@@prince2thethrone I don't know, but it looks so beautiful and picturesque in his reviews!

[@TechOutAdam]

FINALLY someone that can talk and show what they're talking about at the same time. Best review of this camera by far! Thank you.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@JSephH76]

I have nothing of value to say other than hello! Your channel is great and I've used it as a resource for like 2 years!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Hello and thank you for your long term support!

[@eggydrums]

I switched from the a7iii to this one and I have to say that the a7c got unfairly trashed by a lot people. Even with its shortcomings, this camera carries the spirit of the mirrorless format that seems to have been lost over the years: compactness. I feel like there will always be users, whether consumers or pros, that will like to have excellent image quality in small packages. The a7c most certainly fits that bill, even with its shortcomings. Thanks for the review!

[@TheHybridShooter]

I absolutely agree.

[@xKingUVHearts]

what are the shortcomings? especially compared to the A6400?

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@xKingUVHearts It is explained in the video. There are basically no disadvantages in comparison to A6400. Only the higher price.

[@karlsjostedt8415]

@@TheHybridShooter Viewfinder has been one of the biggest complaints about the A7C and there the A6400 is better. Lack of control wheels is also one of the biggest complaints about the A7c and there the a6400 is better as well... The A7c really should have more control wheels than the APS-c cameras, not less... There is no good solution if you lack control wheels... Only work-arounds.

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@karlsjostedt8415 There is very obvious solution if you need more control elements, which is buying A7III instead. A7C is specific package for people who mostly use semi-auto settings and want the smallest possible camera, whilst maintaining the full frame sensor, so both EVF and controls are fine for that purpose. A6400 had same amount of dials.

[@ookamiueru]

It's amazing how refreshing this was. Most videos on camera gear are 1.5 minutes of mandatory fluff, and then mostly followed by the KZbinr in perfect studio lighting, on a different camera, saying things that could be better communicated in writing. It's a visual medium, about a product that produces visual results, and yet, actually showing what is being said, seem to take the back seat. Your videos are the exception, and I'm glad you do what you do. Thanks. The only constructive suggestion would be to consider adding time-stamps to more easily jump to the specific parts. It is very useful when you want to revisit specific parts of your reviews.

[@leow5632]

I love the a7c. I have one and I love the compactness and low weight. Even though a lot of people said that the ergonomics is crap but who cares when I can easily carry it around with me anywhere. Better than those heavy bulky cameras with good ergonomics but end up being in a dry box most of time. Those people are just salty AF

[@thomaan]

Thank you for a good review. I purchased the a7c as a second body to my a7riii and love it. The smaller size is very welcome. I own the GM zooms and they are a bit to big for the a7c's smaller grip. However the Tamron 17-28mm is a great fit for the a7c and probably the lens i use most on the camera. The 35mm and 85mm 1.8 lenses fit the body very well also. You should do a "best lenses for the a7c" video.

[@LincolnLohan77]

Just got it along with the Tamaron 17-28mm - I do travel vlogs and videos and I am coming from the GH5 with a 24-70mm equivalent - Hopefully I won’t miss the zoom with this lens haha

[@dancygr]

I honestly didn't realize how small it was until I had it in my hand, it's crazy.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Exactly, a lot of people make that mistake with A7C (including myself).

[@dancygr]

@@TheHybridShooter yeah like you said in the video, perfect for travel photography or even street photography with a small lens like the Samyang 24mm 2.8 which only weighs like 90 grams or something but quality isn't as good as a Sony or Sigma lens but for the weight savings it's worth it.

[@JUSTINBUISSON]

Thank you SO much for this review. I always wait for yours because I think that you're one of the most objective type of reviewer.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@SuchanBajracharya]

A camera that I always carry around hence the perfect camera for me. I just love my A7C! Paired with the kit 28-60 lens it is undoubtedly the smallest fullframe mirrorless camera. I also like the fact that we now have smaller lighter lens option from Samyang/Rokinon like the 18mm f2.8 and other smaller primes which pair very well with this body. I hope this trend of small formfactor and ergonomics continue to grow and we can see more competition from other manufacturers! Cheers 🍻

[@theresaernajurgenssen809]

What other lenses r u referring to? Trying to find lightweight lenses for travel...

[@TechMishka]

Another brilliant review from your side! I was actually waiting for that in the past weeks 😎 At the moment your channel is one of the most precious and reliable sources of information and real-life test of camera equipment! I've turned into A7C heavy user, and the more I use the camera - the more I keep on asking myself why I was delaying the switch from m43 to Sony FF that much.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate that! It is indeed a big upgrade over M43, that unfortunately ended up being a dead end...

[@seniorbrusko]

The review I’m waiting for!

[@olegvorkunov5400]

I sold my A6500 and got this one as an open box at BB for $1700 with a kit lens. Though of selling kit lens, but looks like it is a keeper for gimbal work. Quite a sharp lens for its size.

[@orphanuprising]

9:21 "for you" is also correct.

[@K22MDL]

Agreed.

