Product Reviews

I bought this last month. Worth the money that I spent

Being a A7c owner and loving the camera, it was easy to make the jump up to A7c2. All that quality in a small package. Takes you to the next level with the tech of the A74 and some of the tech from the A75. I love them both.

I bought this a month ago. I love the lightweight and and simple design. And its so easy to use, sharp and fast autofocus. I have yet to explore more features but its been in my bag most of the time.

I love the Sony A7C II so much! I think its literally the perfect camera for beginners to pro's! This 33MP sensor is MORE than enough for professional photography, but the interface is also user friendly. I have paired this with the Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN ART Lens, and I am SO IMPRESSED with how great the image quality is coming from the A7C II, as well as the blazing fast auto-focus and new features that frankly make this one of the best Full Frame Camera's you can buy today, especially for the price! This is really an updated Sony A74, with the same 33mp sensor - and the new A.I. which just makes this camera incredible. If you are debating getting this camera, i HIGHLY suggest you buy it! And if your only complaint is that it's a little too small feeling in your hands, remember you can buy the same sony grip that comes with the A7CR, or buy a baseplate from SmallRig, Neewer, or other great companies that make it so you can buy from to expand your accesories. I would rate this camera 10/10! The best thing about it is it is the perfect hybrid camera! It does exceptionally well in video, and exceptionally well in photography. You can't go wrong! If you do end up buying it, enjoy it! God bless!

This is my first Sony camera I’ve purchased as so far it’s been fantastic up until i found out I can’t use a wired remote shutter with it. I have a camera motorised camera slide that has an input for a wired remote to enable timelapse shooting. Take a shot move along slider take a shot and so on. Maybe a firmware update and the correct usb-c cable to connect to the slider will come available soon. Otherwise it’s back to Panasonic for me, sorry sony.I know the camera has a built in Timelapse function and can use a wireless remote but still doesn’t solve my problem of connecting it to the slider.

Excellent camera, I sold my FX6, my A7iii and got this excellent ai camera. Great work Sony!

I upgraded my A7C to the A7C II last September 2024 and I am glad i did. The mark II now has an AI chip that improves on faster focus. The better sensor is also an improvement from the 24 the 33mp. More focus points (429 to 759).

Nice size, with the 28-60 lens is very compact. The kit lens is worth having but a 24-70mm at the same size would be better, assuming the same IQ. I like the focus stack and Panorama features, Auto focus is excellent with our dogs. Well built the only competitor would be the A6700, particularly in relation to lens sizes.

The A7C2 is a compact full frame camera that is very fun and enjoyable to use. It is features packed and has a very good auto focus system. The image quality is very good and pleasing. Love this camera and hopes Sony will introduce more of these types of cameras.

Having come from A7ii for the past 5 years, this is huge upgrade for me. It has a touch screen, faster AF and is lighter too. Love the silver tone as well!

I have purchased numerous Sony cameras in the past and this camera is fast becoming my favorite shooter. The product I obtain with it's usage surprises me to no end. Clear, sharp and impressive photos. Whether I use it in the daytime or at night. The photos are excellent when printed. I will not hesitate to use this camera for my professional jobs.

I bought this camera as an upgrade to my 6300. It has exceeded my expectations in every sense. While many functions are similar, this is a much easier camera to use. It may be years before I fully master its capabilities, but what enjoyment I will have in the process

It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a versatile, professional-grade camera in a compact size. Feature heavy and would need sometime to get along.

What i like most about a7c is its compactibility (light and sleek) and the design (I bought the silver one coz it looks retro to me). However, with regards to the screen, i prefer the 180° tilting touch screen just like a6400 has. (I just feel ackward to see the screen on the left side of the camera when it's open while i have to focus on shooting the object straight)

Bought this as my "B" camera body to go with my A7RV and it has caught me! I reach for this one first unless it's a serious wildlife or sports opportunity.

