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.
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.
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.
The Sony A7S III is the long-awaited successor to the popular A7S II, a camera that proved to be a great companion for video and low light shooting. The new model introduces a lot of improvements, making it one of the most compelling mirrorless cameras for video on the market. …
The original A7S was an important camera for the mirrorless market because it marked a new evolution of affordable video-oriented products with superb sensitivity, allowing filmmakers to work in all sorts of low light conditions. Indeed it’s no surprise that the camera and its successor the A7S II have been used for professional productions such as, for example, wildlife documentaries by the BBC.