[@Pfagnan]

Just bought it last week as a B camera for 2 camera shoots with the a7Siii as my main camera. Just amazing! Bought the SmallRig cage with the deeper super-comfortable front grip. So I get a matching Sony camera with great auto-focus, same low-light sensitivity and I can also push my ISO with no discernable depreciation in quality. Don’t care about only 8 bit as I do very little colour grading. I do a lot of event shooting like concerts, stage-plays, dance groups, choirs where I can put this camera on a tripod with wider shot- 20mm 1.8. while running-and-gunning with the big camera and they are SUPER easy to match in Premiere Pro!! Oh and 24 MP makes it a great hybrid camera too! Nirvana!! 📸

[@adrianvasian]

there are actually 2 custom function buttons, the red record button can be changed to whatever you like and the shutter button can therefore be changed when pressed in movie mod to start and stop the movie ;)

[@TheHybridShooter]

The is a lot more customizable buttons. By custom button I mean “free” button that you can’t for extra feature.

[@ajhabdkaiak8173]

i love how you always start with hello friends, it sounds so genuine🥺

[@jebeq2007]

I love my A7C it is the perfect walk around camera. I have it paired with the Zeiss 35mm F/2.8 and it is the combo made in heaven. I first purchased a Fuji X100V but as nice looking as the camera was it completely failed me in the Auto Focus department I had to many failed focus shots to justify the the $1500. The A7C on the other hand has yet to fail me with any of the shots that I have taken doing Street Photography. Nice review!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! So do I, although the X100V is also one of my most favorite cameras on the market. I have never had any issues with AF on that.

[@nivin3]

Are you happy with colors from A7c compared to X100v? Heard Fuji was better with skin tones

[@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? 

[@FieldingSmith]

Depending on what Oly/Pany bring to the m43 market this year (please don’t let m43 die!), I could see myself switching to Sony with a few primes and an uwa zoom.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I basically switch from GX9 to A7C and I am very happy with this decision. I am pretty sure that the future is not very bright for M43.

[@minibuns5397]

I am sold on the AF improvements. My concerns are durability and thermoregulation over time as the components are potentially kept much closer in this smaller configuration.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I don't think that it is a concern. The "core" of the A7C is the same size as A7 III, which is a very reliable camera, so there shouldn't be any issues.

[@AbdulazizAsiry]

i am a a beginner photographer and i would like to get the A7C only to travel with to get nice photos and with most of my photos will be in automatic mode which of the lenses that are the most compact yet the most variable for nature , potrait photos and memories and even videos if i ever want that i should choose as the camera when you buy it you can buy it with or without lenses and i do not know the choice of the lese that i should get thank you for your video , beautiful demonstration

[@JeanV1986]

I saw the Rode videomicro in your review. What do you think of it? BTW, thanks for the great reviews 🙂

[@TheHybridShooter]

You're welcome, it is a good mic at size and price point, more than good enough for casual videos. For more serious use, I would recommend something like D3 Pro.

[@allenschneider1847]

Without a joy stick how do you move the focal point around on this camera? Can you do that with the D pad? Wish Sony would put aperture ring on the lense similar to Fugi.

[@cj64films]

Well coming from someone who has been shooting Sony APSC for the last 4 years I’m really considering selling my Pocket 4K for this camera. And I already own an a6400 so this would be an amazing A cam. I love the pocket 4K’s image quality, but I hate that I have to fully rig it out. I like my rigs very minimal. I’m also a hybrid shooter so having two cameras that could line up image quality and color wise would really be beneficial.

Thanks for the video, I am considering this camera to use exclusively with the gimbal. Have you tried Catalys + gimbal?

[@TheHybridShooter]

You're welcome! Not yet, but I will do so soon.

Just a comment for a little correction (everyone forgot that one): the smallest full frame interchangable lens camera is the Sigma fp. Good review, as usual. :) camerasize.com/compare/#825,858

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, technically yes, but the FP is not relevant enough to mention.

[@Pharesm]

I bought it because it was cheaper while having more advanced AF. The size was irrelevant to me, I would have preferred better IBIS . . .

[@philipleathem9]

What did you think of the 28-60 kit lens?

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is surprisingly usable, I will make a review of that one soon.

[@sanghuloom6943]

thank you very much for the review! Is there any chance you would do a side by side comparision between the a7c + sony 20mm f1.8 vs sony a6600 + sigma 16mm f1.4? I was planning to upgrade to full frame but I wanna know first if the difference is massive specially in low light and portrait shots. thanks!!

[@TheHybridShooter]

You're welcome! Unfortunately I don't have any Sony APS-C gear at the moment, so I am not able to do that. You can find some comparisons of A7 III and A6500 on this channel. The results with A7C would be the same in terms of image quality.

[@karlsjostedt8415]

You gain about 1 stop in the low light direction going from APS-C to full frame. Double the light is kind of massive?

[@DonMuffatello]

I’m pretty split between buying this W/ kit lens vs a7riiia W/ zeiss 24-70 , I’m really struggling to choose one over the other.

Nice Review. So it is not the fault of the processor of the S1H, that the cam can't do a full sensor readout in 4k/60? Too bad. Thought that the S1H is one of the best 4k Video Hybrids up to date. :(

[@TheHybridShooter]

Probably not, I only know that the sensor can't do full readout at 60p.

