    Great camera. Very good for photography. For video recording it has its limitations but would be more than capable to get required footage for most of the people. Pros: 1. Has a great selection of lenses, both from Sony and variety of third party lenses. Applies for all E mount Sony cameras. 2. Great Autofocus. 3. Great photos even in low light. 4. Has dual memory slots. 5. Full day battery. Hardly had to use the spare, especially for photography. Cons: 1. 8 bit footage. Wouldn’t be a problem if you are shooting anything professional. 2. Can only shoot 4k upto 30fps. 3. Doesn't have some of the newer Sony picture profiles.

    The Sony Alpha 7 III has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. From the first use, I was impressed by the quality and sharpness of the photos, thanks to its 24.2-megapixel sensor that captures accurate colors and incredible detail, even in low-light conditions. The autofocus is fast and precise, especially with the Eye AF function, which keeps perfect focus on the eyes, ideal for portraits. Additionally, the 4K recording quality is outstanding, making it versatile for both photos and videos. The battery life is also impressive, which is a big plus for long sessions. Overall, it’s been an amazing experience, and it’s truly worth every penny. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality and performance in one camera!

    The best part of the Sony a7 III is its outstanding 24.2-megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, which delivers exceptional image quality and dynamic range. Its impressive 693-point phase-detection autofocus system ensures fast and accurate focusing, even in challenging lighting conditions.

For videographers, the a7 III offers 4K video recording with full pixel readout, resulting in incredibly detailed and sharp footage. The camera's robust build quality and ergonomic design make it comfortable to use for extended periods. Its long-lasting NP-FZ100 battery provides significantly improved battery life, allowing for longer shooting sessions without frequent recharging. Additionally, the extensive customization options and intuitive controls make it a versatile tool for both amateur and professional photographers.

    I’ve had this camera for about a year now & it’s a BEAST! I literally don’t put it down. These pro cameras are only worth it as long as u know what ur doing, bcus it is a huge learning curve. Even the kit lens that comes with it is amazing, but now I own MY Holy Trinity of lenses the Sony Gm 35mm f1.4, Sigma Art 85mm f1.4, & the Sigma 135mm f1.8 (eventually the Sony GM 70-200mm f2.8 OSSII) & once u get the big boy lenses u’ll realize how much of a workhorse this camera is! I’ve been doing events, portraits, full photoshoots, boudoir, Holiday, celebrity events & it’s been amazing! Everybody loves my work! I switched from a Nikon DSLR & I’m so happy I did! I’ll add some stills so u can see how good this lens is. I’m actually moving up to the Sony a7rIII now, but I’m still keeping the a7iii as a b-roll & second camera. Buy this camera, u won’t regret it! Check me out on fb @Stardust Photography & ig @twiggy___stardust

    I have been a Canon user for 10+ years and was reluctant to make the switch to Sony, but it was time for a lighter more compact solution. I am so glad that I took the leap and purchased the Sony A7 III. Firstly, it met my needs in the weight area. It is not cumbersome, but rather, a light weight and ergonomically comfortable tool. I can carry it around for long periods of time without needing a break. Furthermore, the quick access of buttons at your fingertips are useful in changing your settings as you move around the sun. Additionally, and most importantly, the quality of image is crisp, sharp and vivid.

    Love love love this camera, for anyone else interested in photography this is a amazing choice. I will add my own photos too, I’ve been only using the kit lens as well. I hope to purchase a new lens soon. But I will say that even though the talk about the lot lens is negative I have to say that it’s actually really great overall. For a beginner this is perfect too. The lens captures great close of photos. I will say it’s more of a nature/close up portrait photos and some landscape and street. You can follow me on instagram @Charismaticc_lens

    If you are looking for a great point and shoot this is it. Not too expensive compared to others but definitely not cheap either. Unless you know you are going to be taking alot of pictures or already do there are others in the $800 or less. But if you have the extra money and truly want quality then it's amazing. If you are beginning its best to get the starter lens and mess around before buying a more expensive lens because you will be paying 700+ for a great lens to go with the great camera. I have shown the quality to a few friends and they have all bought the same camera it's that good.

    Terrific vivid, images with my new Sony - Alpha a7 III Mirrorless [Video] Camera with FE 28-70 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens - Black. Everything has so much detail and depth of focus. Good-bye iphone pictures. I like that while upgrading my photos I haven't sacrificed spontaneity. I used this when traveling to Costa Rica, Guadeloupe, the islands on boats and rainforests. Get a UV and polarizing lens. It was very protective and brings out the crisp. Also lightweight. Read instructions, play around for a while before using for real. Lots of buttons.

    When I bought this camera, I was trying to decide between the Nikon Z6 ii and Canon EOS R6, however, this one is way better both for photography and video. It takes such clean images and does really well in low light situations. Even though this camera is a few years old, it still holds up with today's technology. The only part I struggled with is learning the menu system which is very cluttered with stuff you will most likely never use. However, after watching a few YouTube videos I was able to learn it.

All photos are superstar quality, operating system is fast, it performs wonderfully in low light, and video looks crisp and professional. If you're looking for a camera, I highly recommend getting this one. In addition to using it for marketing (food photography, product photography) I also use it for landscape. Close-ups of nature look amazing and so detailed.

    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.

It’s easy to learn, intuitive when left in priority modes, and a blast to play with the foundational settings for a fully customized experience.

    This package is a great way to get into full-frame photography and video if you don’t already have any e-mount lenses from your prior system. The a7M3 offers a perfect balance between excellent low-light capability and High image quality for still photograph fans. The video is perfect for those who are looking for a really good all-round system for home & travel, as well as decent enough quality for vlogging and semi-professional work too. The included lens has built-in stabilization and is perfectly good enough to manage most everyday shooting situations.
