- Product Name: Alpha 7 III Mirrorless [Video] Camera with FE 28-70 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens
- Color: Black
- Product Set: w/ 28-70mm Lens
- Camera Model Family: Sony a7 III
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still images: 1/8000 to 30 sec, Bulb; Movies: 1/8000 to 1/4 (1/3 steps); up to 1/60 in AUTO mode (up to 1/30 in Auto slow shutter mode) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/36 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)

Product Manuals
Q: Does this camera support wireless image transfer?
A: Yes, the built-in Wi-Fi allows you to wirelessly stream still images and movies to a compatible smartphone, PC or TV.
Q: What is the resolution of the camera sensor?
A: This camera uses a 24.2MP Exmor R full-frame CMOS sensor.
Q: Does this camera have a touchscreen?
A: Yes, the camera has a 2.95" TFT touch-screen monitor.
Q: Can I connect this camera to my TV to view images?
A: Yes, you can easily connect the camera to an HDTV for immediate movie playback using an HDMI cable (sold separately).
Q: How many memory card slots does the camera have?
A: The camera has two media card slots.
Q: What is the maximum shutter speed of the Sony camera?
A: The maximum shutter speed for still images is 1/8000 of a second.
Q: Does the a7-iii accept lenses that currenly fit my Sony a6000?
A: yes don't worry they work better in almost every way on the A7iii than on the a6000 . Faster autofocus, way way better photos in low light when using high ISO settings and/or slow shutter speeds, especially with the IBIS in-camera stabilizer (helps stabilize too nuch coffee shaky hand shots with ANY lens you put on). The A7iii will automatically go into 'APS-C' mode (unless you choose to disable that in settings) which is just a fancy way of saying the camera will digitally zoom to 1.5x so that a smaller portion of the sensor gets used (centered area, having same 24mm width x 16mm height as the a6000). Sometimes you might want to disable the APS-C mode to acheive different perspectives, especially with ultra wide lenses like the 10-18. In any case if you are adding a A7iii to your a6000 system I would bet you will be very happy with the results!
Q: Does this come with a memory card?
A: No, you’ll need to buy memory cards (it has 2 slots available) separately. If you’re going to be shooting video primarily, be sure to get fast enough cards.

The Camera That Made Me Fall in Love With Photogra
I’ve owned everything from point-and-shoots to DSLR setups over the years, but nothing has impacted my photography the way the Sony a7III has. I bought it at Best Buy a few months ago after debating between a few mirrorless options, and I can honestly say this camera has reignited my creativity. The image quality is incredible, even straight out of camera. Dynamic range, low-light performance, and sharpness all live up to the hype. I mostly shoot portraits, live music, and family events — and the eye autofocus alone has saved me from missing so many once-in-a-lifetime shots. It just works. What really surprised me, though, is how intuitive the a7III feels. I’m not a full-time professional, but this camera makes me feel like one. It doesn’t get in the way — it helps me tell better stories. The battery life is solid, dual card slots give peace of mind, and paired with a fast prime, this thing is a powerhouse. I’ve since taken it on vacations, used it for client work, and captured some of my favorite personal photos ever. It’s more than a tool — it’s something I now bring with me everywhere. If you’re on the fence about upgrading to a full-frame mirrorless system, this is the one. It’s not the newest kid on the block anymore, but it’s still one of the smartest investments I’ve made. And yes, if this review wins the $400 gift card, I already know it’s going toward a new lens. Because with the a7III, you want to shoot more. And that says everything.

Sony a7 III
The Sony a7 III is hands down one of the best cameras out there. What makes it even more special for me is that it’s my very first camera. and despite being packed with professional features, it’s beginner-friendly too. The image quality is outstanding, the autofocus is fast and reliable, and the low-light performance is impressive. It’s lightweight for a full-frame camera, and the menu system, while it takes a little getting used to, offers tons of customization once you get the hang of it.
