A reader spotted new Sony A7c images. To my surprise it still has the old Sony menu…it’s a surprise because Sony said all future models would have the new Sony A7sIII menu system.
The pictures also seem to confirm the camera does only 4k30p. And you can also see the new collapsible 28-60mm lens:

I got some more leaked A7c images (se below) and new info:
A7c will have a similar passive cooling system like the A7sIII so it won’t overheat when shooting 4K for a long period of time. It will also not have any recording limits, unlike the A7III’s 29-minute recording limit.
UPDATE: And Sony New Zealand shortly advertised this free battery bonus deal:

The new 23mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens at BHphoto and the worldwide Viltroxstore.
SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 E Lens and concluded:
The Viltrox 23mm F1.4 (285 euros) is a very good AF lens for Sony APSC cameras. 23mm being the equivalent of a 35mm lens on full frame , this is a very useful and common focal length for street photography or half body portrait.
The main selling arguments of this lens are
- its excellent sharpness in the centre combined with fast aperture which give you a nice blurry background for portrait
- its AF (fast and efficient) and clickless aperture ring for video
However
- corners are quite soft at large aperture and you need to close to F4/F5.6 for best results on the entire field for street / landscape, so don’t expect to consistent sharpness in low light
- The lens also suffer from heavy Chromatic aberrations even whith aperture closed down, so you will need to correct those in post prod
Compared to the Sony E 24mm F1.8 Zeiss Sonnar, the Viltrox is a bargain
Pros
- Very good sharpness in the centre wide open at f1.4 and excellent as of F2
- Excellent sharpness across the whole frame at F5.6 and F8
- Fast and efficient AF , eye AF working very well
- Very good build quality
- Clickless aperture ring for video
- Reasonable price for a lens with AF
- Good bokeh balls and background blur (although it could be a little bit more softer)
- Good color rendition
- Lens can be upgraded via USB port (and Viltrox do regularly upgrade their lenses)
Average
- Vignetting up to F4
- AF not fully silent in video
- Moderate distorsion
- Resistance to flare could be better
Cons
- Heavy CA
- Corners soft up to F2.8
- On A6000 only : Some AF issues in video
Recommended as 35mm equivalent lens on Sony APSC cameras
