We’re comparing the Sony a7C and Nikon Z50, two Mirrorless cameras from Sony and Nikon, respectively. The Sony Alpha a7C is a camera in the Advanced Mirrorless class, whereas the Nikon Z50 is a camera in the Entry-Level Mirrorless class.
The Sony a7C will be available on the market in September 2020, while the Nikon Z50 will be available in October 2019. Because the age gap between A7c and Z50 is just 11 months, we anticipate that this will be a fair comparison in terms of both age and technological level.

The bigger sensor, built-in automated sensor cleaning, and greater resolution of the Alpha A7C are some of the camera’s advantages. Additionally, the faster and more accurate auto focus, a greater array of lenses, and an optical image stabilizer are also advantages of the Sony. The fact that the battery has longer endurance, that it is more compact, and that it supports USB 3.0 are all excellent touches. Given the size of today’s images and the needs of 4K video, this seems like an absurd luxury.