Got this nearly a couple of months ago now, and have since been fiddling with it non-stop every single day! I wouldn't say taking good photos with a camera is the easiest thing to learn, but the learning process in itself is rewarding. I bought it with the kit lens and got myself several other lenses from third parties, and a couple of vintages which seems to all function well enough with the camera, love that Sony is giving its customers a wide range of options to play with. I initially picked this up as a side hobby, but now happily see myself doing this to the day I "buy the farm"! :)

A7C II is a good camera. Was able to mount my primes Summicron 50, Voightlander 20,40 fine. The fact that a large company such as SONY would do such cheap tactics is appalling. After 20 years of owning Sony Cameras both still and Video now you get NO Charger, Manuals, USB Cable, CD Software. I almost sent the camera back because of this. But I printed out the 500 page manual and started to read about it. Used your competitor Battery Charger, Cable and SSD Drive.

Down sizing to a manageable lighter camera system was my goal and with the full frame A7c II I think I accomplished what I was looking for.

I previously owned an A6000 and loved the form factor with the viewfinder to the left of the lens and lack of an 'old style' SLR bump to house the viewfinder. This made it far more pocketable and hence was carried with me more often. After all, they say the best camera is the one you carry with you! Full frame and 33mp in a package not dissimilar to a rangefinder camera but with interchangeable lenses; the latter was the clincher for me. I looked at other manufacturers, but their lens support wasn't as extensive as Sony or as easy on the pocket. And the addition of the front wheel on the A7cii means I can use the front wheel for the aperture, the back wheel for the shutter, and customise the third for the ISO. The results are impressive - with IBIS I've managed to hand hold at 1/3rd shutter speed and get sharp results. On other cameras I've owned, anything below 1/30th has been a gamble. Previously I have been a professional photographer, and this has outshone some of those cameras; the only reason I couldn't use this as a 'pap' camera is that if you don't turn up with some heavyweight SLR, you won't get a PRESS vest! Very understated camera and I’m looking forward to adding to my Sony lens range.

i buy this camera on this month，i can feel this camera very technologi，great experience

Absolutely love this little beauty. Joins my a9 and a6000 and very happy with the feature set.

I Am enjoying getting to grips with this camera. its very different to the cameras that I had before.

This camera is small but the quality is definitely not small as its body. Thirty three Mega-Pixels is large enough for cropping, but still missing the quality of the stolen A7R-III, my previous camera. The focusing is precise and well tracking on my girlfriend and my cat's eyes, so that I may not need a joystick to work on my decided focus points. The lightweight makes it is easy to carry around even more than A7R-III with a little bid of less ergonomic and less comfortable on my hands. I bought this camera mainly for still photo shooting, so I have no opinion in videographer's perspective, but I think it would be improved significantly from predecessor. Another thing I want to mention is that I do not understand about the camera's grip design. When I compare it to a similar sized camera like A6700, which being released before this one. The grip of A6700 is just deeper and feels much better. This is a real downside and a disappointment for me. Overall, this camera is one of the best compact camera in the market ant the moment.

Finally made the change from my bulky dslr’s after many years, should have done it far sooner !

I’ve been really impressed with this camera. I had a Sony a5100 for years and I loved it, but as I’ve got into photography more I wanted some more advances features. After using that I was certain I wanted another Sony camera. I read a lot of reviews, rumours and online specs before buying the camera so my expectations were already high, but it has easily surpassed them. It’s packed with advanced features and feels really high end, but it’s also very compact, especially with the kit lens. Most of all I’ve been really impressed with the stunning image quality. I’ve managed to take lost of shots I’ve been really pleased with. The kit lens is really sharp and takes great photos when paired with the full frame sensor. The auto focus is also really fast and reliable and is even fast with older lenses. The whole camera body feels really well built and surprisingly nice to hold given the small size. All of the buttons and dials are very well laid out and the fact that they can be customised is great. A lot of the reviews I read were critical of the view finder, but I’ve found it more than adequate and certainly prefer it to using the screen in bright sun. I’ve also been really impressed by the in body stabilisation even managing to take long exposures (of around half a second) hand held. Great all round.

The performance is great, however, I wish the handle was a bit larger like the a6700... Also, the ISO setting location on the back dial doesn't work. I kept changing my ISO inadvertently with normal handling. I finally removed that feature and left the "ISO" featured space blank.

A recent purchase as I was looking for something with a small form factor and this fits the bill. Great ergonomics although I did fit a bottom mounting plate unfortunately not the Sony one as it is a bit expensive. I am lucky enough to own the A1 & A9 and this is a great addition to my collection now I just have to save for the smaller lenses to go with it.

