Sony - Alpha a7R III Full-Frame Mirrorless 4k Video Camera (Body Only) - Black

I shot Nikon for 8 years... 8 YEARS! from d3200 to d7100, to d750 all the way up the d810... Every upgrade gave me something slightly better but overall it was still really about the same camera. Better ISO, more megapixels, and so on, But the way I shot never really changed. I could produce amazing results on either one of the nikons without ever really feeling like the camera was any better. The auto focus, no matter how much hype there was with every upgrade, frankly still felt like I still had to do all the work. Tracking, framing, focus recompose, hold the camera steady/"properly", or get a OS lens, shaky hands? sorry shoot higher shutter speeds. ALL on me as if Auto focus was somehow a required skill for photographers... But this...this is a whole new world. would you ever shoot sports with say...a 85mm prime on nikon or canon? probably not. But on the R3, sony says "here shoot what you want, how you want, when you want, and hey here's 42 megapixles at 10fps for the blank of it, oh and only $3200" WHAT?! To get that kind of performance on nikon or canon you would have to spend $6000 dollars, and you STILL dont get a live image preview, you still dont get a true silent shutter, and you STILL dont get a fully customizable button layout. AND I MEAN FULLY custom. Like i can set individual buttons to focus areas with different shutter, iso , and aperture combos. YEAH. Sony litterally said "DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT WITH THIS" its insane. Oh yeah and 5 axis image stabilization makes it so irrelevant stuff like camera holding etiquette can jump off a bridge. Ive shot portraits one handed with the camera parrallel to my body, WHILE holding the camera BY THE LENS! DO WHAT YOU WANT! Best camera on the market for sure.

Purchased this camera at the end of May. Such an epic camera! Love the colors it produces and the mega-pixels on this camera is crazy high. A small learning curve as I am switching from another brand but fairly easy to learn if you have some prior knowledge about photography. Highly recommend!

Got this because of the small form factor and decreased weight. Currently using it for bird photography paired with a Sony 200-600mm. The high megapixel was chosen over the A7III to get a tighter crop.

I had been shooting with the A7ii for a while and wanted to step up my kit considerably. I wanted to shoot low light and astro landscapes and pulled the trigger on the A7iii. I am very happy that I did. The Increased resolution borders that of a Medium Format rig. I have since also purchased the A7iii and with these two cameras in my kit, I feel prepared for anything.

So far I’ve haven’t had 1 single complaint about this camera. It’s the best camera I’ve ever owned. Hands down by far the best camera out.

Priced perfect to transition from DSLR to mirrorless camera body. Paired with Sony VG-C3EM Vertical Battery Grip, weighs what it should for balanced weight using pro-level glass to capture images. Whether native Sony glass or using an adapter like Sigma MC-11 as the case is for my use of Canon glass, the small size of the camera body is too small for average to large hands if used by itself. Menu navigation learning curve is best managed with online videos/in-person tutorials vs relying on manual. Resolution quality delivers beyond expectations for images of people, products and places. LCD and viewfinder makes composition effortless and ideal when shooting tethered from camera to computer. Great camera for beginners to pro.

Overall the camera is a great device one of the key features I love about it is the focusing on the eye piece so I can take pictures without my glasses getting in the way high quality pictures have not tried video yet but am completely in love with what this camera is capable of

Composition can make or break a great photo. With the A7R3, if you get the composition wrong, the ability to crop maintaining incredible detail is amazing to get that just right composition. The eye auto focus is amazingly fast and the 10 fps shooting is incredible. I recommend getting the UHS-II card for this camera. Keep in mind that only one slot is UHS-II and the other UHS-I. It would have been nice to have both at UHS-II. It would have been nice to have the Sony UHS-II reader as a companion to this camera included instead of separate purchase but that has nothing to do with the camera. As far as the camera, the battery life is nearly all day for the hobbyist but I recommend carry of a second battery. With the prior generation, I had to carry 4 batteries. This is a huge plus on great battery life. I like the dual slots. A pro camera to never miss a shot as I have two SD cards in the camera and the 2nd SD Card always serves as a backup to the 1st. With the great ISO and 5-axis stabilization, I can finally take evening shots without a tripod and really capture the moment.
