Think about it logically.
The A7C series, despite its warts, is:
>responsible for a massive portion of E-mount adoption
>bestselling
>revealing of an enormous market for compact yet usable full frame stills MILCs
Why hasn't anyone else copied the concept?
inb4:
>A7C bodies are e-waste trash
Yes, that's why I want somebody else to try it.
>Sigma, Panasonic, Nikon
They all pussied out hard and catered too much to videofags. The fp could have been perfectly fine if they had traded the heatsink for IBIS and made the EVF solution less massive (ergo, added a hotshoe and copied Leica's Visoflex). Meanwhile, the bf is the fp but even less functional. The S9 caters to vlogfags above all. Without a viewfinder you're more or less fucked if you want to manual focus. Same for the ZR.
For this to work, these faggot product engineers need to get real. A small body, ideally 61MP, with IBIS, reasonably sized grip to not have to skimp on battery life and SD card(s), and a modular tilting EVF. It's really that fucking simple, and Sony has proved that it's not only technically and economically feasible, but also a very good business move. So why haven't they done it?

There's also a great compact 50mm f2 for FE, and sigma's 90mm f2.8 is currently without paralell. No one else makes a compact FF f2.8 telephoto.

Sony has never really been a "professional" (corporate snapshitter) brand and the first E mount cameras were not released targeting the "fast aperture pro zoom" market of journos and wedding snappers... the first lenses for it were compact f4s. I'm glad sony has continued to forget to think of them, otherwise their cameras would be DSLR sized like canon's.

Get on topic you fucking spergs. Generic sony shilling/shitting belongs in the gear thread.
The point is that Sony has a golden concept with the A7C line, and this is proved by the fact that it continues to outsell despite being rather poorly executed, as you've all graciously demonstrated and as was already implied in the OP.

That's fine, those bodies have their place, but it's like there's some kind of taboo for them to try something else.
Rumor has it that Nikon reps start to sweat if you ask about using the ZR for stills. Think about that for a moment, it either means they're gearing up for a full-frame Z30 release (good scenario) or they have some kind of internal politics bullshit going on where they're huffing the copium about Sony continuing to exploit this segment with zero competition and BTFOing them in the overall charts as a result.
>>
>>
>>
>>4496235
I could see them taking the ZR frame and putting the remaining 45mp sensor in it as one of the last expeed 7 cameras before the z9ii and expeed 8. They'd call it a zfR or something stupid. Could do well if it has a viewfinder, attachable or otherwise.

lol take your meds anon. I posted the nikon and OM system rec because they specifically asked for alternatives to Sony. Sony has good options for wildlife too. They are decent cameras I have take great pictures with before. I just don't like how their lenses render street lights at night so I swapped to Nikon. I will say your constant screeching does more to put people off Sony than anything else. No one wants to be mistaken for being like you jsut cause they bought a Sony.

>buy om system to save weight!
For phone IQ? No thanks
picrelated wildlife photog did a comparision between nikon z8 and om1.2 ... he even went so far to fake m43 on full frame by cropping in 2x and turns out the full frame image cropped in to 2x is still better quality than the m43 at its native crop
and if you're willing to play that crop game all weight and price differences disappear. well the full frame kit actually is less expensive and weighs less lol

how will you rectify this problem?
buy an f11-16 lens that is past the diffraction limited aperture when wide open and hit it with the AI sharpening?

I think jerking off about 2/3rds of a stop of wide-open aperture is retarded. Don't get me wrong, snoy word funny and all, but the optical performance of the lens is what matters.
I'd happily give up f/2 > f/2.8 for a 50/40mm prime if it were the better performer.