I had a6600 and the 16-55f2.8. Was great. But low light and stabilization not great. I now have a7c tamron 28-200 and samyang 45f1.8. The catalyst browse stabilization is amazing. Low light performance is mind blowing. You can shoot at 4000 ISO all day.

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@nathanturner2304 That is not a good advice.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! Grip is much better than on A6300. Lens choices depends on the budget. Ideally all GM primes, but there is a lot of budget options.

[@nathanturner2304]

Don’t fall for it dude the battery life on the 6300 is trash , you’ll be getting all around better stuff with the 6600

[@migueltrujillo5932]

Me think the A7C with the 20mm 1.8 looks sexy.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Me too.

Is the touchscreen operational for AF selection when using the viewfinder?

[@grosha77]

yes. you have to activate it in the menu. it doesn't work by tapping the desired spot but by dragging the AF point around with your finger on the touchscreen while looking through the viewfinder.

[@balboa0621]

@@grosha77 Thank you. Reviewers aren't really discussing this. It 90% makes up for the lack of an autofocus joystick. I've used the feature on Olympus and panasonic cameras before with success.

Hello my friend, A7C vs XT-4 which one is better?

[@TheHybridShooter]

That is very complicated question, that at a look at my A7III vs X-T4 comparison, that should help you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpTRlaGBfd1qq9U

I have sony a6600 for video low light 80 % at night am I need upgrade to a7c for video ? Thx

[@TheHybridShooter]

The A7C is significantly better in low light if you have suitable lens.

[@mohammadmorshed2458]

wow very small camera

[@andyk2456]

Any chance of a A7C-R with a higher MP imager?

[@TheHybridShooter]

I don't know, but I would definitely like to see one.

[@Djk0t]

Hi there what are you jpeg settings for various situations foa Fuji users? My wife shoots Fuji xe3 and would love a small full frame if she can get velvia and classic neg looking jpegs with such camera

[@TheHybridShooter]

I'm not trying to emulate film simulations on Sony, so I unfortunately can't help you with that.

[@Djk0t]

@@TheHybridShooter so how do you use jpegs on Sony ? I asked because I thought you used Fuji in the past

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@Djk0t I don't really use JPEGs on any camera, only for testing.

[@Djk0t]

@@TheHybridShooter ok thanks

[@TechwithUsama]

Which camera did you shoot this video with?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Sony A7 III.

[@TechwithUsama]

​@@TheHybridShooter Thanks. I started following your channel when I was at 0 subscribers and since then, your channel has helped me a lot regarding my content production quality. So far I was using Sony A6500 + Sigma 18-35mm. I now want to add a couple of more cameras for 2 more angles. I am looking at Sony A7C + Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN and for a closeup angle on the products on the table, I am looking at the Sony ZV 1. Would you be able to give me any suggestions and improve this choice further? I make tech videos and I usually need close angles, higher sharpness, etc.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate that. I can recommend both A7C and Sigma 24-70 F2.8. If you already ZV-1 is also very good camera within the category, if you intend to use it in good light, it will also be suitable for that.

Great review !

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@ugparmar1568]

Excellent & to the point review 🙂

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@thickrebel6493]

really nice and thorough video. i see they get rid of that idiotistic orange lens mount painting is a great addition as well. cheers

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! It is still there, but it is narrower. It is a signature Sony FF design element, so I like it.

[@thickrebel6493]

@@TheHybridShooter your welcome 😉, maybe i`m on my own with the orange ring dilemma.

[@thickrebel6493]

i've bought a 3d printed ring cover. i am a happy bloke. btw picture at 2:58 is beautiful.

[@FranklinScicluna26]

Can't decide which camera to buy between the Sony A7C and Fujifilm X-S10!!

[@TheHybridShooter]

A7C if you have budget for both options.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

Fuji XS-10 vs A7C would make a wonderful comparison video. Maybe?

[@TheHybridShooter]

@@smalltalk.productions9977 Price difference is too big, so it might be interesting but not very useful.

[@FranklinScicluna26]

@@TheHybridShooter Wish Sony had some pancake lenses like the Fuji 27mm or at least small like the Fuji 18mm. That's what holding me back mostly from deciding to buy the Sony

[@TheHybridShooter]

Samyang makes very good 24 and 35mm pancake lenses for E-mount - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJObp6aVr616qdE there is also a ton of small prime lenses for Sony from Tamron and other manufacturers.

[@johannesmellak]

Best review of this camera!!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@DjNeighborhood]

so is this better than the new fuji camera?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Depends on which new Fuji camera you mean.

[@blueplanettrips]

Hi - this is a wonderful and very balanced review. The so-called pundits and the top KZbin reviewers are basically demanding outrageous technologies and their reviews have been highly impractical for a very average user. Most of these reviewers have lost touch with reality. Good to see you have a balanced view of things and that appeals to average joes. thanks for the review

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

[@blueplanettrips]

@@TheHybridShooter cool. one question - is there a new A7C2 coming? It has been two years since this A7C came out.. time to wait or get A7c? any advice?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Unfortunately, I have no idea, I don’t have any insider information.

[@kimsrengros]
