Is the Sony A7C Still Worth It?

[@jacobdziki]

The a7c is 1000% still worth it. I've owned it for almost 2 years now. Shot around 15,000 pictures on it and it still amazes me how great of a camera this is. Wishing it had more dials but that's what I have my a7R for. Pictures look great and videos look great.

[@Ausknutz]

Hi! I am a Nikon user, but I am considering changing to Sony, and the A7C would be great for traveling light. I have one question though, can it record GPS infos in the photos? With Nikon, I use their app on my phone, does Sony have a similar app or other solution?

[@mcnater]

what is your favorite lens to use on it? I just got mine!

[@newyorkvisionary]

As someone who loved the a7rii 5 years ago, I think so! My Ricoh is too limited, but I didn’t want a massive Sony full frame camera. This camera seems like the perfect in between.

[@legniak1]

All camera’s are worth it no matter how long it’s been out. People still adore vintage camera’s. I still love my XT3 even though Fuji have released 3 camera’s since, doesn’t make my Fuji any less relevant. The XT2 is still an awesome camera. The Lumix GH4 and GH5 are still great camera’s.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

truth!!

[@NightwatchN8]

Appreciate the humor man, yeah I too have on many occasion been glanced out with them "I think he's crazy" stares! 😆

[@SourPlanet]

It's literally the only camera offering its particular feature set in that form factor. Not only worth it, but the only option too. Sony bodies start relevant long term for sure. I bought an A7Rii to supplement my A7c. May have came out in 2015, but it's holding up just fine shooting street in Manhattan.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. You're naturally funny and not trying too hard like some other reviewers.

[@ALWH1314]

I love my A7C. I own many cameras, A7C is the cheapest of all and yet it’s the one I use the most. I traveled around the world with it and only three lenses, Tamron 17-28, Tamron 28-200 and Sony 35mm GM. I don’t shoot video with it though, that job belongs to Insta360 RS ONE.

[@TobyNewbatt]

Mark you are putting in so much effort and cranking out that content. Keep up the good work! Enjoying your take on all things photo and video 👍👍👍

[@rdy4ever]

Don’t get the fuss about the missing front wheel. If you have a proper prime lens with an aperture ring (like the 20mm f1.8G lens) the problem is solved. If you’re the kind of person to only shoot with the kit lens, then you don’t need the wheel anyway 😅. You have the aperture on the lens, the shutter speed on the back wheel and the ISO on the center wheel. Then, reprogram the movie button to something else, you don’t really need it to start recording. And if you have the Sony G lenses you also get an extra custom button on it. This, plus the extra memory recall button will solve most of your grievances when comparing the custom buttons with the AIII.

[@bennieferinga9609]

Nice to know, since I'm considering the A7c now. Here in Norway the A7cii costs almost $ 2.900,- but one can get the mark 1 for $ 1.300 - 1.400,- almost new. Half the price. And I will use it for photography, not for video, so don't care much about the 10 bit stuff. Setting up the camera's buttons to get a proper handling is important.

[@husseinaliabdulzahraal-dul1575]

thanks for the great vid mark. i just bought one and it's a great camera. although i hope it gets an upgrade with 10-bit or maybe 12-bit recording and up-to-date specs just like the a7iv or a7rv would make it the absolute best compact travel or minimalist full frame camera. however the current a7c is no inferior to most other cameras rn and it is better than a7iii which has produced so much amazing content online for many many people out there so that's an example for comparison.

[@DannysHauntedJourney]

My hero cam is still the A7C, and I think it is an insane value for what I use it for. With the tiny size/weight, along with the excellent low light, and let's not forget Catalyst Browes. There are some drawbacks to it, such as the poor IBIS, but ultimately, one of the best cameras for the money.

I hear a lot of people say you shouldn’t record in slog on this camera due to the 8bit, but I’ve recorded quite a few videos in slog 3 and used a phantom lut with great results.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If you have your lighting done well - you can use slog3 at times. And the phantom luts are very forgiving as well. In fact - I really should do a whole video on this. Thanks for the suggestion!!

[@HenrikoMagnifico]

I'm considering the A7C over A7C ii because of the cheaper price...

[@CinePals]

Wish Sony would firmware update the camera to have active stabilization and 10-bit recording. Hell, I’d pay for a firmware update like that. Kind of like how early adopters of the Canon 5D IV had to pay $100 to get CLOG 3 in their cameras. The fact that you’ll have to get an entirely new camera to acquire features that are clearly software based annoys me to no end. That being said, the A7c is definitely a cool pocket sized camera. I think I’ve come to the realization I am not buying anymore cameras from Canon or Sony unless it has the new articulating screen that came with the Sony A7r V. I nearly got that camera just for that alone, but decided to hold off until something more optimized for video arrives. I think the best camera to get right now is either the Sony a7 IV or the R6 mark II. Fun video btw.

