Back in 2012. Before that, there were no entry level FF cameras. The 6D and D600 launched at 2100. You can thank Sony for keeping the prices around that, as the original A7 launched for just $1700 a year later. The prices have gone up, but the features have gone through the roof, as well. Which is why launching the A7 C with a few less features and a lower price is a good move.
@@BlueBomberTurbo okay I didn't know, I bought one last year as my first camera ever, but a few months later upgraded to A7III, before this I never had interest in this
I held off buying a new camera all year knowing there were huge announcements on the way from both Sony and Canon. Ended up getting an A6600 right before this A7C was released. Such is life.
The UK pricing is absolutely fucked. How is it $1,800 in the US and here it's £1,900 even with our stronger currency? Even directly converting the US price and adding 20% VAT doesn't even add up to that much I thought this would be a great upgrade point from my A7, but at this point I may as well just buy a used A7 III instead
It's $3100 in Australia for the body alone. The body of the A7iii is way more ergonomic and it's about $500+ cheaper new. Wtf is the point of this camera ?
@@nrgydrink4489 It's an Australian problem that the camera is expensive there. Same as well in Canada. Ask your government and trade commissions about this.
I could really see this being useful as a second body for someone that already has an A7RIII/IV or so. Similar to the role an a6000 would play, except you don't have to deal with crop factor and/or having lenses especially for it. Just something to toss a light prime on for some street/vacation/whatever photos, but that will also take any other lens you might have in your library. Honestly, I'd consider it as my first full-frame body, but that lack of custom buttons compared to my current a6500 is a bit of a deal breaker.
I use that same mask and found that sticking a bread twist tie on the inside pocket helps you mold it to the bridge of your nose and keep it from falling down when you're talking.
Enjoyable as always, but I was waiting to hear something about the autofocus, which on paper seems to be more advanced than on the A7III. I would have liked to hear if you found the smaller EVF made much of a difference in practice.
Cool. Still can't buy it as for hobby photography. I'd still choose some A7II for $800 because it's closer to "affordable". How did it happen that $2000 is "regular" and $1800 is "affordable"?
Same thoughts. IMO, I guess Sony is aiming for premium pricing moving forward. I think it may also have to do with its targeted market which is normally the Western countries and China.
It isn't affordable now but will 'a bit more' be later when a7IV comes out. A7III will drop in price and so is this camera. If a7iii goes to $1600 then this will go to $1400. A6600 will be in confusing situation for $1200 or even cheaper. A6600 will be merged with a6400 become sub $1000 apsc camera in the next gen.
@@BlueBomberTurbo do you realize it's not meant to be compared to old cameras? $1700 is a "budget" camera but $2000 for A7III/IV is suddenly not a "budget" camera now? If it was budget camera, it would be compared to Canon RP, which is real example of budget FF.
@@anatolyivanov890 Everyone seems to think entry level FF used to be cheaper, but in reality, it always hovered around $2K until the RP lowered expectations. Now Nikon is joining in by reusing a 6 year old sensor in their Z5. The A7C is not a budget camera, having modern IQ and AF unlike the other cheap FFs out there.
It's not using the next generation Bionz XR that's coming in the A7S III (dual processors, at that), so no new menu or 4K60 10-bit. Wait for the A7 IV instead.
@@TheRitualChannel IF the OS was written specifically for a processor, then yes. IT can't be copy/pasted onto something with a different architecture. At best, if it could be, it would be super laggy, as it's meant to take advantage of the 8x faster performance of the XR.
@@TheRitualChannel So when something is rewritten, it's easy to port, right? Tell that to Apple, and all the compatibility issues software has when they release OS updates on the SAME hardware. 🙄
I am still amazed that most cameras have the viewfinder top center. Myself and apparently many reviewers seem to like the side located viewfinder. Too bad about the lack of front dial and joystick as apparently the touch to focus point lags. Lag is what made me sell my Fuji Xf10. Now otoh the gx85 I had was supper responsive with touch. Panasonic should have put out a WR ff compact GX with a big viewfinder and a couple small reasonably priced primes instead of s5 or in addition to.
