This is a great compact full frame camera. It does require sometime to master it. Yes, the Sony Menu is some what difficult to wade thru, but the amount of customization it offers is worth the effort. As far as the pictures are concerned--they are superb. Work with it and it will work for you!

Special pros from Artist, major PLUS vs (lets say for example beautiful Leica Q2) 
I love the fact that you can protect the screen (the only reason I would get camera with turning around screen to flip it to close and save the power and protect the screen!! )
+external recording
+aspect ratios variance
+external mic option
and the internal video Mb/s don't really matter you got external recording , and lets sate the obvious exchangeable lenses ... now you can buy top dollar glass and put it on this beautiful body ❣️(sold everything bought Ricoh GRIII and this is next !)

For several years I have gotten along very well with both an RX100M3 and an RX100M6.  I prefer small cameras when on vacation, and these served me well.  But after a granddaughter came along, I started taking many more indoor shots with available light.  The RX100’s were no longer entirely satisfactory.  Too often I was using ISO 3200 and/or slow shutter speeds, and the results did not bear up under close scrutiny.  So I chose a Sony A7C with a Sony FE 55mm f1.8 lens for their low-light capabilities.  This solved my problem.  Indoor shots are now totally satisfactory, and family members noticed the improvement.  The shallow depth-of-field capabilities are also interesting to play with.

Great combination at a great price.

Excellent compact form factor in a full frame. Set up your custom menu to suit ur style and this camera is an absolute beast....and always remember, no matter what camera hits the market, the photography snobs will always find something to complain about.

If you are looking for your first full frame camera or a back up for your high end gear, here is your answer. Very accurate auto focus, super fast, small and light weight. If you are using it at the back up for your A7R3 (like me), you will be missing some features (like double card slot and navigation button), but it's an excellent buy for your buck!

Sony has taken their hugely popular A7iii and sent it to the plastic surgeon with a photo of an A6600 with directions of get a body like that! The result after some miniaturization is called the A7C... the C is Sony code for compact, although cool, crazy or cute can apply too - but cheap certainly does not.

IQ is identical to the A7iii. The tilt-screen on the A7iii was nice, the flippy-screen on the A7C is better. The C does not get the A7Siii's revamped, touch responsive menus (and likely won't ever get them, since it has the A7iii's processor).

Sony has abandoned the soft plastic port flaps on the A7iii and given the A7C ports proper hinged doors, and that is very welcome and will improve long-term reliability. The viewfinder relocates from top-side to left-side, which might upset left-eyed 'togs but I'm right-eyed, so no surprise, I rather enjoy the rangefinder configuration. The III's viewfinder is more comfortable and indisputably larger, but the C's is perfectly usable in the bright Florida sun. Oddly the SD card slot is on the left, and to go smaller, the 2nd card slot is gone, so is the ancient Micro-USB B port... it's all USB-C from here on out. Many will miss that 2nd card slot, but no one will miss the old USB port.

Inevitably, when the A7C with kit glass makes it way down to $1598 with promotional discounts, think Black Friday 2021... it's going to become the de-facto Sony full-frame for the price-conscious who wants a little more than an A6XXX series delivers. Not many A7R or A7S shooters are going to consider this a primary, but for the new mom/dad, or aspiring Youtuber, or hobbyist on a budget who wants to dip their toes into full frame, this is a really nice option to have.

Coming from an a6400, this is a massive upgrade. A lot of quality of life features (albeit lacking the new A7Siii menus) over the A7iii. It is a slightly worse handling experience than the A7iii however. Less custom buttons, small grip, and tiny viewfinder make it a worse photography experience. For me, this is much more of a video camera. It offers some good upgrades in terms of battery life (over a6400), ports, flip screen, and real time-AF in video (previously only for photos on the A7iii). All in all, my plan is to use this camera, collect FF lenses, and cross my fingers for the A7iv, which is shaping up to be my dream camera!

I just switched from canon to Sony and picked up the Sony A7c. It’s perfect for what I do. I shoot video mostly. The gyro data is absolutely amazing. Same type of stabilization as the Sony A7siii. It’s durable, it shoots amazing in low light. Only thing I would complain about is only able to have 1 memory card. But you can get an attatchment for a 2nd one so really it’s perfect for me.