I keep seeing anons use this "sterile" word in reference to sharp lenses but what the fuck does it mean? It's just such an ambiguous, subjective discriptor. Like cool, I get that for hundred years plus your corners were mushy but I don't see the problem with that being fixed more or less now.
Also, if that's your biggest concern then slap a 1/4 diffusion filter on and then you can take that off when you want better performance. In comparison you can't do anything if your turd of a lens isn't sharp enough.
>>4496286
>I would rather everything be amazing for fuck all money
And I'd like a Porsche 918 for $100, what's your point? Also, better is subjective as per anon above. Better could mean less shading, or better resolution, or another dozen things. If you want the best of all worlds you're going to pay top dollar (and still not get everything).
>>
>>

>>
>>4496289
I think it's a too much information thing. For example if a lens faithfully reproduces every pimple, wart, pore and bristle of a beautiful subject in zillion megapickles it could be called sterile. Using a simpler lens with pleasant "character" or the "sterile" lens and a filter smeared with vaseline with could produce less detailed and faithful but more pleasant photo.
It depends of subject and intention. Lens with "character" likely could be a bad choice for a star field photo but good for a moody landscape in fog.

Alright, I see your interpretation. But my counterpoint to that, is that your issues only affect a specific subset of photography, namely portraits and very specific landscape.
If I can help it I use a 1/2 or 1/4 mist filter when I know I will be shooting portraits or people in general. But for my astro, landscapes, urban, macro, and product photography I'd rather have the optical clarity which I can't claw back from a soft shitty lens.
So, looks like it comes down to use-case... which uhhh lo and behold applies to basically every camera related purchase. Calling a lens sterile with intentionally bad connotations seems like a cop out for anons that want to shit on something that's technically superior.

I've sold my A7CII for the ZR to use as 50/50 photography and video. Very pleased with it. I much prefer the Nikon body as it feels nice in hand somehow, huge ass screen to replace that awful a7cii evf, buttons feel better, good UI, files are nicer to work with photo and video. So far not missing the manual shutter, no banding at all up to now (6000 raw files). Lots of fast movement of my kids. I guess the sensor is fast enough. Only thing that is annoying for all compact FF bodies: missing compact lenses. The 40mmf2 is mediocre. Good thing Viltrox is kinda filling that market.
I'm still craving for something like the X-E5 or x-Pro3 that come with truly small lenses in width and length. But I don't wanna sacrifice the image quality

Your options are limited (by design) with RF mount. If you truly want to pursue the neverending autism of 3D pop you'll need a Nikon or Leica body for the thin sensor stack and subsequent compatibility with rangefinder and vintage lenses, or skip full frame purgatory entirely, to enter medium format heaven where the natural response of film combined with the higher resolution and smaller aberrations of 120 format compared to 135 create 3d pop in abundance for little effort.

If you're asking genuinely, then Voigtlander 58/1.4, Zeiss ZM 35/1.4, Pentax 67 105/2.4 are a few examples of lenses typically said to reproduce depth in a pleasant and realistic way ("3d pop"). I'm sure some jackass is going to come out of the woodwork and disagree on an irrelevant technicality, so you're better off doing your own research.

Notice how none of the lenses I listed are European and only one of them is out of production as of 2026.
If you're one of the few unfortunates that can't see 3D pop no matter how hard they try (might be related to not having an internal monologue, or being unable to visualize and rotate an apple in your mind), it might be time to take a step back from such discussions.

Voigtlander and zeiss are pretty good in general for 3d pop. The Voigtlander Noktons in Z mount are pretty good for it if you want something with modern coatings and a chip.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>4496379
3d pop comes from lighting,camera,lens,editing, and proper technique. There's no combo of camera that just shits out 3d pop in every picture.
On the other hand shitty cameras and lenses may be incapable of producing the effect no matter how hard you try.
>>
>>
>>
>>4496381
Yeah this seems mostly true in my experience. It's easier to achieve the larger the format and some lenses just aren't capable of it. It really does come down to technique and the right conditions. You'll never get it with a cellphone though.

Yeah It's gotta be the field curvature mixed with the vignette. If you get a good central light on your subject it's pop city.

