Best praise vs top criticism for Sony a7C
“Since you've mentioned low light capability and the budget is no issue I probably would go for the a7 V (33 MP sensor). Also the a7S III has very good low light capability because of the 12 MP sensor. A very good website to compare cameras is [https://cameradecision.com/](https://cameradecision.com/) To sum up which series of Sony cameras is good for what: a7: all rounder photo plus video. events, travel, everyday. a7S: video first and low light. concerts night run and gun. a7R: high resolution and detail. landscape, architecture, studio, big prints. a7C: compact full frame. travel, street, daily carry. a7C R: A7R style resolution in the small A7C body. travel plus detail. a9: speed and action. sports, wildlife, fast reportage, high keeper rate. a1: flagship. mixes A9 speed and A7R resolution plus strong video. |Camera Series|Current Version|MP|Released| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |a7|V|33 (some older versions have 24)|12/2025| |a7S|III|12|07/2020| |a7R|V|61 (some older versions have 42)|10/2022| |a7C|II|24|08/2023| |a7C R||61|08/2023| |a9|III|24|11/2023| |a1|II|50|11/2024| As you can see, Sony uses Roman numerals for successors to older cameras. Of course, there are also older versions of the camera series described above.”
“Yeah I agree it should be free… I was going to pay the $12 to try it out and designed the gridline only to find out my A7C II required the perpetual license… feeling slightly overcommitted + a moment of weakness and I’m going to hate myself when I look at the credit card statement next month”
