The problem with the Sony A7C: The idea is GREAT the specs/price are NOT

Share

The Sony A7c got a very clear and honest reaction from the Sony community:

The GOOD:
Nearly everyone likes the idea to have a Full Frame camera in the smaller A6xxx form factor

The BAD:
Specs and pricing are off. These specs would be ok if the camera would cost $1,399 or less. I think at $1,399 this would have been a great entry level option for the masses. But Sony asks $1,799 and for that price I would have at least expected to get this: 4k60p, new Sony menu system, two SD slots, same A7rIV EVF (5.6 milion dot), and a better LCD screen.

The SOLUTION:
As it stands today this camera is a fail. Sony has now one only option: Give it a $400-$500 price cut in the holiday season. And as a tip for the future: Don’t repeat this mistake when they will release the A7CII in two years from now.

P.S: I agree 100% with That1cameraguy:

RUMOR: Two “super fast” Sony GM prime lenses coming in 2021…one of them will set a new “record”

Share

I am 100% sure that in October/November Sony will announce new FE lenses. One of the trusted sources told me two “super fast” Sony GM primes are on the roadmap. The lenses were scheduled for late Summer release but due the Covid-19 outbreak their launch has been delayed. UPDATE: These two primes will arrive in early 2021.

All he told me for now is that both primes are “Spectacular” and definitely made to have a big WOW impact in the community. One of those prime lenses will also set a “record” in the photography industry. I am now working to double check the rumored specs I got from another second source before to post them on SAR…

…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!
