Industry News: The Sony Alpha a7c leaks ahead of the official announcement
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
What are you talking about ! What about Leica M lenses?
I’m out right now shooting with the summilux 35 1.4. Better than any Sony or canon lens ever made. Tiny as hell. It’s a piece of art.
Comparing this to the A73 with the mount... It isn't much smaller. Maybe someone can show me how it is smaller besides the removed EVF.
You’ll be happy, I read that Sony is also launching a new collapsible 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens.
I was using an a6600 (similar form factor) for a remote camera to be left out in the woods for months at a time. Just sold it recently. If it were full frame, I'd have probably kept it for the purpose. Sony's battery management software was better than Canon's in terms of its waking up/sleeping, etc. when dealing with external batteries. But it turns out the RP is even better at the battery stuff now, and is much cheaper than this new one.
I think this will sell well in the market for which it was intended (vloggers, street photographers and travelers), but is too late to be a secondary camera to a Canon system.

What are you talking about... the original message wished for a FF camera sized like an old Point and Shoot. Only the RX1 is a FF Point and Shoot style/size camera. Tho your comment comes in with a 5,000$ manual focus lens, how is that equivalent to P/S camera. The Leica is a beautiful small lens, many manual focus lenses are tiny... but way off topic.
This thing would pair awesome with those tiny, cheap Samyang AF lenses that just got released for the Sonys. Fantastic travel camera. I really wish Canon would make a small rangefinder style body
Basically a full frame M6 mk II. I have one and it is a surprisingly functional and capable camera with a usable small design.
Wait so it's a new concept but Sigma FP already did it?
Lets look at the price for this. Idk I feel like this is probably Sony trying to use parts from different cameras to make another model just to sell off those parts and make some money, before they design a new camera.
But either way since I bought a A6300 when it first came out and then saw them release the A6500 just eight months later I've sworn off of Sony. I've seen a lot of comparisons between the A7SIII and the R5 but I think there's really no comparison, yes maybe you can argue the A7SIII is a better video camera, but the R5 is more of a hybrid camera because it does really well in stills photography as well. Some people actually think the R5 is perhaps the best wildlife birding camera because of its animal eye AF and 45 mega pixel sensor. Try shooting birds and then crop 3x with the A7SIII's 12mp sensor. It's an apples to oranges comparison in which the A7SIII is a dedicated low light video camera where as the R5 is pretty much a hybrid thats good at both stills and video.
In the end if the A7c is priced high, people would think why not add a bit of money to get the A7SIII or R5.

I never liked the 35mm focal length 20 years ago ... but after getting an RP with the RF 1.8 35 MACRO I learned to like 35mm
Great compromise for low light and fair close upsMy observation is that (1) FF exploits more final resolution/detail from lenses and (2) the transistions (sky, leaves, etc) are smoother, more realistic - that transforms just to the cheapo EOS RP.
And about lenses: For landscape f/8 is fine usually and an adapted EF 40 or the RF 35 are compact & light & sport very good IQ wide open and go to excellent stopped down to f/4.
And cheap means "accessible" for those who do not have the money but like to have better IQ or those who have the money but do not want to spend it (like me, because I am waiting for the "perfect camera")
It probably has more in common with the A7III or A7SIII than the A6600 (starting with the the screen ratio, which is not 16:9)
You can't just replace the APS-C sensor with a FF one in a tiny body like this one, it is more complicated than that (but you can probably do the reverse of that like doing an EOS R body with an APS-C sensor, if the camera was designed to be FF in the first place, e.g. bigger).
I don’t think Sigma already did this. The fp, while great in it’s own right, is extremely lacking in some important areas:
- No AF - while it technically has AF, in practice it is unusable.
- No image stabilization (IBIS or Electronic)
- No EVF
- No flip screen
Most will find the Sony to be much easier to shoot with.
