Sony A7 III Review | Trusted Reviews

 

A simply excellent full-frame camera at the price

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 A7 III

 

A simply excellent full-frame camera at the price. Sony A7 III.

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

Simply put, the Sony A7 III is the finest example of the most affordable full-frame camera on the market. It’s a sensational camera for the money and compliments the ever-evolving Sony A7-series quite brilliantly.

Sony Alpha A7 III review

 

No longer the poor relation

693-point AF system ; 10fps burst shooting ; Uncropped 4K video ; 15-stop dynamic range ; 5-axis image stabilization ; Compact and durable body

Limited touchscreen control ; Only one SD slot supports UHS-II cards

When you look at the camera you get for your money, it's hard not to be impressed by the Sony Alpha A7 III. With a wealth of advanced features, the A7 III is likely to appeal to many photographers looking for a well-rounded and advanced full-frame...

Sony Alpha A7 Mark III (ILCE-7M3) Expert Review

 

Read our full verdict on the new Sony Alpha A7 Mark III - Sony's latest full-frame mirrorless camera, with a 24mp BSI CMOS sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, and 4K video recording.

Announcing the Sony Alpha A7 Mark III - Sony had the clever idea of telling everyone, that this was "the b a s i c model" in the Sony Alpha range, and pretty much everyone published this, because it was quite frankly a little bit ridiculous. The Sony...

Sony A7 III review: A peerless full-frame mirrorless camera

 

Sony's 24.2-megapixel A7 III is a near-perfect all-around mirrorless camera. You can fire bursts at 10 fps, capture sharp images with excellent dynamic range day or night, and autofocus accurately on fast-moving subjects or portraits. It also handles...

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

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.
