The Sony a7C puts a full-frame sensor into a rangefinder-style body for travel and street photographers who want small size without stepping down to APS-C. It matters for three reasons: a 24.2 MP full-frame sensor with 693 phase-detection autofocus points, 5-axis in-body stabilisation rated at 5 stops, and a battery rated at about 740 shots per charge. It shoots at 10 fps and records 4K at up to 30p. Against the A7 III it keeps the same resolution and autofocus coverage in a body about 140 g lighter (509 g); the a7C II later adds more resolution and 4K at 60p.
