An Absolute Beast
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This camera is everything I've dreamed of as a content creating video machine. I run a YouTube channel and my old A7III and A6600 always had limitations. The A7SIII just does EVERYTHING and it does everything well. Never overheats even when shooting 4K 120P. The stabilization with "Active" turned on is really good... This camera is just mind blowing. Working with the XAVC-I footage is a breeze even on a mid-grade laptop. If you're on the fence about buying something cheaper like an A7III... I'd save up and get the A7SIII. It's going to be my workhorse for years to come

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For video, Iso, Picture qualityThe absolute best low light camera I've ever used. Even at higher iso, the clarity beats any Canon I've ever used. The video is smooth and clean. Rolling shutter is basically non existent. The color is much more natural straight out of camera, and while not as neutral as Canon, I almost like it better. The new menu and flip out screen changes EVERYTHING! 10/10. I'll have this camera for many years to come.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For video, ReliableFirst off I’m coming from a a7iii so moving down to 12 mp I was pretty worried but let me tell you unless you are doing heavy cropping this camera is insane it takes even better low light photos, so on the photography side of things don’t worry because this camera is delivers. Now for video this camera is mind blowing and most importantly the reliability is a must have for me and it doesn’t disappoint, also being able to charge the camera with a usb c to a power bank is awesome. 9 outa 10 for me.

Best on the market

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The Sony a7siii is a great camera that has all the features you'd want for filming. It's the best in its price range, outclassing all other competitors. The addition of the flip out screen and the new menu layout are game changers! And as a former Canon user, I love being able to record in 4k, 10-bit, 120fps without the silly crop factor of the Canon EOS r and the overheating issues of the EOS r5. My only complaint about the a7siii is that it doesn't currently have S-Cinetone, but Sony recently announced that it will be coming with the 2.0 firmware update! You really can't go wrong with this unrivaled beast of a camera!

In a League of it's own!
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5As a full time video profession Ive been waiting for this camera for years!! After shooting Canon professionally for over 10 years it was the original a7s that pulled me in to the Sony world and I haven't looked back. No longer do I have to depend on a large shoulder cam for 10 bit color. The quality it captures when shooting in slog-3 10 bit 422 all-I and its dynamic range in such a small package is a game changer for me. It makes my job so much easier to be quick and nimble in run and gun situations. The new active stabilization combined with the internal ibis makes shooting handheld a breeze, and if I really want stable handheld shots I deactivate all internal stabilization and use Sonys catalyst application to take advantage of the a7siiis gyro sensor information. Do I really even need to mention it's low light capability??? The a7siii is without a doubt in a league of its own.

An astrophotographer's dream
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Features, For video, IsoI recently used this camera for a low-light film project and cannot put into words how incredible it is, but I’ll try: the new flip out screen is beyond welcome; the updated location of the recording button is honestly one of the best additions; and, of course, its impeccable ability to capture the night sky is second to none. As a member of the Sony Alpha Imaging Collective, I’ve been fortunate enough to test quite a bit of awesome gear, but this camera feels like it’s in a league of its own. It has all of the same fantastic features seen in previous Sony mirrorless cameras, but the updates in the a7S III are so huge that it made me feel a little blue every time I had to grab an a7 III instead of this camera while filming the project. Even with the ISO cranked up to 102,400 (its highest native ISO), footage still looks spectacular. It feels very lightweight in hand, and I appreciate the new menu. It seemed overwhelming at first, but the larger focus on colors really leaves a lasting impression; I now know where each of my most-changed items are instinctively by color, which makes similar items so much easier to find in comparison to Sony's previous menu. Being able to record RAW is massive, especially when filming hard to capture night sky phenomena such as aurora borealis. My dream of becoming a superhero basically came true—this camera comes with night vision. I am still in disbelief that I was able to point this small camera at the night sky and record stars and swirling aurora. While the a7S III was largely created for video, the photo capabilities are pleasantly surprising. As an astrophotographer, I am thrilled to have this in my toolbox for stills as well. I honestly cannot recommend this baby enough. If you shoot at night, then no questions asked. This is the champ.

Q: QuestionHas anyone received there a7siii through best buy? I was told to order it on the 24th at 12am or 9am and it has been sold out the entire time and best buy has no idea when they will be getting them again.
Asked by Received.
- A:Answer Best Buy canceled my preorder too. I called BB customer service about the issue which was a total waste of time. Customer service workers at BB are clueless and not helpful at all. The answer I got from the BB rep was “What do you want me to do”. I don’t think BB shipped any a7s III preordered cameras. They allowed people to preorder then started canceling their orders on Sony’s annouced shipping date.
