A7C is a full frame A6600. Controls, handling, EVF, LCD, improved Tracking and size is what makes it different from the A7III.

[@KutWrite]

I wonder for an advanced amateur if it's worth the extra dough over the A6600.

[@m_w_TR]

@@KutWrite definitely worth it

[@Clashing0N]

So the tracking on the a7c is better than the a7iii? I’m doing a lot of autofocus gimbal shoots and am trying to choose which one is best

[@quantumvideoscz2052]

[@OurFantasyLife]

I ended up going with the A7iii cos I found a solid Open Box model at Best Buy for about $1200, which I would have been insane to pass up. As much as I wanted the unlimited recording time on the A7C, I literally could not pass up that price.

[@jarradmorrissey2455]

A7C for me. I'm more inclined to take the camera if it's smaller. A nice pancakes lens on the A7C is a great take it every day camera.

[@Sincerelykeyy]

this was honestly so helpful i first wanted the a7iii. i just love the quality of it but the screen was my problem bc i wanted to use it for video and photography so thank you for helping me find my new camera:) im sold on the a7c

[@learningcameras]

[@just_inhawaii]

The slightly tweaked color science is also a good addition.

[@Princeton_James]

Yes. A7iii looks good but this looks better.

[@kylchn6002]

Thanks for the comparison! I went with the A7iii because I'll be shooting more photography (75% photography/ 25% video). I personally like the bigger body not only for the extra controls & joystick but for the feel. Either way, I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

[@hallease]

Purchasing the Tamron 28-75 was a game changer for me. I LOVE that lens. I ended up buying the sister lens as well 17-28/f2.8 and now I’m pretty much set for any video I want to make on my channel. Thanks for this review! I own the A7III and the a6500 as my CAM B and I’m thinking about getting the A7C to use as my main camera and have my A7III be my cam B now. That flip screen, and endless recording is what’s up. Plus, the price is easier on my wallet vs the A7sIV? SIII? I get the names mixed up but the new one that just came out with the flip screen as well.

[@GaryJahman]

There are lots of people out there that are still using the A6000 and are waiting to upgrade to full frame. I think the form factor and similar features from the A7III will push them to get the A7C. However I think the price should be more around 1499,-

You do understand that it has the same sensor as the a7iii right? Hahahah kinda too low to price it that way man

[@metaspl0it]

@@GaryJahman all I'm saying is it's just a rehoused a7iii. it's missing a dial and some buttons but it has it's own improvements (no record limit, flip screen, a larger buffer size, better color science, real time eye tracking on video - even with an external monitor, better port covers, lighter body) which I think makes it all even. so if it's just as good as the a7iii, or even better at some points, then 200 dollars less is just fine...

[@kefkapalazzo1]

@@metaspl0it a brand newe a7ii is not $1400 in most places bro. I got a new one for 900 on amazon last year. replacing it with the iii, but still

[@AJGalecki]

The biggest thing to consider, is even though they are in a lot of ways the same camera... the A7iii is a true 50/50 Photo/Video hybrid camera, equally great for both. The A7C is 40/60 Photo/Video, it is definitely more video ready than it is photo ready.

[@flol3266]

This is not true at all. It has better skin tones and better auto focus than the A7iii. Especially those yellowish skin tones in difficult light situations make it difficult to correct for the A7iii. For video with HLG the colors are pretty much the same. So I would say the opposite is true.

[@AJGalecki]

@@flol3266 There are no "yellowish skin tones that are difficult to correct" with the A7iii. Must be an inexperience/lighting issue you're having.

[@flol3266]

@@AJGalecki this is a known issue with lots of attention here on KZbin when the lighting is not optimal. Let’s say if you want to take a photo of someone in your living room at evening or so. This is now about inexperienced light setup because you do not only shoot with professional light setup… yes with a pro setup there are no issues because the lighting is perfect then. But when the light is not optimal (let’s say a wedding party) skin tones geht yellowish sometimes. And the A7C is not a camera vor video at all… it is the a7iii with new color science and new AF in a compact body. That’s it. It is just compact and everybody that complains about Form factor or Button really has no clue. The name says it all A7C = A7 compact!!!

[@CC-gt3ro]

I disagree. The a7c is a great photo camera as well. The autofocus is also better in photos not only in videos. The flipscreen allow me to take great photos as well as the evf on the left side. I don’t like evf in the center. The a7c is much more lightweight so i can bring it everywhere. For the grip it is ok. If i want perfect grip for videos i can add smallrig 3212 which add an better handle grip and multiple attachment for monitor and side/top handles. A7c photos are beautiful. We are very happy. And i use it 70/30 photo/video. The flipscreen is important for portait photo.

