Would like the original a7C more if it could map ISO to the wheel by default.

Moved from the a6400 to the a7C and finds image quality noticeably better.

Still uses the original a7C, light and compact, though its viewfinder is weak.

Has used the original a7C since 2023 and it has served them very well: the autofocus is all they need and it is compact enough for camping and travel. Warns that some people left Fujifilm over its autofocus.

“I have had the a7c since 2023 and it has served me very well. The AF is probably the most I will ever need and its compact nature allows me to use it easily during my camping/travelling trips.”

Hated the original a7C because its viewfinder felt like looking down a tunnel.

“I hated my A7C. The viewfinder looked like looking down a tunnel. Lol.”

Regrets selling their a7C, which was a nice size and fit their needs well.

“I’m looking back wondering why I got rid of my a7c, it was a nice size, fit my needs well”

Finds their a7C poorly engineered next to their old Olympus E-M1 II.

“my a7c feels poorly engineered compared to the em1.”

Adapts EF glass, including the 400 f/2.8, to their a7C; the balance and ergonomics are terrible, but it works alright.

“The ergonomics are precisely the epitome of hot garbage, but it works alright!”

Rarely uses the viewfinder on their a7C because its 0.59x EVF is so small.

“Sony A7C has a paltry 0.59x EVF magnification, so you really gotta focus on it.”
negative

Their everyday-carry camera became the a7C with the 40mm G, which slots into a little pouch.

“For me that EDC ended up being A7C + 40G that slots into a lil pouch.”

Used both the a6600 and the original a7C; preferred the a6600's grip, but the a7C's low-light performance won them over.

“I prefer the grip of the a6600/a6700 but the low-light eventually won me over with the a7c.”

Three months in, loves the a7C for car photography, mostly with the 24-105, and got it for $850.

Loved the a7R III but never felt comfortable with it; the a7C was night and day and perfect to carry.
