Easy point and shoot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is very basic and I like that! The specs are easy to use. I have only had the camera for two weeks and haven’t had tons of time with it yet, but so far everything is as advertised. The Compact size is perfect for traveling and feels great in the hands. The image is wonderful. The video quality is incredible and the stabilization is really amazing. I really enjoy the simplicity of the options while still having extreme control over everything if wanted and when needed. The only complaint so far is the screen. It is great that it can turn a full 180 but I wish it could tilt when sitting on the back of the camera and when folded out, the image will flip with just the slightest turn when flipped in “selfie” mode. But these are minor compared to the excellent quality and function of the entire camera. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Smallest and lightest Full-frame camera I owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky to receive as early Christmas gift the A7c basic kit with the FE f/4-5.6 / 28-60mm lens.
I previously owned a Sony a230, that I switched for a "semi-pro" compact camera from an other brand.
First of all, I have to admit, I am highly satisfied with this impressively "tiny" full frame camera.

What you have to know before buying:
It's a E-mount and FE lens are highly recommended (and pretty expensive but worth every penny you invest in it).

If you are a vlogger or that photo is your hobby, but you always felt that DSLR are too big or too heavy, go for this piece of mirrorless art. I am very impressed how fast I got used to the new options, and how easy taking decent picture was. The bokeh with the basic lens is pretty ok and I like how the auto mode was very fast and reliable.
I do feel that it's a pretty premium entry camera for beginners who wants to make a serious (or not so serious) hobby out of this camera.
I use it essentially for my Instagram content or for some other personal/professional projects too.

I do miss something from it. Due to its size, one of the control dial is missing. I like to have one on the front of the camera.
My lens selection is the following (hobby, dog lover and astrophoto lovers with the basic kit lens set):
The light telephoto option - Sony 70-300 mm, f/4.5-5.6
Astro photo and wide angle: Sony 24 mm, f/1.4
The light telephoto option - Sony 70-300 mm, f/4.5-5.6
Astro photo and wide angle: Sony 24 mm, f/1.4
I am now feeling that I have to invest in new lenses especially for astrophoto. I will update the review after the next hiking session I will do with my new Sony 24mm f/1.4 .

Level up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is absolutely amazing. I have been so reluctant to get into Real professional cameras but this is absolutely game changing. The camera is effortless to use. I did not have any trouble setting it up or connecting to any of my devices. The pictures are so crisp and bright. They are actually juicy. That is how people have described the pictures to me. I think this camera is going to enhance my pictures greatly.

Small frame BIG power
on January 7, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always wanted to jump on the Sony mirrorless hype train, but never had the opportunity to. On top of the size, the “silver” is a nice touch and I recommend that colorway to everyone in the market for it as it definitely adds a little flair to the camera to make it stick out from the usual all black camera bodies.
The flip screen is a definite nice touch. I do wish that it had been touch screen, but the full motion is a nice touch. Definitely will help with selfies and vlogging if you do that. For me it is nice to be able to rotate and see what I’m shooting in weird angles. Speaking of seeing what you’re shooting, the Sony camera app allows you to see the EVF on your camera screen and capture as well!
The kit lens is small and compact. Overall I don’t find much use for it as I hoped because I rarely shoot video or vlog, but if you do any of those, it is a definite must. It’s so compact and with it being 28mm on the wide end, you can get plenty of frame in your videos.
The Auto-Focus is AMAZING. I’ve had plenty of shots messed up with other cameras because the Auto-Focus was off or too slow. Sony definitely has been the leader in the game and I’m happy to know the hype is well served. The A7C also has the newish Eye-AF feature. I haven’t had too much experience using it, but from my initial tests it is great and combined with the AF-C and zone focusing it is quick to switch and switch back to Eye-AF. Definitely an amazing feature.
Overall this camera is great. If you’re looking for a small compact camera for vlogging/streaming with a flip screen, this is it. Or if you’re like me and just want a compact camera for all your travels (next year when covid is over), this is definitely it. Where previously I would have to think twice about taking my camera with me, this Sony A7C is a no brainer. It literally fits in my jacket pocket and is a take everywhere type of camera.

Compact full-frame and full-featured travel camera
on January 7, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sony's Alpha series is highly regarded by both professionals and enthusiasts. The 7C is a wonderful new entry in its product portfolio targeted towards vloggers, travel enthusiasts, influencers, or even professionals who would like to have an additional camera handy.
It ticks many important boxes - light and well made, 4k video, compact mirrorless, full-frame, enough controls for the serious photographer, and compatibility with Sony's wide selection of E-mount lenses. External microphone and lights can be easily added, and a good quality company tripod should be fine.
The form-factor on this is ideal for travel. I am still trying this out, but so far have been very happy with stills and video. This will definitely be my go-to outdoors and travel camera (when travel resumes). Highly recommended.
Update 1 - I took the camera on a couple of local trips and love how easy it is to carry around. This is definitely much easier to carry around, both in dimensions and weight, compared to other DSLRs. I tend to shoot more because of this. You still have the full-frame capabilities capturing excellent photos and videos. The a7c is perfectly suited for travel, hiking, and vlogging with great autofocus and continuous eye tracking. The kit lens (28-60) does an adequate job with portrait stills and bokeh shots when traveling light, but thanks to Sony's extensive range of high-quality E-mount lenses I have also paired it with some Sony G Master series lenses for even better photo results. The audio capture is good and it's easy to add an external travel mic for pro results.

Best camera for almost everyone!

This is a fantastic camera for almost every use. Really bang for the bucks. Although I do very wish there comes a R version of a7C with equivalent performance or R3 or R4. Then it’ll be a total flagship killer and thrilling machine again. Now the only thing I occasionally misses are the extra pixels, especially for a previous R series user. Nonetheless, this is still by far the best all-around camera I’ve ever seen and used yet! Great job Sony!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Camera and Kit lens

I have had this camera for about a week and I just love it. The 28 to 60 lens is perfect and very sharp. The outstanding feature of this setup is it's size and weight which encourages me to take it everywhere. I have been taking pictures for over 60 years now and this is the best camera I have ever had.
