A9 Sony cameras will have this design, but with larger EVF in higher resolution.
In Germany, the A7C retails for 2100€, the A7 III for 1900€. So there is that. The A7 III is for professional work with double SD, usable viewfinder, customizable buttons, AF joystick, a bigger grip, faster shutter speed and efc turned off (efc turned on hurts the bokeh on fast lenses). The A7C is geared towards enthusiasts and more video oriented people.
Same here. Has to do with the tax that the EU charges for cameras with an unlimited record time. Those are considered video cameras and are in a higher tax class. €2100 is a lot of money, the A7iii body retails for 1999 here. So not a lot of difference. The dealbreaker on the A7iii was and is the flipscreen. That's why I went with the Panasonic GH5. After using it for about a year and a half, I'm tired of the autofocus not working and need something more reliable for the content I produce.
@@Adventurist As I said, that are features geared towards video people and the A7C is a better video camera. But, gyro stabilization is a false prophet on the A7C. For it to work, you have to disable all internal/digital stabilization. That means heavy shakes in the footage in a camera with bad rolling shutter. Shaky footage has usually tons of rolling shutter problems and gyro data can’t correct for that, only for the motion itself. Therefore, you probably have a lot of artifacts afterwards. That is not a problem on the A7s III and ZV-1, which both have almost no rolling shutter and also gyro data. I wouldn‘t count on that too much on the A7C.
I dont know about the c , but i remember someone commenting the A73 has 120 hz refresh rate in the view finder , apparently not all cameras have this refresh rate ? no one ever mentions it anyway .
The C has a coldshoe that excepts the new digital mic - so no mic jack lead is needed - I think it also has better battery life and can charge the battery while using.
I could not figure out how i can activate in the menue the eye Af during monitoring via hdmi monitor. In the record mode my screen on the a7c turns black and i see only the video in the monitor. Hm, what is the trick to see the video on the screen and on the monitor during in the recording mode?
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?
*Is A7C competitive in terms of TH-cam quality compared to A7s3 and A7IV?* I’m looking at buying my first camera for TH-cam, Zoom, Twitch and general social media. I think I would get a G: f1.8 - 20mm lens. I would just use the screen for taking photo’s don’t care about EVF as much. *Will this camera hold up for 5 years?* I just don’t want to spend so much money, especially when I’m buying a shure Mv7 microphone, lighting, and a tripod. *What is and How much is that gimble you had on the A7c?* Cheers I would be using Davinci Resolve (just the free version and chucking a LUT over the s-log footage).
at my country, A7C are higher price compare to A7iii. I don't know is about A7iii price are drop or they make A7C expensive because of brand new launch camera..
If I had to choose only for photography and not video..which camera is preferred... also I want to travel light coming from Canon 7dmii??? Kindly help me to choose between these 2... should not compromise on picture quality though
Can someone be so kind to please explain me the point 9. eye-tracking af when monitoring via hdmi? Does it mean that it performs better regarding autofocus when it comes to make youtube videos, content creation and so on and you use clean hdmi out?
The a7C is definitely on my wish list. I hope that they have a battery grip for sale, because I know that with my huge hands I will have to get one. Great review...as always.
Love my A7c. Keep the kit lens on there, you've got a 28/F4 pancake equipped full frame camera... masquerading as a point and shoot. You can literally hang it off a wrist strap and go hoof it through the city no problem. Swap the kit lens out for proper glass and get down to actual shooting too. I hang it by my keys and head out with it every day. Definitely couldn't do that with my chonky DSLR.
Your English is very good, very detailed compared to other youtubers, others spot only 3-4 differences but you spot 16! Well done! Great job keep up the good work!
I have A7ii now and considering upgrading since the A7ii in video doesn’t have a good autofocus it is horrible when it comes to that the question is should i get A7C as a second camera for video and i keep A7ii for only photography or i better sell my A7ii and i upgrade to A7iii⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I read on a website that A7iii has a setting for distortion compensation. I cannot find this on my A7C, and wonder if this is indeed a feature of A7iii?
