Sony Alpha A7S III review: The low-light video champ

Read why the third-gen A7S full-frame stills and video camera is so impressive. For consumer videographers it's almost unrivalled.

Great low-light performance ; Strong video capabilities ; Lots of flexibility offered by ports ; Proper flip-out screen ; Impressive autofocus and tracking ; Great image quality

It's expensive ; Quite heavy with a decent lens ; Menu button remains unusually placed ; 12MP resolution may limit some photographers

This may just be Sony's most impressive video-centric camera to date (well, ignoring the ultra-pricey Alpha A1). By using the right sensor, processing power and heat dissipation, Sony offers full-frame recording at staggering resolutions and quality,...

Sony a7S III Review

12MP full-frame sensor ; 4K recording at 10-bit quality ; 120fps slow motion at 4K ; Face and eye detection autofocus ; Subject tracking at 10fps ; High sensitivity for low light ; 5-axis IBIS ; Dust and splash protection

CFExpress cards required for best quality slow-motion video ; Video autofocus doesn't work SLR lens adapters

The Sony a7S III has one of the best 4K video feature sets you'll find in a full-frame mirrorless camera, including 120fps capture for slow-motion playback.
