A7CII and A7CR - Card Slot Options

castagiantshadow — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 10:54:59 GMT

I lwould like to see the next A7C range with electrical connectors on the bottom of the camera that can support a second memory card slot in the handgrip, giving users the option of a small, single card slot option, as well as an option of a larger, professional two-card slot option.

What do people think?

If you want a A7CII/A7CR with double card slot and bigger grip, you want a A7iv/A7Rv

I've already got an A7 RIV, but I cannot make it smaller.

The reason for my original post is to have a small everyday carry camera that I can then build into a more featured professional version.

I had understood, but actually you have to chose before to buy.

Sony's camera body are the smallest of the market for almost every category. Legacy A7 was really small, and professionals doesn't like, so in the year Sony has dedicated A7# to professional with biggher body, and smallest (A7C and aps-c) for consumer.

At the moment Sony's cameras are still the smallest.

You can't fit A7v hardware and mechanical skills that made it "professional" in a A7C body.

As personal opinion (I had both A7iv and A7c at the same time) when you mount a lens on the body the advatage of smallest size of A7c are lost. Whit similar lens mounted also canon's camera (probably the biggest) have the same size.

So we have to select the camera looking at the features, not the millimeters
