Sony Alpha ILCE-7C Compact Full Frame Camera (4K, Flip Screen, Light Weight, Real time Tracking, Content Creation, 3 Optical Zoom) – Silver & Sony E 20mm f/1.8 G Lens…

This is a great Full frame mirrorless camera and the fact that it is compact makes it so much easy to carry everywhere. Kit lens is average, it’s not wide so you can’t get good landscape shots. Okayish Bokeh. But the moment you pair camera with professional portrait lens, you realise the power this camera delivers. Stunningly sharp images, fast focus, Eye AF is cherry on top and one of the reasons A7C scores better than A73. The initial shock of pathetic delivery and mess that Amazon made makes me very nervous about doing costly purchases on Amazon. The camera delivered to me did not have external charger, ANC headphones were missing and above all the kit lens had water on it. Thankfully it works fine but Amazon cheated me by sending a used product. I haven’t received any resolution yet. But this from ShopAtSC or Sony center. Adding some more pictures taken with A7C and Samyang 85mm F1.4.

I chose the kit lens and I think I should have opted for body only. I am a beginner in photography and I found the kit lens to be mediocre. f4 is only on 28mm. I do get a tick tick noise when I rotate the camera from left to right. I am hoping that it is the stabilization and not a fault. It feels like a solid camera and I hope I learn more.

I have attached an unedited photo from the kit lens.

I am moving from Nikon system D610. I decided to take the plunge and move systems after a long consideration. This camera is a compact setup. I like that and it doesn’t compromise in picture quality. In fact it is easy to carry around this camera with a prime lens and whip out and take pictures anywhere anytime. Autofocus is fast. Only downside I feel is that there aren’t enough touch functionalities (e.g. navigating the menu using touch). Picture qualities are amazing. Low light performance is also wonderful. Had never managed to take such crisp photos at high iso in the Nikon world. The camera is also very quiet. There are plenty of YouTube videos discussing pros and cons. Do look through if you are considering buying. One thing I realised is that this model does sacrifice certain features in order to keep it compact form factor (e.g. MP or video capture features). If you prefer feature rich camera and form factor is secondary, then this is not the camera for you. But if you are a serious amateur, and would rather have a powerful camera for the travel or walk about , then this is a wonderful pick.

Paired it with Sigma 24-70mm and what a combo it is. Fast, Sharp and nice bokeh.
