Sony Alpha 7C ILCE7CL/S Silver 2022
Combining a 24.2MP full-frame sensor with 693 phase-detection AF points and 10fps burst shooting in a 667g body, this is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame camera. Its 15-stop dynamic range, 14-bit uncompressed RAW output, and flip-out touchscreen make it a versatile tool for both stills and 4K video with full pixel readout. This camera is best for vloggers and hybrid creators who prioritize full-frame image quality in a compact, travel-friendly form factor.