From what I've seen, focus point "lag" is just the camera choosing not to visually move the point over first before it AFs. You can see the camera already AFing on the area you've touched, and once it's found the subject, the point then moves over. On my A7 III, there's no lag in actual operation.
Hello..would you please recommend a good cemra ( like cpmpact) that i can use with a fixed lense for vedio & photogtaphy mostly travel memory photography ??
Doing what I do with all cameras and watching the videos after purchasing. I got a solid deal on an a7c and was able to get enough store credit from my beaten up A7rii and x-t10 to get it with no out of pocket charge(and a few of the “free” goodies like an extra battery and bag). So far I love it, autofocus is great, the raw files look good so far, and I love that’s it’s not much heavier than the x-t10(in my opinion) or my r8
Probably the best advert for audiobooks... Normally I'd skip ahead. Can't understand smaller bodies with huge lenses. Are people's hands getting smaller?
Can we get a proper side by side video image quality comparison video with a a6500/a6400/a6600 and A7III? I am mainly interested in 1080p/60. I'd like to update from my a6500 hoping to get a sharper image with 60 fps. Thanks.
Great first impressions review. I’ve seen it mentioned that it records gyro data so you shoot with all the in body stabilisation turned off, so the Sony catalyst software can stabilise it in post to make it gimbal-like... I haven’t seen that tested yet if you wanted to be the first to do it?? Nice vid though.
I am planning to get the Sony A7C with the Sony FE 35mm f1.8. Is it worth upgrading from A6500 ? I don’t do anything professionally. This is just a hobby.
And no IBIS (because you just can't call that IBIS. the earthquake we saw in this video has to be at least a 6.1 on Ricther scale); and no 4K 60 fps... it's a steal. Every vlogger wants one!
@@charliebingaman571 true and to be fair.. Rather havr an RP or a fuji for the bang for buck factor. Its more worth it then this piece of shit..glad i joined team Fuji🙏

Smaller and lighter - win! Flippy screen and no giant viewfinder on top (making it a pain to take in and out of the camera bag) - win! Put a higher res sensor in there and make some light weight lenses to go with it and it's a guaranteed sale!
This is the exact thing i wanted. Ive been a fan of the nex style body since they first made the nex 7. But now i cant decide between the a7c or an xpro 3. Fuji colors and the film style body are winning me over, but ive been an a6000 user for ages and im a bit biased
It really doesn’t seem that much smaller. Like it’s smaller in comparison but still isn’t really compact..I seems more they just moved the EVF so it’s basically just EVF position
A new IBIS system and shutter had to be created to make the camera smaller, along with moving the SD card slot and some buttons, so the camera certainly is smaller than in just height.

its not actually the smallest ff camera from sony. They also have the verry niche RX1 line.
Hey Kai, I’m so I makeAmateur Dance Videos and there’s just not enough videos on how to kit out your camera for gimbal filming? If you made one I’d probably buy everything in it hahah. I’ve got a gimbal and an a7 but I want to upgrade to the 7c and get like some gripss?? Good Auto focusing Lenes ?? An external screen that still works on gimbal?? If you can tell I have no idea what I’m talking about. Send help
Yes, full weather sealing and metal body. 4K60 and 10-bit will most likely show up on the A7 IV. It's only currently available in the A7S III due to the new Bionz XR processor that launched alongside of it.
Dangit sony, I was just looking in to a full-frame upgrade from my D3200, and was thinking a sony A7 series. EDIT: I may not like that viewfinder, being left-eyed.
I mean you can use that viewfinder for either eye which is nice about rangefinder style but for two hundred bucks more you get a front dial, dual card slots, a joystick and a lot of custom buttons but if you need a flip screen then that changes things.
It's wonderful for right-eye shooting, but if it's the exact same as any of the APS-C bodies, I'm afraid you'll constantly be cleaning noseprints off of the screen. That being said, it's not worse than my A77ii was.
