Sony A7R III review: Giving the Nikon D850 a run for its money

In terms of all-round competence, the Sony A7R III goes head-to-head with the Nikon D850 as the best full-frame camera money can buy. Indeed, the Pocket-lint team, alongside a panel of judges and the public voted it the best camera of 2018 in the Pocket-lint Gadget Awards.
Pros:
  • Sharp images with plenty of detail and exceptional dynamic range
  • Much improved new battery with 650-single-shot-life
  • Lovely electronic viewfinder
  • Very respectable high-speed performance
  • Customisable 'My Menu' for direct access to most used controls
Cons:
  • Still takes a while to work your way around the camera
  • LCD touchscreen lacks some functionality
  • Some buttons/dials are not the easiest to control
  • Still uncomfortable to hold with larger lenses

A Fantastic Full-Frame Camera

I found the Sony A7Riii the best mirrorless full frame camera on the market today. I did extensive research on the Nikon and Canon offerings in this class and they both fell short of the Sony. The 42mb sensor is amazing - if you need that kind of resolution.
Pros:
  • Compact and light body while feeling sturdy and substantial in the hands
Cons:
  • Convoluted menu system
  • no intervalometer
  • lenses are more expenses than Sony's competitors

Glad I made the switch!

As a professional photographer for 40 years I depend on my equipment to perform, switching from a Nikon D850 to the A7RIII was a big move! After just 1 week I'm already impressed and racing ahead with the features.

First Impressions

I opted for the a7Riii over the a7iii after evaluating both-mainly for the 42mp sensor. The grip could be bigger with more space for fingers. I also bought the battery grip which resolves that issue. I bought three Sony lenses at the same time and will comment on those as I gain more experience.