[@networm64]

It's a great camera and almost everything is OK with it( no active stabilizer is so silly though) But it has a very big problem! Even with the 200$ off it is still so expensive for what it is! If it was 1300$ it could be sold like hot cakes

[@RalfeOrtiz]

Actually, I’m seeing second-hand A7C between 1,300-1,500 USD.

[@rdy4ever]

It’s $200 cheaper then the A7III, while being superior in most aspects but the ones related to it’s compact size. Don’t see why it should be cheaper.

So determined buying a camera and appreciate info you provided!

[@sgpork]

For sure it is. As long the camera still power up and able to click. It is still a good and decent piece of equipment. Basically only need newer camera body if you need that really quick af. For still or not blazing quick action any camera will do fine. I have been using the a7rii for 7 years. Still a banger. I did purchase the a7rv recently. That thing just af many times faster. But for still and taking photo in general. They are all ok.

[@SilatShooter]

Agreed it's a great camera, but I'm waiting for the second version of it. Hopefully early part of 2023.

I have the a6400 but as I am more of a casual photographer, i'd prefer to have a compact option I have being considerign this one as an upgrade but hopefully we can get something better, Hopefully a compact one with more megapixel so that I don't loose that many detail with my current lenses on it's aps-c mode.

Nice job as usual man! Yes, still rocking an a7C here. Being a bit the minimalist, I will not go back to collecting camera bodies.

After my last travel adventure I found myself using Topaz to upres my slow-mo to match my 4K, so truth be told the eyes have been on an FX30. I will miss the EVF (yes, on your recommendation I'd get the little doo-dad to put on the LCD).

[@slawomirgromadzki8669]

Great review and completely agree. I used to have a7r3, a7riv, a7c, and now selling Sony rx1 and Nikon z6 with lenses because i have bought yesterday a7c again. For me it is the best camera due to its small size and universality. Combined with a small kit lens I can carry it with me every day. Other cameras I owned were left at home. In the future the only camera I will consider will be a7c2 or similar small one. I don't mind smaller vf. Most important for me is small size, articulating screen, excellent af and battery and limitless video recording. These are the reasons why a7c is much better camera for me than a73.

A7c is good everywhere in video and photo. Fantastic pictures and very good 4k24 and 1080p60 and 1080p120. Reliable. Very solid camera. I will receive soon my gimbal zhiyun weebill 3s i ordered, the a7c is very good hybrid camera, sensor is very good in lowlight. I don’t use slog3. Hlg3 is good on a7c. For me the viewfinder and screen are ok however they should have put an anchor to add a eye cup removable and they should have make the grip deeper (a6700, fx3, fx30) with an body vertical extension like a7cR. But overall the camera is very good except in video stabilization, this is why i ordered a gimbal, especially my condition parkinson require me a stabilizer. Without it all my video will go into the trash as i shake too much.

I’m deciding between ZVe10 or A7C right now for my product reviews that focus only on the product being held in front of the camera. Thinking the A7C might be worth the extra $800 for quality and future proofing. BUT let’s say I use the same $400 lens one each one hypothetically - am I still getting an upgrade in quality? Or do I need to pay more for the lens to make use of the A7C power? Looking at his videos this looks like a pro camera vs his ZVe10 videos kinda looking like a smartphone IMO

LOVE THE VIDEO! Question, how is the IBIS just OK when you were talking about how great the camera is when recording footage as if it's already on a gimbal? Hopefully my question makes sense. I'm somewhat new to cameras and am looking to purchase a high quality camera for filming cars and car rolling shots. THX!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the IBIS is different from the “gimbal-like thing”. you get that gimbal like footage if you run your file through a program called catalyst browse. this program will crop the footage a little and give you smooth footage based on gyro data recorded by the camera. most cameras do not have this option. only the newer Sony’s and some Blackmagic. if you do not use this program, and just used the cameras’ actual IBIS, it would be shakey Make Sense?

Thanks again for all your entertaining and informative videos. I am real close to jumping on this camera, but I read that I can not turn off the electronic shutter like on the Sony a7iv. I do a little of everything including photo/video on hikes as well as some sport photography & video for my running website/YT channel. Is not being about to turn off electronic shutter an issue for the sports and is it more of an issue for the photography or the video recording? I really appreciate your input. Thanks!!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You can definitely use the A7C with mechanical shutter. You don't need to use the electronic. What you read is about the first electronic first curtain shutter which is just something the camera uses to reduce the lag of the shutter firing. You can still use the mechanical shutter as normal.