>>4496417
It's the only reasonably priced full compact rangefinder style body with decent image quality. The Leica Q3 is more expensive for worse image quality and no back button focus. The Sony rxriii is worse image quality and Sony. The a7cr doesn't have good 28mm lens options to resolve it. Also Sony is gross to shoot. The gfx100rf has a pretty good 28mm lens and can crop into 35mm if you are willing to lose image quality for reach. I wish their was a cheaper option from canikon but they are obsessed with imitating an slr. I don't really need ibis and will be shooting it stopped down so the f4 doesn't really bother me that much. I'm more on the fence to see if Nikon or canon do anything interesting this year.
>>
>>
>>4496426
It's nothing objective or measurable. It's just a pseud term used to describe images that have sharp detail on the subject, while also having a shallow depth of field. You can do it with almost any f/2.8 macro lens wide open or 1/3 of a stop down from that. Having your background be really far away from your subject with nothing in between the two also helps. If you buy a lens based on this you fell for one of the oldest reoccurring baits on the board. It's like the photography equivalent of falling for flat-earth bait.

"B-but nikon and canon have PANCAKES!"
Yeah so your only options are 28mm or 26+28 (plastic)+40 (plastic) and nikon's pancake is notoriously awful and not even a real pancake (it's the same size as the 28mm but has the housing converted into an optional "hood" that adds back the filter threads and protects the telescoping optics)
Sony is unbeaten for small lenses. If you need a small camera and hate sony your only other real option is a fujifilm x-e5.
Micro four thirds is literally not an option. It costs as much as a used sony a7c kit, with worse colors and IQ, and the only plus is super shitty super slow zoom lenses with aperture ratings like f8-11 equivalent and f5.6 primes. Might as well buy a pns, nikon 1 or pentax Q so it ACTUALLY fits in your pocket, or better yet, a ricoh gr.

All of those third parties could (and some of them already do) manufacture for L mount. So there's no excuse for the Alliance, besides bullshit product-politics reasons like 'we don't want to compromise our existing lineups' (hardly anyone buys them to begin with).

panasonic and sigma can't make cameras with working autofocus
the entire point of mirrorless is better autofocus across the whole frame to make shooting more like using a phone

>panasonic and sigma can't make cameras with working autofocus
This is not the gear thread for chatting shit about brands, this is for discussing why nobody but Sony has done an A7C-like camera. So we'll have an A7C-like camera with shitty AF, who cares? Most people use the fp and bf for adapting rangefinder lenses anyway so the AF point is completely irrelevant

Ignoring the fact that your lord and saviour is dead, no he couldn't. First off he didn't design most of the products you know and love, just like daddy Elon he simply oversees the real designers.

Sure rabbi. I wonder if anyone can draw a correlation between (((night media))) and youtubers “leaving sony” (while sony’s sales remain strong), and the timing of sony dumping israeli company altair and plausibly, getting rid of israeli influence/spying internally.
>>
>>4496681
Sony is well liked outside of /p/. Most professionals use sony. /p/ is subject to 24/7 inescapable sony hate unique among the internet. This sony hate involves obvious reposts and is connected to a poster who blatantly admitted he worked for the jidf and only showed up on /p/ to gaslight the three nazis into going away…
And this worsened in the same timeframe sony began divesting from israeli interests. It’s a little too suspicious.
>>
>>
>>4496685
Mass appeal among pros in the professional equipment market matters a lot more than mass appeal in the snack food market.
Most pros use sony. For their job. Every single day. Canon has a huge lens catalog and great pro support and yet people overwhelmingly go for sony. Huge agencies keep dumping canon contracts for MORE EXPENSIVE sony gear. Every new sony release ends up being the best selling camera while canon is always middle of the list and pads their market share with consumer aps-c cameras. Photographers love sony, they work with sony, and get exactly what they ask for from sony instead of what a marketing department thinks would be ideal for “most consumers” hence the customizable everything and menu system reminiscent of magic lantern. They’re the definitive professional tool at the moment, just ahead of nikon.
You must admit sony isn’t bad. The fact is, /p/ and /p/ alone has been a 24/7 sony hate club and there are very clear and obvious signs only a few people are pushing it, and no where else on the internet or real life is unless its a small 4chan leak… and the timing, and one of the people pushing sony hate here, are connected to israel. Very suspicious.

