Sony A7c vs Sony NEX-7

Here, we are matching up the Sony A7c versus Sony NEX-7, both Advanced Mirrorless digital cameras and they are both designed by Sony. The sensor resolution of the A7c (24MP) and the NEX-7 (24MP) is very well matched but the A7c (Full frame) and NEX-7 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The A7c was released 8 years later than the NEX-7 and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the A7c grades against the NEX-7 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Alpha A7c & Sony Alpha NEX-7. The complete galleries are available at Sony A7c Gallery & Sony NEX-7 Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and proportions. The Sony A7c has got outer measurements of 124mm x 71mm x 60mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 2.4") and a weight of 509 grams (1.12 lbs) and the Sony NEX-7 has measurements of 120mm x 67mm x 43mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.7") along with a weight of 400 grams (0.88 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you choose at that time. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the A7c compared to the NEX-7.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the A7c and NEX-7 is 78 and 84 respectively.

Often, its hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A7c and NEX-7.

Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical MP but not the same sensor measurements. The A7c provides the larger sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower depth of field less difficult. The younger A7c is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
