Aye 100% you were Top G back when I first was learning how to take photos. I literally looked p to this channel. As a matter of fact, you are the reason I got the Sony A77 way back then. I'm currently still shooting with it. - Actually I'm getting ready to do a shoot with it this weekend. I'll email you the photos when I'm done editing.
Imso glad i saw you on my IG. Really wanted to check out the new sonys. Coming from the canon r8 Maybe this will move me to buy a sony and actually keep it this time
Hello folks. Looking for advice here. I have my a7rv and also a7c as my secondary. Considering upgrading my a7c, but not sure whether to go for cII or cR. Thanks for all the suggestions in advance!
I'm upgrading from an A6400, I shoot a lot of aviation stuff and i enjoy some portraits and landscape or nature photography. I know it's a huge leap from my A6400 to something like the A7CR. would you say this is a good upgrade, or should I look into something with dual card slots. I want this upgrade from my A6400 to last me for years. I also travel a bit. Family lives 12 hours away, and I usually bring my camers to take photos. Any advice is appreciated
Hey there, great job on your content - thank you for helping beginners like me, as well as experts! I want to achieve a top-tier alpha body like the A1, but I hope to wait for a possible A1ii update this year. In the meantime, I purchased the A9iii and felt overwhelmed by its immense power and file data management. Since I had only a few days to test it, and it arrived a week later than my GM 24/70 ii, I didn't feel comfortable moving forward with the 24mp. I think the A1ii might come with a 33 or 50mp, along with a possible GS and pre-capture, which I'm very interested in. If I want to build my collection with the holy trinity of GMii lenses but need a decent alpha body to use while I wait for the A1ii announcement, what would you suggest? Thanks in advance for any feedback and please keep doing what you do bro 💪💪💪
This is where the really hard hitting questions come in. A7RV or A7C R? Is the R C that much smaller for better street photography? What if I want to use the camera for professional photography too, will the C R look like a small toy camera and not fit as well in the hand? What about the EVF, is the RV's that much better? Isn't the C R's shutter much louder than the RV which kinda nullafies it's use for discreet street photography? What if I get into wedding photography where dual cards slots are essential? What the heck, shouldn't I just stay with my RIII?? etc. etc. etc.
Sony pitch meeting be like: CEO: "What should we do next?" Guy A: "New a7iv in a compact body." Guy B: "New a7R5 in a compact body." Guy C: "New firmware update for A1 and A7siii. *Guy C get thrown out of the window*
Yeah - 900 is not nearly enough for the trade offs. Dual slots, micro HDMI, better viewfinder, monitor etc. - All that is worth the 900 - or rather, taking them away should have netted a much better discount.
Thank you for the video. I ended up buying this last year when it came out. I use it as a small portable backup to my A7RV or A1. For travel to get even smaller I pair it with an open box A7CII. Lots a flexibility in this camera family. Now I’m trying to kit it out with smaller primes and zoom for when I travel. Tahoe care.
Hi Jared, enjoyed your review of the Sony a7C R. I'm looking to purchase a versatile full-frame camera that can handle a variety of subjects - travel, street, portrait, landscape, as well as wildlife and bird photography. Do you think the a7C R would be a good fit for this type of mixed use? Or would the faster fps and dual card slots of the a7R V be better suited? I'm trying to decide if the extra features of the a7R V are worth it for my purposes or if the a7C R will meet my needs. Appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you!
This depends highly on what your personal preferences are. If you are a professional needing a reliable workhorse for day-to-day gigs, A7R V has the extra features you need like the dual card slots, higher quality screen/EVF, and higher FPS shooting. If you are purely an enthusiast, travel frequently and lightly, or photography is your side-gig, the A7RC is definitely going to fit the bill for you, and the extra portability of the form factor will be an added bonus. I would just encourage you to buy quality SD cards to reduce the chances of a card failure. I’ve never had problems with ProGrade cards.
J, do you think this would be a good replacement for both a 5D Mark III and a M6 Mark II? I really want something that can give me 5D photo quality without being monster sized. I only shoot landscapes and occasionally still frame humans or animals.