What a great video! This is exactly what I needed since my mic jack just broke on my A7III and am now considering buying the A7C as a B-cam, which then maybe might become my A-cam for videos. Is the mic jack just as flimsy on the A7C as it was on the A7III? Or do you think I should save up some more money and go for the A7SIII?
That's the reason the X-T4 comes with the USB-C adapter (the vertical grip has headphone out though) because USB-C is rated for 300,000 plug/unplug ops while minijack only 50,000. Just get an X-T4 if all you do is video, better IBIS, much better weather sealing, longer lifetime shutter, more video capabilities. Have to buy an expensive lens to get the same focus capability though, which is the big downside.
Don’t know about the mic jack but the IBIS on a7c is totally useless for video. All footages are shaking like hell unfortunately. Does anyone know if there is any difference between the two in terms video stabilization?!🙏
I heard that when you attach an oss lens to the a7c the ibis turns off insead of complementing the optical stabilization. Is this true for both photos and videos? PLS ANSWER I’M CONSIDERING THIS PURCHASE
Good night! I had a slight impression that in the color science part (where you used iso 102,400) it seems that the a7 III is sharper. can you confirm this friend?
I bought the Sony A7III a week ago and never used it. I am planning to return it because I heard a lot of them will get a broken shutter. Now I am thinking to get the A7C but I heard it doesn’t have such a good image stabilization. I don’t know what to do.
Hey I have a question, I am a beginner videographer who will like to use this camera for nature vlogging. Can you recommend a lens kit that I can use if I had to buy just one as a beginner? Thanks in advance I look forward to hearing from you.
A nice video so thank you but the second you start to use any kind of good big lenses then well over 50% of those differences disappear, then most of the other differences are just software tweaks that Sony could have done with the A7iii if they wanted. I still think this camera is a massive waste of Sony's money and resources. They could have cut the price of the A7iii, brought a big firmware update to it or even put all that energy into bringing the A7iv out sooner. The only way I would have said there was room for this camera would have been if it was $500+ cheaper than the A7iii, not pretty much the same price when you find a good offer on the the A7iii.
I’ve been debating 3 options as my second camera. Another A7iii, A7riii, or the A7C. I am leaning towards the A7Riii and A7C over getting another A7iii, because I would like to have consistency in my images, but new advantages to play around with. A7C is small, has a better flip out screen, but dropped the front aperture dial, which would be very odd shooting on manual. A7riii has some nice megapixels which I would just use for digital cropping freedom, and a very familiar form factor, but is still kind of expensive. I’m at a loss on which one to go with. I want to get into wedding photography and run 2 cameras. Anyone have any advice?
In my opinion it is not an upgrade, it is an a73-light for videocentric people. Photographers have nothing to gain from this camera,only to loose. So if you want a videocamera a7c, if you are a photgrapher a73.
Great vid thanks, I'm pretty much decided on the a7c. A7iii new doesn't look like a good buy. Just need to start researching lenses now which seems far more daunting 😂
I can't seem to change aspect ratios in video on the A7C.. it's stuck at 16:9. The stills mode aspect ratios are available. Probably not user error.. since I own an A7iii & a A6400. Anybody else have this issue?

Hi. Can you share some footages in S-Log or HLG with a face in the frame?
Why do Sony cameras (other than A7C) make you format memory cards when switching NTSC to PAL frame rates?
I read on a website that A7iii has a setting for distortion compensation. I cannot find this on my A7C, and wonder if this is indeed a feature of A7iii?
Thanks for the great video and info. You put a lot of thought into it
This video was very helpful! Thank you!
Great overview, thank you!
Wish sony would bring the minor software upgrades to the a73 firmware :/
RX0 ii also can be used with the gyro data and catalyst
Great review mate, really good quality
What a great video! This is exactly what I needed since my mic jack just broke on my A7III and am now considering buying the A7C as a B-cam, which then maybe might become my A-cam for videos.
