Introduction
The new A7C R attempts to bridge the gap between Sony’s A6000-series and A7-series cameras by squeezing the larger full-frame sensor of the latter into the smaller, lighter body of the former.
Sony have decided that it’s time to considerably up the ante for its latest range of of 35mm full-frame Alpha cameras, with the “C” in the product name standing for “Compact” and the R standing for “Resolution”.
The A7C R sits above the popular A7 IV and equally new A7C II model, and just below the A7R V in terms of both specification and price.
Sony have principally added a new 61 megapixel sensor and processor, more advanced video recording and auto-focusing, and a more refined design to the high-resolution 2023 version of the A7C.
There are two colour versions of the Sony A7C R, a black and silver design and a more sombre all-black version (which Sony sent us for review).
The Sony A7C R will be available from September 2023 priced at around £3200 / €3700 body only. It is made in Thailand.
Ease of Use
 |
The new Sony A7C R essentially combines the sensor, processor and key specifications of the flagship A7R V model with the smaller, lighter body of the A6700 APS-C camera.
At the heart of the Sony A7C R, we find exactly the same 61-megapixel Backside Illuminated (BSI) Exmor R CMOS sensor as the one found in the Sony A7R V and IV cameras.
This sensor gives it a clear advantage in resolution over the equally new A7C II with its 33-megapixel sensor by 46%, allowing you to apply more aggressive crops or make bigger prints.
The original A7C had an even lower resolution 24.2 megapixel Backside Illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, so the A7C R is a giant leap forwards in this regard.
The A7C R offers a native ISO range of 100-32,000 which can be expanded to ISO 102,400 and dropped down to ISO 50 (only when shooting stills, though, not video).
 |
Thanks to the very latest BIONZ XR processor, as also found in the A7 IV camera, the A7C R offers
up to an impressive 15-stops of dynamic range when shooting in Raw mode.
The new processor also offers 8x more processing power than the BIONZ X processor found in the original A7C, which was itself no slouch.
The A7C R has a special multi-shot shooting mode in which it can take 16 different images which are then combined using the Imaging Edge Desktop software to produce a single, 241-megapixel image.
This new model can automatically detect and correct small movements in the 16 images, such as leaves in trees or people, greatly expanding where and when you can deploy the Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode.
Both the previous A7C and the new A7C II do not offer any form of Pixel Shift Multi Shooting.
 |
The A7C R inherits the Lossless Compressed RAW format that was recently introduced on the flagship A1, which reduces the file size by 50-80%.
A great new feature for this camera series is the ability to choose 26 megapixel / Medium or 15 megapixel / Small versions of both RAW and JEPG/HEIF files.
Even better is the ability to switch from 60 megapixel full-frame to 26 megapixel APS-C stills when shooting Lossless Compressed RAW or JEPG/HEIF, enabling you to instantly “zoom in” on your subject at the push of one customisable button without the need to change either focal lengths or lenses.
Impressively the larger 35mm full-frame sensor is housed inside a camera body that’s roughly halfway in size between the full-frame A7R V and the APS-C A6700.
It measures 124mm (W) x 71.1mm (H) x 63.4mm (D), compared to 120.0 x 66.9 x 69.3mm for the A6700 and 128.9 x 96.4 x 77.5mm for the A7R V, making it slightly larger in volume than the A6700 and much smaller than the A7R V.
The aluminium bodied Sony A7C R weighs 525g without a lens, battery and memory card fitted, amazingly just 22g more than the A6700 (503g) and a whopping 198g less than the A7R V (723g).
 |
It utilizes a tough magnesium alloy body shell that incorporates full weather sealing for extra peace of mind in more inclement conditions.
Sony have employed a monocoque construction for the A7C R, which is more commonly used in the car and aircraft industries, predominantly to help achieve the size and weight reduction.
The A7C R has an even larger, more prominent grip than the one on the A7C, which we preferred after using the camera for a couple of weeks. It has an indent for your right middle-finger to naturally sit in.
Combined with the large rear thumb rest it helps to make the camera feel secure enough when shooting either one- or two-handed.
