It's good, I bought the open-box item, but looks like new. Still a great camera even in 2022, although the model is old.

Capturing Brilliance in Compact Frames

I recently had the pleasure of using the Sony Alpha 7R III, and I must say it's a powerhouse that perfectly marries cutting-edge technology with compact design. As a passionate photographer, I found its performance to be nothing short of exceptional, particularly in terms of space efficiency without compromising on image quality.
Compact Marvel:
The first thing that struck me about the Alpha 7R III is its portability. Sony has managed to pack an impressive array of features into a remarkably compact body. The camera's ergonomic design makes it a joy to handle, whether you're shooting landscapes, portraits, or anything in between. This is especially noteworthy when compared to bulkier alternatives in its class.
Image Quality Beyond Expectations:
What truly sets the Alpha 7R III apart is its ability to capture stunning images with exceptional detail and clarity. The 42.4-megapixel full-frame sensor produces images that are nothing short of breathtaking. Every nuance, texture, and color is faithfully reproduced, allowing photographers to create images that stand out with remarkable fidelity.
Space-Saving Magic:
One of the standout features of the Alpha 7R III is its efficiency in saving space without compromising image quality. The camera's advanced image compression technology ensures that the files are smaller in size, making it an ideal companion for photographers who need to manage storage space efficiently. This becomes even more significant when compared to its successor, the Alpha 7R IV.
Comparative Advantage Over Alpha 7R IV:
While the Alpha 7R IV boasts a higher resolution at 61 megapixels, the Alpha 7R III demonstrates that more isn't always better. The Alpha 7R III's 42.4-megapixel sensor strikes a perfect balance, delivering exceptional image quality while keeping file sizes manageable. This proves to be a significant advantage for photographers who value the convenience of smaller file sizes without sacrificing the details that matter.
Versatile Performance:
The Alpha 7R III impresses not only with its image quality but also with its versatile performance. The 399-point autofocus system ensures quick and precise focusing, while the 10 frames per second continuous shooting speed allows you to capture fleeting moments with ease. Whether you're shooting stills or 4K video, the Alpha 7R III consistently delivers exceptional results.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Sony Alpha 7R III is a remarkable camera that combines compact design, outstanding image quality, and space-saving efficiency. Its ability to produce breathtaking images with a smaller file footprint sets it apart from many other cameras in its class. While the Alpha 7R IV offers more resolution, the Alpha 7R III demonstrates that it's not always about the numbers; it's about achieving the perfect balance of performance and practicality. For photographers who value both quality and efficiency, the Alpha 7R III is undoubtedly a top contender.

I finally took a vacation recently and brought this an my a7 IV,. I have that gear acquisition thing. These must be model A as mine was purchased months ago. I have to admit I now feel a bit $200 poorer but I have had it for a while. The detail is absolutely mind blowing. When the a7 R V was on sale I almost went with that but for two reasons. From images I had seen online they occasionally were noiser that I thought they should be. The other reason, If I open my 42 MP image RAW file in 16 bit the PSD file is a bit over 241 MB. Saving four is a gigabyte. With the V, saving three PSDs will be over a Gigabyte. I was hesitant too because the camera was 6 years old but the A modification was three years old and helps I am sure. Not huge improvements but good ones, slightly better screen, viewfinder and firmware. Here are two images from my vacation. I was in Washington D.C. for the first time and was using the R III and the IV often together but not always, using the 35mm G Master and the 20mm !.8 G lenses. to my eye they are equally sharp. I made these with the R IIIA and the 20mm G.at the Library of Congress, the detail is superb. If you buy this camera body, think of the dollars saved that can go toward some great glass you'll the good stuff in lenses.

I have been doing photography for many years now, and I have used only a certain other company's cameras and equipment. So being my first Sony professional full frame camera. I can say that this is a fantastic camera, that takes fantastic pictures. And with the 42 megapixel sensor, you can really blow up pictures and see the fine detail in them. I couldn't see going back to any other brand but now, Especially with the huge choice of fantastic lenses for this camera.

I was told that the Sony A7RIII is officially the best professional full-frame mirrorless camera on the market, and I certainly believe it. With it's 42-megapixel sensor and 10 FPS continuous shooting with autofocus and Dual SD card slots, how can you go wrong? The battery life is much better than it was on my previous Sony A6400 camera with it's new NP-FZ-100 battery. By the way, I paired the camera up to the new Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G Full-frame Ultra-compact G Lens, and I couldn't be happier!

I switched to this camera from a Fuji, and I am very happy so far. Lots of customization options (just like the Fuji) and great image quality. The camera feels well-made without being too heavy, and while the grip isn't huge, it's comfortable.

I wanted the Sony a7RIII however the price kept me at arms length. I saw that there was an open box priced several hundred dollars below the new Camera. So I took a chance on getting the open box price. Camera arrived within two days. The box looked in great shape. The camera and accessories looked like it was still packed as it would have been by the factory! The camera is an awesome photographic tool. I’m glad I took a chance on saving $ by getting and open box.

Super lightweight camera body even compared to the Nikon z7. I recently switched from Nikon to Sony and don't regret it. This body is small if you have large hands, you may consider a battery grip. Works excellent indoors for events in low-light situations. No complaints here.

Excellent camera. My first mirrorless camera and it’s a game changer. Eye tracking and not having to reconstitute every shot helps capture those fleeting moments you only have a split second to photograph. Would recommend.

This is my first experience with high end cameras and it’s exceptional. Worlds above what I was using before (and my wife’s phone). It captures details that I didn’t even notice at the moment in stunning detail, and the color accuracy is phenomenal.
