    I am in a dilemma to choose between A7iii and A7c. Wouldn't a shutter speed of 1/4000 in a7c be a problem to shoot wide open in a bright sunny day??

    One thing to note about the A7C and its shutter speed is that with Silent Shooting Mode turned off, the max limit is 1/4000 but if you turn on Silent Mode it goes up to a max of 1/8000 which now helps under heavy bright light situations. Hope that helps others make a more definitive purchase against the two cameras :).

    Missed the most important factor; the improved IBIS. So far only KZreadrs have really cared about Sony entry level full frame for video work. For anything in the field, especially because the Fujifilm weather sealing is so much better, the IBIS on the A7III is terrible when compared to the Fujifilm X-T4. Sony was only "slightly behind" in numerical stop terms, but the planar distortion put it far behind because the sensor size is a big part of determining it. The A7C is much more usable and really is the first full frame camera around the $2000 price area that can almost match the X-T4, and beating the Z6II.

    Price is market dependent. Here A7C is $500 more than A7III; or for A7C body only with flip screen and single card slot, one gets A7III with dual card slots with faster shutter and f1.8 35mm or 50mm lens. That's why online reviews are not clear cut, because the value proposition doesn't seem to be there for everyone.

    I wish to upgrade from a Canon M50, but I don't see myself using a camera that does not have a flip out touchscreen, the A7C seems to be the more similar of the 2 when it comes to weight, form factor and screen. But the price is soooo similar that I don't know, maybe it's better to get the A7iii because of the extra controls, but I've been using the M50 so i might not actually need all the extra dials and buttons. I shoot astro photography in some occasions.

    That's the reason the X-T4 comes with the USB-C adapter (the vertical grip has headphone out though) because USB-C is rated for 300,000 plug/unplug ops while minijack only 50,000. Just get an X-T4 if all you do is video, better IBIS, much better weather sealing, longer lifetime shutter, more video capabilities. Have to buy an expensive lens to get the same focus capability though, which is the big downside.

    I’ve been debating 3 options as my second camera. Another A7iii, A7riii, or the A7C. I am leaning towards the A7Riii and A7C over getting another A7iii, because I would like to have consistency in my images, but new advantages to play around with. A7C is small, has a better flip out screen, but dropped the front aperture dial, which would be very odd shooting on manual. A7riii has some nice megapixels which I would just use for digital cropping freedom, and a very familiar form factor, but is still kind of expensive. I’m at a loss on which one to go with. I want to get into wedding photography and run 2 cameras. Anyone have any advice?

    Good night! I had a slight impression that in the color science part (where you used iso 102,400) it seems that the a7 III is sharper. can you confirm this friend?

    I could not figure out how i can activate in the menue the eye Af during monitoring via hdmi monitor. In the record mode my screen on the a7c turns black and i see only the video in the monitor. Hm, what is the trick to see the video on the screen and on the monitor during in the recording mode?
