According to the latest rumors, The Sony A7C Mark II camera is coming with the same 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS BSI sensor and the same IBIS unit, that we have seen in the Sony A74 camera. But, the EVF is expected to remain the same as the Sony A7C Camera.
Take a look at what the source said to the rumor mill
We can expect A7C II next year. Sony already reserved some components from A7IV for “another camera” including for example sensor and IBIS. Also they scheduled increased production ONLY for EVF from A7C mk1 for this year. So we are expecting A7C II same specs as A7IV, redesigned shell but same EVF like mk1.
On Nov 26th, 2022 in one of our articles published [Sony upcoming cameras of 2023] we told back then the Sony A7C Mark II camera will arrive in Q3 / Q4 of 2023 with the same sensor that we have seen in Sony A74. Now, we are getting the same confirmation from other rumor mills too.
Latest Sony A7C Mark II – Rumor Analysis
Is the rumored information correct or not? Yes, we do know based on the scheduled announcement patterns of these Mirrorless makers, there is a high probability that we will see the Sony A7C Mark II camera in the year 2023 and we have said the same in our previous post too.
But the big question is, as the source said the Sony A7C Mark II will use the same sensor and IBIS unit as the Sony A7 IV camera,
1. Sony 33MP Full-Frame Exmor R CMOS BSI Sensor in A7C Mark II
Let’s talk about 33MP Sensor only – The source speculates that the A7C Mark II will feature the same sensor as the A7 IV, which is a strong possibility given that it’s already been 10+ months since the A7 IV was released, and as the market competition is begin raised up and competitors like Panasonic S5 Mark II | S5X arrived, they have no other option then to make an affordable Sony A74 mark IV curry for Cinematographers and content creators if they want to survive in $2000 body price range of cameras (against Pannsonic S5 II), As you know the Sony A7 C Mark I look drastically weak in front of S5 Mark II and yes, the Sony FX30 is a good option for beginner cinematographers but it features an APS-C CMOS sensor, the A7C Mark II will be a perfect competitor of Panasonic S5 Mark II if they upscale the video core specs (Like 4k 60p uncropped) and remove the overheating issue from the camera.
Not only that, the A7C Mark II is expected to have a more content creators-friendly body design, to make it more user-friendly undoubtedly we will see some sacrifice in the controls or EVF part compared to the A74. So, the Sony A7 IV camera will remain safe in its place if someone wants a super perfect Hybrid Camera more for photography and a bit less for dedicated video work A7 IV is still the perfect option for them, but at the same time the Sony A7C Mark II will not only attract a new consumer base, but it will also stop the migration of Sony users to a different brand like Panasonic or Canon.
2. Same or Redesigned Sony A7 IV IBIS Unit inside A7C Mark II Body?
Ok, the sensor part is perfect, but how is it possible, the upcoming Sony A7C Mark II will use the same IBIS unit as the Sony A7 IV camera ?.take a look at what dpreview said about the Sony A7C camera
Sony has redesigned its in-body stabilization system to fit into a much smaller body than before
Is the rumor mill source really correct with the set of information he shared with us? Since, if Sony uses the same IBIS Sensor mechanism of the Sony A74 IV camera in Sony A7C Mark II Body, the camera will lose its Truly compact form factor, will Sony camera division marketing team allow this to happen?. Yes, they can use a Redesigned version of the Sony A7 Mark IV IBIS unit to easily fit inside the Sony A7C Mark II body and the camera retains its compact form factor.
And yes, finally the EVF, the camera is made for cinematographers, content creators, and videographers so having a high-quality EVF isn’t that important in the upcoming Sony A7C Mark II camera. So, yes the Sony A7C Mark II may arrive with the same 2.36m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder.
