I’ve been thinking about getting my first full-frame DSLM camera for some time now, there are a whole lot of very tempting offerings out there. Not one however was able to tick all the boxes that are most important for me – including excellent auto-focus, great battery life, no recording limit and a price tag of around 2k. Very recently, Sony announced the Alpha 7c, Sony’s smallest full-frame camera so far. While the A7c recycles a lot of established components from earlier Sony cameras and received quite a bit of flak for that (same sensor! no 4K60! no 10bit!), it did include some minor improvements over the Alpha 7 III that might actually be a major deal for some: a fully articulating screen, eye-tracking auto focus for video and unlimited recording. On the other hand, reviewers found that the in-body image stabilization via sensor shift (IBIS) was curiously worse than that of the A7 III.
