I preordered the A7Cii, canceled, and bought a A7c and spent the difference on 4 lenses. 24mm G, 40mm G, 75mm 1.8 Sigma, and 50mm 0.95 TTArtisan. I'm just a hobbiest and this setup was much more reasonable for my uses.
Smart move
For sureee
Same as me, I bought 55 1.8/35 1.8/85 1.8/11 1.8....Try to make as light as possible
You could easily do some client work with such setup. People tend to think that pro cameras are huge, complicated etc. Well the C series proves that you can have a tiny but might tool that shoots some crazy good stuff
I agree with this video. I love my A7C and this channel inspired me to get mine.
Waited for the a7C II to bring the used price down on the original, now seems like a great time to buy. Your videos are perfect for getting into this camera 📸
I loved this video. After hours of RUclips review videos and even buying the a7c and doubting my decision, it’s very reassuring to hear this message. Could you do a video on a beginners guide to the camera, and your suggested settings? It would help a ton!
I recently upgraded to the A7C from my A6000 and it’s great so far
Nice! I miss my A6000. Gonna buy another one some day
Can i ask what lenses you have for it and what's your most used lens....
got my a7c a few months ago - BEST decision i've ever made, great vid man
I use the original A7C and I think it's a great camera. For most of photography styles it's more than enough. The sensor is fantastic, the AF is great, and the small body just let's me be more agile and inconspicuous. The only downside for some people would be the one card slot, which was not updated on the newer models. I personally never had an SD card fail on me, so yeah. I do more photo than video, but the videos coming out of the camera are also great. If you expose and light properly you are not going to run into the 8bit limitations. I think it only shows it's weakness in poorly lit scenarios, where you can see the grain and tearing of the shadows in slog2. In those cases it's better to use Cine4, as it's usually a low dynamic range situation, and you are not getting any more information from the log footage.
So yeah, I completely agree with this video. It's better to get this camera, and a good lens, with some pocket change to go out and shoot, than to dump all your money on a more expensive camera
thanks man. I love my a7c.
I decided to purchase a Sony A7C in 2024.
I’m not waiting a year for delivery of a Fuji X100VI. The Panasonic S9 missed the mark for me as a photographer. The A7C with the 35/2.8 is a cheaper full frame X100VI.
I am a street photographer so I value small and lightweight. I am shocked. I watched a Professor Hines and Carty about the Sony 85/1.8 and bought one. It is just about at the limit for size and weight for the A7C. I’m not used to using a long lens like this. I will have to get use to this focal length and size.

