Hello everyone, I live in China.  I wish to purchase an ILCE-7C that offers the English language option, but as you know the cameras sold here do not.  I am considering importing from Germany via the amazon site here.  That leaves me with two questions- do the German market cameras offer the English language option; and if amazon says it is from Germany, do u think that means it is a 'Made for the German Market' camera?

Any comments appreciated.

It depends on the seller. If it‘s Amazon or an official Sony dealer the camera will most likely be manufactured for the European market.

Just scored an all-black α7C through a supposedly authorized dealer here, Hong Kong stock.  English.  So, never give up boys!  Beast of a camera, wow, makes my Leica DLux Typ-109 look so old,,,  haha,,,  hi-tech marches on, in fact I'm a bit intimidated by that part of it,,,,  but for a simple guy like me the aesthetic, which attracts me the most is simply.....   Awesome!  It's like a morph between α7IV and α6xxx body, but closer to a 7, which it is.  Bad-azz piece of technology. Just gorgeous!

Gratz on your purchase! As a long time APS-C user, the A7C got me tempted to switch to fullframe. I absolutely love the small 'rangefinder-style' form factor. What I really don't understand though is why Sony chose to cripple the A7C when it comes to ergonomics and customizability compared to the A6#00-cameras. If you compare it to the A6600 for example, the APS-C camera has 4 more customizable buttons (but lacks the exposure compensation dial), has a bigger viewfinder and a much deeper grip. Hope they fix these things with the A7CII.

Well,, they have to leave room for upgrade, haha.  I don't care about the Custom buttons, but would like a deeper grip and larger viewfinder.  Quibbling though, this is a marvelous piece of tech (imo).