If only the screen did the tilt thing in line with the camera body -- like the A7R V or the Leica Q3 -- this would be my new street photography camera! So close. So very close!
@@patrickmoney1894I love that 4 axis screen. They probably left it out to make a significant difference in user experience. The ones that care about that stuff have to shell out more now.
Have u considered a pinhole camera regarding the tilt possibilities? U could just tilt it any direction u care & the camera will not have a temper tantrum and shut down on you. Besides, u could get the brass version of the pinhole in a wooden camera body, handcrafted & that would put your buddies to shame who want to let u know that they have the A7RV or the Leica Q3. 😎😎
Hi, can someone help me to choose between this one or the A7RIV /A7C2 for sport photography, i know the 4RIV/ A7C2 is 10Fps and the A7CR is only 8 but (that matter that much?) i like the 61 Mp to crop the image and move the people to where i want, PLEASE HEEEELP
@@blueroomcolorado3165the cameras cool but if you already own the a7rv then you’re not gonna notice a difference. Do you really feel the need to upgrade at every camera release?
Absolutely NO WAY! Why should he? Philly is the Home of the Brave. Ben Franklin! The Liberty Bell. Even George must have crossed the Delaware there. The entire Revolutionary War was Not only fought there but also WON there! Haven't u read & seen the latest photo documentation proving the Jared Polin himself was there at every single important moment in American, yes US of A History. Thank Heavens! We have proof of that in real film. 35mm film and tin types to say the least! 😎😎
I was worried where the price was going to land and I can see it at 3k, anything more than that and you might as well get the A7RV. I have the A7RV and it’s great and was considering the A74 a second body but this could be interesting. The only issues I see is how much do you value what you’re loosing and if it’s worth just paying the $900 to get it
I would be interested in seeing how it holds up in different weather conditions. We know the A7R4 and A7r5 have had some weather issues from time to time, and this body does not look as strong as the A7r5; so only time will tell. The price though is crazy indeed !!!!
This will be a third body for me I have 2 a1’s so this will be a great street and everyday camera for me. Dont worry about the single slot as much. This will be a camera that is always with me
I think the 61MP stills with a 90mm macro G would do the job 99%, you could pixel shift but you wouldn't see too much of a difference, it might even oversharpen the negative/slide
Sure, as a Z9 shooter & growing up with DSLRs, I might be biased, but I genuinely want to know: Have you ever felt or heard anyone say they found the A7R_ to be too big and wished it smaller???? [I'm being totally seriously here - this is not a sarcastic jab] The thing that's always confused me about this is yes, I understand the appeal of a Fuji X100 / Leica Q style camera (having owned the former myself, as well as multiple Leica M cameras), but with these Sony mirrorless cameras, the lenses are still going to be the bottleneck of just how compact the entire package can be. And having a very small body on a large lens (even something like a 35mm f/1.4GM, which isn't THAT large in the grand scheme of things) feels awkward in my hand. Edit: haha this wasn't even intentional but I like how I said "having a very small body on a large lens" as opposed to "having a very large lens on a small body" because the former is actually what it feels like to me.
A7C R is going to be great camera to sneak into places where a full size mirrorless is going to be denied instantly. im excited for this and hope to find 1 open boxed so i can save $1K overall on the camera vs a a7RV
This. I’ve found my A7IV just a little too big to fit in an inconspicuous camera bag (maybe I just need a smaller lens lol). Having a beast like this in such a small body would be incredible.
@@antiseth3964 forsure, i have a hard time going anywhere and not being able to take pics with my cam, so having a camera with these specs that can fit in a hoodie with an 35mm and not look too crazy can weork.
So you’re going to sneak into places like a spy… Sounds so ridiculous! I live in Las Vegas and nobody has ever stopped me from walking into any place with my camera.
@@2424rocket not sure if youre just bragging about being in vegas, or havent been to any live events anywhere else that state they dont allow cameras with removable lenses, but having a smaller camera body i can have on my person (because a lot of place have bag size limits) & not always in my hand will be great plus easier to pass off as a point & shoot.
