Sony a7C II with FE 20-70mm f/4 G Lens

Full-frame quality in a kit that goes everywhere: the compact Sony A7C II paired with the FE 20-70mm F4 G. The A7C II packs a 33MP full-frame sensor and intelligent AI autofocus into a compact body, with 10fps stills and 4K video at up to 60fps. The 20-70mm opens at an ultra-wide 20mm with a 3.5x zoom range and a constant F4 aperture, weighing around 490g. A light, versatile everyday kit, from morning coffee runs to golden-hour hikes.

33MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ XR Processor

The Sony a7C II's advanced imaging system is powered by a 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor, a combination capable of 10-bit 4K imagery at up to 30 fps or a top continuous shooting rate of 10 fps with AF and AE using either the mechanical or electronic shutter. The introduction of the back-illuminated structure to the camera's sensor gives it a higher resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. With an ISO range of 100-51200 that's expandable to ISO 50-204800, the camera boasts low-light performance with minimal noise and wide dynamic range.

AI-Powered Autofocus and Image Stabilisation

The Sony a7C II's AI processing unit brings a host of enhanced capabilities to the camera's autofocus and image stabilisation systems, ensuring smooth handling and clarity no matter the shooting conditions. The camera's 759 phase detection points in stills mode and 495 points in video mode, covering 94% of the image area, are enhanced with AI-powered subject recognition performance and real-time tracking. The AI processor also uses a new autoexposure algorithm, Human Pose Estimation, to prioritise exposure areas for a 20% improvement in overall exposure accuracy. The auto white balance also benefits from the improved AI processor, aiding in difficult lighting conditions. Other autofocus features include focus bracketing in up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, focus accuracy in low light down to EV -4.0, focus breathing compensation, autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking during autofocus.

Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing

Additionally, the AI Processing Unit recognises and tracks subjects when recording video, seamlessly auto-cropping to maintain the subject in a prominent position in the frame and lending ease to otherwise difficult camerawork. This tracking can be custom located within the frame and adjusted for speed and sensitivity, all at the touch of a finger.

Image Stabilisation

Now offering seven stops of shake compensation, the camera's pixel-level 5-axis optical image stabilisation system, which counters five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and video, is algorithmically optimised for precision detection and control down to a single pixel. The AI Processing Unit also improves communication between the body and the lens, providing more stable framing before shooting. This allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted lenses, for critical imaging without encountering blur from camera shake.

Advanced Rendering

For stills-shooters, the a7C II offers a wide range of colour renderings and compressions for optimal image quality and storage management, led by the introduction of the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format. Users also have the choice between Compressed and Lossless Compressed options when shooting raw. The AI Processing Unit also helps to achieve better exposure results in Auto mode with applicable algorithmic adjustments made for skin tone, backlit situations, and white balance. The same Creative Looks presets available in video are also available when shooting stills, allowing additionally for user-defined configurations with eight adjustable parameters. For optimal viewing of stills when tethered to select monitors and televisions, the a7C II now offers a stills-designed Hybrid Log-Gamma mode that delivers accurate dynamic range in 10-bit HEIF format.

Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G Lens (Sony E)

A groundbreaking standard zoom lens for everyday use, the ultra-wide Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G spans a popular and versatile range of focal lengths in a compact and lightweight form. Designed to accommodate new trends in shooting styles popular among vloggers and content creators, this ultra-wide to portrait-length zoom provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and outstanding image quality for all your imaging needs. Offering an expansive field of view to suit selfie, landscape, cityscape, and other wide-angle applications, this lens also offers fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance as well as excellent close-up performance at all focal lengths.

Exceptional G Lens Optical Performance

Designed for demanding visual creators, this ultra-wide zoom lens delivers outstanding image quality, fast autofocus performance, and advanced movie-making functionality without compromise. Built for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the constant f/4 aperture maintains consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for both still photography and video production. The sophisticated optical design combines three ED elements, two AA elements, one ED aspherical element, and one standard aspherical element to effectively minimise chromatic and spherical aberrations while producing exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness and impressive colour fidelity. A rounded 9-blade aperture also creates smooth and natural-looking bokeh for enhanced subject separation.

Advanced Autofocus and Video Features

The FE 20-70mm f/4 G lens features two XD linear motors that provide smooth, silent, and highly precise autofocus performance for both photo and video applications. Improved subject tracking ensures reliable focus accuracy, while the internal focusing system maintains the overall lens length during operation and prevents rotation of the front element, making it ideal for use with circular polarisers and variable ND filters. The updated optical design significantly reduces focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift during zooming to deliver more stable and professional cinematic footage. Additional video-focused controls include an aperture ring with click On/Off functionality, an iris lock switch, active mode image stabilisation support, and micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure transitions while filming.

Compact, Durable, and Built for Everyday Shooting

Compact and lightweight, this highly versatile ultra-wide standard zoom provides an expansive field of view while remaining comfortable for everyday handheld shooting. Its hybrid construction combines metal and plastic components to maximise durability while maintaining a lightweight design suitable for travel and extended use. A fluorine coating on the front lens element repels water, dust, fingerprints, and other contaminants for easier maintenance, while the dust- and moisture-resistant construction with a sealed lens mount provides dependable performance in challenging weather conditions. Additional handling features include two programmable focus hold buttons, a focus mode switch, and an impressive minimum focusing distance of just 9.8 inches for excellent close-up shooting performance across the zoom range.
