Sony officially announces the Alpha a7c, the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera.
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
To be honest it is appealing. I would love the R6 inside an RP body. For the capturing of family memories which is all I need it seems like it would work for family use. However I just got the R6.

Watched a couple reviews on the features. 4k crop, viewfinder blows, one card slot, IS sucks...yaddayaddayadda. I really don't see the appeal and at this price point I don't see too many buying it. Just my two cents.

Me: What?
Sony: People are buying those Canons like crazy, we must do something, but we don't know what. So, let's behead the A73 and repackage it with lazy marketing - no one would notice.

The title says "Sony officially announces the Alpha a7c, the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera.", but fact is that it's not the lightest full frame camera. Not even the lightest digital full frame camera.
Same holds for "The new FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 offers the world’s smallest and lightest[iv] form factor in a standard zoom lens".
I guess when you say it loud and often, people will believe it.

At this price point, you might as well go for the Sony A7s3 where you at least GET a proper viewfinder and of course that FANTASTIC NIGHTVISION MODE that the Sony A7s3 well deserves accolades for!
The Sony A7c is just too "Crippled" at that HUGE price point compared to a Canon M50, M5 and even the Canon RP models of hybrid-style cameras. Those last three models ALL have superior ergonomics and weather sealing AND are actually cheaper!
For the Vloggers who don't want to spend a lot of money, I actually SUGGEST getting the Canon M50 along with a superior-quality high end 35mm prime lens (the Sigma ART series 35mm is my favourite!) That lens is definitely wide enough for you Vloggers and it is FAR SUPERIOR GLASS to the standard Canon kit lens in terms of sharpness, colour, contrast, etc!
Price Canon M50 $649 USD

Price Sigma Art f/1.4 prime lens 35mm $699 USD

Rhode Wireless microphone kit: $199 USD (Use your iPhone or Android phone as your multi-take 24 hour capable sound files master recorder!)

With this combo and a Rhode microphone setup, you are GOOD to go for high quality 4K 24 fps Cinematic Vlogging and you can always upgrade later to a Canon RP or R5 camera and STILL use that fancy Art series lens and Rhode microphone on either of them! Spend the money on a BETTER LENS and upgrade later when the market will stabilize with more video-centric hybrid camera options in 2022!

C stands for „crippled“
first I thought it will be a cinema camera ^^... before I saw this small thing.
crazy price. No entry level FF by Sony^^!
So still no sensor protection? Like Canons R+6&5 has?!

I'm totally amused by Sony's Marketing.
Smallest** and Lightest: ***
** with an interchangable zoom lens already attached. *** of all the ones that have IBIS.

Talk about desperate marketing!
It makes a nice small second camera to carry in your bag if you already have something like a Sony A9 II. Other then that, you'd be better off with an A7 III.