@huntercoleman8036 Sony doesnt need to compete with Canon RF lenses. They're already in their own league and can let 3rd parties produce the 15-35mm focal range.
@harryvuemedia5106 I only buy g master glass. So I'll stick to the 12 - 24 2.8. How ever it's not just the 15 to 35. It's also the 35mm should have been a 1.2. As well as the 85mm
@@huntercoleman8036 i have all 3 brands from Sony, Sigma and Tamron. I plan to add Rokinon to my arsneals too. There are a lot of people who cannot afford G-master lenses, they have cheaper options like Rokinon, Sigma and Tamron. 3rd party support is the reason why people are goign with Sony and why others are switching over to Sony. And yes, Sony is upgrading their older lenses to keep up with their mirrorless cameras and fix the flaws of the 1st models.
@@huntercoleman80361.2 is only a third of a stop more than 1.4, I feel it's quite overrated. You pay so much more for that, and the lens is heavier and bulky.
Oh, if I had a dream that I wish they could've put my A7R5 in my A7C body..... Well.... I guess dreams do come true! Gonna be a big smile on my face soon!
The biggest difference to me between the A7RV and the A7RC is that not only does the A7RV has two cards slots, but that they're both CF-Express Type A capable, whereas the A7RC has only one card slot that's not CF-Express Type A capable. I would like to have seen Jared discuss the FPS and buffer clearing on the A7RC, especially as he was shooting the Phillies game. Seems to me the slower FPS and buffer would make this camera not very appealing to someone who shoots sports or wildlife
I think that micro sd card slot idea might be a hint from Jared about a certain camera that is rumored to be released soon and likely has already had some people test it.
I am also a left eye shooter. Sorry, but that viewfinder placement is complete non-starter, for me. It is not something I would want to try to get used to. I have shot with a friend’s Sony 6xxx something and it is not for me. I do not know why Sony would release something like this, or why any left eye shooter would consider buying it.
Like the size but too many shortcomings for a $3K camera (for me). Wish they had made the shutter quieter too. Yes I know it can shoot in silent mode, but that's electronic shutter and for faster moving subjects may have unwanted distortion. And this is more of a stills camera, and Sony could have implemented the very flexible screen design of the A7RV, far better for stills.
Yes. U are absolutely right. But u already know Sony. They would have to charge seven G, yes seven G just to make that custom flexible screen design for u. Who knows? Maybe, seven G is nothing for u. If so, maybe you'd better put in a custom order. 😎😎
No, I need all the items in the menu. I like to customise my camera. Everyone has a different need. Less menu options would make the camera less appealing.
I have a7c and tested the a7cII and a7rv. For me, the weight of the a7c range is the max i can handle. I found the body of the a7rv too bulky and heavy. I cannot imagine to have this bigger camera on a pro gimbal. A7cII and a7cR are very good. I checked the new evf on the new model, the a7cII is definitely better than a7c (magnification is higher) and i found it very close to the a7rv. The a7cII seems to be the right body for hybrid shooting and price. If they had put the same price than a7c i would have try to upgrade but at this price i cannot afford it. Not a big deal, my a7c is very good to my opinion.
People always say that sony makes screen for their phones and tvs, so why aren't the camera screens better. Well they don't make those screens, they buy the panels from other manufacturers.
To me, a compact camera makes the most sense, if you can also get matching compact high quality lenses. Sony aren't exactly known for compact lenses as far as I know, so there is that. But sure, if I decided to get into a full frame mirrorless camera system, Sony would be at the top of the list, and the A7C R would definitely be an interesting option.
No. I did not wonder why your set was so empty! I already knew, the Gnome from Nome, Alaska told me the top secret of what goes on in Jared Polin's new studio: "Keep the place as empty as possible, keep the heat on the thermostat turned all the way down. Keep it like Santa's North Pole Workshop--As COLD as possible." That way even the Sony Fan Boys back at the factory will be exultant, yes exultant, jubilant with the results of your overheating tests of the new Sony a7C R camera! 😎😎
I wish SONY made a rangefinder style camera with fully blown specs like the A7R V, meaning using 9mp viewfinder, using a 2,1mp display, and actually make it bigger so no one would need to use the added grip. Silly SONY!
