Sony Alpha 7C compact mirrorless camera announced

Sony has announced a new full-frame mirrorless camera today, the Sony a7C. According to Sony, it is the smallest and lightest full-frame camera on the market. The new camera will cost 2,100 euros.

The new camera is roughly the same size as a Sony A6600, a camera with an APS-C-sized sensor, but it does have a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor.

In terms of specifications, it is therefore more similar to the a7 Mark III. The camera has 5-axis in-body image stabilisation, can shoot 10 photos per second and record video in 4K resolution.

It is also useful that the screen on the back of the camera can be fully rotated. This is handy if you want to film yourself, for example, and a flexible screen is also practical when taking photos in all kinds of situations.

The sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to 51,200 and can be expanded to ISO 50 to 204,800. Focusing is possible with 693 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection autofocus points. The familiar face and eye detection is also available. This can also be used with pets.

Although this camera is a little more compact, not that the other Sony Alpha cameras are so large, the A7c does use the NP-FZ100 battery, which can also be found in other Sony A7 cameras. This also means you can take plenty of photos on a single battery, around 700.

The biggest compromises seem to have been made with the electronic viewfinder. It is a little smaller than usual.

If compactness is not that important to you, the Sony a7 Mark III may be a more interesting option. That camera has similar specifications, but is currently around 200 euros cheaper than the A7c.
