The world of technology is continuously advancing. State-of-the-art systems from five years ago are now often considered obsolete.
New advancements in technology have accelerated the development of many items, including mirrorless cameras. The prices of these continue to fall, as new models are released into the market. The most recent release by Sony is considered the best in the market, and has accelerated the popularity of mirrorless technology.
SONY ALPHA A7C
The Sony Alpha a7C is great for street photography, among the many other types! It is Sony’s latest release, and is turning heads everywhere worldwide.
It is a 24.2-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera that is the size of a compact camera (4.88 x 2.80 x 2.35 inches). Currently, it is the smallest full-frame camera on the market and outperforms most DSLR cameras. It also costs less than most DSLRs.
Functions and Add Value Points
The Sony Alpha a7C has equally impressive video recording. The fullframe sensor and video processor allow exceptional depth-of-field control, and clean low-light scenes while shooting in 4k mode with a 6k oversampling.
The battery life of the Sony Alpha a7C is just outstanding. I used it for an entire day, and did not even need to use the spare battery! It is also available for USB charging, which makes it even more convenient.
What’s Not That Nice?
The user menu is a bit too complex, compared to other Sony models. There is also no built-in flash.
Feature and Specs
The continuous shooting rate of the a7C is up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking. The tracking system is a Fast Hybrid AF (phase-detection AF / contrastdetection AF). Depending on the setting it can utilise as many as 693 points to determine the best focus.
The auto-focus can use face and eye detection as well as being locked on to a subject. As the subject moves, the focus will be maintained.
The camera performs well in very low light situations and has an impressive EV-3 to EV 20 metering sensitivity. The ISO range is 100–51200, however, it has an expanded range of ISO 50 to ISO 204800. A great feature for street photographers is the ability to take exposure bracketed images with one click.
There is a side opening monitor that can be tilted to achieve the best viewing angle, and it has a small viewfinder. This is perfect for candid shots!
