The Alpha A7C has several advantages, including a quicker shutter speed, faster and more precise autofocus, and higher sensitivity. In addition, we appreciate the optical image stabilizer, the relatively pleasant touch screen, and the enhanced video recording capabilities of this device. The fact that the battery has longer endurance than the Alpha A7R, that it is lighter than the Alpha A7R, and that it supports USB 3.0 make recommending the Alpha A7C simple. Given the size of today’s images and the need for a 4K video, this seems like an absurd luxury.