Is the mic jack just as flimsy on the A7C as it was on the A7III?
Or do you think I should save up some more money and go for the A7SIII?
The A7iii mic port breaking is a known issue. Not sure if it's "fixed" on the A7C tho.
That's the reason the X-T4 comes with the USB-C adapter (the vertical grip has headphone out though) because USB-C is rated for 300,000 plug/unplug ops while minijack only 50,000. Just get an X-T4 if all you do is video, better IBIS, much better weather sealing, longer lifetime shutter, more video capabilities. Have to buy an expensive lens to get the same focus capability though, which is the big downside.
Don’t know about the mic jack but the IBIS on a7c is totally useless for video. All footages are shaking like hell unfortunately. Does anyone know if there is any difference between the two in terms video stabilization?!🙏
Great review
I heard that when you attach an oss lens to the a7c the ibis turns off insead of complementing the optical stabilization. Is this true for both photos and videos?
PLS ANSWER I’M CONSIDERING THIS PURCHASE
?
Good night!
I had a slight impression that in the color science part (where you used iso 102,400) it seems that the a7 III is sharper.
can you confirm this friend?
Thanks, I got great value out of this video
I bought the Sony A7III a week ago and never used it. I am planning to return it because I heard a lot of them will get a broken shutter. Now I am thinking to get the A7C but I heard it doesn’t have such a good image stabilization. I don’t know what to do.
wait for the A7 IV in fall
Super helpful. Thanks Man
Hey I have a question, I am a beginner videographer who will like to use this camera for nature vlogging. Can you recommend a lens kit that I can use if I had to buy just one as a beginner? Thanks in advance I look forward to hearing from you.
A nice video so thank you but the second you start to use any kind of good big lenses then well over 50% of those differences disappear, then most of the other differences are just software tweaks that Sony could have done with the A7iii if they wanted.
I still think this camera is a massive waste of Sony's money and resources. They could have cut the price of the A7iii, brought a big firmware update to it or even put all that energy into bringing the A7iv out sooner.
The only way I would have said there was room for this camera would have been if it was $500+ cheaper than the A7iii, not pretty much the same price when you find a good offer on the the A7iii.
well done, good video!
Good review, thank you!
Cool video thanks for sharing
I’ve been debating 3 options as my second camera. Another A7iii, A7riii, or the A7C. I am leaning towards the A7Riii and A7C over getting another A7iii, because I would like to have consistency in my images, but new advantages to play around with. A7C is small, has a better flip out screen, but dropped the front aperture dial, which would be very odd shooting on manual. A7riii has some nice megapixels which I would just use for digital cropping freedom, and a very familiar form factor, but is still kind of expensive. I’m at a loss on which one to go with. I want to get into wedding photography and run 2 cameras. Anyone have any advice?
if you are using silent shutter mode (fully electronic), then a7c does support 1/8000 shutter speed yeah?
Why the shutter speed difference? And why they removed the custom buttons? It would make a hit
In my opinion it is not an upgrade, it is an a73-light for videocentric people.
Photographers have nothing to gain from this camera,only to loose.
So if you want a videocamera a7c, if you are a photgrapher a73.
1:34 That's one of the main reasons I can't wait to get this camera. 😊
Great vid thanks, I'm pretty much decided on the a7c. A7iii new doesn't look like a good buy. Just need to start researching lenses now which seems far more daunting 😂
The custom buttons and the front shutterspeed/ iris dial on the a7iii make it far superior.
I can't seem to change aspect ratios in video on the A7C.. it's stuck at 16:9.
The stills mode aspect ratios are available.
Probably not user error.. since I own an A7iii & a A6400.
Anybody else have this issue?
Anyone knows if shooting Super35 on A7C is alright? I mean quality wise?
Amazing Work 👍
Well done!
