Sony a7C silver
Despite the compact size of the camera body, which is the world’s smallest and lightest, the α7C delivers the spectacular image quality for both stills and movies that you’d expect from a full-frame camera. Fast, wide and steadfast AF, rapid-fire continuous shooting and a handy vari-angle LCD monitor help capture the action whenever it happens.
Full-frame imaging in a compact body
Bigger sensors create better images, and the α7C’s full-frame sensor is much larger than the sensors in smartphones, compact digital cameras and similar-sized APS-C interchangeable-lens cameras. The resulting increased light collection allows for professional-quality images with reduced noise, and more retained detail in both shadows and highlights.
Easy battery charging even when shooting
The large-capacity Z battery tucked into the α7C’s compact body can take advantage of a USB power supply. A USB Type-C® cable is all you need for charging, and you can shoot while you’re charging.
Sturdy dust- and moisture-resistant construction
Lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy is used for the camera’s top, front and rear covers, and sealing is provided throughout the body to minimize dust and moisture entry.
