    A very capable performer at a reasonable price!

    Let's be honest. If you are considering the Sony A7 III in 2023, you are not buying it because it represents leading edge technology. Then why buy it (especially since I currently own a Sony A7R II and a Sony A7R IVa)? The answer is simple - I was looking for a replacement for the Sony A7R II. The A7R II is a good system but the battery that it uses is really bad - compared to the battery found in the A7 III and higher Sony cameras, it offers less than half the shots per battery. Further, the features offered by the A7 III, while not cutting edge, are still more than adequate for what I was looking for - a travel camera. With the drop in price due a Best Buy sale and the fact that many of the A7 III accessories such as the battery grip have dropped greatly in price have made this camera an attractive purchase. I have already used it and I am pleased with its results. So, if you are looking for a reasonably priced, high quality camera that gives you access to the Sony, Tamron, and Sigma lenses (which are far larger than those found for Fujifilm, Canon mirrorless, and Nikon mirrorless), then this camera offers a very compelling value proposition.

    I really like this camera, I was expecting a little difference from my canon camera that I am currently using. But when I got It and started using It, I was really surprised with the built quality, versatility and ease of use. I saw a few reviews about complex menu system, But when I started using this product I found that It is not so super complicated. One thing I would suggest is to reduce compatible lens price, Lenses are so expensive for amateur photographers like me.

    I've been using Sony Cybershots for many years and just upgraded to the a7iii. And what a jump that was. The a7iii menu system is super dense and can seem overwhelming at first, but the level of condigurability is typical for Sony. The autofocus is crazy fast, and just recently Sony released animal-eye detection in a firmware update, so now taking perfect photos of your cats and dogs is so much easier. In addition, with that update, the long elusive time lapse function has returned to the a series. The a7iii is a powerful tool in a small mirrorless design. It's relatively small compared to dslrs, so much so that others have said it's too small to grip. But it's perfect for me, because I've got small hands! All in all, I'm so happy with this upgrade.

    Improved Auto Focus over the M2

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this as an upgrade to the A7 ii and is a definite improvement. Bigger battery means much more use between charges. Much better autofocusing. Two memory slots although I only use one of them so far. The M3 is a tad heavier but still feels nice in the hands. I also shoot stars at night and find that the M3 is easier to manually focus on stars -- many more stars are visible in the monitor than were seen with the M2. Maybe due to a better sensor? Maybe due to a better monitor? Focus Peaking, on both the M2 and M3, is a great feature that I used a lot when in manual focus mode.

    This is a great camera that’s easy to use. Takes high quality photos and great low light videos. I ended up getting this one because after 3 years my a7s2 had a malfunction with the sd card slot and the insurance had run out by then. Hopefully this one last a lot longer because without insurance these Sony Cameras are expensive to fix and Best Buy won’t allow you to extend your warranty after it’s up.

    This was an upgrade for me from the SonyA7ii, which I had used for several years, so I am very familiar with the Sony menu, etc. I am mainly a stills shooter with only some video. The improvements over the A7ii, such as the vastly improved AF, faster fps rate, touch screen & battery life are great. I already had Sony full-frame lenses to use that I love. So far, my experience with the A7iii has been very enjoyable. Highly recommend! Great service with my purchase at Best Buy,

    I love this camera. I love it for photos and video. I love it for everything it does. 2 SD card slots with 1 slot being SII speeds which is amazing. It does beautiful photos and beautful video and I haven't had the first problem. This camera is super worth it. I was going to get a sony a6500 but for the price this camera is worth stepping up. It's not just a basic model it's fantastic and fully professional grade. If someone is looking for their first camera and can spend some money or a seasoned pro wanting another camera body then GET THIS! .....unless you want the more expensive version that does 42MP files. I'm happy with it and I love it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    Have been wanting a full frame mirrorless camera for a while. Wanting a bit lighter system than the pro Nikons that I have been using for years. After doing tons of research I went with Sony and have been very pleased with the performance of the camera so far. The menu system is a beast and still figuring it out. Once that is mastered and the camera is set up to my liking I think it will be great. I love the feel of the camera in my hand and it has produced some beautiful images. Super responsive and tack sharp photos. Very pleased so far and excited to get more lenses!

    I've been using my camera for 2 months now, and even took it on my trip to Hawaii. This full frame camera is packed with power (I love the battery life--one pack for the day) and the body is strong enough to withstand my travel in the rainforests of Hawaii. Photo quality is beautiful...and when it comes to low light, this camera works so well. I basically have the power of the A7Riii but for a cheaper price and less megapixels.