If you still think that the camera is too small, there’s also a new Extension Grip available which further improves the handling – this is an optional accessory for the A7C II but commendably supplied in the box with the more expensive A7C R.
 |
The Sony A7C R features an in-body 5-axis image stabilization system to help prevent unwanted camera shake in low-light.
It automatically corrects for pitch and yaw movement, plus horizontal shift, vertical shift and rotary motion (rolling) for both still images and movies.
This was rated for up to 5 stops of compensation on the previous A7C model, but thanks to a newly redesigned stabilisation unit, the new A7C R now offers up to 7 stops of in-body stabilisation, making it one of the more capable Alpha camera in this regard.
The A7C R also benefits from having a special Active Mode that increases stabilization for hand-held movie shooting by using the BIONZ XR processors.
Furthermore, the use of an in-body system, rather than a lens-based system, ensures that the Alpha A7C R can stabilize all kinds of lenses, not just those with the FE designation.
 |
This includes E-mount lenses without Optical SteadyShot (OSS), A-mount lenses and even third party lenses mounted via the popular Sigma MC-11 or Metabones adapters.
Note that lenses without any electronic contacts only benefit from three axes of compensation, and you also need to manually input which focal length you’re using to ensure that the stabilization works properly.
The electro-magnetic drive shutter unit is officially rated for 200,000 releases before it needs to be replaced, which is pretty impressive.
The Sony A7C R uses exactly the same large capacity NP-FZ100 battery as the previous A7C model, the A7R V and the A6700.
The older A7C had a CIPA-rated battery life of around 740 shots when using the LCD screen and 680 when using the viewfinder, whereas the newer, more power-hungry A7C R only offers 520 shots when using the LCD screen and 470 when using the viewfinder.
 |
The A7C R can also be powered and charged via a USB connection, which is useful if you’re without your charger but can access a computer, and thankfully it uses the latest USB-C standard.
The new A7C R has a very similar 0.39″, 2.36million-dot XGA OLED electronic viewfinder to the one used by the A7C, which is good, but certainly not class-leading,
It features 100% scene coverage and a 120fps high frame rate setting to help track moving subjects more smoothly with virtually no lag.
Crucially, though, it offers a higher magnification of 0.70x, versus 0.59x magnification on the original A7C. The eyepoint is also different – 23mm on the A7C R but only 20mm on the A7C.
The A7C R has a slightly higher-resolution 3-inch, 3:2 ratio LCD screen than the A7C – 1.03 million versus 922,000 dots – but we’d have expected to see a much higher resolution screen on a new camera released in 2023, especially one that some may consider to be a flagship model.
 |
A larger, higher resolution screen, perhaps even in the 16:9 ratio rather than 3:2, would have made the A7C R much more competitive with its main rivals.
It does have a fully articulating vari-angle design which means that you can flip out the screen to the side, rotate it forwards for easier operation when pointing the camera at yourself, and fold it flat against the back of the camera to stop it from getting scratched when not in use..
Sony have also implemented touch sensitivity on the A7C R’s LCD screen. This makes functions like focus point selection much easier and more intuitive, especially given the regrettable lack of a dedicated AF joystick on the rear.
It even works while looking through the electronic viewfinder, a feature that we’ve seen on several other high-end mirrorless cameras recently.
There are also a greater number of touch controls, including the ability to operate the menu system and swipe up to open the Function menu, something that was sorely lacking on the previous model. These are also joined by a new array of handy onscreen touch icons that are specific to the stills and movie modes.
 |
If you’re buying the A7C R primarily for vlogging, we’d recommend the FE 20mm F1.8 prime lens, or if you afford it the recently introduced FE 20-70mm F4 G zoom, both of which
which will provide better framing and greater depth of field than a standard 28mm lens.
The Sony A7C R’s primary external controls are very similar to those on the A6700. Sony have made a significant number of ergonomic improvements to the new A7C R when comparing it to the original model.
There is now a second command dial at at the top of the A7C R’s handgrip which makes it even easier to change the key exposure settings in conjunction with the rear command dial and the secondary rear-panel scroll wheel that doubles up as the 4-way navigation buttons.