This is my first Sony and full-frame camera having moved from Fujifilm. Given the similar price to APSC Fujifilm and compact size I was drawn to Sony. I wish the JPEGS were better and there more options to customise them like Fujifilm. I also wish that you could use both Mechanical and Electronic shutter when shooting above 1/4000

This is my first Sony camera (I am a Canon user). I am impressed by its performance. It is lightweight and good as a regular travel camera. The first photos I've taken are attached. I'm looking forward to taking more photos. I love this camera for its features, low-light performance, and lightweight so that I can take it with me.

After 20 years of using Canon cameras system I just had enough, as moving to new cameras requires adapter either way for the use of the lens I have, I decided I had enough on how canon deal with their users, draining none original batteries and forcing you to buy only canon original to get performance.. so Sony! The camera is Compact, the first time in awhile i am able to carry around my camera and not worry about the size and weight. It's light and powerful. I do a lot of photography in clubs and dark situations, and even in iso3200 the camera produces amazing results, my canon lens works so much better on the Sony then on the canon it is incredible! Including lenses that i gave hope of getting good results with. Also the following focus on eyes is insane, would have been nice to have an easy button to switch the focusing Eye from right to left, also easy button to switch between the eyepiece to screen, and disabling the sensor for the eye piece that close the screen every time i try to do stuff on the screen with my left hand And another thing i would appreciated, a printed manual, or at least an easy link to download a manual which took me a whole week to find.. really stupid So far figuring out the different functionality takes a lot of time but I'm getting it. It's am awesome camera and can't wait to explore more of the world with it

I come from Sony A6300 so this A7CII is a lot of camera for me. It's a huge upgrade and it will be good for another 10 years. I love the ergonomic of the camera, feels good in the hand. Not so heavy. Autofocus is flawless. Image quality from a full-frame sensor is the best.

Just switched from Canon. No regrets. Sharpness and colour is amazing. Need to figure out if an E lens will end up giving me APS-C, which is not what I want! There does not seem to be much clarity about this on the Web. Also would like to buy an EF to FE adapter so that I can keep my Canon lenses.

Bought it for travel and EDC camera to shoot streets, people, food and generally wver9inder the sky. It's compact and light weight body couple with the ultra compact SEL35F28Z makes this the perfect combo.

Coming from A6400 and A9, was looking forward to seeing what this camera was capable of after reading reviews on it. Have to say very impressed from initial use. The bump in resolution, IBIS, and colours straight out of camera give nice clean and sharp images full of colour and detail. Editing raw files able to recover so much detail. Loving the swipe shortcut menu and fn on the screen, really quick and easy to use. Autofocus is super sticky as I've come to expect. Superb upgrade over my A6400 (which I loved for it's it' convenience) and whilst a little bigger, the added bells and whistles really shine. Only thing that will take some getting used to is new position of on/off switch toggle.

I am happy with the build quality and its compact in size

The touchscreen is a big improvement. The autofocus seems to be much faster than A7C

I purchased the camera because I want a convenient camera to carry around with me and I wanted access to the new AI Subject Recognition and Tracking, New improved IBISN new menus system and the upgraded 33MP full frame sensor.

Recently I saw that my brother had sold everything he had to make a change for the Sony a7c machines. He purchased both models, so I got to hear about their performance and features from one of the most intense photographers I know. He explores every feature and every convenience a camera offers. I'm not a professional like he is so I am allowed to make mistakes, but I didn't. The controls on the camera are easy to reach and it still is comfortable for my hand size. I enjoy the control dials to avail myself to shooting fine jpeg black and white when I want to break away from RAW. Thirty-three megapixels is still more than I need but standards are changing and I can able to cope comfortably with this. The touch screen makes life easier, although it would be faster if my eyesight was better. (Not a Sony issue) The optional handgrip is a must though I am glad to be able to remove it for tripod work. Sony lenses are a great reason to buy this camera! Being able to turn the sound off is a selling point for me. It's just noise!

I bought it to replace my A7iv which was a bit too bulky. the compact design makes it easier to carry around or travel with. It has great features and focusing powers are unbelievable. I am an amateur photographer and I travel a lot. This camera is perfect for me.

