Is the Sony a7RIII worth getting? We’ll get to that in a minute. Here’s the scoop: I moved from Canon to Fuji in late 2016 when Fuji released the XT-2. Fuji changed my entire world. It introduced me to the world of mirrorless and I ain’t never going back to DSLR life! For one year I shot with the XT-2, posting all of my work across the interwebs and convincing people of its magical abilities. I shot everything with the XT-2: commercial jobs, corporate video, agency shoots, personal work, family get-togethers. Even my honeymoon in Thailand. Ah yes, the Fuji and I have made some fantastic memories together. “This is the only camera I ever need,” I whispered to myself one night while tucking the Fuji to sleep. Oh, how wrong I was. Flash forward a few nights later. “Dude, you hear about the new Sony coming out?” my friend Eric texted me. It must have been around midnight, right about the time our conversation always seems to center around gear lust. “You gonna sell the Fuji and get it?” he goaded me. “No way,” I shot back. “I don’t really need another camera,” I said, seemingly trying to convince both him and myself. But then I started thinking. I had recently sold off all my Canon gear, so I only had the XT-2. What kind of professional photographer would I be with only one camera body? Sony *did* have a reputation for making good cameras. And the a7RIII supposedly had a lot of improvements over the previous version. Maybe I could just take a quick peek at the specs and see what it offered. No harm, no foul, right? Twenty minutes later, my cursor is hovering over the “Add to Cart” button as I struggle to keep myself from salivating all over my laptop. “Here goes nothing,” I said as I pre-ordered the camera. That was November 5th. I had to wait an excruciating four weeks before the camera finally arrived at my apartment. Since then, I’ve taken it out for several portrait sessions and can confirm: This camera is one seriously bad-ass machine. Let’s take a look at my top five favorite factors: 1) 42 Megapixels I know, I know. Megapixels aren’t everything. Sure, I agree. BUT FORTY TWO OF THEM?! That’s some serious resolution power! To compare, the Fuji XT-2 offers 24.3mp, which, let’s be real, is more than enough for most photographers. But having 70% more resolution is just insane. The level of detail in its RAW images is astounding. And I love not being afraid to crop my photos for fear of losing quality. 2) 120fps (Slow-mo) Since getting into video last year, I’ve been having a lot of fun shooting slow-mo clips, especially for b-roll footage. The Fuji XT-2 handles video exceptionally well. It might not be the ideal camera for more serious jobs that require long shooting times or heavy post-work, but for smaller gigs, it’s fantastic. That being said, one thing it’s missing is the ability to shoot at 120fps. I convinced myself I didn’t *need* this feature, but man I really wanted it. Enter the a7RIII. Its slow-mo feature is buttery smooth, and the quality is exceptional. I love the “S&Q” option, that lets you capture and playback the footage in slow-mo right in the camera. No longer do I have to settle for shooting 60fps. 3) Battery life I can’t really compare to the a7RII since I never owned it. But I will say this, I’m seriously impressed with the a7RIII’s NP-FZ100 battery. I went out and did two portrait sessions, shooting for maybe three hours total, and didn’t even use 10%! While the Fuji XT-2 certainly doesn’t have a bad battery life, I can’t say it’s quite as good as the Sony’s. 4) Eye-AF Guys, this one is seriously a game-changer. Eye-AF already existed before this camera, but not quite like this. Again, comparing it to the XT-2 is like comparing night and day. While the XT-2 might identify your subject’s eye, forget about precision if they’re moving around at all. The a7RIII, on the other hand, locks onto your subject’s eyes with pinpoint accuracy. They could spin around like the Tasmanian Devil and you could have peace of mind that their eyes will still be in focus. It’s SCARY impressive. Provided that I have good light, all I have to do is hit the center button (where eye-AF is set to by default) and I never EVER have to worry about nailing focus for my portraits. The only times I’ve experienced issues is when my subjects’ faces aren’t exposed too well, forcing the camera to “guess” their eyes are. (Sometimes this results in the camera placing the green square somewhere in the background, which is absolutely frightening, as I imagine it’s picking up the eyes of some invisible ghoul, but I digress.) 5) Shooting continuous at 10fps If you like shooting action, this one is a real treat. Unless you’re coming from the a9 (which shoots at a mind-blowing 20fps), you’re sure to be delighted with the ability to shoot continuously at 10 frames per second. As a portrait photographer, I’ll often ask my subjects to walk, run, or jump in an effort to capture natural movement. Nailing these shots can be challenging if the camera doesn’t shoot at a fast enough frame rate. Though the a7RIII only offers 2 more frames-per-second than the XT-2, here’s where it really shines: Combining eye-AF with the continuous shutter. These two features are a powerful combination, practically guaranteeing that I nail focus for any intentional or unexpected movement. Bottom line: Though I’m known amongst my photographer friends as a fervent Fuji fan, the Sony a7RIII is an irresistible package. I have absolutely no regrets over buying it. Does the Sony replace the XT-2? That depends on what you shoot and what features you appreciate the most in a camera. In my opinion, Fuji is second to none with color science. Their baked-in film simulations are a delight to use. I love the simplicity of their menu system, along with their nostalgic build of their camera bodies. But when it comes to features and specifications, the a7RIII is hard to beat. With medium-format-like resolution, incredibly precise eye-autofocus, and the ability to capture most movement with its 10fps, this camera is a sure winner. Kevin Kleitches Kevin Titus Photo