It also has two Custom function buttons rather than one, which many people like. Also the dedicated exposure compensation dial on the A7C has been changed to a customisable unmarked dial on the A7C R.
We still wish Sony had made the now unmarked EV dial lockable, as its position on the corner of the camera meant that it’s often inadvertently knocked into a different (unwanted) position when stored in a camera bag.
 |
The handy Still/Movie/S&Q switch from the A7 full-frame series has made its way onto the A7C R.
The rear control layout of the A7C R hasn’t really changed when comparing it to the A7C, other than the addition of the C1 button.
There’s a prominent AF-On button that can be used for back-button focusing, and to magnify an image during composition or playback.
This button makes it a snip to back-button focus using your thumb rather than half-pressing the shutter button, a method that many photographers swear by.
Sadly this means that there’s still no room for an auto-exposure lock (AEL) button, a rather annoying omission.
You also have to delve into the menu system to switch between AF and MF modes, or use the dedicated button on the lens (if there is one).
 |
The Sony A7C R is a very customisable camera. The AF-On button can be reconfigured to AE-Lock if you wish, just one of 27 different options that can be assigned to it.
The rear Fn function button displays a quick-access menu of frequently used shooting settings, and you can choose which items appear on this menu.
The Delete / C2 button on the rear can also be assigned one of the 27 frequently used functions for direct access.
The operation of the left, right, down and centre rear panel navigation buttons can also be customized, as well as the Fn button’s role in playback mode (it’s set to Send to Smartphone by default).
You also have the ability to assign a set of video-specific functions to these same buttons when you’re shooting in the movie mode, which makes perfect sense for a camera that is as much about video as stills.
 |
In terms of the available shooting modes, there are three Memory modes marked 1, 2 and 3 on the shooting mode dial. These allow you to store three frequently used shooting set-ups for quick access, and within each Memory mode is a further four customisable sub-mode pre-sets which can be saved in-camera.
There are also the usual auto, semi auto and manual modes, plus a dedicated Movie mode that works in conjunction with the video record button. This is logically located to the right of the camera’s top-panel.
Note that there’s no Scene Selection position on the A7C R, perhaps reflecting the more serious nature of this particular model.
The Slow and Quick (S&Q) mode is now located on the new Still/Movie/S&Q switch that has made its way from the A7 full-frame series.
As the name suggests this accesses the camera’s slow- and quick- motion video options (various frame rates ranging from 1fps to 100fps), as selected in the Movie1 tab / S&Q Settings option in the main menu system.
 |
There is a Multi Interface Shoe / flash hotshoe on top of the A7C R for connecting an external flashgun or a compatible accessory such as the ECM-B1M digital shotgun microphone, but as with the A6700, this new camera does not feature a built-in pop-up flash.
Thankfully the much clearer, although still lengthy, main menu system from the ZV-E1 camera has now been included on the A7C R, which is a very welcome improvement.
There is a handy My Menu tab that, as the name suggests, allows you to construct your own custom menu for easier access to your favourite camera settings.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given its compact size, the A7C R only has a single memory card slot. The larger A7R V has dual memory card slots, and one of these slots can interchangeably use UHS-II SD-cards and even faster CFexpress Type A cards.
It supports the faster SD UHS-II memory card standard inside a dedicated memory card port that’s hidden behind a lockable door on the left-hand side of the camera.
 |
The memory card slot and the various connectivity ports on the left-hand flank of the A7C R have also been specially placed to not block the LCD screen when it’s twisted out to the side.
The new A7C R has the same hybrid autofocus system with phase detection points as the A7C, albeit with less frame coverage, but most importantly, greatly expanded subject recognition.
On the A7C there are 693 phase-detection points and 425 contrast detection points that cover 93% of the frame, with the system working all the way down to -3EV low-light.
On the A7C R there are 693 phase-detection points that cover 79% of the frame, with the system working all the way down to -4EV low-light.
By far the biggest difference between the two models in terms of their auto-focusing performance is subject recognition.
 |
Sony has added an AI deep learning processing unit to the newer camera which enables it to recognise far more subjects than the previous model, and also greatly improves the detection of humans and animals/birds.