love my a7c!! Bought it this year.
Moved from my starter Canon M50 with a Sigma 18mm-35mm to the a7c with a Tamron 28mm-75mm. This camera actually started my passion for photography and now I do work for tons of people. If you can find it at the right price, go for it
Just like you, the A7C also returned my love for photography! I am having so much fun adapting all my vintage lenses and using some new AF lenses. I see no reason for me to upgrade for many years. You are actually the reason why I bought the A7C. So thank you for your informative videos.
Thank you for watching and your support!!
I’m just starting out with my Sony A7C, and live the camera! It’ll get better once I completely understand how to use it.
I didn’t realize you just recently got one! Glad you are enjoying it :)
Hey Dylan,
does the new grip fit on the first A7C. Really thinking about getting one 😊
Thanks!
just got one for 1500-200€ with sony cashback a steal... using it with loxia lenses thats just a perfect combo
i am willing to wait for the a7ciii, i have the a7c and instead of upgrading, i got the 12-24mm lens. I am happy with the a7c. It is going to be while until this camera becomes my weak point in my setup.
🙌🏽 excellent camera!! 📷
Agreed! Still my favorite.
The front dial on the ii/r is also super helpful. It always drove me insane that I couldn't have the exposure triangle on three dials with the original A7c.
But otherwise, yup... it's still a great camera and will be a great camera 10 years from now. People get sucked into this incremental update rotunda. But every camera is great now, literally space age compared to what people used to have.
thank you for getting indepth with this camera and your honest opinion about youtube the newer cameras! im going to be traveling soon i was wondering what is the best camera a7c or a7c ii i dont have a lot of arm strength so i'm leaning towards a7c but i do want to shoot in slog3 for videos)
Both the A7C and A7CII weigh pretty much the same. Slog3 performance will definitely be better coming out of the A7CII!
Hey dylan, can you please make a video about color grading. Thanks
Can you please make a video to show how you colour-grade to achieve the effect on this video?
Hello! I just started watching your channel, especially for the Sony A7C, as it's the camera I currently own. I currently own a Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 lens, which I got as a bundle with the camera. I just started getting back into photography, and it would be really helpful if you could suggest some good lenses to get this journey started.
Just upgraded to this on black Friday :) saved 1k which I can put towards traveling :D
What are you upgrading from? I’m looking to upgrade from a6300, i was worried too much if a7c isn’t enough.
Aچ 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?
I bought an alpha 6700. It heats up a lot and is not suitable for long videos. I want to sell it and buy an a7c.
what is your opinion?
i buy A7C this month... new, 1400$
Better A7C or A6700 for Videography? I prefer a6700 because can 4k120 and 10bit 4:2:2. That's a good choice?
A7c is great...just wish it had a flip down screen like the Panasonic GX9...(for still photography)..I will be buying a 2nd hand one (AGAIN) to augment my retro pair of A7s (mk 1) bodies.
(Now... if Sony would only make a version with the original 12mpx A7S mk1 sensor and a flip down screen)...LOL
Can somebody answer if the camera is worth it with the high speed sync issues I am reading about due to the electronic curtain shutter not being able to be shut off?
Hi!
If i connect a monitor via hdmi- will it switch off the Screen of the A7C? will be tracking in 4K still possible then?
i wouldnt say even if you are beginner is worth to buy this camera I am proffesionally on sony cameras and I still use a7iii for photo gigs and i dont see any reason to change it
It depends on the price difference: where I live it's only 300 euro so I'm thinking to buy the a7cii
yes.
Hey Dylan, have you noticed much of a difference in battery life on your A7CR? I love that I can shoot all day on the A7C and I'm afraid the A7CR wouldn't be an all day camera without packing a back up battery.
It is worse than the original A7C. I do miss being able to go a full day without changing the battery. It's still not bad by any means though. 2 hours of constant shooting leaves me at around 65%
Good point about spending some of your money on travel instead of the top of the top gear. For 97.15% of us, the top of the top is not necessary
👏🏻⚡️✨
Been watching this video multiple times to talk myself out of buying the new A7Cii! As a enthusiastic beginner buying the A7C is way more sensable. Would you recommend me to first buy a prime lens like the 40mm f2.5 g or a zoom like 24-105 f4. Can buy both though, will be doing street and travel mainly, perhaps other recommendations?
Love to hear you actually recommend cheaper/more sensable options unlike most channels nowadays!
The 24-105 is a bit large on the A7C honestly. The 40mm 2.5 is one of the best lenses you throw on the A7C so it’s hard not to recommend that. If I was in your shoes, with the knowledge I have now, I would choose the 35mm 1.8 (so you have a good lens for lowlight at a versatile focal length) and get the 28-60 kit lens.
@@DylanBlackburn really that weighty yeah? I always used a 24-105 on holiday, love the focal length
@@editsbydaan6048 yeah the 24-105 isn’t even a big lens it just feels a bit awkward on the A7C. But hey if you love the lens then go for it!
@@DylanBlackburn do you have experience with the 28-200 from tamron? Its somewhat lighter. Love to hear your opinion.
Dylan is correct. U said travel and street photography..with a 24-105 on an a7c???...awkward and u will not like lugging it around all day.....we have been there..done that..i wish a sony experia 1 v is as powerful as the a7c 2! That would be perfect!
A7C or a6700 ?
In 2021 I bought my A7c with money I saved while working my apprenteniceship as an audiovisual mediadesigner. (1.400€ nearly new on ebay)
On paper this wasn't a great idea, since I used all my savings, but I really wanted to step up my video & photography skill while I was studing. (and I knew in the worst case my parents would help me out). After owning it nearly 2 years now I think this was the best decision I made.
It had all I wanted: e-mount, fullframe, flipscreen.
With the Smallrig 3212B Cage it fits so well in my hands it's crazy. everytime I pick it up i want to shot something. (must buy imo)
"everytime i pick it up i want to shoot something", exactly my feelings with that camera. I had to stop taking it to work, as i would just randomly stop to take a shot
Yes it’s worth it
Facts
You said "it's better to spend less money on the camera and spend more money on travelling to take photos". Man that's all I needed to hear, picking up the A7C today.
Love to see it!!!!
Also buy good glass. Glass is forever. You only date a camera.

Very slay
I try lol
where you can find it at 1000$ ? I rarely will use it for video
Facebook camera buy & sell groups most often!
Sony is selling the a7c brand new for $1250 at the moment (in my country). Thinking if i should grab it.
I bought my A7C for $900. Advertised on Craigslist.
I was the 2nd responder. The 1st responder tried to renegotiate the price to $800. I like that price. The seller didn’t like that price. Thus I own the camera. If I was looking for an $800 A7C I wouldn’t own one now.

A7C or A6700 .. ?? 😊
If you plan on shooting a lot of video, might be best to go with the A6700. Otherwise I say A7C!
A7C or A7iii?
I’m quite biased toward the A7C. Flip out screen, better AF and color science. I prefer the smaller body and the only real benefit would be the larger EVF on the A7III
+ Dual card slot and better shutter in A7III, but I prefer A7C because its AF IQ is closer to A7IV
I voted with my wallet for the A7C. Flip out screen is a definite negative for photography. I value the small size and lightweight of the A7C. I’m also seeing the A7iii commanding a $100 premium over the A7C. For me the A7C is a smaller, cheaper with the 35/2.8, full frame Fuji X100VI.
Mask On Nurse Marty(Ret)
actually, a7c 4k is sharper than a7cii's 4k. I was quite shocked when I compared the footage from a corporate gig that we shot.
The A7C does more than enough for the average person
Agreed!
I’m an average person on my best day so the A7C is more than enough for me.
