    Excellent camera. Smaller than a dslr but photos are comparable. I’m just a casual photographer but have been using dslr cameras for a few years and would highly recommend this over a dslr. Only con for me is the price.

    WORST EXPERIENCE AT BESTBUY!!!

    I am absolutely furious about the horrific experience I’ve had with your store! I purchased the Sony A7III with the kit lens and two additional lenses just last week. After using it for three days, I tried connecting it to the Creators app only to discover that the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren’t working. So, I went to your Oakdale MN location to exchange it, but they told me there was no stock, and I would have to pick one up from another store. Since I don’t have the time to waste on that, I reluctantly decided to upgrade to the A7IV. After making the purchase and getting home, I was shocked to find that the box was already opened! Furious, I drove all the way back to the store, and when I told them about it, they insisted on an exchange instead of a refund, even after everything I’d been through! First, the camera I bought was defective, and now I’m handed an opened box as a replacement. How is that acceptable?! On top of all this, they had the nerve to try and charge me a restocking fee! I paid for the restocking fees on the lenses without issue, but for the camera? Absolutely not! I want to make this clear: this is NOT MY FAULT. I paid for a brand new camera, and I get a defective one, then an opened box camera as a replacement, and I’m still expected to pay for your mistakes? The manager even had the audacity to question why I didn’t want an exchange! Why should I have to pay anything? The camera was defective, then opened, and you’re still charging me a restocking fee?! This is outrageous, and I feel completely disrespected. The manager could have easily waived that fee, but instead, I’m treated like this? This entire situation is unacceptable, and I won’t stand for being forced to pay for something that was never my fault. Do better.

    There's so much to learn! This is a computer that also takes pictures. I needed a low light camera, and it is wonderful for that. The auto focus and auto mode makes it a simple camera to take great pictures with even if you don't want to be able to control f stops and shutter speed.

    Easy to learn and use! As long as you go through the instruction manual and learn how to use the menu, you will be all set. it’s a lot, but once you’ve got it down, it’s easy as point, shoot, snap!

    I strongly suggest looking around for detailed reviews, so that you know what you are doing in getting this camera, you are dropping 2 grand after all, but that said, this is the former flagship Sony Full Frame camera and is an extremely strong performer. I take absolutely stunning photos with this camera and its low-light performance shooting in dimly lit clubs with the 85mm F/1.8 is phenomenal. I'm a big fan of the joystick and the plethora of dials and buttons, and the battery performance is extremely good (I haven't felt the need to purchase additional batteries yet, as I haven't come close to running out of juice doing shoots for an entire night). I somewhat regret getting it with the kit lens since I am replacing that lens with a tamron 28-75 F/2.8, but that is just a matter of replacing a $300 lens with a $900 lens. Long story short, I am in love with this camera and haven't really found a fault with it.

    Upgraded from a Canon 10D DSLR. Never going back. If your into landscape photography, you may want to spring for the more expensive , higher mega pixel model, but for a all-around travel camera, this one can't be beat. Especially if you shoot 4K video in addition to doing still pics.
