Sony A7C II vs Sony A7R IV

Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
