I don't think thats true. As I understand A7c uses sensor and AF from A7III, which was released 3 years ago.

LL an attempt to dominate the low end of the camera market with a camera that IMHO, seems a poor fit with other cameras in the Sony line. Sony's strength IMHO is in the mid range and high end pro and advanced hobbist market. Are they going to come out with a range low end lenses in FF? And can Sony produce price competitive lenses for this market? That low end of the market is IMO,going to be dominated by cell phones with more advance lens system offering WA and moderate telephoto capability.
I think you may be misjudging the A7C. It actually has one of the newest and best autofocus systems and one of the best sensors for image quality among Sony's cameras. It is just in a much smaller body, which for many people will be an attractive advantage.
The point I was discussing is not when the sensor was introduced but how good the image quality is. The A7C and the A7III have about the best image quality of Sony's cameras. If you go to Bill Claff's site, Photons to Photos, and check the Photographic Dynamic Range charts, you will see that the A7C and the A7III have better PDR than the A1, the A7RIV, the A9, the A9II, the A7RII, and the A7RIII.
While the A7C and the A7III share best-in-class image quality, the A7C has better autofocus than the A7III. The A7C shares one of Sony's latest AF systems with the A7SIII. It is superb AF and a very strong version of Real Time Tracking and Eye-AF.
The A7C offers some of Sony's best image-making technology in a small, lightweight package.
Not quite…the a7r3, a7r4 (and a7r) have higher PDR than the a7c according to Photons to Photos and an appreciable resolution bump. But, the A7c IQ is still fantastic, and the AF and small package are fabulous.
The A7C does in fact have better PDR than the A7RIV, the A7RIII, and the A7R.
