Ok, keep mulling over A7C II vs A7CR and which to get. So let’s ignore video between the two and look at the other differences between them. I may misstep or leave off what one has over the other so feel free to correct me
a7RC advantages;
- 61 MP vs. 33 MP
- 26 MP in APS-C mode
- grip included (but no Arca Swiss support so I’m not sure I would use it)
- pixel shift modes
a7C II advantages
- lower price
- 10 vs 8 frames per second
- 44 vs. 36 frames increased buffer depth
- lower output noise due to larger pixels ?
- larger number of AF focus point and more sensor coverage
- higher ISO of 51,200 vs 32,000
- higher CIPA rating of 530 vs 490 with EVF
So am I missing any that is still related? Is there anything else to consider?
Follow up. Size must really be important since I’m now seeing “new” A7RV for less than the A7CR here on FM Buy & Sell send they have all those additional kill features like great EVF, great LCD, two card slots, and 8 stop IBIS....Show more →
Another difference is that the A7Cii has a low pass filter while the R doesn't. So you will get softer images but less moire with the cheaper camera.

I will have to check that out since a review I watched indicated that neither had a LPF.

Seems for the A7IV there is back and forth on the 33 Mpixel sensor having an Anti Aliasing filter or LPF. A lot of the reviews that mention this are relying on what they said about A7 IV. Really don’t know who to believe and who is a good resource. Gowling to reach out to Mark Galer on this.
I've already sold my A7C to a reseller for a good price. I have the A7CII on order from my favorite dealer.
For me the II version fixes most of the things I did not like about the original: lack of a second, useful dial for concurrent SS and F control, the useless EC dial, embedded raw file previews too small. The additional MP is a nice bonus. I did not mind the EVF on the original, but the II's should be nicer.

Sold my A7C as well. Now I'm planning on selling my A7IV as well if I get the A7C II. Plan to keep my A7RV no mater what I do.
Undecided on my recent A6700 purchase. Wondering if that is sufficient for portability. Can't decide if I want to go with the A6700, the A7C II, my original choice, or the higher resolution A7CR. Help me choose. Allhave some advantage.

Ok, I could not find a definitive source to believe if an A7IV does or does not have an anti aliasing filter. Many varying opinions here. Also it appears that Sony is pretty quite on this subject. Based on that I will assume the A7C is using the same technology but doesn’t mean we know what it is. So I won’t use this to disqualify it. Yes, the A7CR is higher resolution but my experience with the my own A7RV and the A7IV says that for a lot of things I don’t need it.

But for the times you could use the extra resolution it’s sure nice to have. I find zero negatives with more resolution, but when I want to print very large landscapes or when I need to crop heavily, those pixels make a big difference.

The negative people keep bringing up is larger file size, although I'm upgrading my computer and can't believe how inexpensive huge capacity hard drives are.
Also, don't these cameras have options for reduced raw file size?
I was 100% sure to buy the A7C R when SAR announced that it will have the tilt screen from the A7R V. After Sony's official announcement I was 100% sure that I won't buy it Can't get used to the flippy screen. But this is just me ...

You'll want as fast a card reader and usb connectivity as you can get, too.

Depending on if you watch your computer as the images are transferred by the card reader or you can do something else like pay some bills online or maybe go have a coffee. I don’t fully understanding this needing the fastest devices all the time.
