First and foremost, the image quality is nothing short of spectacular. The A7C II's full-frame sensor produces stunningly sharp, detailed, and vibrant photos. Low-light shooting is a breeze, thanks to its impressive ISO range. The dynamic range is fantastic, ensuring your shots capture all the nuances of light and shadow. The camera's build is remarkable; it's unbelievably compact, making it perfect for on-the-go photographers like myself. The design is sleek, and it feels incredibly sturdy in hand. The tilting touchscreen is a delightful addition, making framing and reviewing shots a breeze. Autofocus is fast and incredibly accurate, whether for stills or video. The real-time eye-tracking and subject tracking features are incredibly reliable and take the stress out of capturing that perfect shot. Speaking of video, the A7C II is a videographer's dream. 4K video is a joy to work with, and the camera's stabilization ensures smooth, professional-quality footage. Overall, the Sony A7C II is a dream come true for any photographer or videographer. It's a versatile, compact, and incredibly capable camera that delivers outstanding results.

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
has a built-in focus motor
Sony a7C II
Sony Alpha ZV-E1
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
Sony a7C II
Sony Alpha ZV-E1
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
viewfinder coverage

Optics

sensor size

Full frame

Full frame

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Sony E

Sony E

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

51200 ISO

102400 ISO

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

204800 ISO

409600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Sony a7C II
Sony Alpha ZV-E1
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
continuous shooting (mechanical)

10 fps

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony Alpha ZV-E1)

The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Sony a7C II
Sony Alpha ZV-E1
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

2160 x 60 fps

2160 x 60 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
