Sony A7C review: Tiny full-frame with compromises

A full-frame sensor in a compact rangefinder-style body offers an intriguing yet flawed proposition

Small size and low weight for a full-frame camera ; Handy vari-angle screen ; Decent ISO performance

Small viewfinder ; Ergonomics could be better ; Expensive compared to the Sony A7 IV

The Sony A7C is undoubtedly an able performer, and will produce photos and videos that the majority of users will be happy with, despite limited video specs. The camera is slightly smaller and considerably lighter than standard A-series models but it...

Sony A7C review

Sony places full-frame tech inside an APS-C body - but is this travel-friendly mirrorless model any good?

Sony A7C R review: 'R' is for 'Ridiculous'

With its mega 61-megapixel sensor, the A7C R is ridiculous in the best possible way.

Incredible image sharpness and detail ; Compact, lightweight design ; Great autofocus and subject-tracking features ; It's consistent and reliable for stills and video

It's pricey ; Only one SD card slot

The A7CR is here to show exactly what Sony is capable of: delivering phenomenal image quality and smart features in a really compact camera.

Sony A7C review: Taking full-frame to a new level of tiny

Sony's A7C takes full-frame to a whole, tiny new level. But does it deliver as big?

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

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...

Sony a7C review

It's the world's smallest full-frame system camera – and there's no big catch

Superb all-round image quality ; Compact, lightweight build ; Accurate autofocus

4K limited to 30fps ; Older menu system ; Small viewfinder

Full-frame goodness from a half-pint camera

Sony Alpha A7C Review

We review Sony's smallest full-frame mirrorless camera, the Sony Alpha A7C, with the new and compact 28-60mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens. If you're looking for a small full-frame camera, then this could be one to consider.

In essense, the Sony Alpha A7C is very similar to the A7 III, but the smaller body has left the camera with a number of compromises, which mean we'd rather have the A7 III, with front and rear command dials, dual SD card slots, better ergonomics, and a...

Sony a7C review: Compact size, big sensor image quality

Sony's a7C is among the smallest full-frame mirrorless cameras you can buy, and in terms of core capability, not much has been sacrificed for the sake of compactness. It makes a great travel camera but isn't as refine as the best of its rivals.

Sony a7C Review

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

The Sony a7C is a slimmed down, full-frame camera built for travel, but its small size limits its versatility, and some aspects feel a little dated.

Sony A7C Review

Sony are attempting to turn the camera world on its head by creating a new 35mm full-frame camera that's the same size and weight as one with a smaller APS-C sensor. Have they succeeded with the new Sony A7C, and is it a great camera in its own right?...
