Frequently asked questions
Full-Frame refers to the size of the image sensor used in the camera. The Sony a7 III features a full-frame sensor which is larger in size than the typical APS-C or crop sensor. This allows for better image quality, especially in low light conditions, because larger sensors can gather more light.
The title 'Body Only' indicates that this version of the Sony a7 III comes without a lens. You would need to purchase lenses separately. This gives you flexibility to choose the lenses that best suit your photography needs.
Mirrorless refers to the camera technology where the traditional mirror system used in DSLRs is removed. This allows for slimmer, lighter camera bodies and faster shooting rates. The Sony a7 III is a mirrorless camera, combining the smaller size of mirrorless technology with the image quality of a full-frame sensor.
The '3-Inch LCD' refers to the size of the camera's rear screen. It's a high-resolution display that can be used for framing your shots, reviewing pictures, navigating menus and more. Importantly, it does not have touchscreen capabilities.

Won't be returning to Canon?!??! More than 10 year Canon and Nikon user.

Okay, so it is hard for me to come to grips with this, but I don't think I am going to be returning to Canon or Nikon. The big, and basically only, CON: AUTO FOCUS - Okay, I'm really really on the fence about this, but I THINK I like the AF on this camera, mostly. To give you some perspective, I was mainly using two 5D Mark III cameras for my portrait work, as well as trying out a couple of Nikon D750s and the AF on all of those those was all I've ever wanted. With those cameras, I've never had any issues whatsoever with autofocus. It always worked, even in low light, whenever I wanted it. Now comparing the Sony A7III to those, using the Sigma adapter and Sigma and Canon glass, I've had MOSTLY great success. The EYE-AF is AMAZING for anytime that portrait sessions are going slowly/ people are not moving around too much. I get A LOT more keepers when that is the case. In my work, however, I really like to have movement. I find that I get more natural body poses when movement is going on, and both the regular AF and the EYE-AF don't work great when I'm snapping photos under those conditions. The camera can KIND OF focus when it is rapidly shooting, but it really seems to be a trade off - you either can focus, or you can shoot.... but not both at the same time like the Canon and Nikon excel at. I am VERY disappointed about that - that is the one thing that is keeping me on the fence. PRO's: EVERYTHING else on this camera is AMAZING. Here are some highlights that particularly excite me: 1) The customizability of the buttons - so much better than both Canon and Nikon. And it has even improved over the A7RII !!! :) 2) The dynamic range and how far you can pull the files is amazing. I attached a photo out of an airplane window that I accidentally took at 4 stops (!!!) below what you see. It was basically pitch black and my eyes could barely make out the ice below, but Sony, you're amazing, and this file came out great. 3) The Image Stabilization is legitimately amazing. I can do handheld shots with my 270mm (135 + 2x extender) handheld at about 1/50th of a second and get sharp results 90% of the time. 4) 10FPS is way more than I ever need as a portrait photographer.... but I kind of like it sometimes. :) Conclusion... So because the AF is not quiiite at the point where it is flawless in high frame rate shooting, I am still interested and willing to see what Canon and Nikon come out with. This camera is 90% of the perfect camera for me, and I could easily shoot it for the rest of my life... but it would be 100% perfect if the AF always worked in those fast movement/high frame rate kind of situations.

Awesome camera - definitely worth the switch from Canon!
Style: Body Only
Set: Base
I have only had it for 6 days and, as a lifelong Canon shooter, am still on the learning curve, but so far, I love what this camera can do. Perhaps the biggest surprise so far, is that my Canon glass with the MC11 adapter performs better with the Sony. Case in point is my Canon 70-200 F2.8. On my 7D, this lens only got sharp at around f4.5 in spite of tweaking the focus. With the Sony, the darn thing is now sharp at f2.8 - that's huge for me as I was getting ready to sell this lens and upgrade to the Tamron when they offer their native Sony glass. Aside from lens performance, high ISO shots are simply amazing - even at 12,800, they are better than 1600 on my 7D - changes everything for me based on what and how I shoot. Though getting used to controls and functions will take a while, I love the customization that is possible and have already tweaked it with the controls I think I will need. Tons of videos out there on how to set it up - take the time to watch a few and it will save you tons of time. Also, don't forget to set up a control button to turn on the APS-C crop, instantly provides 50% more reach at the expense of about 30% reduction in resolution but it beats post processing cropping. After 8 days in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, I am even more impressed. I exposed almost every shot for the highlights trusting I would be able to bring out the shadows with no noise, I was not disappointed. I have attached an example where the shadows looked black in the viewfinder. So here we are four years later and based on what I've read about the A7IV, unless you need more resolution, there really is no reason to upgrade as in almost every situation, the III shoots as well, and in some instances, better than the IV. Still a great choice!

At this price, can't beat it.