You can find about a million lessons and reviews online that detail all the features on this camera. This review is just me and an general overview of what I think about the camera. That being said. Amazing camera. Will do just about everything you expect it to. Build is excellent with one minor exception if you are a perfectionist. The doors that cover the USB ports are slightly flimsy and I noticed that when I placed the camera on the table you could break off the door if you are not careful. That being said the battery life of the camera has much improved. I purchased a second battery but have yet to use it (spent a day at the Philadelphia Flower Show and 1 battery got me through the day.) This is not a camera to use on automatic. If you love playing with different lighting schemes and layouts, taking portraits and taking tons of pictures and exploring different ways of taking pictures then you can't go wrong with this camera. If you want to spend a ton of money on a camera and use it on auto look at the Sony RX series. Video is also excellent and I have started using a lot more. I was always a still photographer but this camera has much more flexibility in the video area and if you vlog you won't be disappointed and I am an amateur videographer. While I now have native Sony Lenses you can use other lenses from your collection just remember you will need adapters that may not work as well as the native lenses. Many companies are now jumping on board with this camera and you can find some great lenses for decent prices or you can go all out with the G-Master line. I also like the bluetooth function of pairing with the phone to add location data. Helps out a lot when sorting by location. Transfer of photos to phone via wireless has improves as well if you like to get your photos out quickly. Menu functions are still a little clunky to use but there are enough custom buttons on the phone that you can automate you favorite actions to quickly get a great shot. The eye and face autofocus are amazing and when you try it you will not be disappointed. If you don't want to spend the bucks on this camera you can check out the new A7m3 coming out this month. I don't need it but it is cheaper with the same bells and whistles mostly with less megapixel then the A7Rm3. I am waiting on the next firmware update to see what they can do with this series. You can't go wrong with this camera in the bag however if you are a canon/Nikon lover don't sell all your equipment just add this to the pile with and adapter and you will do fine.

Before I go into my review of this camera lets just go over my camera history, so you know what experiences I am comparing this to. My first digital camera was the Canon Rebel XTi -> Canon EOS 60D -> Canon EOS 6D -> Sony A7ii -> Sony A7Riii. I have also shot with the Sony A7Rii and a few other recent Canon mirrorless cameras like the EOS M and M3. In November of 2016 I made the switch from my 6D to Sony after borrowing a friend’s a7ii for a week. I loved it and it fit my workflow perfectly. I was immediately a fan. I used that camera every day. Fast forward to the announcement of the A7Riii a couple months back and it was the perfect time to upgrade. My focus is photography, but I wanted to be able to shoot 4K video for some projects at work too. I have had my A7Riii for a little over a week now. The slightly different shape is an immediate improvement for me. I have bigger hands and the Sony mirrorless cameras have always been a tad hard to hold on to. The slightly deeper body is actually one of my favorite changes. I picked up the Gariz leather half-case made for the A9 (Gariz XS-CHA9BK) and it fits like a charm and adds just a little more height to the camera as well. I HIGHLY recommend the half-case for people with larger hands, it gives my pinky a place to rest. The image quality out of this camera is insane, but I have used the A7Rii a bit and it is no different, so that is not a surprise. But for people not coming from the A7Rii, the detail you can get out of these sensors blows my mind. Video quality is good, I am just getting started with this area of creativity and am learning. But the ability to shoot flat is great. I am excited to be able to expand in this area. Battery life is great. I personally never have had a problem with carrying a few extra batteries in my pocket. I drove around Iceland for a week with the A7ii and 4 batteries and did fine. But this camera obviously has a much more impressive battery, something I will never say no to. Build quality is something you expect from a camera at this price point. The fitment is great, the buttons feel wonderful. RAW support is something I am patiently waiting for since I use Lightroom. There is a simple EXIF hack to change the camera ID to an A7Rii to get them in Lightroom, but still waiting for official support. (This is 100% on Adobe, but still a point to make) The viewfinder is beautiful. Coming from the A7ii, this makes a big difference. I still have not decided if I use the viewfinder or the LCD more, probably evenly split. But nonetheless the viewfinder is better, that’s welcome. Finally, Autofocus. I can not even begin to explain this. I know the A9 is faster, I know Canon and Nikon have cameras that are faster. But I have NEVER used a camera with autofocus like this one. I have always shot single-focus center point and just “focus and recompose” so that I can quickly get what I want in focus in focus. However, this is the first time in my life I have shot with a camera and I feel it focuses quickly and accurately. I shoot a lot with fast lenses and so focus is very important. This camera absolutely nails it. The subject tracking is incredible, the eye tracking is incredible. In conclusion, if you read this far you have probably already watched every YouTube review on this camera and visited this page 100 times. If you can afford one, you’ll probably get one. If you can’t, you’ll probably save for one. Maybe this review helped someone, that’s all I hope. Take care everyone, and keep on shooting!