This looks like a great little vlogging camera or b-cam to the higher-end Sonys. I wish Nikon, Canon and Panasonic would step up their low-light game. Canon & Nikon's glass is superior, in my opinion, but Sony is beating them out with Autofocus and Sensor performance... Again, that's my opinion.
I guess it depends on which system you're in already, but for a little more I'd rather have the Canon R5 even as old as it is now. Why is Sony still dragging along at 7 to 10 fps even shooting electronic? If this camera could do 12 mechanical and 20 electronic it would make more sense. Sony shooters happy with low fps will be thrilled with this camera, but after shooting at 20fps I would be frustrated. That's a lot of smack for all the trade-offs imho.
The higher fps are compromised on none stacked, it’s 12bit and noticeable issues with RS making it rather useless for loads of the stuff you actually would use high fps for. high mech fps meaning 12-15 is in extended mode so there generally compromise not just bit but also often on Af, like lock on, evf refresh rate fake evf frames etc. It’s an endless list of compromises to get cameras like this to do high fps. It’s just never going to work very well. Do a stacked high fps and you never wanna ever do high fps of this type ever again. For majority having only 8-10fps just ain’t really an issue and those who want more probably just go with the older A9ii. I would not be surprised too see Sony do a A9iii in a A9C but at a 1k less. Personally lenses matters more, bodies are just going to be a constant levelling our or slightly leapfrog, I would never recommend Canon with their stands on thirpart choices
You are one of the best photo reviewers. I think that the A7CR should be priced at at least $500 less. If I had the choice (meaning, the money), I’d go with the A7RV, for better handling, better IBIS, and those dual slots.
What is the big deal? Sigma FP-L exists with the same (61MP)or better specs (and better video) some 1.5 years now. It's current price is under 2500$ and you can get it as a bundle with the extra EVF for just over 3100$. Which gives you a better articulated EVF (3.7mil dots) better rear screen (2.1mil dots) and an even smaller body. But of course, it's not a "SONY"...
I think this camera is going to be extremely popular. Perfect for travelers who can take a small prime and just crop a lot to zoom in and still get very good images.
Won't be nearly as popular as a7c2 and a6700.

@@antiseth3964 forsure, i have a hard time going anywhere and not being able to take pics with my cam, so having a camera with these specs that can fit in a hoodie with an 35mm and not look too crazy can weork.
So you’re going to sneak into places like a spy… Sounds so ridiculous! I live in Las Vegas and nobody has ever stopped me from walking into any place with my camera.
@@2424rocket not sure if youre just bragging about being in vegas, or havent been to any live events anywhere else that state they dont allow cameras with removable lenses, but having a smaller camera body i can have on my person (because a lot of place have bag size limits) & not always in my hand will be great plus easier to pass off as a point & shoot.
Good point! And in general, people are not going to pay much attention to cameras that look like rangefinders.
THAT AF IS NICE AF
Going with this. Cancelled the order I had just made for the A7rv
Mang, 2 new cameras and an GMii of 16-35, Sony is on a roll!!
Should have been a 15 to 35 instead. They really need to get on board with competing with canon glass.
@huntercoleman8036 Sony doesnt need to compete with Canon RF lenses. They're already in their own league and can let 3rd parties produce the 15-35mm focal range.
@harryvuemedia5106 I only buy g master glass. So I'll stick to the 12 - 24 2.8. How ever it's not just the 15 to 35. It's also the 35mm should have been a 1.2. As well as the 85mm
@@huntercoleman8036 i have all 3 brands from Sony, Sigma and Tamron. I plan to add Rokinon to my arsneals too. There are a lot of people who cannot afford G-master lenses, they have cheaper options like Rokinon, Sigma and Tamron. 3rd party support is the reason why people are goign with Sony and why others are switching over to Sony. And yes, Sony is upgrading their older lenses to keep up with their mirrorless cameras and fix the flaws of the 1st models.
