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
