It has always been said that Sony will include a full-frame photoreceptor in its APS-C body design, highlighting the advantages of the absence of a mirror. Everyone has finally waited. Sony has officially launched the A7C today. Together with the new FE2860 lens, it is paired with the world’s smallest and lightest interchangeable lens and reversible-free full-frame anti-shake unit. Sony Hong Kong also arranged for us to experience this A7c first. Let me share some thoughts with you below.
When I saw the A7C for the first time, I would mistake it for an APS-C model like the A6600, because it is also the first time that Sony has added a silver option to the FF camera. The top design of the camera is also very similar. There is a mode and exposure dial on top of the flat camera, as well as a shutter and a large record button. This follows Sony’s improved design for recording purposes. The later design of the machine is similar to the previous ZV-1, with a 3-inch side-opening display, buttons, and scroll wheel operation, but the A7c adds an EVF and a second scroll wheel.

After playing around with it, I found that the A7C’s operability is relatively inferior to other FF predecessors in the same door, due to its small number of keys, not to mention the cross keys commonly used by professionals. But for editors who are used to the old A7S II and RX100 V, the similar design equates to lower learning costs, is that a good thing? Most puzzling, though, is the latest full-frame mirrorless camera. The A7c operating interface did not follow in the footsteps of the A7S III. It is still the previous version of the interface. Is it really a full touch screen? It is?
It is the lightest FF camera in the world The body of the A7C weighs only 509g, which is only 6g heavier than the A6600. The handle part also uses a long-lasting Z-type battery, so it is a certain size, which gives a good grip. What’s more special is that the SD card slot is moved from the battery compartment to the left side of the fuselage, probably for your convenience when changing the card. A7C has only one SDXC card slot, which supports the highest UHS-II specification. The I / O part is also complete, with headphones, microphones, micro HDMI and USB-C for charging and data ports.
Sony said that A7C is for content creators. The suffix in the name means Compact. The reason is that what this group wants is not a great dominant camera to show off, but an efficient and lightweight tool to get the job done. . So the A7C is like a lighter and more versatile A7 III or an improved A6600. Overall, the height of the A7C is slightly higher than the A6600, but slightly shorter than the A7 III with the warship deducted. The thickness of the A7C is slightly thicker than that of the A6600, but because the A6600 has a deeper grip, it is in hand. The grip is really similar.

In terms of specs, A7C leans towards A7 III, because it uses a 24MP full-frame Exmor R sensor, ISO 100-51200, can be expanded to 50-204800, supports 4K, S-Log 2/3 and HLG, shutter electronic and automatic shutter. The number of continuous shots is 10 fps. The fuselage is lowered, but the five-axis shockproof rating is also up to 5. Fortunately, A7C has also introduced physical eye tracking and autofocus, which are extremely useful in shooting stills and movies.
