We’re comparing the Sony A7c and Nikon Z7, two Mirrorless cameras from Sony and Nikon, respectively. The Sony Alpha A7c is a camera in the Advanced Mirrorless class, whereas the Nikon Z7 is in the Pro Mirrorless class.

The Sony A7c will be available on the market in September 2020, while the Nikon Z7 will be available in August 2018. A7c is two years younger than Z7, as seen in the graph. Let’s see if the age difference between the two cameras significantly impacts their performance.

The A7C is still a fantastic low-light camera, despite its age. If the subject called for it, depending on the lighting conditions, I could obtain good shots at ISO 12,800 or even higher with no discernible noise. That makes it suitable for use at concerts, in dimly lit areas, and at night, even when using a slow kit lens like the 28-60mm f/3.5-5.6 one that comes with the camera.

The Sony a7C and Nikon Z7 are high-end full-frame mirrorless cameras targeting severe photographers and professionals. Here’s a detailed comparison of the two cameras:

Image sensor: Both cameras have a full-frame image sensor, with the Sony a7C having a 24.2-megapixel sensor and the Nikon Z7 has a 45.7-megapixel sensor. The Nikon Z7 has a higher pixel count, which provides more detail in images, but the Sony a7C has a more advanced image processing engine, which offers better image quality.

Autofocus: The Sony a7C has a more advanced autofocus system, with 567 phase-detection points, compared to the Nikon Z7, which has 493 phase-detection points. The a7C’s autofocus system is faster and better suited for tracking fast-moving subjects, while the Z7’s autofocus system is still fast and accurate, but it’s not as good as the a7C’s system.

Burst shooting: The Sony a7C can continuously shoot up to 10 fps with a mechanical or electronic shutter and eight fps with a mechanical shutter. The Nikon Z7 can continuously shoot up to 9 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 5.5 fps with the electronic shutter.

Video recording: Both cameras can record 4K video, but the Sony a7C has a full-pixel readout, which provides better image quality. The Nikon Z7 has a higher frame rate for slow-motion video recording, but the a7C has better image stabilization.

Ergonomics: The Sony a7C is a more compact camera than the Nikon Z7, making it easier to carry and handle. The Z7 is a bit larger and heavier but has a more substantial grip and controls.

Lens options: Both cameras are compatible with their respective lens systems, with the Sony a7C being consistent with the Sony E-mount lens system and the Nikon Z7 being compatible with the Nikon Z-mount lens system. Both lens systems have a wide range of options, including high-quality prime, zoom, and special-purpose lenses.

Price: The Nikon Z7 is more expensive than the Sony a7C, making it more accessible to serious photographers and professionals willing to invest in a high-end camera.

Battery life: The Sony a7C has a longer battery life than the Nikon Z7, making it more suitable for extended shooting sessions.
