This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sony is once again trickling down high-end camera features to newer lower-cost models while simultaneously making some confounding design decisions.
The 33-megapixel A7C II looks identical to the 61-megapixel A7C R, save for the small logo differences and the fact that the A7C R includes an add-on handgrip at no additional charge.
They share the same processor, the same weight and dimensions, and they each inherit the dedicated AI processing unit of the Sony A7R V camera that gives it the best subject-tracking autofocus system around.
I tried out some heavy lenses on both the A7C R and the A6700, and even though the latter is an APS-C camera with a slightly smaller footprint, its more contoured grip felt better in the hand — even under the load of Sony’s hefty FE 50mm f/1.2 GM lens.
The A7C R’s ergonomics become better than the A6700’s once you attach its included add-on grip, as it gives you a solid resting place for your pinky finger, but then, you’re back to playing the accessories game to correct Sony’s design faults.
I know from my hands-on time that the new A7C twins are more than capable of being used in a pro work environment like weddings, but not having those vital instant backups sadly makes either second-gen A7C a nonstarter.
