Far beyond what you pay for
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an ex-Nikon full-frame shooter (D810) who switched to Sony when the A7Riii came out. I couldn't be happier with the RIII, but needed a backup so bought the A7iii when it came out, thinking it will play second fiddle. Was I wrong! A7iii is the little brother who outruns the older brother a little too often. If you want to see where the A7Riii ranks amongst other full frames, do some research. You will find most experts put it above the venerable 5DMk4 and tied with the D850. Well, in many ways, the a7iii beats the a7riii. Focus coverage is better. If you like shooting wildlife or sports, the a7iii's focusing system is more closely related to the "biggest brother" a9, than the a7riii, and it's the one you want. a7riii has amazing iso performance and dynamic range and blows its Canon counterparts out of the water, well the a7iii is better in this department too. File management with a7riii 43mp file (80mb uncompressed RAW) can be difficult, and the 24mp on the a7iii hits the sweet spot for most photographers. It matches the a7riii's great 10fps burst rate, which according to most reviews is double to triple what Canon's and Nikon's new full-frame mirrorless can do in real world. Any camera deserving of the "Pro" label requires dual memory slots. Hard drives go bad, solid state drives go bad, xqd cards go bad, and yes, sd cards go bad. I have been using digital cameras now for about 18 year, and I have had card failures about 6 times. Some may say that doesn't seem frequent enough to be worrying about it. Imagine saying that to your grandparents, who asked you to shoot their 50th anniversary, and that's when the card error happens.. worse yet, imagine being responsible for someone's wedding pictures. Well, unlike it's Canon and Nikon mirrorless counterparts, the a7iii has you covered in this department too, so you can have instant backups of all your pictures. So, what's the catch? Well, there is no perfect camera, and this one is no exception. The LCD screen on the a7riii is nothing to write home about, and the a7iii has it worse. The viewfinder on the a7riii is amazing, while on the a7iii, it's kind of okay. Unlike its Canon counterpart, its LCD screen does flip towards the front of the camera (only tilts up and down), so if you are looking for a camera for vlogging, look at Canon. Bottom line, the shortcomings of this camera are not related to the quality of pictures that you take with this camera. A so, so, LCD screen will not impact what people will see as your pictures.

All around a great camera!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from Nikon to Sony, and it was the best decision ever. The camera has great dynamic range and excellent colors. The camera is not as heavy as other DSLR's I've used in the past. The only issue is the menu system is very cluttered and not user friendly, but it gives you the option to customize the entire camera body as you wish.

A timeless camera
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am really considering to purchase another body, its an all rounder camera even in 2023. I bought mine in 2019 and until now it's the most used camera among all other camers I own. Extremely good performance in low light, great dynamic range, fantastic auto focus system etc. If you are on a budget and considering to spend less, get this camera. You'll never regret.

Best for photos! My main travel camera.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's my main camera for travel photography and I feel it's perfect in every way. I love that for an entry-level pro camera it's pretty small and light. I will admit I am spoiled by the Sony a6600's amazing live real-time autofocus tracking in which the a7 III doesn't have, but surely they will implement it in the newer a7 IV. For those shopping for cameras I would say the a6600 is the better camera for video and the a7 III is better for photos (I have both).

$1299 is giveway of a phenomenal camera.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought this for $1299.00 on sale. Wow. Picking up today at Best Buy. I was a 35mm film freak for many years, travelled the world with my Minolta SRT303. I have an A6000 that love, but have wanted to buy the A7iii for years. Even today, the A7iii is phenomenal and the selection of lenses is outstanding. Looking forward! Hoping they don't screw up delivery. I'll update again after I get to play with it.
