Great Camera
Edit: I have had this camera for a year now. Turns out I just found out Amazon sold me a grey market import instead of a legitimate camera with U.S. warranty. Amazon didn’t disclose it was grey market when I purchased it new from them. Now I’m stuck with a camera that will not be repaired in the U.S. if something goes bad with it. STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING A CAMERA!!Very compact, but heavy, full frame camera. Image quality is amazing. AF tracking is the best I have used on any other camera. Dynamic Range is stellar!I have large hands, so I had to by a base plate/bracket to allow it to fit more comfortably in my hands.Finding good, fast, compact, full frame lenses for this camera is not easy though. Most fast lenses feel unbalanced on this camera.The viewfinder is small, but not impossible to use. Sometimes this camera takes a few seconds to start up. However, the images you get straight out of the camera are amazing!Overall one of the best Cameras I have ever used!

Exactly what I need, nothing more
I bought this when it was on sale for $1600, just before the mkii dropped. At that price it is a beast, with very fast and accurate AF, plenty of resolution and nice color and detail. I mostly pair it with Sony 16-35 f/4 PZ lens for a light package, used for commercial street photo and real estate. The menu system is still a version of the old style, but with some streamlined elements. I’m so used to it coming from my A7rII, it works totally fine for me. I have not tried video functions as I use an FX-3 for that. The viewfinder is big enough for me, although using with glasses makes it a bit small. My only quibble is a slightly slow startup time. Overall this camera is a joy to use, so incredibly small and light for full frame.

Great for travel.
I have full size Sony cameras: A7R4a and A7R5, but they are heavy and putting flash on makes them very unwieldy. This AC7 is the perfect answer. Small and light … and the flash I bought for it (TT350s) is also small and light. Great choice which I highly recommend.

A Sony A7RIII in the body of a Sony A6600! Lightweight and perfect for me!
I love this camera! It’s my first Full Frame Camera! I stream here on Amazon everyday and I use this camera plus the Sigma 35mm F1.2 lens as my main face cam for my streams I have lights behind me so the bokeh is just wow! I’ve used the Sony A7RII but it felt like it didnt have a lot of features this camera has and maybe the Sony A7RII needed to be updated as everything seemed so old with that camera! However I also own the Sony A6600, Sony A6000, and Sony A6100 I use them for my streaming and they’re amazing but with my 35mm lens since it’s a full frame lens on the cropped sensor cameras it was zooming way into my face with the Sony A7C I get the true 35mm! And it’s amazing for streaming it makes face cam look dreamy with the back ground blur and bokeh behind me!I’ve only used this camera for taking photos once! I live in South Korea and it’s winter now so it’s too cold to go outside and shoot I took a few photos as you can see, I have Autumn photos of myself but I can’t wait until it warms up again so I can take more photos! As for right now though I use it everyday to stream!If you have any questions about the camera and want to see it in use in real time stop by my Amazon stream you can find me by going to amazon.com/shop/atarabyte! Or heading to the Livestreams tab on Amazon! I stream everyday here on Amazon and I can compare all the Sony cameras I have for you in real time and hopefully help you decided which Sony camera would be best for you!I hope this review helps! And feel free to message me if you have any questions while I’m not streaming I would love to help! ^^Anyways, I hope you have an amazing day and if you do buy this camera I hope you love it as much as I do!

For the professional and hobbyist it’ll work wonderfully
Picture quality is brilliant, auto focus, and manual features work seamlessly. The included sony battery has incredible performance, especially when it comes to drawn out 4k videography. There is an automated time lapse feature, and for those looking for a solid camera with 3 easy to set manual modes look no further. It’s exceeded my expectations.

Excellent for its design!
Bought this not too long ago and I was a Sony Alpha 7R II user. I believe Sony’s design vision came out great. I thought back then that A7R2 will be my camera for a while but as I grow as a photographer, I realized that the weight and the AF system were not my taste anymore. I couldn’t really go to APS-C because, the 35mm sensor size simply gives honor to film sizes and I respect that. Imagine, a (relatively) smaller form factor, with full-frame image size capability, enough superb resolution (24MP) for current viewing/display technology (and possibly in the coming years later) and competitive color science. All packed in A7C. Not to mention, great battery life. The price could’ve been cheaper, for all the compromises done. Lesser buttons? Not a big deal; loss of quality of life I suppose. One can always master their gear and be faster in changing settings than anyone else, no matter how less of buttons there are. In note of color science, I shoot RAW so it is irrelevant to me. If I want to better color, I’ll work the image in post processing. I’d say Sony Alpha 7C is Excellent for its design! But in the end of the day, only yourself can decide which to purchase; you have to be sure how is it going to be used for anyway.

Full-frame photos in a super compact body, as amazing as the quality lenses you put on it
I own the much more expensive Sony a7s III for video but upgraded from a Sony A7 III to this A7c for photos for the resolution. That resolution is big enough to crop in on things like the moon without much quality loss. I think this camera is an amazing compact replacement for the a7 III. With quality lenses you’ll get amazing results! The included photos were all with the 100-400GM, some shots with the 2x teleconverter.The only 2 major drawbacks to this camera is that it really should have 4k 60 video at this point. It should have also received the nicer new menu system as the a7S III as it was released after it. I don’t think those are deal breakers, since I couldn’t rate 4.5 my rating is 5 stars.

Es una gran opcion si quieres salir de la gama de entrada de las camaras y entrar a un mundo mas profesional. Si vas a enfocarte en el video por encima de la foto, la recomiendo mucho más que la A7iii.

Beats the a7iii

La adquirà para utilizarla en eventos sociales (bodas y Xv años) y la verdad me ha encantado. Estoy maravillado con la calidad de imagen, enfoque y materiales que tiene la cámara. La recomiendo bastante ya que aparte, la baterÃa tiene buena duración grabando video.

One has to be very aware of the technical side of COLOR SCIENCE. Think twice before getting one, Low light videography is a bit complicated with a7c. This is an 8bit Camera, hard to get standard colour if you are shooting with SLOG-2, SLOG-3. if one is using the normal profile then it seems a very harsh kind toe over all.
