Sony a7 III vs Sony a7C

The Sony a7 III and the Sony a7C side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Sony a7C if you want a newer model (2020 against 2018), which usually means better autofocus and video and a lighter body (509 g against 650 g). On these specs the Sony a7 III has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it.
