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.

    • A Very Capable Camera Even in 2025
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Still a great camera in 2025 especially considering the economical price you can find it for. I have used it to take beautiful portrait photo shoots, a couple weddings, Milky Way galaxy photography, landscapes and beyond. Solid auto focus when shooting videos. Would love to have faster FPS and auto focus when shooting action shots but I also understand that this model predates a number of those advancements in mirrorless camera technology. ... show more

Truly a steal. I’ve been skeptical in the past buying used equipment, but this easily saved me hundreds with no decrease in product quality. It came essentially brand new and has been able to produce stunning photos out of nothing. I took it outside and quickly discovered two little hairs on the sensor, which I’m led to believe is why the original seller let it go. No issue to me, a $20 cleaning kit got rid of it. The photos it did appear in don’t at all feel ruined as I’ll just edit them out. Definitely my favorite purchase I’ve made, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to make an equipment jump without spending an arm and leg. The colors are just great. Love it. ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Best Camera for the money.
Style: w/ 28-70mm Set: Base
Was on a Canon RP camera before deciding to upgrade. Was nervous at first because of the fear of the item coming in broken. When I tell you, that I am beyond impressed with this Camera. From how well it functions, to the picture quality is superb, the image stabilization is top tier. The size is amazing too fitting perfectly on my hand. And above all else, how easy it is to handle. The battery life is also another plus, being able to shoot at least around 710 pictures in one charge. Definitely recommend! ... show more

Review Image by DVAB DVAB
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! ... show more
