QUESTION OF THE DAY ⚡ Are you planning on getting the Sony A7C? Let me know! 👇🏼 * 📌 Check out the Sony A7C Full Frame Mirrorless Camera Amazon ➡️ amzn.to/2TwvDDF ******B&H Photo ➡️ bhpho.to/34A02qR

[@vasylyna1826]

Maybe one day :)

[@markshirley01]

I am yes - Im a Nikon hybrid shooter and gimbalphobe. The giro stabalisation seems very useful to me. My only issue is there is no video/photo switch like on Nikons that automatically saves your last settings.

[@joko_wz]

A7III vs A7C? Any tips? 🤔

[@Cuate]

Just ordered it today using Your link! Was able to get the 2098 bundle(lens, flash, filters, memory card, bag, and extra batteries) deal on Amazon. Definitely an improvement from using my cell phone and gopro😅.

[@McKibbin120]

Is it just me, or was the Sony A7iii image sharper than the A7C? If the images you were showing are true to life then I would be saying a big NO.

[@ARSFilms2023]

Me listening to the intro in closed eyes : Oh!! Did Pete upload a new video

[@homechoicehk]

Peter😂😂😂.

[@nolanmolt]

Haha, didn't even realize this was his intro song!! Epidemic Music!

[@MonzonMedia]

hahaha true, pretty iconic to Peter!

[@bikeracademy3472]

I am a complete begginer in videography world and I just bought my first ever, brand spanking new Sony A7C today. I already got a Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f4 & a Sigma Art 50mm lenses. I aslo got a DJI RSC 2 gimbal for silky smooth videos. I am really glad to hear about nice out of the camera colours as at this point I know very little about colour grading. I would love to see a full tutorial on how to set up this Sony A7C for optimal video recording. I cant wait to start shooting wiht my new toy and develop my skills as an up and coming videographer.

[@caleb_n]

Wow I thought I was about to see Peters intro but then I realized I wasn’t! Lol

I'm not the only one xD

I associate it so much with Pete it felt wrong for it not being a Pete video

[@DocBoA]

I'm renting this camera with the Sony 24mm f1.4 right now and recorded my first piece of content yesterday. I also did a livestream with it last night. I will be ordering my own once my rental ends. Absolutely amazing results. Great video

[@nolanmolt]

Yes, I'm loving it too!

[@TrenchfootSalvador]

THA GOD HAS SPOKEN....DR. BOA

[@TristanPaine]

@@nolanmolt how do you stabilize it?

[@keifer39]

I love this camera for just about the same reason you mentioned in this video. My only problem with it is the grip... If this camera had the same grip as the a6600 it would be just about perfect for my needs and how I use it. The lack of designated custom buttons was bothersome as well at first but if you take the time to do the following this camera becomes much more user friendly. 1. Configure and use the MyDial feature 2. Customize the function button menu to suit your shooting preferences 3. Add and sort your most used settings in My Menu If I were a pro I'd try to get the A7sIII but for hobbyists\youtubers Sony really got this one right.

[@nolanmolt]

Well said. Great tips! I understand what you're saying but for me... The grip isn't a big deal. True, I'd get the A7Siii if I had the money. But if I was strictly making youtube content, and wanted to save money and get better lenses, I'd stick with the A7C!

[@NicoleHernandezzz]

I love how consistent you guys are! I recently started my channel and it’s a lot of work! Especially since I have 7 month old twin boys but I’m trying!! Thanks for the awesome content 🤪

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

Awwww! Having young kids and trying to do YT can be very difficult but just stay positive and focus. You can do it!

[@nolanmolt]

Thanks! It is alot of work, but keep it up!

[@regulargamedev3295]

Why am i watching this even if don't understand anything about cameras

[@kolapyellow7631]

Make that 2 of us.

[@raulmoni2916]

I think that to talk about certain aspects of this camera it is necessary to have tried them before. The camera if it suffers from overheating recording video from 25ºC or 70ºF. You can't say it doesn't heat up to 100ºF. if you haven't tried it or you will lead people to buy something wrong. Attached the heating test video. In the other questions the camera a 10. Greetings. And to offer a more reliable, tested and you will see content so that people who, like you say, do not have money, can spend it on something safe and reliable. Greetings again.