Kai. GO GET A GO PRO 9. Would love to see your review of it. no exaggeration , simply fantastic. 5k 30, 4k 60, slo mo fast mo by pressing one button, 23 mp sensor with 20 mp RAW stills that look damn good, stabilization better than any "real' camera, as good or even better than a gimbal, front facing screen they stole from DJI Osmo, but so what.....great for vlogs, many other features , interchangeable lenses (that's what i said), and the bugger is only $450 US, or $400 if you get a one year cloud sub. And it fits into your shirt pocket. Only downside I see is no mic input but the inboard mic is pretty damn good. Dont have to jump off a mountain to see its capabilities. can be used as a regular video or stills camera. Marty of Marty Sender RUclips
S5 leans towards video, while this leans towards photo and light video. Sony's cameras have the best AF in the industry, while Panasonic's have the worst. While Panasonic's have the best video features in the industry, while Sony's have the worst (though quality is good for what's there).
I expect the A7 IV will get a higher MP sensor, flip screen with the new menu of course and.... will be quite a bit more expensive than the current A7 III...
Can someone explain or justify the price point of this camera? $1,800 USD seems wild. I was a long time Canon user recently switched to Fujifilm and cannot see how this costs that much. Thanks!
Because it doesn't sacrifice an ounce of performance over the A7 III. It, in fact, gains performance. If you've ever edited an A7 III (or Z6 or S1) RAW vs a Fuji RAW, you'd know why it costs this much. Not to mention the AF improvement between systems.
@@melvinbrinson Of course, you get a ton more lenses to use, plus the incredible Techart Pro which lets you AF any lens that's Leica M mount or deeper. And a ton more battery life. So yes, it's what most photo people want: excellent AF, excellent IQ, excellent lens selection.
@@martydibergi5228 I mean he didn't mention this new inbuilt features (gyroscope data with possible post production stabilization with suitable software) of A7C
That 28-60mm does not compete with Panasonic's 20-60mm at all. Nice and small I like it better than the original kit lens. But still they could've at least made it 24mm
@@BlueBomberTurbo I get that. But the camera itself was made for vloggers. Not sure how the glass works I have a 18mm samyang lens that's super tiny. I'm sure sony could've engineered a smaller glass

@@SolaSly No other camera under $4500 can match its IQ and AF. Video is the only thing other brands specifically excel at, but the A7 IV isn't far off...
@@BlueBomberTurbo yeah, looks like Sony just dropped their best card on it while crippling other parts. The saddest still the bad ergonomics and not fully touch screen. It's a really tough decision and to each his own. Smh.
@@SolaSly Everything crippled was done in the name of making the camera small, and none of it impacted performance (AF and video stabilization actually IMPROVED!). A TON of people have been wishing for a compact A7 camera, and here it is, even better than the A7 III it shares a sensor (and not much else) with.

Is this identical to the A7iii aside from form factor?
It has no touch screen and worse IBIS...
@ thank you! Where did you hear about ibis?
@@ramifarran in almost every review or preview I think
No. Only the sensor is the same. Has more in common with the A7R IV and A6600.
Kai. GO GET A GO PRO 9. Would love to see your review of it. no exaggeration , simply fantastic. 5k 30, 4k 60, slo mo fast mo by pressing one button, 23 mp sensor with 20 mp RAW stills that look damn good, stabilization better than any "real' camera, as good or even better than a gimbal, front facing screen they stole from DJI Osmo, but so what.....great for vlogs, many other features , interchangeable lenses (that's what i said), and the bugger is only $450 US, or $400 if you get a one year cloud sub. And it fits into your shirt pocket. Only downside I see is no mic input but the inboard mic is pretty damn good. Dont have to jump off a mountain to see its capabilities. can be used as a regular video or stills camera. Marty of Marty Sender RUclips
I am wondering what did he do with his Leica m10-P on this video??
So how does this compare to the S5? Supposedly another accessible compact full-frame...
S5 leans towards video, while this leans towards photo and light video. Sony's cameras have the best AF in the industry, while Panasonic's have the worst. While Panasonic's have the best video features in the industry, while Sony's have the worst (though quality is good for what's there).
