I think there should have been a fourth option in the poll for those who aren't buying the camera not because of its price tag but because the camera is severely crippled down in features. I belong to this group and I see some other people not buying it for similar reasons. As someone who favors a small RF form factor camera, I am not buying A7c because I find it underwhelming in some features and aspects I find important:
i) It lacks a thorough touch interface.
ii) It lacks customization buttons, second dial, joystick.
To a lesser importance (for me, peronally):
iii) The EVF needs to be improved. Even the back LCD is just so so.
iv) The top shutter speed of 1/4000s is for mid to low level cameras. It doesn't match the price tag of A7c. Though, I have to say if the electronic silent shutter performs just as well as the one in A9, I don't mind if the mechanical shutter is completely omitted (making the camera even lighter than what it is now!)
v) The IBIS on all the Sony cameras I have had so far is just so so. A7c's IBIS is even weaker. Though this is not an important factor for me as I have learned not to rely much on it. If the new software IBIS implementation for video that is in A7s iii has found its way into A7c, that can be super handy.
For me to buy the camera, at least one of the first two conditions must have been met.
Moreover, as a camera particularly useful for street photography or as a run&gun camera or a camera that remains with the (urban) photographer all the time the performance of the silent electronic shutter becomes important. Ideally being able to perform adequately under all artificial light (similar to A9) is great to have.
The body built quality seems to be decent from what I have read so far (though nobody has explicitly examined it for confirmation yet).
