Sony has leveraged the popularity of its A7 series, creating a full-frame camera that seems impossibly small in the A7C. There are lots of positives here in terms of build quality and performance, but it's lacking a little in areas like bitrate and frame rates when compared to the top tier cameras.

Really compact size; Fully articulating screen; Fast autofocus and smart tracking features; Great build quality; Versatile video modes

Only one SD card slot; No 4K60p; Menu button is in a really awkward place

Full-frame sensor in APS-C sized body; 5-axis IBIS; Forward-facing touch LCD; Superlative tracking autofocus; 10fps continuous drive; 4K video with flat and HDR looks available; Best-in-class battery life

EVF is on the small side; Doesn't have Sony's new menu system; Touch functions could be more robust; Omits front command dial and focus joystick; 4K tops out at 30fps

When I first heard about Sony’s new A7C, I thought it was just a parts-bin camera — taking a lot of good things about the Alpha line and putting it into a new design. On paper, that’s exactly what the $1,800 A7C is: it’s the sensor, processor, and autofocus system of 2018’s A7 III in a body that’s...

Still expensive; Poor menu button placement; Great full-frame lenses are expensive and heavy
