Sony A7C: Best Value Camera in 2023 (Why I'm Not Upgrading to A7C ii)

Sony A7C → amzn.to/3aROdlO
Best camera bargain in 2023, as a lot of people are upgrading to A7C ii. But the orginal A7C is still a great value camera, unmatched combo of quality and performance.
In this video I wanted to explain why I am NOT upgrading to the Sony A7c ii. I think the sony A7C still holds up in 2023. Its a great hybrid camera, and does a lot things just right. Most camera KZbinrs don't get that.

Don't miss out on this bargain camera. Its a steal. So many are upgrading to the A7c ii, so you get an incredible camera for the price. Sony A7C → amzn.to/3aROdlO

[@beirutgaming]

All these youtubers who claim to be pros got a free invitation to Sony's A7Cii and A7CR Launch in Utah. The reason they all say good stuff is because they must. They receive free stuff and goodie bags, plus they have the chance to be the first people to make some new videos for these camera. The new cameras are overpriced and not worthy of an upgrade at all. Don't listen to people on the internet ever do your research and think!

[@TSCameraGear]

I think the a7c ii is a good camera. Just not worth the upgrade for me.

[@rookido5327]

Well I can say that I own an A7C and is a little beast.

[@edwin98899]

I have both 7C and 7C II, and I can tell you they are completely two worlds. Especially if you use photoshop, you'll immediately observe the difference when you touch the photos. The details and information in the files are different. 7C II writes more detail in a way which are easier to touch the photos, especially in darker positions of the photos. It'll be much much more mature when you adjust the details.

[@BrianCatalano]

I completely agree! On Facebook somebody asked what the best value camera is for under $1500, and it's easily the a7c or a6700, but because the A7C is full frame and doesn't overheat, I recommended the A7C. I can imagine it could only become more popular now that it's even more affordable. All these kids who are trying to get the Fuji xv100, should be picking up the A7C and a pancake lens. Also, I really appreciate the shout out and support. It means a lot!!❤ Ps. I didn't know you had a bunch of Panasonics sitting like poor orphans in your closet. The gh5 is a great camera too. Do you ever use her?

[@TSCameraGear]

Im closet-camera hoarder. :) No I don't use the GH5 anymore. But its one of my favorite cameras of all time. keep it up in the attic. ps. did you notice the kitten? ;)

[@BrianCatalano]

@@TSCameraGear not only did I notice the kitten, I am going to be disappointed with every thumbnail from now on that doesn't have a kitten in it!

[@TSCameraGear]

@@BrianCatalano haha.. "be careful what you wish for"

[@Quattordici]

Well, all I understand is: I don't sell my A7C, because I don't like to sell my stuff, otherwise 8-bit and 4k 30p are cons

[@TSCameraGear]

You nailed it .

[@soheilmasoumi3009]

great video. Is the Sony a7c camera suitable for long-term filming? For example, two hours of non-stop record? Doesn't the temperature of the camera rise? 

[@TSCameraGear]

Its really good for long term filming. Never overheats. Longest i ever shot was 2,5 h Video on the a7c. My zve1 cant do That even.

[@soheilmasoumi3009]

@@TSCameraGear woooow.very good.thank you

[@tomghzel]

WTF. You don't want to upgrade because selling is a hassle? You just put the ad on, put your price and wait for the right guy to say: agreed! I don't get this issue. If you are not in a BIG hurry to sell there's really nothing easier than selling you stuff.

[@tomghzel]

I think now is the perfect time to sell. I see ads for the A7c for about € 1200. I'm happy with € 1000. That means I'll just have to add € 1400, and that's like one good video assignment. I think, and hope A7c matches better to my FX6. I'm using A7c as b-cam now. And,,, Slog3 is blegh, I'm using Cine4 most of the time but the difference in quality between the FX6 and A7c is immense! It just doesn't compare. I need a better one than the A7c and I don't want to pay as much as the A7s III costs.