Like: features all time manual focus, Exp compensation button can be configurable, good image quality. Fast and accurate focus. Do not like: shutter sound, "image play button" and "delete button" are not responsive. Shutter button is not as sensitive as Canon 1D series, Fuji cameras yet.

Stunning image quality combined with one of the best Full Frame sensors. High quality design, compact footprint and intuitive menus. Highly recommended.

I was confused to choose between A7CM2 and A7M4 because they have so many similarities, bunch of people said if you want to be pro you beed to choose A7M4, but when I tried it, it is just too heavy and too bulky for me, then I choose A7CM2 I have been using this camera for several weeks, never disappointed. Easy to handle and store, also the AI is very powerful to detect object.

Have has the camera a couple of weeks now and in some ways it matched perfectly what I wanted with its small form factor. I am a full time professional photographer and have lots of Sony gear but wanted this body for purely hobby use. However I am disappointed in four elements of this Sony body. Firstly the lack of a joystick is very poor in a camera at this price point but to be fair I was aware of this before purchasing. My major disappointment with this body though is that if I am using Auto I.S.O I can not manually select my shutter speed and only have the options of slow, normal, fast and faster. I wasn't aware of this before buying and if I had of known I probably would have just bought another A7IV. Extremely poor decision making from Sony. I guess they purposely decided to gimp the camera in some ways compared to the higher end bodies. Its a pity because I like the small form factor a.f performance is good and seems improved from previous iterations. Also Sony come on in this day and age having only one card slot is also a pretty poor decision as is the pretty awful LCD screen and the low res E.V.F. the camera also ships with nothing other than the camera and battery. It is bad enough that it does not ship with a charger but this body does not even include a USB cable. Smacks of Sony trying to make as much profit as possible!

I don't really know how to use it as I'm a beginner but I've had some good results already.

Excellent compact and beautiful camera. I bought 2 lenses 35mm 1.8f and 20-70mm 4f From Sony as well. The picture turn out great . Thank you

I brought this camera a few days ago and everyday is a new and better experience. I was blessed to be able to do a new york fashion week event. I was so impressed with raw power of this camera. How fast and accurate the auto focus was, was VERY impressive as well. I am a VERY satisfied customer!!

Was suppose to be my secondary cam for my a7iv, in the end it became my main camera as it was so compact and efficient. I travel alot for shoots, and this combined with my gimbal makes run-and-gun shoots a breeze. Rigging it up is also easy and doesn't take too much of my bag space. Definitely reccomended!

I have been using a7cii for a month now, the autofocus very reliable and accurate. menu setting is easy to setup. But there are some cons on the camera itself: 1. The screen resolution and EVF resolution are too poor with this price. 2. no joystick for adjust focus area. 3. no dual card slot, can referring Nikon using micro SD as secondary card slot.

I bought the silver model from Sony. Sony mirrorless has good colour and acceptable video features My leica is heavier and needs post processing, sony is a good travel camera and requires less post processing

For me this is the perfect sensor size. The images that I've taken are Sharp with good colour rendition. I find the camera comfortable and easy to use with my Sony lenses. There is still much to explore but after 3 weeks using this camera daily I'm delighted with it.

It so cool 😀 i try to find fullframe camera, it's my first time to use mirrorless camera. I find about small size/ low weight / new tech / everyday used. I think, it's perfect for me 😁😁😁

Previously I had the A6400. The A7C ii is a big step up and only 100g heavier. 2 extra dials make it much easier to adjust shutter speed and aperture. Full frame gives access to much more choice, higher quality and faster lenses. Autofocus is much more reliable, especially in video. I'm very happy with the images and videos I am getting. Menu system is much improved, though still difficult to navigate or undestand all the options.

bought it in Dec 2023 and been really happy with the purchase. It is lightweight and really good for me as I mainly used the camera for travelling and street photography. Upgraded from a7II and really love the upgrade so far.

I bought this a month ago! And i would say its one of my best investment so far. I am excited to use it on my upcoming travels this year.

Been waiting for this compact FF camera for too long, finally I have it. Very happy to the max!!!

Overall I'm like the compact size and lighter full frame camera for travel.So far image quality I'm satisfied but without joystick for focusing and viewfinder too small .
