Our comparison will be between the Sony A7c and the Sony A6300, both of which are Advanced Mirrorless cameras. The Sony A7c is scheduled to hit the market in September 2020, and the Sony A6300 was unveiled in February of that year. Observe that A6300 is 4 years older than A7c, as indicated. Let’s see if the age difference between the two cameras makes a significant impact on their performance.

The bigger sensor in the Alpha A7C, as well as the faster and more accurate autofocus and higher sensitivity, are all advantages of the camera. We particularly appreciate the optical image stabilizer, the rather pleasant touch screen, and the fact that the battery has a longer life span than the competition. Another advantage of the Alpha A6300 over its predecessor is the compatibility with USB 3.0. Given the current image size and the needs of 4K video, this is hardly a luxury.
