The Sony A7C and Sony A7 III are full-frame mirrorless cameras from Sony’s Alpha series. Still, some critical differences between the two cameras may make one a better choice for your needs.
Here is a comparison of the critical features of the Sony A7C and the Sony A7 III:
Size and Weight: The Sony A7C is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it an excellent option for travel and street photography. The Sony A7 III, on the other hand, is more extensive and heavier, but this also means that it has a better grip and more buttons and controls, making it easier to use.
Image Quality: Both cameras have 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensors, which provide excellent image quality. However, the Sony A7 III has an advantage in terms of high-speed continuous shooting, with a maximum frame rate of 10 frames per second, compared to the Sony A7C’s six frames per second.
Video Capabilities: Both cameras can shoot 4K video, but the Sony A7 III has several advanced video features, such as S-Log3 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profiles, which provide greater control over color grading and allow you to create cinematic-quality videos.
Autofocus: Both cameras have fast and accurate systems, but the Sony A7 III has a higher number of autofocus points, making it easier to track moving subjects.
Battery Life: The Sony A7 III has a larger battery capacity and can take more photos on a single charge than the Sony A7C.
Connectivity: Both cameras have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but the Sony A7 III also has NFC (Near Field Communication) for easy pairing with a smartphone.