[@BrianCatalano]

You're the best, and you're right, I wish it wasn't such a hassle to sell gear. I'd probably be more of a minimalist if it were easier!

[@James-iv4eb]

How about the 5 year old Canon Eos R? 30mp with solid low light handling. Similar level of autofocus. Higher resolution LCD and EVF. Compact lens availability. Protected sensor. AND same number of card slots!😂

[@adventuristai]

So basicaly only reason is you cant sell it for good price. So better to keep it :)

[@TSCameraGear]

Hmm… no? Not exactly. I dont care what i could get for it. :) I dont like the hassle of selling it to strangers. Ive always had a problem with selling stuff. I will probably give it away at some point.

[@tsizzle]

Nice videos. There are 2 key areas that the original A7c is BETTER than the A7c2. 1) Significantly better battery life. We’re talking about 700+ pics with the LCD vs. around about 500 pics on the A7c2. Sony is not updating the FZ100 battery anytime soon, so each iteration of the cameras will have worse battery life than the previous (especially given newly added and improved features - AF, IBIS, higher mega pickles, etc.). 2) Better buffer able to capture more RAWs and JPEGs. The latter is less of a concern. Also, the 24MP of the original A7c just seems to be an ideal size. 6000x4000 is a nice rounded easy to remember resolution. File sizes are manageable, smaller and faster to transfer via wifi the Imaging Edge Mobile app.

[@TSCameraGear]

Thats interesting. Thanks for sharing those comparisons.

[@georgemahlum6542]

KZbin reviewers often forget there are many photographers that do not do video with their photo gear...I am one of them...I choose a pair of A7c bodies that do every thing necessary for good street stills. Cheers.

[@gsapriza]

Would you rate this over the Panasonic s5? Honest question. Because that is the best value camera in my opinion. just saying, Cheers

[@jankarlsson8341]

Your video has really nice colors I must say. Is the teal hue from the lut or your light hitting the wall?

[@TSCameraGear]

ehm.. its both I think. If you notice, the color of the wall and the clothes match.

[@thelifeoftony2439]

If you want to give another lens away I just got a a7c and I have no lenses yet 😭 jk, but thank you for your video!

[@nicedward7544]

Really thinking about picking one up used. Either the c or a 6600. It would be nice for an everyday/travel/hiking camera. I haven't purchased a camera brand new since the 5dii came out what like 13 years ago or something lol. I don't recall ever buying a lens new either. I always stay a few generations behind. I'll use my Riii's until they crap out.

[@snkrf33n]

sad day but i was robbed of my a7rv and i cant replace it at the moment. are you still thinking about selling the a7c?

[@tristanrujano]

Mega pickles (not making fun of you, I will say this now I like it)

[@TSCameraGear]

I think its hysterical :) Its actually not ”mine”. I heard it first from Jonathan morris, a fellow youtuber.

[@EfrainSalinas-sl3xy]

Does the Sony a7c have AWB Lock?

[@shubhamkumarnayak1774]

What do you think about Canon R8, What would you choose A7c vs Canon R8?

[@TSCameraGear]

I havent read much on the R8. Because i have ”invested” so much in sony lenses Im really only interested in reading the latest about sony cameras.

[@Nasicks]

that thumbnail is so cute!

[@alwinbenjamin]

💯

[@joshuahope3967]

Sir I m a physician interested in photography, initially i planned to get sony RX 10 mark 4 as its a bridge camera with fixed lens, many of my friends dissuade me as its an old model, they are telling me to get a full frame camera, after watching youtube videos im thinking of getting sony a7C , is that a good choice, i ve no intention to upgrade, is it possible to use that just with 2 lenses?pls opine.

[@TSCameraGear]

Well it really depends how much you will use it. Yes i do recommend the a7c especially if you can get it a good price. But a full frame camera is more for pro use. If you dont know if you should get a full frame then I doubt you will appreciate the upside of it. So yes the a7c is a great camera. Im just not sure u will get the best value out of it if you dont know why its good. Does that make sense? But yes technically its better than the rx10