I’m not truly sold on the a7C, it’s basically the same price as the a7III but without the controls. I prefer the two dials, the extra programable buttons, the dual cards, the EVF in the middle, the screen works good enough. The a7C isn’t quite there. I have the a6600 which I use on a gimbal most of the time. And I wanted an APSC for the extra reach when out at the track, and it’s a great small camera to vacation with. (10-18, Sigma 16mm f1.4, and the Sony 35mm f1.8 are all pretty small and produce great street photos and video). Personally, I’m waiting for the a7IV hoping it will naturally pair with the a7SIII which I have coming soon. But in reality, they are all great cameras!!

[@AJEnggrav]

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?

[@QaziAdil]

Does the A7C overheat since it is a small body?

[@Collin2377]

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.

[@anonym5510]

The a7iii has had shutter problems but very uncommon. Also if you purchased it new it has 1 year warranty, if the shutter has an issue it will definitely break within that year leaving you with warranty. But sony's a7iii is amazing, doubt it would ever break

[@CC-gt3ro]

For me a7c is the best hybrid camera. Period. Even with the a7iv. The a7c is a camera you bring with you everywhere. My bag with two lens is very lightweight. Autofocus, photos and videos are very good. Gyro data for stabilization. Great low light performance. Animal eye af for photos. Eye af for video and photos for human. Reasonable price. I like the small evf on the left side. The door plugs very solid. Tamron 17-28 and 70-300 with a7c are formidable camera kit sets

[@jacekmrozek158]

Very interesting material! I have a question for you and the viewers, maybe they already have some experience. 1. Have you checked if it overheats when recording 4k after about 1h (I have A7III and after about 60 minutes it overheats and turns off)? I am thinking of buying this A7C, but the condition is that it cannot overheat while recording 4k in continuous mode.

[@learningcameras]

Hey! So I have overheated it once in just over an hr. The only camera that seems to last longer (from Sony at least) is the A7SIII though

[@WHITELIONNYC]

It becomes much harder to recommend the A7C when you consider second hand prices, the A7 iii can be picked up for around ⅓ of the price of an A7c at the moment. Both great camera though!

Ive never seen anyone sell a used a7iii for 1/3 the price. They usually just a few hundred dollars less than new.

Hey! So technically the A7SIII is a bit overkill for what you need but there really isn't a good alternative under it so I'd either go with your plan of replacing with the SIII or sell the A7III now while it is worth a lot and plan on upgrading to the A7IV when it comes out probably in the next 3 months which should be more suitable for what you need and less $ than the SIII

Hi Dan, I am a new Sony mirrorless user. My new A7iii arrived yesterday and I must say, I am impressed. I have a question about Picture Profiles. I have a question in regards to Picture Profiles. I have other Sony video equipment I use for work. I am a big user of PP10 HLG. Silly question, but going to ask. When in Video mode on the A7iii, I have set the profile to PP10. When switching back to Aperture Priority I noticed the Picture Profile seems to stay as PP10. Is this profile applying to my photography or just video? Cheers WMV

Hey!!! Awesome! So, in theory, the picture profiles ONLY affect video and jpeg files (they will affect jpeg files though so be careful). However, there is 1 setting in the picture profiles that can minorly affect RAW files and I believe it is one of the GAMMA settings. I unfortunately don't remember exactly which one but in most cases picture profiles don't affect RAW photos

@@tommyliu1210 Sigma is wider so better for landscape/street, but Tamron is lighter & bit smaller so better for travel. Have you thought about 28-200 Tamron?= good all-in-one

[@jadezore]

@@tommyliu1210 SIGMA. that 24mm is vital. have it for the a7iii and never leaves it.

Great video Dan thanks for the input! Which one of these cameras would you recommend the most as a b-cam to the a7siii for wedding work? thanks!

[@learningcameras]

So definitely for video get the 7c. It has better video AF, unlimited recording, and the flip screen. Plus it has some more hidden features like you can rename video files which you can't do on the 7iii

[@andrewmcf96]

Dan Watson awesome thank you I appreciate that!