@@huntercoleman80361.2 is only a third of a stop more than 1.4, I feel it's quite overrated. You pay so much more for that, and the lens is heavier and bulky.
Those 2 dusts on the sensor (4:40) is just killing me :()
Oh, if I had a dream that I wish they could've put my A7R5 in my A7C body..... Well.... I guess dreams do come true! Gonna be a big smile on my face soon!
The biggest difference to me between the A7RV and the A7RC is that not only does the A7RV has two cards slots, but that they're both CF-Express Type A capable, whereas the A7RC has only one card slot that's not CF-Express Type A capable. I would like to have seen Jared discuss the FPS and buffer clearing on the A7RC, especially as he was shooting the Phillies game. Seems to me the slower FPS and buffer would make this camera not very appealing to someone who shoots sports or wildlife
a7cr
I want an A7C S
I think that micro sd card slot idea might be a hint from Jared about a certain camera that is rumored to be released soon and likely has already had some people test it.
That is ?
rumor is Nikon ZF will have this@@Herkulez1981
@@Herkulez1981 Nikon zf full frame retro camera is supposed to have micro sd card for redundant and only recently has Jared ever brought up that idea.
I miss the highlight color dipped in paper lol
Just to be sure, "R" stands what for, Steve?
nice!
Jared, Wasn’t it you writing text for this video? Watch review of a7c v1 again and feel the difference.
I am also a left eye shooter. Sorry, but that viewfinder placement is complete non-starter, for me.
It is not something I would want to try to get used to. I have shot with a friend’s Sony 6xxx something and it is not for me.
I do not know why Sony would release something like this, or why any left eye shooter would consider buying it.
Like the size but too many shortcomings for a $3K camera (for me). Wish they had made the shutter quieter too. Yes I know it can shoot in silent mode, but that's electronic shutter and for faster moving subjects may have unwanted distortion. And this is more of a stills camera, and Sony could have implemented the very flexible screen design of the A7RV, far better for stills.
Yes. U are absolutely right. But u already know Sony. They would have to charge seven G, yes seven G just to make that custom flexible screen design for u. Who knows? Maybe, seven G is nothing for u. If so, maybe you'd better put in a custom order. 😎😎
How's the build quality?
I have this camera! All body is made of metal (magnesium)!!! Super quality!
Yeah I just bought the a7cii, all metal... Unlike the cheap plastic back on the a7iv.
Micro SD card, I Zee what you did there Jared ;)
Idk which one is more crippled, A7CR or the small APSC thing I don't care to remember
bahahhahahah you owe SAR an apology! 🤣🤣
No, I need all the items in the menu. I like to customise my camera. Everyone has a different need. Less menu options would make the camera less appealing.
I have a7c and tested the a7cII and a7rv. For me, the weight of the a7c range is the max i can handle. I found the body of the a7rv too bulky and heavy. I cannot imagine to have this bigger camera on a pro gimbal. A7cII and a7cR are very good. I checked the new evf on the new model, the a7cII is definitely better than a7c (magnification is higher) and i found it very close to the a7rv. The a7cII seems to be the right body for hybrid shooting and price. If they had put the same price than a7c i would have try to upgrade but at this price i cannot afford it.
Not a big deal, my a7c is very good to my opinion.
R8 is a better buy imo
People always say that sony makes screen for their phones and tvs, so why aren't the camera screens better. Well they don't make those screens, they buy the panels from other manufacturers.
the CF Express type A card is too expensive.
Yes, something Sony users often seem to forget to calculate in total cost. I think this camera uses SD cars though
In 2023, a camera that can’t even do 8 fps in uncompressed raw… Even the a73 can do 10fps uncompressed.
To me, a compact camera makes the most sense, if you can also get matching compact high quality lenses. Sony aren't exactly known for compact lenses as far as I know, so there is that.
But sure, if I decided to get into a full frame mirrorless camera system, Sony would be at the top of the list, and the A7C R would definitely be an interesting option.
Yes they are compact lenses compared to others, plus 3rd party too. You haven't been paying attention to 2nd gen lenses.
