Sony a7c, the New Full Frame Camera Leaks: Features

On September 14 Sony has scheduled an event to show a new camera concept and we already knew something about it. Now, unless there is some last minute surprise, that will be the Sony a7C . A camera that mixes the best of the manufacturer’s Full Frame series with its other important family, that of APS-C cameras.

Sony a7C, the perfect fusion

We have had a very busy second half of the year in terms of photo and video cameras . In recent months we have witnessed the launch of important novelties that have turned the market upside down. So much so that, while it is true that it is great to have so many good options, it is also very difficult to choose which could be your next ideal camera.

Sony a7c

Doing a quick review of all the news, some already analyzed even by us, we have the following:

  • Sony ZV-1, a camera with a very thoughtful approach to vloggers that we really liked. Compact, with a great capacity to record video and that automatic focus system for which Sony stands out. Only this time much more reactive
  • Lumix G100 , another proposal focused on the video blogger about which we will tell you more details soon. It is not a point and shoot to use, but that is partly one of its strengths
  • Canon EOS R5 and EOS S6 , the first is capable of recording video at 8K resolution and the second, which we have also analyzed here, seemed to us to be a very capable camera both in photo and video. Although it is true that that part of the video is left half considering what other options on the market offer. Still, right now they are Canon’s two most interesting bets
  • Sony a7S III, we would go so far as to say that it is this year’s great focusing mirror camera for video. Its AF system, its ability to record 4K video at 120 fps and that ability to capture images with a high dynamic range position it as the model to beat.
  • Panasonic Lumix S5 , this is a new camera with a Full Frame sensor that we could say shares a bit of the approach that this new Sony camera seems to have.
  • Nikon Z5 the last Full Frame with an economic approach that we knew from Nikon. Interesting, although it is not a model that has attracted attention for that group of users so important today who are dedicated to video topics

Rumor Sony a7C

Well, with all these cameras, I wish every year was so moved by what it means to have such great options. The last to join this group of new cameras seems to be the next proposal from Sony. This concept from which images and features have been leaked that, unless a major surprise, can mean the ultimate camera for many advanced users looking for a compact option.

And is that, the Sony a7C would be the Sony a6600 only with a Full Frame sensor. That is, if when we analyzed it, we said that the a6600 was at times an identical proposal and sometimes better than the popular Sony a7 III, this new camera could directly be the Sony a7 III dreamed of by many thanks to an articulated screen.

According to rumors from Sony Alpha Rumors, the new Sony a7C would arrive with the following features:

  • 24 MP sensor like Sony a7 III
  • Articulated screen (practically the best for many users who want to self-record among other things)
  • AF system with the latest news seen on the A7S III
  • Body identical to that of the Sony a6600, very small, light and with the electronic viewfinder on one side
  • Ability to record video at 4K 30p resolution with no time limit
  • USB C
  • A slot for SD cards

Meet the new Sony a7C

Looking at the photographs and rumors, it is clear that the new Sony camera will be the one we see here. And yes, we can advance as it will be very interesting. We could even go on to say that it would be a perfect camera for advanced vloggers , demanding users who are looking for something that allows them to obtain a material superior to what a proposal like the Sony ZV-1 for example can achieve.

All this without giving up a compact body, comfortable to always carry, with the option of using interchangeable lenses and with an AF system that together with the folding screen would allow you to frame yourself and not fear that there may be out of focus shots. And the best, with a price that would be around 2,000 euros . A high price depending on what other cameras you compare it with, but very striking seeing these characteristics.

In three days we will get rid of doubts and we will be able to know small details that, perhaps, Sony have reserved. Especially how this model will fit into the current catalog of cameras from the Japanese manufacturer.