[@jhntk7918]

20 REASONS A7C IS IMPORTANT: 1. crammed prior Sony tech into this smaller body 2. smallest FF camera on the market 3. weights only 1 lb. 4. full inputs/ports 5. battery FZ-100 from A7III 6. micro-HDMI port 7. single card slot 8. mic and headphone jack 9. A7III screen but flippy 10. better port doors 11. weather resistant 12. easy to use Fn button 13. 7 steps of AF transition speeds 14. 5 steps of AF responsiveness 15. eye-detection in video 16. one of Sony's best AF cameras 17. same 24mp still images/video as the A7III 18. almost same IBIS as A7III 19. better skin tones 20. good value

[@Pfagnan]

Bought it yesterday as a B camera to my a7Siii and wow finally both my cameras match perfectly with the same colour science!!!

[@MarkDice]

Any overheating issues? One of the reviews on Amazon said it overheated after 40 minutes of shooting in 4k because it's in such a small body. Please give us an update on how long it can film in 1080p, and how long in 4k. Thanks.

[@markdouglas8073]

See 8:45

[@Juansinag]

Not related with recording, but I used this recently for livestream, HDMI connected, for 3 hours with display on, and it didn't overheat. Amazing camera.

[@caleb_n]

So far this is the best camera for the price to specks, so I might considering picking up one of these.

[@nolanmolt]

Agreed!

[@EvidenceofaFabulousLife]

I have a Canon M50 at the moment, but my next camera will be the Sony a7c. It just makes sense. I’m no videographer/ photographer, so ease of use means I will use it more and I love the idea of full frame in such a compact body. The size is one of the reasons I love the M50. Thanks for the review!

[@chaz_evans]

Just got mine last night! Love it so far. Happy to have an orange ring on my Sony finally. Cant wait to put it through its paces

[@nolanmolt]

Awesome, it's a great camera!

[@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? 

[@jespero94]

This camera is awesome. Imagine 4k 60fps! Best things i like is The size, shutter sound and The tracking focus 🤩 and The flip screen! The autofocus is superfast compare to a7iii 👍

[@JackRay]

My brother started watching this video, and I thought it was a new Peter McKinnon video! 🤣

[@1.5Koreans0.5American]

I'm using SONY NEX-5T and it's pretty annoying because it keep shut down after 20 minutes of usage. Which camera do you use?

[@nolanmolt]

Check out ThinkGearGuide.com if you're looking for a new KZbin camera!

[@maartenjanssen]

Thanks for the video! When I have the screen flipped out to film myself, the display is not mirrored, so left is right and right is left. Very annoying. Does anyone know if there’s a setting to change this so the display is mirrored instead of opposite? I’ve been searching and searching but can’t find it either in the settings or online. 😳

[@SY-sp8uo]

Who is considering to improve their own setup for youtube? 🥂

[@MediawithAiden]

Me definitely. Working on mine bit by bit.

[@SurahsAlwaysHere]

Me I'm geting I'm into it :D

[@homechoicehk]

How😬

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Great video, but I would like to mention one thing which is the price of the glass. Apsc prime lenses are a lot cheaper than full frame sensor lenses. So if you are on a tight budget, you should take that into consideration.

[@nolanmolt]

Thanks, yes I talk about that in my a6600 vs a7c video comin gout soon!

[@pennyflow-realestateinvest2296]

The man with the brains, another super pack content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@itsJay23]

So I’m definitely getting this camera as my first full frame. BUT, let’s say I HAD to have 4k @ 60- what’s the best comp to this camera?

[@MonzonMedia]

Definitely looking to book a few gigs to get this! As much as I love the A7S III it's way out of my budget. Hopefully sooner than later!

[@voxxsquad3188]

Can't wait to get into this review. This channel has literally been my morning motivation for the last 2 months!!

This camera looks ace! Is it already Christmas?! ✨ 🎄 🎁

I have plan to buy this camera but I saw some people which complain about mic input issues seems imput mic it's to "large " and usb c and hdmi same.

Hello I have a question to you my Sony 7c has making noise when I off the camera so is it normal or something wrong ?

[@JosephKim]

Does it have power through capabilities? Do I need a coupler?

do you think sony zv1 or a6400 as a second cam with the a7c?

[@fabiansantanamusic]

Great video man!!! Did you use the 20mm f1.8 for the whole video specially the city and car shots too?

[@GuruReviews2015]

Great video. We have used Cannon 80D and Go Pro for 5 years. I was torn between the 24mm 1.4 GM vs the 20mm 1.8 G. Right when I thought I made up my mind, the 14mm 1.8 GM came out.. Ended up going with 14mm 1.8 GM

[@markcoralde3171]

The light set up is fantastic especially the Violet one which illumiates the entire room. May I know what’s the name of that light please and where I could get them. Many thanks

[@AJCoReTV]

Recommend this lens for vlog? Vs the 17mm tamron zoom? Cant afford both..

