Camera Overview — Sony a7C II

The Sony Alpha 7C II is a full-frame mirrorless camera built around a 33MP sensor paired with Sony's BIONZ XR image processor. It fits this capable imaging system into a magnesium alloy body measuring 124 x 71 x 60 mm and weighing just 514g, making it one of the more compact full-frame options available. The autofocus system combines phase-detection and contrast-detection across 759 focus points, with AI-based subject tracking, Eye Detection AF, and Animal Detection AF all built in.

For stills, the camera delivers a maximum resolution of 7008x4672 pixels and can sustain bursts at up to 10fps. Video shooters get 4K recording at up to 60fps with 10-bit output, and the color profile options include S-Log3 and HLG for flexible grading in post. In-body 5-axis image stabilization is included, with digital IS disabled.

The 3.0-inch LCD display resolves 1.03M dots, while the electronic viewfinder hits 2.36M dots at a 120Hz refresh rate. Storage options span both SDXC and CFexpress Type A cards. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB-C, Micro HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 3.5mm microphone jack.

Battery life is rated at 740 shots per charge using the NP-FZ100. The body carries a weather-sealed rating and uses the Sony E lens mount with a Sony Multi Interface Shoe hotshoe.
