- 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

Until now, Sony has been the only mirrorless camera manufacturer to offer cameras with ‘full-frame' sensors; but that's about to change. On 23 August Nikon will unveil its first mirrorless camera, which will have a full-frame sensor and a new lens mount.

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

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

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
The Sony A7 III is a new "entry-level" 35mm full-frame compact system camera which, as you'll discover in our review, is far from being entry-level, despite being the cheapest model in the Sony full-frame line-up.
