SonyAlpha 7C Full-Frame Compact Mirrorless Camera Kit - Black (ILCE7CL/B)

I’m in love with this camera! It takes great quality photos, the auto focus is amazing and the battery life lasts for a long time. However, I don’t like that it doesn’t have a built in flash so you would need to buy an external one. But I won’t let that affect my 5 star rating because overall it’s a pretty great camera 🥰

I’ve been a photographer for over 30 years. This small camera body is an absolute powerhouse and is perfect for travel and can do everything that the larger Sony bodies can do. Great image quality in a lightweight and diminutive package. A lot of people whine about not having enough buttons and dials, and as with any new piece of equipment, it’s up to the user to train themselves around it. I can’t find any faults with this setup at all, including the menus. Took me 15 minutes to figure it all out.

I really do love this camera. Paired with a G lens, it delivers unbelievably beautiful images effortlessly. The advantage of the a7c is that it’s optimized for size, but honestly I don’t think it’s small *enough* to make a noticeable difference compared to an a7iii or any other full-size a7. The higher resolution EVF and the better touch interface on the full-size bodies might be a better choice.

This is my second shooter/behind the scenes camera as well as my sneaker camera (as it doesn't look professional, it's easier to get it into venues). If you're looking for a small easy to use camera or you're a member of the paparazzi, I highly recommend.

Touch screen IDK about it

I was debating between the A7iii and this camera and ultimately decided on the A7C. Ultimately I wanted something that was compact yet provided the image quality of a full frame camera. I’ve had full sized DSLRs in the past and I noticed that the size and cumbersome nature of carrying them around deterred be from taking the camera with me. With the A7C, the compact size really makes me more prone to stick it in a bag and take it wherever I go. Also, the updated autofocus system really tipped the scale in favor of the A7C.I plan on primarily using prime lenses so the whole “large lens on a small body” argument doesn’t much apply to my situation.As far as functionality and the loss of dials/custom buttons, it’s not a situation that is going to be of any major detriment to anybody using this camera. Yes, you lose out on some conveniences, but you can still set customizations and use the quick function menu to get to the controls you need. Obviously if you’re going to be doing professional work, the other alpha models will better suit your needs, but I this camera isn’t necessarily geared towards those people so we shouldn’t be holding it to those standards.The flip out screen is nice, though I’m agnostic when it comes to this feature as I don’t plan on vlogging. However, if I were to this would be an absolute must. It does serve as a nice feature when I’m taking photos from difficult angles.Battery life is fantastic. Build quality is very solid. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase and I’m looking forward to snapping a lot of photos with this little beast.

I got this with the lens for traveling, I really like it thus far! It is very similar to the a7III (which I also have), but without two SD card slots and a little smaller. Sony has also improved the feel and the buttons of their cameras! The swivel screen is also great on a fullframe! Overall, cute, small camera and lens duo!
