The Sony A7C is a good choice for leisure photography and travelling: compact and lightweight, yet robust and sealed against splash water. It also scores points with its sensor-shift image stabiliser, good battery and powerful AF system. The only thing not everyone will like is the small viewfinder image. The image sensor delivers balanced image quality - even at higher sensitivity settings.
