Sony has announced the launch of the A7c II, a compact full-frame camera designed for photographers and videographers seeking high performance in a lightweight body. Weighing just 514 grams, the device combines portability with advanced features, including a new body image stabilization system. This technology aims to reduce blur in photos and videos, even when shooting handheld in challenging conditions.

The A7c II features a 33-megapixel full-frame sensor paired with Sony’s latest BIONZ XR processing engine. This setup allows for detailed images and 4K video recording at 60 frames per second. Autofocus performance has been upgraded with real-time tracking, ensuring sharp results for fast-moving subjects. The camera also supports AI-based subject recognition, improving accuracy for faces, animals, and vehicles.
Built for versatility, the body includes a vari-angle touchscreen LCD, making it easier to capture shots from unusual angles. Weather-sealing protects the camera from dust and moisture, appealing to outdoor shooters. The design retains a classic rangefinder style but adds modern controls, such as a dedicated video button and customizable dials. Users can choose between black or silver finishes.
A key highlight is the upgraded in-body image stabilization, rated at 7.0 stops. This system compensates for shake in low-light scenarios or when using long lenses. Videographers benefit from Active Mode, which enhances stabilization during dynamic movements like walking or panning. The camera supports S-Log3 and S-Cinetone profiles, giving creators flexibility in color grading.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C for fast data transfer. The multi-interface hotshoe accommodates accessories like microphones or flashes. Compatibility with Sony’s Imaging Edge Mobile app enables remote shooting and file sharing.
The Sony A7c II will be available in late October. Pricing starts at $2,199. Preorders begin next week through Sony’s official website and authorized retailers. Accessories such as extended grips and specialized lenses will launch alongside the camera.
This release strengthens Sony’s lineup of full-frame cameras, targeting content creators who prioritize mobility without sacrificing quality. Early reviews praise the balance of size and capability, noting its potential for travel and documentary projects.
