Q: QuestionDoes the a7-iii accept lenses that currenly fit my Sony a6000?(5 answers)
A: Answeryes don't worry they work better in almost every way on the A7iii than on the a6000 . Faster autofocus, way way better photos in low light when using high ISO settings and/or slow shutter speeds, especially with the IBIS in-camera stabilizer (helps stabilize too nuch coffee shaky hand shots with ANY lens you put on). The A7iii will automatically go into 'APS-C' mode (unless you choose to disable that in settings) which is just a fancy way of saying the camera will digitally zoom to 1.5x so that a smaller portion of the sensor gets used (centered area, having same 24mm width x 16mm height as the a6000). Sometimes you might want to disable the APS-C mode to acheive different perspectives, especially with ultra wide lenses like the 10-18. In any case if you are adding a A7iii to your a6000 system I would bet you will be very happy with the results!Answered by Anonymous

The Best Investment ever
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!
