Just recently, Sony has just announced its latest additions to the imaging line-up — the α7C, FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 (model SEL2860) zoom lens, and HVL-F28RM flash. The α7C is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame body with uncompromising performance, featuring advanced AF (autofocus), high-resolution 4K video capabilities, and more.
The α7C packs a 24.2MP 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processing engine, which offers high sensitivity, outstanding resolution, 15-stop wide dynamic range, and high-speed image data processing.
Weighing at just 509g, the α7C actually has a similar size and weight as an APS-C camera. In fact, it is only 1% more weight than α6600. It comes with an upgraded 5-axis in-body stabilization and shutter units, and the utilization of monocoque construction, which is often used in the bodies of cars and aircrafts.
The camera comes with a high-capacity NP-FZ100 battery that provides enough power to shoot for long durations in comfort, allowing you to capture up to an industry-leading 740 images when using the LCD monitor, or 680 images when using the viewfinder.
Its standard ISO extends up to 51,200 and is expandable to ISO 50-204,800 for low-light environment captures with low noise. The camera also supports 16-bit processing and 14-bit RAW output for natural gradations. It comes with a 693-point focal-plane phase-detection AF system covering approximately 93% of the image area, with an additional 425 contrast-detection points to ensure reliable focus, even in busy environments. The camera also supports continuous shooting up to 10fps with AF/AE (autoexposure).
The touch panel LCD monitor is now a large touch-sensitive 3.0 type with approximately 921 thousand dots, providing optimal visibility even in bright outdoor conditions, and supporting touch operations. It also features a high-quality view mode for finer, more natural detail in addition to a 2.35 megadot (approx.) XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF. The α7C also offers functions that simplify operation during and after shooting, such as Fn button customizations and more. It is also dust and moisture resistant to support shooting needs in challenging environments.
Connectivity wise, it supports Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz bands) and USB-C connector that supports SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps (USB 3.2).
Retailing from RM8,399, the Sony α7C is now available for pre-order. Sony Malaysia also offers three bundle packages with three different lenses — SEL20F18G, SEL35F18F, and SEL50F18F. For full product details, please click here.
