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...
Sony a7 III Review
The Sony a7 III is an entry-level full-frame camera that goes well beyond the basics in features, with excellent image quality, 10fps subject tracking, and 4K video capture. It didn't take long for Sony to reuse the body design it introduced with last year's high-resolution, pro-grade a7R III in an entry-level model. But despite a friendly (for full-frame) price, the a7 III ($1,999.99, body only) is anything but entry-level when it comes to its feature set. Its BSI CMOS sensor excels in all types of light, and offers incredible dynamic range. It can shoot at 10fps, with an autofocus system that covers almost the entirety of the image sensor. And it has serious video chops too, recording smooth, sharp footage at 4K, and slow-motion at 1080p. It run circles around competing models in this price range, and is our Editors' Choice for entry-level full-frame shoppers. Design The a7 III feels a lot like the a7 II and a7R III in the hand. It measures 3.9 by 5.0 by 2.5 inches (HWD) without a lens, and weighs about 1.4 pounds. Its grip and body design are the same as you get with the a7R III. I find it quite comfortable to hold, even with a larger zoom like th...- 24MP full-frame BSI sensor

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.
- 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
- 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...- Excellent value for money
- Improved battery stamina
- Fast and responsive autofocus system
- Revised button layout for intuitive control
- 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.- Fast accurate photography
- superb sensor
- excellent exposure tuning
- Display screen not touch sensitive, few trick modes (eg
- time lapse, stop motion), slow battery charge
