I owned an a7c for a year now and i have also used an a7iv. a7iv is definitely the better camera but now you have to factor in the cost as a7iv is $1000 dollars more expensive. Depending on your budget you might want to invest that in a good f1.4 lens if you want low light shots etc. If you have the money great. But if you need a camera right now, an a7c with a good 1.4 lens will be better (for low light) than if you exhausted your budget and stuck with a a7iv f2.8 lens or slower. The other things to consider is definitely if you need dual card slots (a7c is single slot) and whether you need more buttons. A7c is also way more compact in size than a7iv. The color science and menu system is also better than a7c.
That raises the same questions as with anything else "new" coming out. New tech sure, but at what cost? often getting the latest and greatest isn't the smartest move.

Old tech is also a bit of a stretch. What more do new Alpha cameras offer that this doesn't? Strap it to a solid lens and this is just as capable as any "new camera" out there. If you want 10bit and "higher end specs", that also comes with higher end prices that a lot of people, including myself as aren't looking to pay.

I almost went with the A7iii but went with this one as the built in gyro data will come in handy for the video work I also got this for.

I've been using it with a Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens and my photos look no different from those coming out of my cousin's Alpha a7IV. These aren't computer graphics cards, "new tech" rarely makes much of a real world difference.
It is such a great deal, i would be all over it if I didn't have one already too. Repped

Pretty sure it's the lowest price I've seen. Too bad they don't have similar credit card programs like payboo.

Wonder if an A7C2 is in the works. I really want one, but I'm holding out for a possible upgraded version next year.

Despite my account being student verified, sometimes the site still shows me regular prices. I just google "Adorama Student" and then go to that link and search Sony A7c and it'll show you the EDU Discount price.

New Sony Cameras coming out this month. A7C fits in a weird spot in the lineup and is really old tech at this point.

Looks like the a7iii is also on sale for $1498 with EDU. $90 more, but still a decent deal.
