    5 out of 5 stars

    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 ability3. HLG color space, no overheating4. 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 criticalThe 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.

    Compared to the 2 Canon DSLRs I have owned in the past, it blows them out of the water in terms of auto focus speed and accuracy. For low light, I've never seen anything like it in the consumer market, not counting the A7s ii which I haven't tried yet. The version that I bought came with the kit lens and it's performance is fine. It's not the best to use for the ultimate low light capabilities, but it's reliable enough. Interestingly enough, the kit lens even has firmware that you can update. I have successfully used my Canon glass with it using a Simga MC-11 adapter. The Canon 17-40mm f4L and Canon 70-200 f2.8L focused quickly. My Sigma 8-16mm lens focused well, though it's meant for APS-C sensors. Oddly enough my Canon 50mm 1.4 paired with the A7iii and Sigma MC-11 takes about a minute or two before the aperature control is functional but once it kicks in, this combo turns night into day. I also use a 35mm 1.8 OSS Sony lens that I used with my a5100 and even though it puts it into APS-C mode which sacrifices quality, it's still good enough.

    I can even use my Canon 580ex ii successfully with this (manual mode/no HSS) with a Fomex flash trigger.

    The reason I bought this however was for video. 4k is stunning, though I have to say, plan for paying a but extra for a UHS-II card to get it to work. The S&Q setting is nice for switching over to slow-mo very quickly.

    The menu system is a bit much but at least it includes a lot of features that are missing with Canon. Battery performance is quite incredible.

    Overall, I can't see why this camera wouldn't satisfy most pros unless they work in a harsh environment in which case, the weather sealing probably won't be enough. The compact size of it though is nice when you don't want to draw attention.

    I moved up to the A7III from the A7II. It is amazingly better. Eye focus is dead on, and high ISO photos are very good, especially with the 85mm f1.8 lens.

    I almost bought the A7IV, but the vast difference in price made me decide for the A7III. I am mostly a stills shooter, and video is of secondary interest. The photos, especially the portraits, from this camera are wonderful. I own older Fuji and Canon cameras and have done some good work with them. But this Sony A7III produces portraits that are razor sharp and beautiful. You have guessed that I am very pleased.

    I purchased this camera for my daughter 6 months ago on her 18th birthday. She has always been artistic and has had a love for photography. For many years she made do with a basic camera making the best with what she had. I decided to get her an upgrade and she has absolutely run with it. She has a very successful photography business, which she started in high school and she is now able to do everything and more than she could’ve dreamed. I am not a photographer myself, but every time I speak with her, she thanks me for her birthday gift. The proof is in her work every time she sends me samples of her photography. I’m absolutely blown away with the quality of the image and overall product. I’m so grateful that I was able to purchase this camera for her to help her chase her dreams. It is getting the use, and love that it deserves.

    The Sony a7III is a great mirrorless camera with access to many entry level to professional lenses. Great all around camera.

    The sensor is high quality for photos and video. The sensor is great for shadow details and great dynamic range. 24 megapixels is a perfect size for many applications. With 24 megapixels you can still crop in as needed.

    At 10 fps it’s good for kids sports and catching action shots. 2 SD card slots are nice. The battery lasts, but good to have extras.

    This is a great entry level and beyond. Many professionals use this a d have it as a backup.

    Highly recommend for the price and performance.

    A very nice full frame mirrorless camera. Image quality is very decent with a good stock lens, but not with the lens as-bought, that lens is mediocre (took one star off because of that). Image stabilization allows one to take pictures in dim rooms without grain. Eats more battery than a DSLR, but that is common for all mirrorless full frame cameras. Small, light, convenient. Took 2024 solar eclipse photos with it, the images turned out great!
