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.

I really want an updated camera. I have an original Canon digital rebel with a bunch of lenses, so I can just get a new body and use my existing stuff. Thing is, I'd love to go full frame, but that's expensive. Plus to be honest phone camera is always on me and so damned convenient.