I think the meltdown prone chartfag gearqueer snoyclown fanxirl guy could at least prove she/her point a bit better by posting amazing photos taken with xirs Snoymera. Apparently all snoys take shitty pictures and that is why everychad hates them. I don't think it takes photographs unfortunately.

Cope harder. I'm not the anti sony shill and I've never argued about incredibly gay and worthless ewaste milc garbage. They're all the same trash and the real truth is that they want you arguing about cameras that are all essentially the same. You're just doing the advertising(and ruining /p/) for free by engaging. Imagine wasting your life defending prosumer trash that looks 100x worse than 35mm film.

OP here, I won't buy an A7C (or any Sony, or Canon for that matter) because of the sensor cover glass thickness that would cause color shifts and ugly smearing with the rangefinder lenses that I own. This is an actually relevant technical issue that is beyond brand shitflinging. An A7CR would naturally be a solid choice otherwise.

The fine art world still runs on film for all the tangential reasons artists choose film, not because muh pixels/grain count. I've never seen anyone using sony in the arts except influencer kids still in art school.

They literally cant beat it. Despite the shills and aspergers cases here, a7c bodies aren’t ewaste that are impossible to bring out of the house due to lacking a wide angle pancake that isnt shit (ironically, like L mount). They’re great, well made cameras with great color science and excellent small lenses (ironically half shared with L mount). Sony knocked it out of the park. People are still gladly picking the og a7c over ZRs, s9s, fujis, mft, and r6iiis.

Cover glass thickness affects more than just adapting vintage lenses. Sony probably chose to have it that way to minimize the appearance of dust on the sensor, but the trade-off is that all of their lenses have to be telecentric, and non-telecentric lenses perform poorly on their bodies.
I'm not demanding they optimize their bodies for non-telecentric lenses, just citing this as the reason I won't buy a Sony. If you don't care about adapting anything vintage, manual and/or compact (not just $5000 boomer lenses as you state) then this is obviously irrelevant to you.

For the record (just inb4 some fag comes out to accuse me of brainless Sony hating despite having a legimitate technical excuse), Canon and Fuji (GFX) do the same thing with the thick sensor cover glass, and adapted lens results are often even worse on those. Canon bodies for example tend to exhibit significant color shift on top of the same smearing you get on a Sony.
So to really satisfy me as a customer, this needs to be done by Sigma, Leica, or Nikon. Unfortunately none of the current offerings from those guys come close.

>A sony conspiracy is why nikonfilm sucks!
Or maybe, sony has more material and intellectual resources.
Sony conspiracy theories don’t stop canon from maintaining their #1 spot. Maybe, just maybe, brands other than sony and canon are too small to compete with manufacturing, research, and development giants? The autofocus TECH, not just the algorithms, on the z8 and z9 are worse than the AF on the canon r8. No cross points. The R8 has several hundred cross points. That means a z8 can’t focus on a horizontal or vertical line depending on camera orientation. And they’re #3. And borrow heavily from sony and RED whenever they can, not because of a conspiracy, but because they can’t innovate. They bought fucking RED. Where are the global shutter 16 stop DR cameras? RED had baller camera tech but nikon cant figure out how to use it. They’re just not competent.
Once the fads die everyone under the top two is choosing between mergers and death.

It’s worse than ineptitude. American work culture (employees are a non favored group, management is an artificially elevated group) prevents success as there is always top down hostility. Has been since the 80s. Not just work, but education too. Ask anyone born in the 60s/70s about how education, and then employment changed to become fundamentally hostile to healthy ideals like competition, hierarchy, success, and striving to be right/number one and began actively rewarding bullshitting, emotional appeals, and deception so everyone would win except the people who were already winning more than everyone else just by being smarter.
Americans also have a word, “white trash”, for anyone who doesn’t pop out with a silver spoon and stick to the script. This word is used by their nepobaby boases for anyone who is poor and doesnt want to be. Their country is based on hating its own people and rewards predatory and parasitic soft-power grifts so they will never work together to create something great. The entire american economy is international scams, i mean, the service industry, and defense spending.

i have not seen anything other than canon or sony in professional use for 7 years now. nikon basically stopped existing and was replaced by sony. just stick to canon and sony and ignore the shills here. nikon, fujifilm, panasonic etc are literal fucking garbage. the z8’s autofocus is worse than canons budget oriented pro camera (the eos r8). on a technical level, and as far as its detection and tracking algorithms are concerned. and nikon ditched support for most of f mount and the lenses they do support perform worse than they did on dslrs. use canon to adapt older glass and sony to buy new everything.