Sony has a very good range of very small lenses as well as some small Signa lenses for Sony
Sigma i-series primes are perfect for these new a7C's
@@fwiler Sigma all the way
R stand for Rizzz
Shame Sony doesn't do a 28mm pancake, could be a good street photography camera. Would it give the leica a run for its money?
Sigma 19mm prime and use it in APSC mode with the A7C's
Hey Jared how come you don't review any fuji products I'm a fuji shoot and would love to see some fuji content on here otherwise great content man.
No. I did not wonder why your set was so empty! I already knew, the Gnome from Nome, Alaska told me the top secret of what goes on in Jared Polin's new studio: "Keep the place as empty as possible, keep the heat on the thermostat turned all the way down. Keep it like Santa's North Pole Workshop--As COLD as possible." That way even the Sony Fan Boys back at the factory will be exultant, yes exultant, jubilant with the results of your overheating tests of the new Sony a7C R camera! 😎😎
Going to wait for the Sony A7CA1 😅.
10am est embargo exp
I wish SONY made a rangefinder style camera with fully blown specs like the A7R V, meaning using 9mp viewfinder, using a 2,1mp display, and actually make it bigger so no one would need to use the added grip. Silly SONY!
This looks like a great little vlogging camera or b-cam to the higher-end Sonys. I wish Nikon, Canon and Panasonic would step up their low-light game. Canon & Nikon's glass is superior, in my opinion, but Sony is beating them out with Autofocus and Sensor performance... Again, that's my opinion.
Agree about the screens -another reason why phones are winning
I guess it depends on which system you're in already, but for a little more I'd rather have the Canon R5 even as old as it is now. Why is Sony still dragging along at 7 to 10 fps even shooting electronic? If this camera could do 12 mechanical and 20 electronic it would make more sense. Sony shooters happy with low fps will be thrilled with this camera, but after shooting at 20fps I would be frustrated. That's a lot of smack for all the trade-offs imho.
The higher fps are compromised on none stacked, it’s 12bit and noticeable issues with RS making it rather useless for loads of the stuff you actually would use high fps for. high mech fps meaning 12-15 is in extended mode so there generally compromise not just bit but also often on Af, like lock on, evf refresh rate fake evf frames etc. It’s an endless list of compromises to get cameras like this to do high fps. It’s just never going to work very well.
Do a stacked high fps and you never wanna ever do high fps of this type ever again. For majority having only 8-10fps just ain’t really an issue and those who want more probably just go with the older A9ii. I would not be surprised too see Sony do a A9iii in a A9C but at a 1k less.
Personally lenses matters more, bodies are just going to be a constant levelling our or slightly leapfrog, I would never recommend Canon with their stands on thirpart choices
Sony has a great lineup. I can't wait to see what Canon will offer
Time for Canon EOS R5 II
Time for a killer photo-only camera. The whole hybrid camera movement has gotten old.
@@DESIGNS-vo1mt not for me! The Canon R5C has changed the game for me.
As a canon user i feel pity 😌
I dont know. I just don't feel like this is good for $900 less than the a7RV. Too pricey for everything that was cut
You are one of the best photo reviewers. I think that the A7CR should be priced at at least $500 less. If I had the choice (meaning, the money), I’d go with the A7RV, for better handling, better IBIS, and those dual slots.
Wanted to consider this camera but thanks no this time
R stands for Rsoul🤪
In Europe $4000 The most interesting bits of the A7R5 It certainly hasn’t got .
1 card slot in 2023 should be illegal.
how to tell that the writer has writer's block ... yes, flash back story first.
how to tell your R&D departement is stagnant R&D ... yes, Repackaging.
What is the big deal? Sigma FP-L exists with the same (61MP)or better specs (and better video) some 1.5 years now. It's current price is under 2500$ and you can get it as a bundle with the extra EVF for just over 3100$. Which gives you a better articulated EVF (3.7mil dots) better rear screen (2.1mil dots) and an even smaller body. But of course, it's not a "SONY"...
I have Sony A7iii, shooting in silent mode will ruin your shots.
how?
