Sony A7C vs A6600 – The 10 Main Differences

Up until now, the Sony A6XXX series has distinguished itself with its small and lightweight design. Despite having a reasonable size, the A7 series has always being larger, justifying the presence of a full-frame sensor, a larger EVF and other features.

With the A7C, the line between the A7 and AXXX series has been blurred. The new camera assumes the design of the A6XXX series and incorporates a 35mm format chip. So now we have two series that look alike, but are very different on the inside.

Sony A7C vs A7 III – The 10 Main Differences

The A7 and A9 series consists of four separate models with a similar design, but different sensors and autofocus capabilities to fit different needs and market segments.

For the first time since the launch of the original A7, Sony has introduced a fifth model name and this time, it’s not about what is inside, but the how it looks on the outside. I wish I could tell you that the A7C has a completely new look, but instead Sony has taken the design of its APS-C cameras and fit a full frame sensor inside.

Sony FE 20mm 1.8 G: A great lens for astrophotography and more

I own two A7 bodies (A7 III and A7R III) that I keep mainly for review and comparison purposes, but occasionally, my wife and I use them to cover events with a set of 1.8 prime lenses. (We like to keep our kit as compact as possible.)

What was missing from this set-up was a nice wide angle lens not only to take wide shots indoors but also to capture landscapes and astro photos for my articles. Up until recently, I struggled to settle on a lens, despite there already being a good selection. They were either too expensive, too big, not fast enough or a bit too small and cheap. (I know, I can be picky!)

Panasonic S1 vs S5 – The 10 Main Differences

After launching its first full-frame mirrorless cameras in early 2019, the S1 and S1R, and later on the video-oriented S1H, Panasonic has unveiled the fourth model in the series, the S5.

This new camera is smaller and similar to the S1 in terms of its specs but it also inherits powerful video capabilities from the S1H. It is the least expensive S model to date (although don’t expect a cheap price). Let’s see how it compares to the Lumix S1.
