  • BEST HYBRID MIRRORLESS for all kinds of photo and video work… Nothing Compares IMO
Style: Camera Only
Versatile, Best in-its-class hybrid camera. High Quality, Sharp Footage, Auto Focus is amazing AF (pun intended), Low light performance of the Gods, Anazing viewfinder which i use every single day to pixel peep in broad sunlight- and with S-Log3 (PP8), a dream to color grade in post. I enjoy using this camera so much for all my client work, it has become an extension of myself and my creativity. This kind of camera makes you more creative just by the way it handles everything so well- you worry less about the technical side. I’ve had many cameras, and have sold most of them in favor of this one. I will get another soon as a B-cam. The more you learn to use it, and utilize its features to the max, the more you’ll fall in love with it. To any creator seeking to go pro, or just take their craft to the next level, this is the one stop shop for mostly everything you’ll need. Until you’ve got $$$ for a crazy cinema camera like the fx6, an ursa mini, or an ARRI, get this one first. It has what every one-man/woman-band needs to do their work with confidence. If you’re already a pro, you will love it, and it will make you a lot of money if you know how to use it. 😎 ... show more

  • MaeWood Photography’s Professional A7siii Review
Style: Camera Only
There is a likely reason why they are heavily bragging about the A7siii, and that is all of the other things that come with this impressive camera. I imagine that the first thing most of us will notice is the ergonomics and build quality. Both of which are outstanding. Sony users will feel right at home and with some improvements to quickly adjust your ISO, Aperture, and shutter speed. The menu system is improved and nicely customizable to put whatever you need to adjust the most, right onto the first page. Let’s not fool ourselves; none of the cameras out there have really figured out how to do menus that make us happy. The A7siii has not figured out the magic formula, but it is getting close. I am yet to find a complaint, but I am holding back praise. Once you start shooting, only the most curmudgeon photographer could not express satisfaction at the industry-leading autofocus. Whether using human eye focus, traditional focuses, or the even further improved animal eye focus, the latest Sony technology is an impressive bit of technological magic. The lock on subject settings allows me to track the bride coming down the aisle as she passes the guest and others who jump into the frame. The A7siii sticks with her and does not jump to the new and closer object. Sure this is rather easy during staged shoots on manual, but for the unpredictable one take video situations… highly advantageous. Some other standout advantageous aspects are in the memory cards, batteries, heat management, and 10 bit 4:2:2. Memory cards are getting expensive! Many new cameras only allow expensive memory options. You do need a certified v90 SD card ($100 or so for 128GB) for the 120fps at the highest settings, but 60fps with excellent 4k and 10-bit quality has been working flawlessly with a bargain-basement v60 SD card. That means for most applications, the A7siii is the best option for keeping storage cost manageable and reasonable. Battery Life has been unremarkable, but this is an improvement because more technology and demand are being placed on the camera. Therefore the battery life is lasting as long as typical but getting more out of each drop and with no heat issues. Yes, no heat issues on the A7siii. Personally, most of my video shooting is highspeed and in the desert of Phoenix. August weddings are in brutal heat. The A7siii has no care or concern. One heat warning has been observed, but that was it, just a warning, and this is in the hottest of conditions faced but 99.99% of videographers. The only area where the A7siii does not shine is in the same area all of these mirrorless cameras fall short (in comparison to DSLRs), photos. Maybe it is me, but DSLRs take better quality pictures. Though the DSLR pictures are much harder to obtain because of focus and shooting speeds when you nail a DSLR photo is better than a mirrorless. Still, the A7siii is nearly guaranteed to capture multiple in-focus action shots. The A7siii will be my primary camera for the foreseeable future which is likely to be for many years into the future. ... show more

  • I bought the 2199.99 one. It surprisingly was in fantastic condition.
Style: Camera Only
I purchased a used Sony A7S III, and I have to say, it still holds up as an incredible camera. The low-light performance is top-tier, the autofocus is fast and reliable, and the 4K 120fps recording is a game-changer for video work. Even though it was pre-owned, it arrived in excellent condition, and everything functions perfectly. If you're into video or need a camera that excels in low-light situations, this is a solid investment—even used. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Best Camera You'll Ever Own
Style: Camera Only
There's nothing to dislike, except maybe the cost of the memory card that you'll need to buy for 4k Video... but once you see the video quality you'll forget you spent all that hard earned money. Image quality is out of this world, video quality is the closest I've ever come to broadcast grade and to be honest, I would even say it's just as good. With the right lens you'll be capturing amazing photos in the sun or in low light. It works super well for indoor and outdoor sports, portraits etc. Sony's included software is terrible compared to what you get for free from Canon so you'll need something to go over your images with, Capture One works very well for me. The video format may come out incompatible with your video editor, so you'll want to download an app like HandBrake to convert the files. I use PowerDirector 21 to edit video (won't pay Adobe a subscription). ... show more

Received a used Sony A7S III exactly as described. The camera looks almost brand new with very little to no visible signs of use. Everything works perfectly, shutter count is low, and the condition exceeded my expectations. The seller was honest about the item and packaged it very well. Very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Switched from Canon to this camera and absolutely love it!
Style: Camera Only
I am a true hybrid shooter. Many of the events I shoot go back and forth between video and stills in an instant. Though I loved my Canon gear I always wondered if something else might be better. Well, I took a chance and bought the A7Siii and the GM 24-105 f4, and I am not sorry one bit. For photos, everyone complains it only has 12 mp, but truthfully I haven’t had any issues. I love the stills I get out of this camera. No I can’t crop much in post or print billboards, good thing I don’t do either in my work. And this camera blows my Canon out of the water when it comes to video. I went from cropped 4K and 60fps maxed at 1080p, to amazing 4.2.2 10 bit full frame 4K up to 120fps. So if your like me and looking for an amazing hybrid shooter camera that doesn’t overheat (I was shooting in 100+ degree weather in Florida and never had an issue), this is the camera for you. ... show more

  • Amazing for real estate videos!
Style: Camera Only
I bought the aS7 III this week mainly for the 4K 60fps capability, which is great. But the overall image quality improvement over my A7 III is unbelievable! I work in ambient light and even here in sunny Florida, house interiors can be dark in the middle of the day, even with lights on. I shot a test video in my own home at midday and the improvement in color, brightness and detail was amazing. Really no need to use noise reduction on darker clips, and no noise even at higher ISOs. But what blew me away most was I shot in 4K-60 but exported it in 1080p and didn't realize it. I thought I was looking at 4K. Just stunning results. Best photographic equipment buy EVER! ... show more
