Sony A1c: A Mini Pro Mirrorless

With the A7CR's slow sensor readout making silent shooting almost impossible and the physical shutter cutting the bokeh in half in bright conditions, I would love to see Sony's 50mp stacked sensor in a body like this. If they were to do this, I would also love to see a grip closer to the one used on the A9III, but otherwise keeping the general shape of the A7C range. It would cost more, but Sony could still easily position it away from the Sony A1II, so it doesn't affect those sales.

Another thing that I would change would be the grip extension. The GR-X1 (for the A7CR) is great, but it could be smaller, while providing a more ergonomic grip and including an Arca Swiss plate on the bottom. Here is the spec I would give an A1C:

​​

  • A7CR body, but...

  • Deeper, wider & more contoured grip

  • Removable 6m-dot 0.85x EVF (bigger bump)

  • 50mp stacked sensor (from A1)

  • No physical shutter (electronic shutter only).

  • 15fps compressed burst (10fps lossless)

  • 75 shot buffer

  • 1/16,000th max shutter speed

  • 1 CF-Express A card slot +

  • Internal memory for redundancy (128GB?)

  • Pro AF system

  • New Tilt/Flip screen (from A7RV / A1II)

  • 4k 60fps 10-bit open gate (no crop)

  • Improved grip extension (flared + ARCA Swiss)

  • Front custom button (C5)

  • Optional thumb grip (doesn't use hot shoe)