That’s moire. Its what happens when bayer cameras take photos of tiny black and white lines. Fuji is lower resolution on everything that isn’t a black and white line. Generally fuji cameras are worse - worse lenses, worse price/performance, worse build quality, MUCH worse autofocus. But they are optimized to take photos of test charts! Basically fuji’s target market is people who dont know how cameras work or use them seriously.

Its a test chart thing all cameras have done since like, 2004. Fuji does the same thing but on different patterns that dont occur on test charts, results in worm shaped artifacts, and turns predominantly blue or red textures into mush.

Used to love the Nikon system on film but they shit the bed going to digital somehow. I don't know how they manage that though, they didn't change the lens mount it's an old lens is still work on it.
That said some of their premium Optics were their telephotos like the 300 F2. Still own mine but I rent it out to film makers on a arri mount.

It's a pro camera user since the '80s, I still don't get the like of Sony's products. Ergonomics and not there. They can't figure out how to make a camera really ergonomic? The lens selection is, at best, questionable. Many gaps that they're finally addressing but it's a bit late as people of migrated to other systems.
Canon has lots of great lenses, but some of them really deserve a bit of ridicule. The 24 to 105 is a good example. It's a great snapshooter lens for lazy people like me you don't want to build a lens catalog again on another system. And my results show. The photos taken with that lens are all quite lackluster kind of boring not particularly sharp Etc. The 24 to 70 is so much better. And the ergonomics are there. It's just that I don't get why they don't update the firmware on the camera to give you some additional features after it comes out. The 7D they did by adding and in camera editing feature. Very handy for people like me who chronically under by the amount of space they need on memory cards for the camera

That was my experience as well. I went all in on Sony and within a week had a pretty good sense that it’d be short-lived. I grabbed the few Zeiss milvus lenses which were fine, but even still, the menu was shit, the layout was stupid, and I had to admit I hated holding the fucking thing. Kept the lenses & use them on my Z7ii now. As an professional industrial designer I’m not even going to touch this fucking discussion further or I’ll be stuck here all week.

>24 to 105 is a good example.
afaik there were some QC issues with the rf 24-105 f/4
And yeah the 24-70 f/2.8 is faster and sharper, but you have to consider that it's almost 2x the price, weights more and you lose quite a bit of reach
For a guy like me that travels around and take pictures as a hobby for fun the 24-105 is more than enough

What I like about the 6D MK2 is a loop the strap around my wrist and then lightly hold the grip with two or three fingers while in casually strolling, because the grip actually has enough bulk on it. I have used Rangefinder or point and shoots cameras like Contax and Leica, and I even borrowed that weird Rollei 35s, and well I found it really nice and light and compact I found its pictures were only so so in spite of having a good lens on it.
My previous experience with the 321 zoo was a 70 to 200 by Zeiss and that was an amazing lens just a bit slow and bulky, and I was expecting the 24 to 105 for the SLR to be the same but it wasn't anywhere close. Too many compromises

I don’t care if you can take A good close up portrait that looks decent at instagram size, eventually, with some effort.

The moire is heavily biased towards magenta, if the sensor/processing had equal color response you would still see false color striping but not so strongly towards magenta.

Canon has backwards compatibility and is the absolute best for studio business that need to replace bodies before the shutters die (studios can easily put more than 300k snaps a year on a shutter), but for non-sports/wildlife field photographers that take longer to kill a body using old lenses defeats the point of upgrading to mirrorless, and the sports/wildlife guys eventually destroy their lenses anyways.