[@anabellingleton]

I’m a totally newbie to KZbin. I’m recording myself recording my podcast shows so I need something that connects to my Podtrak P4. Does the Sony have xlr connections and if not, is there an adaptor I can buy so the audio goes in there and I can store the file on my podtrak to upload for my podcast. Do I NEED a lens if it’s just me solo in my office? Thanks in advance for answering all the questions!

[@Jim_Mundy]

I don’t see the link for the full KZbin studio setup you mention. Is there a link. I’ll dig around but love the vibe of this video and would love those details. Thanks for all the great content.

[@kalkydra]

Great review man!, What is the gimbal being use with the camera at 7:45? And will that Gimbal support the camera with the wide lens you used in your shot? Cheers!

[@cow77cow]

Hi, Can you see the 1/4000sec shutter speed as a problem in photography? With fast primes in sunlight. HHS works with this body?

Do you think it’s an issue that it doesn’t shoot 10 bit at 4.2.2

[@julianholmanaudio4807]

I'm about to start shooting some music videos and have been looking at the A73. Would you say the A7c would be just as good for this application?

[@filmania6969]

[@SortedSouls]

Could you make an episode of A7c with the DJI RSC2. Lot of confusion with video/photo setup it seems. Would really help me make my first vlog setup purchase decision. Thanks.

[@VWLifeVW]

what lens do we need for it? if we are run and gunning and hand holding it, what's a good wide lens, that's cheap but sharp?

[@nolanmolt]

Tamron 17-28 f2.8 is sharp and wide angle!

[@theyreallnamedgeorge6997]

Super helpful, thank you. No one has done a little late test like you have

[@NativeExplorer]

Can you control the shutter speed and aperture with the touch screen?

[@AlgisKemezys]

I am thinking of getting the Sony a7C or the Fujifilm XT4. I am looking for the system that allows me to take hand held HDR. Three exposures from one shot. I believe that is ISO Bracketing. It was on the fujifilm xt 20 which had this feature. Three exposures from one shot.

[@999torres]

Personally always been a canon fanboy but picked his Sony up and it’s not bad at all it’s my secondary camera

Have you tried the Sony ECM-B1M with this? Curious to see the sound and compactness of that setup

[@gianigayle6658]

Is the canon SL2 a good camera for vlogging at this time? What is the price for one?

[@markshirley01]

When you move from manual mode to video does the camera save your last settings and vice versa.

Preordered mine, can’t wait to get it later this week and start testing this out!

I heard that when you attach an oss lens to this camera the ibis turns off insead of complementing the optical stabilization. Is this true for both photos and videos?

does the a7c autofocus work with adapted canon mount lenses or sigma lenses? I'm thinking of getting this with the sigma mc-11

Does the camera shoot in 4k

[@quickpickle]

ok its time for sony now to come out with an update for this better color for the a7sii and a73.. i mean for us who use multi cams its a bit rediculous how we have to fiddle with the colors to get 3 sony cams in the same a7 range to look the same.

I should have bought this one if Sony cares a bit about its legacy lenses as Canon and Nikon do. I need fast focusing on a-mount lenses and for some telephotography which leaves with no choice but to go with A6600 + LA-EA5.

So is this better then the a7 iii

Yeah it sounds good, but I got the GH5 for half price brand new, £990 ($1100) and that came with a £200 gimbal... I think 4K 60p also sold it for me.

Alright so i’ve got a budget of roughly $3,500 and i’m debating between the A7C and the A7Siii. I know the A7Siii is the superior camera for video but if I decided to go with the A7C then I have a leftover budget for a gimbal, external microphone, etc. I already have an A7iii with lenses so this decision really comes down to what camera I should have as a 2nd camera for video. Any advice? Opinions?

Hi, I created my first vlog on my new Sony ZV-1 - But now I am trying to figure out how to upload it to my computer. I tried to put the memory card in the reader but it does not slide in and I do not want to force it into the Reader - just seems like I do not know how to place it in the reader. as it is the right sandsdisk reader , and I did I check with Sony. Then I tried to transfer the video file directly from camera to computer with USB but when I open DCIM I folder on computer in says "empty" - (the computer is recognizing the Camera USB). Anyway, there is a missing piece here - if anyone knows I would appreciate it. I am eager to get my first vlog on my computer and edit it. Thanks.
