Sony A7C R review: The ultimate travel camera?

If you're after a small, interchangeable-lens camera to carry around day-to-day and take on your travels, the A7C R is a compelling, albeit pricey choice. Identical in every way to the A7C II save for its higher-resolution 61MP sensor, the A7C R can handle almost any photography scenario with ease, while its video spec is very respectable. Having those extra pixels to play with will appeal to landscape photographers, and gives you plenty of scope to crop into pictures, adding versatility to your lens of choice. Such a small form-factor compromises handling when compared to an SLR-style mirrorless camera like the A7R V; there's no AF joystick, while the viewfinder is small and fiddly. However, as a travel camera, the A7C R might well be the most capable snapper available.

Best current Sony Alpha sensor in a compact body; Fantastic subject-tracking autofocus performance; Decent battery life

Much pricier than the A7C II; Awkward viewfinder; Not designed for use with large lenses

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

Sony a7CR review: high resolution in a small package

The Sony a7CR features the same best-in-class high-resolution full-frame image quality and industry-leading autofocus performance as the gold award-winning a7R V in a smaller, lighter, more affordable package. The EVF could be better and an AF joystick would be nice, but build quality and battery life impress, making this a great choice for landscape and outdoor adventure shooters.

Those wanting the highest level of Raw detail from a full-frame camera in a small package. Landscape and adventure photographers. Studio photographers working tethered.;

Those who appreciate a decently large, high-resolution EVF. Filmmakers requiring the best 4K video performance.;

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue
