Sony Alpha 7 C Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera (Compact and Lightweight, Real-time Autofocus System, 24.2 Megapixels, 5-Axis Stabilisation System, Large Battery Capacity) - Silver

Product Information

The a7C's video quality is excellent, and the high-quality video capabilities add strongly to the overall value of this small, budget-friendly full-frame camera model. the Sony a7C set to "HI+" continuous drive mode, ISO 100, a 1/4000 shutter speed, a wide-open aperture, and manual focus, 40 uncompressed raw images before the buffer fills. For this reason, I still recommend the A7C for those landscape photographers who are looking to travel light, without forfeiting the amazing full-frame image quality, or rugged (weather-sealed, metal body) physical build.

Is Sony’s ultra-compact, lightweight full-frame Alpha body the perfect option for those looking for their first ‘proper’ camera? Sony MILCs have been praised by many in the video industry for including high-end features found in their mirrorless full-frame cameras. Shot marks can be easily added to clips during or after recording to mark favourite scenes, allowing you to quickly locate them during playback in the camera or editing with compatible software.

I needed a small and reliable camera to shoot my videos out in the park, which can sometimes present unpredictable lighting conditions. Less obvious and less easy to turn is the rear dial, located rearward between the mode dial and exposure compensation dial.

For this reason, the A7C’s 24-megapixel sensor might not catch your eye if you’re really serious about landscape photography. The Sony A7C offers 10 FPS shooting and a decent buffer, so, as long as you’re not photographing the Olympics or other professional sports, the shooting speed and the autofocus tracking will be more than enough for anything fast-paced, from your kids’ sporting events to that wildlife safari adventure you’ve been saving up for.Instead of the tilt adjustment found in Sony's other full-frame alpha models, the a7C gets a vari-angle model.

Another electronic shutter issue to be aware of is that certain light pulsing can influence the results, potentially creating banding. Its human pose estimation technology uses a skeleton-based model, enabling it to recognise not just eyes, but also body and head positions with high precision, so it can even lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or with their face partially obscured. I have found the a7C, like the other Sony MILCs, to deliver good image brightness in most typical scenarios when using the auto exposure feature. A precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and an optimised image stabilisation algorithm work together for exceedingly smooth, stable movie footage.

This is the most frustrating thing about the camera, and it was why I didn’t take it to Florida on a recent shoot we did because I knew I would have sunglasses on. I have used this functional and lightweight Tripod in the studio and the field in the last few weeks. There are three lossless-compression image sizes (S/M/L) to suit any application, and a Light image quality selection that generates less data is provided for JPEG and HEIF images. Their technology is now on its fourth generation, and that’s only counting the original full-frame E-mount cameras. The practical design of this is better than a conventional tripod, thanks to its intuitive and thoughtful design.

You may want to format your Sony-destined memory cards during shoot preparation instead of during a shoot. To achieve the A7C’s small size, Sony has compromised its viewfinder and handling compared to the A7 III. The α7C II offers 4K 60p/50p movie capture with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, taking advantage of the latest BIONZ XR processing engine and its wide dynamic range to produce exceptionally smooth images of fast-moving subjects. Take it anywhere - When paired with the 28-60mm, the most compact full-frame E-mount lens, the Alpha 7C lets you take amazing photos and videos while staying compact and easy to carry. oz) , the full-frame α7C II offers impressive portability and manoeuvrability with exceptional performance.Also, IBIS can work in conjunction with OSS (in-lens Optical Steady Shot) for enhanced overall performance. The NP-FZ100 battery provides power to capture up to 740 images on a full charge when using the LCD monitor, or 680 when using the viewfinder. It has a fully-articulated LCD, and indeed some famous landscape photographers have vlogged with the X-T4, though it is a bit of a hefty camera. ISO 102400 and 204800 are available, and while they sound amazing, if your only option is to use these settings, consider packing up and going home.
