Alpha 7C II Interchangeable Full Frame Camera - Silver

The camera is brilliant, but that isn't the main reason for this particular review. When I first received the camera I followed the standard procedure of fully charging the battery before use. This is where I then thought I had bought a lemon because as soon as I turned the camera on there was a "Battery Exhausted" message on the screen. To cut a long story short (as my dad used to say) there is from Sony a camera firmware available to resolve this issue, which of course the supplier cannot do as they would have to unpack the camera before it was sold. Just to point out, initially removing and re-inserting the battery needed to be done a couple of times to get the camera to come on, but once done it was very easy to update the camera firmware.

Great compact camera. I paired it with a small rig cage, Sony 24mm-70mm G Prime lens and the results are fantastic

i had purchased a7c in feb but return as i want to upgrade, then after 2 months i order a7cii which is you looking right now, And i was shocked when i saw the shutter count it was only 2, it was 200-300£ discounted price from other, packaging was amazing now issue. in addition which camera was eligible for insurance to i had buy straight away. overall i am happy i got the item more than i was expecting. note : product look like from gray market, it was intended to sell in UAE, with come with multiple table on bar codes, and without manual thank you soo much , you got the client for future purchases also.

Color diferente al de la publicación, empaque del producto venía sin sellos y tampoco incluye batería, únicamente la correa que es lo menos importante, en general con Amazon todo bien pero se está volviendo complicado pedir del extranjero por la aduana que abre todo, la cámara estaba llena de huellas, no está usada pero el que no venga sellado el empaque deja ciertas dudas.

Dans l'ensemble le produit répond à mes attentes, sauf que depuis quelques jours, alors que l'appareil est en mode prise de vue photo, tout d'un coup celui-ci enregistre une vidéo et l'écran LCD dysfonctionne. La seule solution est d'éteindre et rallumer l'appareil. La vente est réalisé par Amazon et malgré la garantie légale, le service client Amazon m'indique que la réparation ne peut pas être prise en charge mais me propose uniquement un remboursement, ou de contacter Sony (qui est le fabricant). Ce qui ne me convient pas car j'ai acheté d'autres matériels (objectifs) pour cet appareil. En espérant trouver une solution...

As a photography enthusiast who travels often and has a newborn, the A7C II is the perfect balance of portability and power. Having the same 33MP sensor as the A7IV but with the new AI-autofocus chip makes a world of difference when tracking a moving baby or pets. Technical Highlights: The 10-bit S-Log3 video is stunning, and I appreciate that the files are more manageable than Apple Log. The AI tracking is sticky and reliable. However, the compact size comes with a slight compromise in ergonomics. If you have medium-to-large hands, your pinky will likely hang off the bottom. Pros: Unbeatable AI-powered autofocus. Compact and lightweight—ideal for travel. Great 33MP resolution for cropping. Cons: Single SD card slot (might be a dealbreaker for professional weddings). The grip is a bit shallow (highly recommend adding a base plate).

Da poco ho acquistato questa fotocamera da aggiungere al mio corredo Sony, e la prima motivazione per l'acquisto è stata la leggerezza e compattezza senza rinunciare alla qualità a cui sono da tempo abituato (le mie fotocamere principali sono la A1MK2 e A7RM5 con svariate ottiche serie "G" e serie "GM") ed altro aspetto interessante era quello di poter utilizzare in primis tutte le ottiche Sony già in mio possesso e poter condividere con le altre fotocamere gli accessori importanti come batterie, carica batterie, ecc. Certamente non potevo rinunciare valutando gli scatti finiti, alla resa alla quale sono ormai abituato da tempo, a fronte della compattezza ci sono alcune rinunce da sopportare, ma che per me sono poco importanti, tipo il display e il mirino di qualità più bassa ovviamente rispetto alle altre due fotocamere ed anche il prezzo se pur importante è ben distante da quello delle sorelle maggiori. Altre cose alle quali non avrei mai rinunciato sono il sensore FF e la risoluzione che comunque per essere una compatta è di ben 33 MP. Amo stampare i miei lavori anche in dimensioni importanti (120 x 90 cm). Sulla qualità dei risultati avendo comunque fatto un parallelo con le sorelle maggiori in mio possesso, posso tranquillamente affermare di non aver perso nulla a fronte della grande comodità d'uso, gli scatti sono tranquillamente sovrapponibili (risoluzione e parte). Anche il rumore agli alti ISO, la velocità dell'autofocus, la stabilizzazione e la gestione delle luci ed ombre mi ha pienamente soddisfatto, d'altronde la 7CM2 deriva da un best-seller come la Sony A7 IV ulteriormente migliorata. Non mi esprimo sulla resa per la realizzazione di video in quanto uso le fotocamere esclusivamente per scattare fotografie. A seguito di questo acquisto mi sono dotato per la massima portabilità anche dell’ FE 40mm f 2.5 G ottica alla quale mi sono subito affezionato per le prestazioni e che con quel corpo macchina diventa proprio un sistema leggerissimo, sulla stessa via potrebbe entrare nel mio corredo anche l’ FE 24mm f 2.8 G della stessa serie. In sintesi, molto soddisfatto.

I've been eyeing Sony cameras for a while, contemplating a switch, and the Sony Alpha 7C II finally convinced me to make the jump. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I had made the right choice. The compact size immediately stood out, offering a sleek and stylish design in silver that feels fantastic to carry everywhere. Here are my thoughts: Pros: 1. Compact Size and Design: The small form factor means I can bring it along without feeling burdened. It's perfect for spontaneous shoots and casual day trips where capturing beauty in the moment is key. I hated bringing my Canon R6 with 24-105 f4 lens because it's a bit weighty and ended up using my phone most of the time. 2. Unlimited Recording Time: As someone who loves shooting videos, the unlimited recording time is a blessing. I can film longer sessions without the constant worry of hitting a recording cap. It does get warm but it has never discouraged me with that overheating icon. 3. Stunning Image and Video Quality: The quality of photos and videos is exceptional. With the sensor comparable to bigger Sony mirrorless, this is a no brainer when it comes to image and video quality. 4. Improved Autofocus: I know Sony is the king when it comes to this category (go on, change my mind) but when I jumped system from Canon, the speed and accuracy just blew my mind. This is another level of autofocus. Cons: It's not a perfect camera so here are the ones that I wish were improved. 1. Lower Resolution Screen: The screen resolution could be better. While not a deal-breaker, a sharper display would enhance the overall experience. 2. Viewfinder Resolution: The viewfinder is on the lower resolution side. It functions adequately, but a bit more clarity would be appreciated. 3. Single SD Card Slot: Having only one SD card slot can be limiting, especially during if one is doing some client work. Having 2 sd cards just give one a peace of mind. I did realize that with its compact size, it would be a challenge to get. Despite these minor drawbacks, the pros far outweigh the cons for me. The compact size alone makes it an absolute joy to carry around. Pair it with a small prime lens, and it becomes the ultimate everyday camera setup. It’s rekindled my love for walking around with a camera in hand, ready to capture whatever catches my eye. All in all, the Sony Alpha 7C II is a fantastic camera for anyone looking to combine portability with full-frame power. If you've been considering a switch to Sony like I was, this camera is worth to consider.
