if you're like me you came from shooting film cameras you might
feel the same as i do that digital cameras are big
like DSLR are bigger than SLR... bigger than film SLR
and even compact camera only the Sony RX1 is actually a compact size
full frame camera and there's only one
Well the a7 is actually quite small for a full-frame camera
so for small camera it's really up to Sony to do something
about it and they have! i have been waiting for a small
full frame camera and this is it for all of us all get used to
full frame digital camera this doesn't feel like a full-frame digital camera
but it is full frame! Look at that it's full!
Well a7 camera are usually
quite small anyway compared to other brands
if you... even across all the a7 it's so small, some pros think it is too
small actually so a7 actually have been growing bigger
and bigger after every series
especially the hand... the grip, the hand grip
so this one this is come back to almost like the
a6600, a6400 size i think, i don't have one that direct
compared to this now but it feels like it
actually looking back at this
a6600 looks like it still got a bigger grip
than the a7C the a7C grip actually looks more like
a6100 but then i have been talking about it is
small but does smaller means less?
actually a lot of things on this camera is really similar to the a7III
you can almost kind of think that this
is a smaller a7III it has 24 megapixels same as
a7III uh dynamic range 15 stop, claimed 15 stops
they say it is the same as the a7III as well 10 fps burst even for
mechanical or electronic shutter, same 10 fps burst it has in body
stabilization and same a7III, 5 stops
and i love that it still has the real time tracking which is something
that i really love ever since the sony a7... not a7! a6400
i love it so much for all the cameras that have real time
tracking i would put them on constant AFC
tracking mode it is so good i would just use AFC for everything
more importantly real-time tracking is missing from a7III
that makes it one thing that actually a7c is
better than a7III
and for video, 6K oversampled 4K
full pixel readout... all of that you would expect
S-log2, S-log3, HLG, it's all you
expected to be honest
well the viewfinder is really...
well you can see from... you can see from here you don't even have to try it
it is the size of my RX100 the pop up, the tiny pop-up
viewfinder it is almost that size so put it in your eye well it's not too
much of a trouble but of course bigger is better but then the resolution is
still the same as the a7III it just the size is smaller and
of course it's not as high resolution as the a7SIII or the a7RIV
now look the camera body
what else is the same is the camera body material it's also... it is still the magnesium
alloy body and it is really solid it still has splash proof and dust
resistance now it also use the Z type battery
which is great i don't think they will go back to
use the tiny battery that my a7SII has it has
the flip screen it's like these days all the camera manufacturers don't argue
with you anymore yeah everyone want flip screen okay
give you a flip screen look at the side of course it has
mic jack and good that is also got headphone jack as well even in this
small body and it can charge with USB-C
and power by USB-C as well now what's the difference between
this and the big and the bigger brother is that it's
i mentioned it has in-body stabilization for uh five stops
but if you compare to a7RIV that have 5.5 stop
in-body stabilization which this is uh five stops
actually it has a half a stop difference but then there's a big difference
is that here there is no front dial you only have a back dial
and the wheel here now this doesn't have two card slots this has
one card slot i mean all the latest a7 has two card slots, a7III
a7 nine...(laugh) a9 a7R they all have two card slots only
one but one thing fortunate is that it is on
it is interesting that it is at this side
this is much better than if it is at the bottom like all the a6000 series
at the bottom the first time i picked it
up i was looking for um not here i thought it is at the battery
no it is on this side! this is interesting one thing I quite disappointed
is that it still use the old menu not the new really great improved
a7SIII new menu shame
it also has a new lens this is the
new kit lens 24... no! 28-60mm f/4-5.6
now this lens you can kind of this is kind of like half glass full or
half glass empty because some people don't like
that oh before i use it i have to extend it
which is Kai! Kai hates this kind of lens but for me
i actually like this because i think oh if i don't want...
if i don't use it i can retract it
so yeah half glass full or half glass empty
well 28mm is not really
for vlogging but it's really great for street photography but for vlogging
you will want something that's wider than 24mm
i of course read the rumour and i expect that, i kind of expect that
because it's smaller so i expect it's cheaper
i expect the specification is not as good as other a7 camera
and turns out the price the really... i mean
a really important aspect is the price is actually
around the same price as a7III turns out this is not how
Sony market this. this is not between a7R3 and a6600 this is actually
the same as a7III which is not expected so what do you
think what do you think of this it's a smaller camera...
by the way it's a... it's a silver version, actually it's kind of nice, I like two tone
Does smaller camera equal cheaper or
and less performance camera or it doesn't really matter?
usually at the end of this i will tell you my last video is shot with this
but not this time. This time this is the first time I touched this camera as well
but this is mine for the next week i've already borrow this and
expect a fuller full review of this camera
bye!
