Sony a7C vs Sony a7 III: Which is better?: DPReview | Photography News, Gear Reviews & Community
November 13, 2020 - But it's not enough to justify the price tag compared to the A7III which is often cheaper in stores. I hope Sony will try a new version of it, with more features, a 42MP sensor, and I hope new small lenses (this is also a nice move from Sony, smaller lenses). Despite its lacks, this camera is still something I'd have considered when I first bought my A7III, and if there's a second version, improved, I think I'll go the A7CII ...

Sony A7C vs A7 III - Head-to-head Comparison | Photography Blog
September 15, 2020 - Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the new Sony A7C is its launch price. £1899 / $1798 body only or £2150 / $2098 with the Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 kit lens actually makes the new Sony A7C even more expensive than the A7 III.

Should i buy a A7iii or a A7C
If you want to try the ergonomic of α7C, check a display unit of α6600 or the latest α6700. It shares the same battery with α7C and pretty much the same grip. The grip on α7C is said to be deeper than α7III (thus easier to hold). Both α7III and α7C are good enough for some certain production level in videography, yet α7C doesn’t have the 29 min limit of recording which is somewhat more attractive if you plan to make long video rolls. α7C is said to have a better LCD in terms of color accuracy α7III (owning α7III for a long while, I can honestly say that its LCD is horrible in terms of color accuracy, you will have to struggle a while to get used to with it). In terms of autofocus, α7C is better than α7III with all updated algorithms. α7C has some downsides in photography field in comparison to α7III, that are: maximum shutter speed is only at 1/4000s (you may need ND filter in daylight shoot), one SD slot. Apart from that, they’re very similar to each other (same sensor, same imaging signal processor, same low light performance, etc.). The ergonomic is more about personal preference. Me personally I used to be a DSLR user, so I always prefer the bigger body variants of α7 family than the α7C series, since the position of EVF is more natural and handling with medium to large lenses are much more balanced. But other users may find it’s comfortable to hold a small camera body like α7C and the α6000s family. At this moment, I think it would be nearly impossible to find a brand-new, unused α7III unit so you will have to stick with used one if you choose 7III. If you don’t have any experience with purchasing used camera gears, then it’s safer to get a new α7C unit. In my opinion, α7C is not overally a better camera than α7III, it’s just a different series with pros and cons and it’s up to users preferences. Some may find this more suitable and other may find the reverse 😉. More on reddit.com

A7C vs A7III?
Some thoughts: Identical sensor. More buttons on the A7iii, although IMHO one doesn't need them as much on the A7c. AF in the A7c is uncanny and feels like cheating at times, although the A7iii's no slouch either. EVF bigger on the A7iii, but the flippy screen in the A7c is more useful. Bigger lenses feel a lot more at home on the iii. I'd go with the one that feels better to you in your hands. More on reddit.com

r/SonyAlpha on Reddit: Should i buy a A7iii or a A7C
October 9, 2023 -

So previously i had acquired a used A7III which had some leser damage ( which i couldnt notice at the time of buying ) i just sold it off for almost the same money i bought it for this time around i am thinking about going with a new one as i dont really want to risk it any more , i have two options A7III or the A7C both are at the same price currently ( A7C being a bit cheaper , almost enough to buy a cage / grip in the same price of a A7III ) is the ergonomic difference that big ? or the added video functionality , auto focus and color science upgrades and the Flip out screen is enough to make it a better camera overall ? i mostly shoot landscape , travel , street and some times product shots as well , i am thinking about getting more into video and product shots tbh. i cant decide guys please help if someone has used both of them it would be lovely ( the stores near me dont have a display unit so cant go and check the A7C )

i think considering i shoot around 60-70% photos and rest videos it comes down the choice of a better EVF on the A7iii vs the FlipOut Screen and the video features on the A7C

I opted for the A7III for only one reason really: the viewfinder. If you don't plan on using it much, the A7c was an overall better camera. But the placement, and small size, of the viewfinder were just not cutting it for me. Try them both in a shop if you can!

r/SonyAlpha on Reddit: Sony A7III and A7C price evolution
October 11, 2023 -

I've been eyeing the A7III (body only) for a while as an upgrade for my A7. The price currently (with Amazon prime) is €1550 during Prime Days, which already is a great deal. But I'm wondering if the A7III will ever dip below that magical €1000 price point (I have my hopes on Black Friday). Any thoughts? Or will it be for 2023. And what about the A7C price? Any chance that one will go below €1000? I saw Sony has discounted their A7II now for less than €1000, but that's not really an upgrade I'm afraid.

What surprises me the most (still) is the price for the A7III on the secondhand market. Sellers are still asking quite a lot for it, even now that the retail price has dropped significantly.

Hi!
So I am stucked between these two machines and I don't know which one to get..

My mainly goal is the A7IV but that is for the future. For now I have to choose between these two but I just can't. One minute I think the C is better then the III and vica versa...
I am a beginner who's coming from M43 Lumix G9.

I will use it for photo for 70% of the time and 30% for video. In the long game I hope I will be a professional and want to make a living from it, but as for now I just want to shoot. :)

December 7, 2022 - If you want to go into the fine detail and take DxO’s scores at their word, the a7III has a slight advantage when scoring points for sports in a low-light setting. This could be due to something as small as the wiring configuration in the camera that accounts for an extra point above what the a7C offers. For the non-pixel peepers out there, you will not notice any difference in image quality. This is where we start to see a difference between these two popular cameras. The Sony a7III has a faster shutter speed of 1/8000 over the trailing 1/4000 of a second on the Sony a7c.
