Sony will introduce the new Sony A7C II compact full-frame camera on August 29, 2023. The source revealed the detailed characteristics of the model, and also published its images.
First, the camera will get a full-frame 33 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. Exactly the same is installed in the Sony A7IV model. The available sensor light sensitivity range is ISO 100 – 51200.
The new Sony A7C II camera will receive a BIONZ XR processor with support for working with artificial intelligence (AI Processor), as well as a five-axis matrix stabilization ( IBIS ) with an efficiency of five steps. The new Sony A7C II camera looks like this:
Compared to the first model, the Sony A7C II seems to have received a wider body. However, while there is no exact data on the dimensions of the case of the novelty. Perhaps the source will publish them before the announcement.
The camera will be capable of burst photography at up to 10 fps. In addition, the camera will receive advanced video capabilities: 10-bit 4K 60fps with the S-Cinetone profile, which allows you to get a fairly high-quality and cinematic image without color correction. 60 fps will also allow you to slow down the shooting twice during editing.
The following high-angle image of the Sony A7C II has also been released:
The camera will also feature a 2.36M-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3-inch 1.03M-dot touchscreen LCD.
In addition, the new Sony A7C II camera will have an advanced autofocus system. The source, who published the characteristics of the camera, clarified that it will receive 759 autofocus points with support for real-time eye tracking. This system should work both in photo mode and in video.
It is reported that the new camera from Sony will receive a function to compensate for the effect of “focus breathing”. The announcement, according to the source, is scheduled for August 29, 2023, that is, very soon.
The camera will also support video-enhancing special effects, which were pioneered in Sony’s compact vlogging camera segment. The exact price at the start of sales has not yet been disclosed.
Also in 2023, the Sony A9 III professional camera is expected to be announced . Its sensor will be based on the sensor of the Sony A1 camera – this will allow the camera to shoot in continuous shooting mode at a frequency of 30 fps with an ISO range of 50 to 102400. The Sony A9 III is also expected to receive 4K video recording capabilities at 60 frames per second, and its price will be about 4 999 dollars.
The Sony A9 III will feature a 3.7-million-dot electronic viewfinder that will give photographers a clear view of the scene without blackout. The new mirrorless camera will also feature a fast 759-point hybrid AF system and real-time AI-based eye AF.
