Great Sharp photos - amazing focus on video
I hesitated about this camera for some time, I previous had the sony a7ii but was not completely satisfied with quality of the videos and photos. I read about the camera intensively and finally decided to take the plunge and I can say that I am 100% happy. The focus on the videos is amazing!

It is a great camera with such horrible screen. The touch screen is hard to use with terrible translation. The main point I want to say is this expensive camera doesn't give you a battery charger, if I use cable to charge, it takes at least 5 hours, when I got my products I don't have any battery at...

Two things this camera doesn't do compared to Canon's: 1) a front facing articulating swivel screen, and the workaround for this is basically pairing your smartphone as and when required (or modifying your screen hinges), and 2) feature a slick touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom and easy to use menu...

Electrical faults after 14 months
I've used this camera for 16 months now. The first 14 of those were fantastic and the camera was everything I needed for photography and videography. However, after 14 months of use the sensor has started to violently and loudly shake making videography impossible as well as most slow shutter speeds...

The Sony Alpha A7 III might not have the highest resolution, fastest shooting speed or best video quality. But by borrowing features from the flagship A9 and A7R III, it's uniformly excellent at everything.
Pros:
- Stellar low-light/high ISO capability
- Much-improved handling
- Fast 10 fps shooting
- Excellent autofocus
- Sharpest 4K video of any Sony full-frame camera
- Double the battery life of the last model
Cons:
- EVF and viewfinder not quite as good as rivals
- Two SD card slots but only one is high-speed UHS-II
- Not as weather-resistant as the Fujifilm's X-H1
- No 10-bit video output like Panasonic's GH5s

Sony A7 III Review
The Sony Alpha A7 III is a feature packed and highly versatile body that sets a new benchmark for "entry-level" full-frame cameras. At $1,999, it's not exactly cheap, but for serious enthusiasts and even professional photographers, the A7 III offers a rich feature set at a reasonable price point.

Sony A7 III
It's hard to believe that Sony's A7-series has been in existence for well over four years now. It feels like only yesterday the manufacturer presented us with the original A7 and A7R, yet here we're looking at the third release of its most basic full-frame mirrorless camera, which advances in a...
Pros:
- Excellent value for money
- Improved battery stamina
- Fast and responsive autofocus system
- Revised button layout for intuitive control
Cons:
- AF point illumination could be improved
- Convoluted menu system
- Thin plastic port covers aren't weather-sealed
- Handles poorly with large gloves in cold climates

Sony Alpha7 III digital camera (review)
The Sony Alpha7 III digital camera is an amazing device, managing to stuff a full frame sensor into a remarkably compact body. Capturing detail in a bright object (such as a fifty carat pink diamond) against a black background called for some exposure compensation.
Pros:
- Fast accurate photography
- superb sensor
- excellent exposure tuning
Cons:
- Display screen not touch sensitive, few trick modes (eg
- time lapse, stop motion), slow battery charge

Sony A7 Mark III Mirrorless Camera with 28-70mm Lens ILCE-7M328-70SL review
As it was launched in February 2018, the Sony A7 III is getting on a bit but it remains an excellent all-rounder. Its high-quality 24Mp full-frame sensor delivers superb images in a wide range of conditions and its viewfinder and screen provide a good preview so you know what you're going to get...
Pros:
- Good-quality 24Mp full-frame sensor
- Excellent autofocus system
- Attractively priced in the full-frame market
Cons:
- Minimal use of the screen's touch-sensitivity
- Tilting rather than vari-angle screen
- Complex menu

Put simply, the Sony a7 III is a new benchmark for full frame cameras due to its compelling combination of value and capability – and the fact that this series of cameras has come so far in less than five years is impressive in its own right.
Pros:
- Generalist photographers
- wedding
- event and action shooters and those that need high quality video
Cons:
- Those that need more resolution for detailed scenes or large prints
- those that need ultimate build quality for harsh shooting conditions