The A7C can only recognise the eye and face of a human, and the eye of an animal or bird.
The A7C R can recognise a human via its pose as well as its eye and face. So if the person’s head is turned away from the camera, the A7C R will still accurately detect the subject as human based on its AI deep learning.
Animal and bird detection has been expanded from just being able to recognise the eye on the A7C to the eye, head and body on the A7C R.
As well as humans and animals, the A7C R also has the ability to recognise airplanes, cars, trains and insects. The A7C cannot recognise any of these subjects.
 |
In the real-world the A7C R rarely if ever missed the moment because of an issue with the auto-focusing.
It proved adept at both locking onto and tracking a moving subject, and excelled at portraits thanks to the dedicated Eye AF mode, which instantly recognises, locks onto and tracks a human or animal eye in both the AF-S and AF-C focusing modes.
The AF experience on the A7C R is still somewhat diminished by the continued lack of a thumb-operated joystick to set the AF point, something that both the A7R V and several rival cameras offer.
This is a much more intuitive method than having to use either the Set button and the rear navigation pad or the touchscreen, so it’s a shame not to see it featured on the A7C R.
The Sony A7C R offers 8fps with Full AF/AE tracking using the mechanical shutter or 7fps with the silent electronic shutter., which is 2/3fps slower than the original model.
 |
Curiously, the A7R V offers faster 10fps burst shooting with Full AF/AE tracking using either the mechanical or silent electronic shutter.
The Sony A7C R supports both wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, including the fastest 5Ghz wi-fi standard.
It also offers location data acquisition via a low-power Bluetooth connection to a compatible mobile device, effectively allowing you to geo-tag your images.
The A7C R offers more advanced video recording specs and performance than the older A7C.
The first-generation A7C supported 4K/30p video recording in the XAVC-S format at 4:2:0 color depth in 8-bit to the inserted memory card or 4:2:2 in 8-bit over HDMI to compatible third party recorders.
It supported the HLG, S-Log3 and S-Log2 profiles and could record Full 1080 HD at up to 120fps, with the dedicated Slow and Quick motion mode offering frame rates ranging from 1fps to 120fps at 1080p quality. There was no 4K 60p or 10-bit recording on the original A7C camera.
 |
The A7C R can capture 4K/60p full-frame video with a 1.2x crop and 4K/30p oversampled form 6.2K footage in Super 35mm mode, both at 10-bit 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 quality and in either H.265 and H.264 AVC file formats. It also allows 16-bit RAW output to an external recorder via an HDMI cable.
The equally new A7C II model can capture oversampled 4K/30p video from 7K full-frame and also 4K/60p in Super 35mm mode at 10-bit 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 quality and in either H.265 and H.264 AVC file formats.
The more expensive A7R V can record 8K/25p and 4K/60p with a modest 1.2x crop in 10bit 4:2:2 quality. It also offers 4K/30/25/24p and 1080/120p recording with no crop.
The A7C R additionally supports M-LUT and Log recording with LUTs and can record Full 1080 HD at up to 120fps, with the dedicated Slow and Quick motion mode offering frame rates ranging from 1fps to 120fps at 1080p quality.
The newer A7C R also offers the clever Auto Framing feature which uses the camera’s AI-based subject recognition technology to automatically crop the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies, even when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
Image Quality
All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 61 megapixel Extra Fine JPEG setting, which produces an average image size of around 43Mb.
The Sony A7C R produced images of outstanding quality during the review period.
The A7C R has an extensive and very usable ISO range of 50-102400. ISO 50-6400 is essentially noise-free, while ISO 12800 and 25600 produce more than acceptable results, and even ISO 51200 is OK for emergency use, although we’d hesitate to use the fastest setting of ISO 102400.
The RAW samples illustrate just how much processing the camera does by default, though, as they’re noisier at the higher ISO values than their JPEG counterparts, with more unwanted colour artifacts.
The effective Dynamic Range Optimizer function extracts more detail from the shadow and highlight areas in an image, without introducing any unwanted noise or other artifacts.
Sony’s colour profiles are split into ‘creative looks’ and ‘picture profiles’, with the former most suitable for stills and the latter for video, although either can be applied to both stills and video.
