I shot Nikon for 8 years... 8 YEARS! from d3200 to d7100, to d750 all the way up the d810... Every upgrade gave me something slightly better but overall it was still really about the same camera. Better ISO, more megapixels, and so on, But the way I shot never really changed. I could produce amazing results on either one of the nikons without ever really feeling like the camera was any better. The auto focus, no matter how much hype there was with every upgrade, frankly still felt like I still had to do all the work. Tracking, framing, focus recompose, hold the camera steady/"properly", or get a OS lens, shaky hands? sorry shoot higher shutter speeds. ALL on me as if Auto focus was somehow a required skill for photographers... But this...this is a whole new world. would you ever shoot sports with say...a 85mm prime on nikon or canon? probably not. But on the R3, sony says "here shoot what you want, how you want, when you want, and hey here's 42 megapixles at 10fps for the blank of it, oh and only $3200" WHAT?! To get that kind of performance on nikon or canon you would have to spend $6000 dollars, and you STILL dont get a live image preview, you still dont get a true silent shutter, and you STILL dont get a fully customizable button layout. AND I MEAN FULLY custom. Like i can set individual buttons to focus areas with different shutter, iso , and aperture combos. YEAH. Sony litterally said "DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT WITH THIS" its insane. Oh yeah and 5 axis image stabilization makes it so irrelevant stuff like camera holding etiquette can jump off a bridge. Ive shot portraits one handed with the camera parrallel to my body, WHILE holding the camera BY THE LENS! DO WHAT YOU WANT! Best camera on the market for sure.

This has been my dream camera for almost 2 years. I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy it. The autofocus feature that finds faces... seriously in and of itself makes the camera worth the purchase. It does extremely well in low light. Its relatively easy to use. The video quality is super, as well. Also, I love that this camera has some weight to it for being so small. I am very happy with this purchase.

It is the best camera I have used, I love its weight, especially its fast focus, color management and ease of use, it is magnificent and super simple, it adapts very well to sigma lenses and handles the lens very well. use of energy, it is a magnificent camera for semi and professional use.

Composition can make or break a great photo. With the A7R3, if you get the composition wrong, the ability to crop maintaining incredible detail is amazing to get that just right composition. The eye auto focus is amazingly fast and the 10 fps shooting is incredible. I recommend getting the UHS-II card for this camera. Keep in mind that only one slot is UHS-II and the other UHS-I. It would have been nice to have both at UHS-II. It would have been nice to have the Sony UHS-II reader as a companion to this camera included instead of separate purchase but that has nothing to do with the camera. As far as the camera, the battery life is nearly all day for the hobbyist but I recommend carry of a second battery. With the prior generation, I had to carry 4 batteries. This is a huge plus on great battery life. I like the dual slots. A pro camera to never miss a shot as I have two SD cards in the camera and the 2nd SD Card always serves as a backup to the 1st. With the great ISO and 5-axis stabilization, I can finally take evening shots without a tripod and really capture the moment.

I purchased the A7Riii to join my stable alongside my A7iii. I switched my main system from Olympus M4/3 to Sony Full Frame in early 2020 as I was looking for better low light performance without compromising too much on portability and weight. I was delighted with the A7iii but also wanted enhanced Image Quality for my landscape work (and the ability to crop in more than a 24MP sensor allows). So far I’ve been delighted with the R - the noise is still very manageable even at high ISO, and the sensor resolution is awesome! I can also share accessories across the 2 bodies.

I know that there are many other cameras out there even better than this one. However, for less than $3k, it is one of the best. The resolution of its photos is fantastic and paired with Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, you have an excellent option to every moment. Unfortunately, you cannot have a real idea of what I'm talking about because I can just upload pictures with up 5MB, by the way. The raw file of this camera has about 85mb each. So don't forget to grab your LaCie 8TB RAID to keep your photos safe. LOL!

Just an amazing camera. Upgraded to the A7iiiR and I haven’t regretted it. 2200 is a lot to drop on just the body, but the 40+ megapixel sensor captures stunning detail. I attached photos and they all were taken with just a basic 50mm. I couldn’t recommend this camera more.

I got the first A7r when it first came out, and I thought the quality couldn't get any better. After upgrading, I was stunned by the clear detail and quality of the image. To be fair, I'm just a hobbyist, but sometime it really make me think if I should go semi pro with this camera :)

Priced perfect to transition from DSLR to mirrorless camera body. Paired with Sony VG-C3EM Vertical Battery Grip, weighs what it should for balanced weight using pro-level glass to capture images. Whether native Sony glass or using an adapter like Sigma MC-11 as the case is for my use of Canon glass, the small size of the camera body is too small for average to large hands if used by itself. Menu navigation learning curve is best managed with online videos/in-person tutorials vs relying on manual. Resolution quality delivers beyond expectations for images of people, products and places. LCD and viewfinder makes composition effortless and ideal when shooting tethered from camera to computer. Great camera for beginners to pro.

The menus are fairly complex and some of the options could be more clearly named, but the camera takes pretty incredible photos. The screen is bright even in direct sunlight, and it is an incredible camera for underwater photography when paired with a housing.

If you buy this camera you already know about the crazy stuff it can do, but man is it sweet. A lot of money sure but you won’t even think about it because you’ll be busy loving the photos it takes!

This has to be one of the best cameras around. The images are beautiful. The menu system has a learning curve but if you shoot with it daily it will become second nature like any other camera. You can not go wrong with this choice.

Purchased this camera at the end of May. Such an epic camera! Love the colors it produces and the mega-pixels on this camera is crazy high. A small learning curve as I am switching from another brand but fairly easy to learn if you have some prior knowledge about photography. Highly recommend!

My favorite camera of all time. The images are sharp and professional level. I take this with me everywhere. I don'tB regret spending the money I spent on this at all.

Great Camera! I Highly recommend if you are a product/portrait/landscape shooter and want that 4k video feature.

This camera will make your shots look professional. Regardless if you know your way around cameras or have no clue about them. Point and shoot and you will get everything you want.

It’s best of the best, The quality of the picture it’s awesome, the colors, the videos 4k , this is the camera of the all photographers

Nice camera, though I think a bit pricey for its age. I really wanted to trade this in to get a open box A7RIV but the %15 restocking fee is really stupid and will be my last camera purchase from bestbuy.

So far I’ve haven’t had 1 single complaint about this camera. It’s the best camera I’ve ever owned. Hands down by far the best camera out.

A total game changer moving from Canon 5D IV to this camera. So far, so good . Love the images captured by this camera.
