Is the SONY A7C good for PHOTOGRAPHY? | Review 2021 - Part 2 | Gear Review, Episode 5

In this video I travel around the Scottish Highlands testing out the Sony a7C's photography skills before giving my thoughts on using this camera for photography after 6 months of use!

We start at Glen Nevis, taking photos of the amazing An Steall Waterfall, before moving to Loch Lochy and the Eas Chia-Aig Waterfalls. Then we move on to some shots of Ben Nevis before moving on to Loch Treig and Treig Dam. Finally, on the way back, we get the Mavic Mini drone out and fly over Loch Linnhe before heading on to the amazing scenery of Glen Coe to top it all off!

After this, I give some positives and negatives of the a7C. Some positives include the flexibility of the RAW (ARW) files, the 24MP full-frame sensor, and the shadow recovery. Negatives include the viewfinder and those pesky Sony menu systems coming back to haunt us again!

I hope you enjoy this one!