@@BlueBomberTurbo I saw AF on this camera, it's evidently worse than that of S5.
@@AoyagiAichou Doubt that's possible with any OSPDAF camera from the past 3 years:

I expect the A7 IV will get a higher MP sensor, flip screen with the new menu of course and.... will be quite a bit more expensive than the current A7 III...
You were right
Good entertainment as always. Thanks for the review Kai
Will this replace Kai's A73?
truly the ultimate vlogging camera
Every media outlet saying smallest full frame camera... which isn’t true. The RX1 is smaller and lighter. Albeit fixed lens.
Where did you get that jacket and pants? Oh yeah...nice impression
Can someone explain or justify the price point of this camera? $1,800 USD seems wild. I was a long time Canon user recently switched to Fujifilm and cannot see how this costs that much. Thanks!
Because it doesn't sacrifice an ounce of performance over the A7 III. It, in fact, gains performance. If you've ever edited an A7 III (or Z6 or S1) RAW vs a Fuji RAW, you'd know why it costs this much. Not to mention the AF improvement between systems.
Christian Fiore Oh. That’s it?
@@melvinbrinson Of course, you get a ton more lenses to use, plus the incredible Techart Pro which lets you AF any lens that's Leica M mount or deeper. And a ton more battery life. So yes, it's what most photo people want: excellent AF, excellent IQ, excellent lens selection.
What shirt is that?
Anyone noticed a black smudge on right side middle portion??
Does it have catalyst browse software compatibility.
It should, since it has gyroscope data to stabilize footage in post, like other recent Sony video/video-oriented cameras.
@@BlueBomberTurbo it does - watched another video with it being used
I thought C stands for Cheap until I checked the price.
""pull back that hood" - Brilliant
You have dust on your sensor, @Kai W. Half way to the too right corner. 😁
How does one get that Leica T-shirt?
What did you do to the HLG footage? Looks nice
You totally missed the new gyroscope data function in A7C, it help stabilization of video in post production
But this was filmed live, one take, no editing.
@@martydibergi5228 I mean he didn't mention this new inbuilt features (gyroscope data with possible post production stabilization with suitable software) of A7C
That 28-60mm does not compete with Panasonic's 20-60mm at all. Nice and small I like it better than the original kit lens. But still they could've at least made it 24mm
More mm = more size. Size was obviously Sony's #1 goal here.
@@BlueBomberTurbo I get that. But the camera itself was made for vloggers. Not sure how the glass works I have a 18mm samyang lens that's super tiny. I'm sure sony could've engineered a smaller glass
@@nyrubin Here's the thing: you don't HAVE to buy the kit lens with the camera.
@@BlueBomberTurbo lol I have thw rx100v the a7sii and the rx0ii from Sony. I'm a big fan. I'm allowed to be disappointed. Idk who's idea it was to make a camera aimed at Vloggers with 28mm at the wide end lens. But! It was a horrible idea that's something we can BOTH live with lol
@@nyrubin Pretty sure it's not aimed at vloggers. Sony's site only gets into video 2/3 of the way down the product page.
Can you take pictures with it?
Should I upgrade from the original A7R?
Hell yeah that camera lacked most what this camera has but i still wouldn't but the C just get the a7iii
This camera isn't worth the price, buy something else instead
@@SolaSly No other camera under $4500 can match its IQ and AF. Video is the only thing other brands specifically excel at, but the A7 IV isn't far off...
@@BlueBomberTurbo yeah, looks like Sony just dropped their best card on it while crippling other parts. The saddest still the bad ergonomics and not fully touch screen. It's a really tough decision and to each his own. Smh.
@@SolaSly Everything crippled was done in the name of making the camera small, and none of it impacted performance (AF and video stabilization actually IMPROVED!). A TON of people have been wishing for a compact A7 camera, and here it is, even better than the A7 III it shares a sensor (and not much else) with.
4:30 so, Lok got an upgrade and now looks different?
is there some pancake lens for this?
When will the A7IV come out tho..
