Opening the box containing the new Sony A7C II is a real déjà vu moment – only a few weeks have passed since I unwrapped the brand new Sony A6700 camera. The A7C II has a similar design to that camera, except with a full-frame sensor.
The A7C was released two years ago as a compact form of the Sony A7 III and was meant to be Sony’s new champion for content creators who wanted the most compact camera possible that was both easy to travel with and would fit into cages and rigs while offering full-frame professional quality.
Since then, Sony has gone hard into its ZV range of cameras which aims to court more video-centric content creators. For some time, those who cared more about stills were left out in the cold. Although in quick succession, Sony has answered these calls with updates to not only its top APS-C camera with the new Sony A6700 but now with the A7C II for full-frame enthusiasts.