I've bought this used from Amazon warehouse. The camera is mostly in pristine condition except there is an issue with the screen turning green at boot. I have decided to ignore it and kept the camera. I am not disappointed! It's an amazing piece of hardware, I have been using A6000 for over 5 yrs and switching to this body has been a huge upgrade. The image quality is stunning, autofocus is great but the autofocus on the cheaper A7iii is a lot better if you shooting burst mode @10fps. The other concern was the low light performance compared to A7iii and to be honest..it doesn't matter. The A7iii once again is atleast 1 stop better than A7riii at high ISO but if you pair your A7Riii with a fast lens, it doesn't matter. I would say conservatively ISO 3200 will produce very good images. Other the two drawbacks mentioned above this body will destroy any competition at it's price point if you can get it under 2000 usd used. The amount of detail specially for landscape photography at 42mgpxl is just stunning! You could also shoot super 35 mode and get a respectful 18mgpx images, the viewfinder is much superior than the A7iii. I would highly recommend this camera if you debating with any full frame camera under 2000 usd! Period. The only real competition are the canon r5 but you need to consider the price difference and cost of lens. I am currently using sony G 24-105 f4 and sony G 20mm f1.8 and both of them are really good value for the price tag.

Sony continues to dominate the camera market right now with its advanced technology packed in to an ultra-compact body, and all at a resonable price. The Sony a7R III is no exception and is considered by many experts as the best all-around camera on the market right now. DxO Mark gives the sensor a perfect rating of 100, tying it with Nikon’s D850, and is only surpassed by the medium-format giants Pentax 645Z and Hasselblad X1D-50c (though each of these medium-format cameras have numerous short-comings such as a high price tag and limited lens line-up, plus they make for a poor travel camera given the very large lenses but that’s beside the point). Sony’s a7R III is well-built, has a weather-sealed body for use in inclimate weather, operates very quickly with a nearly instant auto-focus, and is highly customizable from button operatioin to menu designation. There is almost nothing to dislike. The OLED electronic viewfinder is crystal-clear and superior to a standard viewfinder in every way from its live representation of active settings to focus zoom and focus peeking to esentially anything one would see on the live-view screen on the back of the camera. The button layout is intuitive and responsive to touch. Having a designated exposure compensation dial on the top right is handy, in addition to multiple other dials, all of which are customizable to your preferences. The camera’s one shortcoming lies in its touch screen. Though a nice feature to have, when executed properly, this feature feels more of an after-thought than a practical feature. The touch screen is only for selecting focus but its responsiveness and usefulness is limited at best. Hopefully a future firmware update will improve upon this aspect and increase its capabilities, but as of right now it is more useful in advertising than in photo shoots. As for the E-Mount lens lineup; more and more 3rd-party manufacturers are developing lenses for this new-ish Sony line, such as Zeiss, Sigma, and Rokinon; many of whom are doing so without sacrificing image quality. Native E-Mount lenses from Sony offer a wide range of quality and price. Any of the Sony lenses with the GM stamp are of the highest quality on the market; they are also their most expensive lenses. The ‘G’ line is also excellent though not of the superior quality of the G Master line. All standard Sony lesses, without either the G or GM designation, are not worthy of this camera and should be avoided. One cannot discuss E-mount lenses without mentioning the Sony Zeiss line. Through a multi-decade partnership Sony and German manufacturer Zeiss have created some truly excellent lenses, many of which are on par with, or surperior to, the Sony G Master line. All-in-all you will not be disappointed.