I have been a user of both Nikon and Canon over the past 3-4 years and made the switch to sony in August of 2017. The a7iii is by far the best camera I have used on these three platforms. I previously owned and still use the Sony a6300 which was great for a budget camera but had tons of issues for someone who shoots professionally. I primarily shoot weddings and sports but also do commercial level work on the side. The photos I have provided are my first test of the a7iii in a somewhat warm climate doing both photo and video. Improved Features: 1. IN CAMERA PROXIES... no one talks about this on youtube!! 2. dual card recording ability, dual writing ability 3. HLG color space, no overheating 4. Bright and Beautiful monitor, focus peaking, customizable buttons, uncompressed RAW photo capability, a large buffer depending on card size, and great autofocus with eye AF and face tracking... plus better "color science." Color science means absolutely nothing unless you are delivering a final image or video straight out of the camera, its all subjective and if you want Accurate colors Sony is the way to go. I could rant for pages about "color science." 5. Headphone Jack... Monitoring external audio is absolutely important if you are running wireless mics. I will use this to monitor my wedding ceremony Audio. Things that could be improved: 1. The EVF is not calibrated color wise to match the display screen on the back of the camera... not a huge deal for video but it can get annoying for photo. Know your settings well enough to get you close in photos, and the RAW capabilities in Lightroom will give you some leeway. 2. No face tracking while using an external recorder AND recording in Camera. If you record solely on the external recorder you can still retain face tracking which is not a huge deal, there is an option in the settings but it turns the external screen black. 3. only 1 UHS-II slot. I would love to see two of them. 4. no 10-bit color depth... this is probably coming on the a7siii which I understand, but it would be incredible to get a firmware update on the a7iii, a7riii, and a9 to allow 10-bit color, making SLOG and HLG way easier to expose for and work with in post. Also, it allows creators to keep their a7iii and purchase an a7siii to match perfectly with it. 5. The shutter button is a little spongy... not a huge complaint here because I am being rather critical The a7iii has improved almost all of the issues thus far I have experienced with Sony APS-C Cameras. In my example photos and videos, I used the 70-200 f/2.8 GM (incredible lens). The a7iii lasted 4.5 hours of continuous video and photo shooting to two different SD cards with a completely bright viewfinder and screen with 20% battery to spare... something I could only dream of on the 6300. This is absolutely a professional camera and is reasonably priced for the features it has. if you are looking for a prosumer camera with pro features... you can't go wrong with the a7iii. It definitely is not a cinema camera but will absolutely serve me well until I need to upgrade in the future for both photo and video.

Best camera on the market right now
Style: Body Only
Set: Base
Best camera on the market right now. Ive been shooting sony since the 1st gen a7 series, going from an a7<a7s<a7ii<a7rii & now the a7iii. Between the first 2 generations there were limitations that i felt yearning for such as longer battery life, dual card slots & better autofocusing in challenging light etc. The a7rii did so much for me & was way ahead of its time but those departments i mentioned were still lacking & i had hopes of them being filled when gen 3 would be released. When the a9 and a7riii released i was excited to know that they implemented those changes but my pockets weren't deep enough to budget for either of those 2. I stayed more focus on the rumors & hopes of an a7iii announcement not nearly expecting as much as what was to come. Sony hit it out of the park and released a camera that blows all the competition away, somewhat cannibalizing their higher end sales, this camera fills in every space i ever wanted in a camera. Granted theres some things that could be done differently, such as better touch implementation & making both sd slots UHS-2, however those may be wants for others but i have no gripe with either of them. For the large majority of people this camera can do it all at a much more (still high) affordable price point. Unless you have the need for 42mp or 20fps than this is the sony camera to get. It has placed my a7rii as my backup camera & am using the a7iii even over it for landscapes and portraits because the color rendition & joy to use has been improved. I can ramble on all day about all the tech features etc, but if you are looking at this camera & on the fence about it, you will not be disappointed. Pros: -amazing autofocus that covers almost entire frame -large battery -improved color over previous gen -amazing lowlight performance, better than a9 & a7riii, about as good or better than a7sii in certain modes -improved ergonomics -improved menu -touchscreen focusing Cons: -touchscreen limitations, can only be used for focusing -only one uhs-2 slot I have attached some images i have recently taken with the camera as well.

Make the switch to mirrorless
Style: Body Only
Set: Base
Dynamic range and color accuracy are excellent. The monitor is nice and bright. Integrated interval shooting. Crazy good low light performance. Great 4k video and 120fps at 1080p video. Tons of features - about 25 pages of menus - at first a bit bewildering, but thankfully they can be assigned to buttons or saved to a favorites menu. Auto focus struggles a bit sometimes but it may be because of the kit lens idk. It gets confused a little more often than my d5300 did. Manual focus with the digital peaking assist is awesome. I shoot mf pretty often because of how easy it is. 2 memory slots. Minor flaw is the second memory slot cant handle writing quite as fast as slot 1. However it is still fast enough to write 4k uhd. For this reason I use slot 1 for RAW burst shooting and slot 2 for either jpeg or video. I wouldn't use the slot 2 as a backup if i was burst shooting because it wouldn't keep up. So far no reason to give it less than 5 stars.
