Sony A7c vs Sony RX10 III

Following is a in-depth review of the Sony A7c vs Sony RX10 III, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom and they are both built by Sony. The sensor resolution of the A7c (24MP) and the RX10 III (20MP) is very well matched but the A7c (Full frame) and RX10 III (1") feature totally different sensor size.

The A7c was introduced 4 years after the RX10 III which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the A7c scores versus the RX10 III in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Quite often, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by looking at technical specs. The image below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A7c and RX10 III.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A7c with its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Sony A7c will give you more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger A7c is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