The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds and the Bulb mode offering lots of scope for creative night photography.

File Quality
The Sony A7C R has 4 different JPEG image quality settings available, with Extra Fine being the highest quality option. The A7C R also supports the HEIF file format with 2 options available. There are 3 different Raw compression settings, with Uncompressed being the highest quality option.
Thanks to a higher compression efficiency, HEIF files are smaller than JPEGs even though they contain significantly more data. How much more? Well, HEIF files are 10-bit whereas JPEG files are 8-bit. It’s a heck of a lot more tonal detail and wider colour gamut.
In the A7C R both HEIF and JPEG formats are available, although you can’t select both at the same time. Whichever format option you select can then be captured independently or simultaneously with RAW.
Here are some 100% crops which show the quality of the various options, with the actual file size shown in brackets.
Night
The Sony A7C R’s maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds and there’s also a Bulb mode for even longer exposures, which is excellent news if you’re seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds at ISO 100.
 |
Dynamic Range Optimizer
D-Range Optimiser (DRO) is Sony’s solution to improve shadow detail in photos taken in contrasty light. There are 5 different levels and an Auto option.
Creative Looks
There are 10 Creative Look preset effects that you can use to change the look of your images which are available when shooting JPEG and/or Raw files.
There are ten creative look presets for JPEG pictures and an additional six ‘custom’ presets can be manually stored for quick access. The presets are Standard (‘ST’), Portrait (‘PT’), Neutral (‘NT’), Vivid (‘VV’), ‘VV2’, ‘FL’, ‘IN’, ‘SH’, Black & White (‘BW’) and Sepia (‘SE’).

Conclusion
The new A7C R takes the blueprint of the original A7C from 2020 and runs away with it, creating a super-compact, super-high-resolution full-frame camera that is significantly smaller and lighter than all of its main rivals.
The “C” in the product name stands for “Compact”, and the A7C R is certainly that, somehow squeezing a 35mm full-frame sensor, an IBIS unit and a flip-out screen into a body that is only slightly larger than the APS-C sensor A6700 camera and weighing a mere 22g heavier.
Sony have thankfully addressed almost all of our criticisms of the original A7C model, turning what was a surprisingly out-dated camera in some ways into one that is much more up-to-speed for a 2023 camera.
This includes the welcome addition of a front control dial, another Custom button, much greater touchscreen functionality, and the most recent main menu system.
Even better is the 61 megapixel sensor and BIONZ XR processor that have been inherited from the flagship A7R V, not to mention the cutting-edge AI-driven AF system and more advanced IBIS unit that provides up to 7 stops of compensation.
Choosing between the equally new Sony A7C II and the A7C R really comes down to whether or not you want or need the much greater 61 megapixel resolution offered by the latter model, along with the other benefits of that particular sensor, such as pixel-shift multi-shooting, the multi-resolution modes and slightly better video performance.
On the flip-side, the A7C II offers faster burst shooting, wider AF frame coverage and longer battery life, not to mention a significant cost-saving.
Choosing between the new Sony A7C R and the A7R V really comes down to which camera format you prefer – compact rangefinder or larger DSLR – and whether you can afford the extra £$€800 for the A7R V.
The A7R V does offer a much better viewfinder and LCD screen, dual memory card slots, slightly better IBIS, faster burst shooting, and slightly more advanced video recording including 8K quality.
On the flip-side, the smaller, lighter A7C R offers some additional video features and longer battery life, not to mention that significant cost-saving.
If your head has ever been turned by the high resolution offered by the A7R V but you thought it was too big and bulky, then the A7C R offers most of its features and performance in a smaller, lighter package.
We do think, though, that the A7C R should have a better LCD screen and electronic viewfinder given its much more expensive than the similarly-specced A7C II model.
We’re also not sure why it can’t match the A7R V’s 8K video or 10fps burst shooting performance, given that they share exactly the same sensor and processor.
In summary, the new Sony A7C R builds considerably on the promise of the rather flawed original to create a camera that is a real alternative to the A7R V – if you ever wanted high resolution in an unbelievably small, lightweight package, this is the camera for you…