[@mihaiserbanescu8676]

This year we have an A7c II coming, so gonna wait for that. Also we're expecting a refresh of the aps-c lineup. So we have to wait and compare.

Would this camera be good for shooting basketball photos and video inside? Or is there one you recommend? My budget is $2500 or less for a camera.

What would you choose between a6700 and a7c ?

[@HristosInAfrica]

Brilliant idea with this video Mark! I paid $1600 for my new A7C (not from the store) and it's worth every penny. One thing I don't like and miss very much is Active Stabilization. Also, although you praise Catalyst, I challenge you to do a test and see the sharpness at 100% zoom with Catalyst versus Active/Normal footage. I tested it (even at 1/600 and on tripod) and the clarity disappeared. This is why I stopped using the gyro to stabilize my footage. Please do the test and I await your opinion in a future video.

Also auto WB in artificial light shifts to some pink-magenta tint..

Excellent video Mark. Straight to the point and honesty going through both pros and cons about the product you're promoting I'm still stuck between the A7C and FX30 though. A7C for the flip out screen over the A7III which is stuck with a Flippy screen... and FX30 which has both flippy screen and dual card slots though it lacks photography features. Why does Sony make this decision so difficult!? LOL I'm thinking of paying the extra money and going for the FX30, sacrificing photo features but I'm not sure if I would regret it. I do want to have the ability to take decent photographs, but I'm not sure if the difference in photo quality is going to be very significant compared to the A7C. Going for the A7C would solve this issue, but if I were to do some paid projects with just a single card slot, that'll be bad as well. If only the FX30 came with the same photography features as the A7C, it would've been perfect for me. I'm not sure anymore, I want to go with Sony because of their wide variety of 3rd party lenses, but choosing their camera bodies based off my budget is a pain.

the fx30 will be fine for photos as long as you aren’t taking photos of fast moving subjects and don’t mind taking one photo at a time

[@Pecal1102]

Fuji xt4 or sony a7c for first camera ? Someone help me plzzz

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

What do you plan to shoot?

[@joonajks]

does sony a7c has product showcasing setting?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If does not, but you can turn off eye detect autofocus and increase your focus speed to the max and it will work similarly

[@arthurgphotography]

A7III still awesome

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It absolutely is

[@zovil5154]

Dude … I was searching in KZbin about a7c if is worth it and then your video appears !!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

haha. well it’s on sale this week - so I wanted to get this out there for people like yourself thinking about it!!

[@switchunboxing]

Dude, his videos have been popping up for every search. I’ve been doing these past couple days haha GG

[@parsav5247]

A7c is a good camera but in my opinion a6700 can be a better camera because of everything

[@markshirley01]

This is the next Sony camera I reckon will get the tilt/swivel screen - and hopefully the improved AWB and metering

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that would be great

[@markshirley01]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis the A7R5 sorted the last problems I had with Sony cameras, I like to show clients the back of the camera, plus Sonys AWB was never as good as Nikons, plus I believe the continuous metering is much better as well 👍

How is for those who wear glasses, the viewfinder looks small?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it is small and uncomfortable for a lot of people

[@dattchan2913]

is it just a Sony zv e 10, but full frame, water sealed and with EVF?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

pretty much - with better lowlight and better build quality and better rolling shutter. But this is why the ZV-E10 is the best bargain out there in my opinion. It's a baby A7C

[@switchunboxing]

What does full frame get you? His blog shots here look way better than his ZVe10 demos

[@switchunboxing]

Dang, maybe I should get this instead of the ZVE10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Full frame at a good price

[@switchunboxing]

Wowww it just went up by $300.. How often do these go on sale? Do you know

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that was a holiday sale. the A7C and a7iii will probably go on sale a couple more times this year.

[@switchunboxing]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you hopefully soon. $1,800 is out of line lol. Maybe we get something at CES. I read an article that said January is a good time for camera deals so maybe it’ll go right back on sale I’m hoping.

[@mariuszwasilewski1980]

I'm waiting for new model, or go somewhere else, this one is 2yr old now. Need update, better menu etc. Not worth to buy now imho.

[@switchunboxing]

What would you suggest

[@valendis]

How about now that the mark 2 just released?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I did some vids on it if you want to check them out

[@valendis]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Interesting I was actually looking for a comparison between A7C and A7CII. I'm considering getting an older model for "cheap" especially that 8 bit vs 10 bit, I'm not sure I should care because from what I've seen I like HLG3 pp and I'm not a fan of S-LOGs.(or maybe that was just bad color grading) I am also primarily a photographer and not a videographer so...

A7c 1400$ vs A7iv 2100$, which one is a better buy in your opinion 😅😜

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

that is tough - but the A7IV is such a great camera if the budget is there and 2100 is a good price. I would do a7iv.
