Uncompromising quality for stills and movies

Stunning image quality, only possible from a full-frame sensor

Full-frame imaging in a compact body

Superior light collection means high quality, low-noise images

Bigger sensors create better images, and the α7C's full-frame sensor is much larger than the sensors in smartphones, compact digital cameras and similar-sized APS-C interchangeable-lens cameras. The resulting increased light collection allows for professional-quality images with reduced noise, and more retained detail in both shadows and highlights.

Make a difference with a larger sensor

With a full-frame sensor it's possible to take shots and achieve impressive images that are unique to this format. The α7C's sensor is more than twice the size of the sensors found in APS-C cameras of similar body size, and up to 30 times larger than a smartphone sensor, for stunning images with greater depth and detail.

Compact size, easy operation

The α7C was fashioned to be compact, lightweight and portable without compromising genuine full-frame camera performance. This goal was accomplished by developing new mechanical components, such as a space-saving shutter and optical stabilisation unit, along with layout and structural enhancements.

New compact shutter unit

The new shutter unit incorporates a space-saving electromagnetic-drive shutter and a unique lightweight carbon-fibre shutter curtain for increased rigidity.

More stable handheld shooting

A custom-designed, compact 5-axis optical stabilisation unit provides effective 5.0-step* shake correction.

* CIPA standards. Pitch/yaw shake only. Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens. Long exposure NR off.

Sturdy, reliable construction

The rigid but lightweight magnesium-alloy body* features monocoque construction, just like high-performance cars and aircraft, for greater strength and dependability.

*Strength is provided by the magnesium alloy construction of the front cover, top cover and rear cover.