[@anilkumarmalviya7038]

If u are buying ur first camera.. And wanting to upgrade from phone.. Would u wait for a7iv or buying the a7iii... Confused! Need help.. Great video on the differences, a7c i feel won't take huge lenses as 70-200 that easily to click.

[@learningcameras]

Hey! So definitely for photos, I'd be fine buying the A7III now. I'm sure the A7IV will be better but there likely won't be a must have feature that changes the industry. On the video side, that's where most of the large improvements will likely be. Hope that helps!

[@anilkumarmalviya7038]

@@learningcameras yep it does, thank you :) thanks for these videos. They do help a lot.. Keep them up coming :)

[@RogerBrenon]

The problem with Sony no one talks about is even getting their new cameras. Still can't even get an A7S after all this time. A7C's on waiting lists in most places. If your waiting for a A74, plan on waiting more than a year to even get one. I cant stand all the hype about new cameras and you cant even get em anyway.

[@kushbahuguna8485]

Hey Dan, I am considering the sony system primarily because of these amazing Tamron (great value) lenses. My question is, I was looking at getting a a7c with the Tamron 17-28 and 70-180 lens. Will the grip/handling of the camera be an issue ?

[@learningcameras]

Hey! Definitely agree. So the 17-28 is no problem at all with the A7C. The 70-180 might be a bit awkward and front heavy but I certainly wouldn't qualify it as an issue. But if your shooting for a long period you might feel your hand cramp up a bit since it doesn't have a full grip. But either way I think you'd be good

[@ericbenjaminlites]

I have the Tamron 70-180 with the A7C and have no issues at all. I love the combo.

[@jespero94]

Great video mate. Do you know if there is any viewfinder adapter that you can buy to this camera? I have it and The evf is... Really crappy imao.. 😁

[@Anarki2U]

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.

[@NiklasJuritsch]

How is it for photography? I wanna buy it but i‘m not sure yet because I use it for filming and photography

Just as good as the A7III in terms of quality so great

[@learningcameras]

Thanks!!! Yes, face / eye AF works in video on the A7c but not on the A7III

[@learningcameras]

@@DeluXeZ3niiTh Absolutely, the Sony 20mm F1.8G, 35mm F1.8, 55mm F1.8, and 85mm F1.8 are all great. Most of their zooms though, I prefer Tamron for compact quality lenses

A7C has the gyro data stored in the video ... this mean you can stabilize in post with catalyst ... A7III it's not

I'd get another A7III personally...especially if you shoot photos. If you shoot video, definitely save up and get the A7IV

[@tykimikk8605]

@@learningcameras my issue with the a7iv is the color science difference with the a7iii. But if they can match up color in camera I think Id go with the a7iv

Thank you for the quality information you provide. Need your help in my deliberation on choosing an additional camera body for my lumix g9. Looking for the short term and debating between the sony a7c and fuji xs10

[@learningcameras]

So the Fuji might be a great option for you. It is going to give you 90% of the A7C quality for almost half the price and most lenses would be cheaper as well. But the A7C is full frame where as the Fuji isn't so the quality is still going to be in the A7C

If it is just for casual use, the A7c for sure. If it is anything more than that, the viewfinder, dual card slots, and custom buttons on the A7III are probably more important

[@joydas7149]

When we speak strictly video , is the 7C better than 7 iii. I am so torn between the two

[@learningcameras]

For video, the A7C has more pluses such as eye AF in video, unlimited recording, a flip screen, and access to catalist browse for stabilizing in post. Those are some pretty big wins so the A7C tends to be my recommended camera for video between the 2 until the A74 comes along

@@learningcameras Thank you Dan, for sharing your knowledge. With a vast array of options is getting harder everyday to decide. Where can I get more information about the feature of A7 4?

What is the point of keep releasing a new muted camera lacking essential features, where as one Complete Hybrid camera is needed by mass & would sell in bucket full, look at new smartphones obliterated Camera companies. Canon with Hybrid R5 and R6 & more in the pipelines is trying to revive the situation!

How are you!. One question, which camera would you recommend, more video than photo, as the only all-terrain camera, sony a6600 lens 18-105 mm or sony 7c lens 24-105 mm, regards !

[@learningcameras]

Hey! The A7c would be my recommendation for photos at the moment if you can afford it vs the a6600. You will see some image quality improvements and the a6600 doesn't really have anything compelling that the A7c doesn't have. If you are going to get the a6600, I'd highly recommend trying to find a used one and saving some $! For video, the A7C is a clear winner!
