Keep in mind there are only two shutter settings on this camera: full electronic shutter, and electronic first curtain shutter. There is no full mechanical shutter mode. That is certainly a limitation one should be aware of. For me it isn't a deal breaker, but each person will have to decide that for themselves.
Personally I usually shoot in EFCS, and when I don't I almost always use full electronic shutter these days (at least with my Sony cameras), but if somebody uses full mechanical shutter a lot, then they should think carefully if the limitations of the shutter will be a problem for them.
Guy, it doesn't function like the A7 III. The A7 III has a full mechanical shutter you can use. This camera does not.
Nice point and explanation, Steve. I personally almost never use full mechanical and never use flash and I am almost always in full silent on my A9. But for people who do need mechanical, it would make a difference.
[EDIT] The key issue for me on a mechanical shutter in other than the A9 is the banding effect with LED lights. I wonder if the EFCS/mechanical-second in the A7C would or would not be ok for LED lights. It could produce half the banding effect. I haven't tested this yet. It would be an important point for a fair number of people, especially as a family camera.
However, I note that the A7C does have an anti-flicker setting, so it is quite possible that it does not produce any banding effect.