The Sony A7RIII is a much better camera than the A7RII. I'm a semiprofessional photographer who makes most of my money shooting headshots and other forms of portraiture. With the image quality produced by the A7RII being just short of that produced by a 45mp or 50mp medium format camera, the Sony A7RII does an excellent job enabling me to produce high resolution, sharp portraits. But I've also been called upon to do other types of photography work, such as low light events and sporting events, and that's where the A7RII falls short and underperforms, impeding me from doing my job efficiently. So, I bought an A6500 for speed and a D750 for low light to help compensate for the A7RII's shortcomings, in that regard. Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is). Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons. Back to the A7RIII and why it is better than the A7RII and probably the best all-around camera in the world: I know folks like to say that the A7RII and the A7RIII have same sensor. While that may be more or less accurate, the truth is that they don't have the same technology processing the data (light) captured by the sensor, and this fact shows significantly in the images produced by the respective processors, not the sensors. In other words: The sensor is akin to a retina and the processor is akin to a brain. The brain in the A7RIII is way way better than the brain in the A7RII. For example: I own a manual focus lens, with which I use focus peaking, manual focus assist, etc. The focus peaking between the A7RII and the A7RIII is like apples to oranges. The focus peaking in the A7RIII is, IMO, two or three times better, enabling me to nail focus with a manual focus lens as if it were a semi-autofocus lens. And with the clearer viewfinder and LCD, it's even better. That's a big deal. Other examples are with autofocusing capability (particularly, eye-autofocus), pixel-shifting, sensor stabilization (5 Axis). All of those things are big deals. If your sensor can't acquire focus, then it's not all that good of sensor. A couple other upgrades I really like: The flash sync port is extremely useful for me, as I would call myself a flash/studio photographer. The dual card slot is excellent, because knowing that you're not at risk of losing hours of prep and shooting to a faulty card is a Big Deal! The extended battery life is cool, but not consequential to me, unless I'm shooting video. The increased frame rate is awesome, making my A6500 pretty much useless to me, unless I'm looking to put the lightest body I can on a gimbal. In a nutshell, the A7RIII is hands down well-worth it if you're looking for an all-in-one camera. It is undoubetedly superior, in many ways, to the A7RII. With the A7RIII, you no longer need to buy the A6500, as the A7RIII has all the capabilities of the A7RII and A6500 plus more. I highly recommend the A7RIII and Samy's Camera shipped it to me in mint condition via FedEx in a well-packaged box.

I don't really have many negative things to say about this camera other than the limited touch screen capabilities and non-swiveling screen. The A7R3 is a very sturdy topnotch camera I've ever owned and I don't regret paying a lot for it because it exceeds my expectations. The autofocus is very fast, the image quality is very great, and it's not too heavy and easy to travel with. I can go on with saying nothing but good things about this camera because it's that great, sony really hit this one out of the ballpark, and plan to keep this for much longer than I plan on at first. The A7R4 is also a great camera but I feel they didn't really update much except for the megapixels, sd card compatibility, and autofocus. This is why I feel the A7R3 is still a solid camera hence debuting back in 2017. Overall I highly recommend this camera 110% if you plan on buying it.

This is my fourth Sony camera and second full frame Sony camera, the A7rii being the first. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. First and foremost this is the best camera Sony has made to date. It solve nearly every problem I have with the A7rii. The A7rii is decent for video, and a great landscape, portrait, and product photo camera, but wasn't a great do it all camera as some would have you believe. The A7riii's most powerful feature for hybrid shooters is the ability to set your custom keys to do one thing in photo modes, and another in video. When I first got the camera I was skeptical about its major benefits, but after using it to cover a couple live events most recently the NAMM Show, I couldn't imagine wanting to switch back to my A7rii. It's battery life is significantly longer than even Sony say's. I didn't think I'd care about 10 fps, but even that has proved useful in a few cases. It's ability to focus in lower light has made life way easier. I don't think the auto focus system is that dramatic of an improvement until the light levels come down, or when tracking object moving towards and away from the camera. But as per Sony tradition there are still quite a few menu issues, and not because they are complicated. I get frustrated because these camera inevitably have settings conflicts, sometimes for reasons that make no sense, and worse the camera isn't going to explain what the problem is, which makes the learning curve for this Swiss Army knife of cameras that much more complicated. Software and communication is where Sony still struggles. Last thought if you find that you switch back and fourth from video and stills something like a 50/50 or 60/40 this is the best camera you can buy, if not I would recommend checking out an A6500 as a back up camera as you would have 90% of the features for a third the price.
