The editors didn't like

  • PSMS kind of a gimmick
  • Fewer AF points than the A9 and A7 III
  • 36-page menu system needs to be simplified (and touch support!)
  • This is probably a camera for the person just getting into mirrorless options
  • But in 2018 folks should've been on the boat already
  • I genuinely think the Sony A7 III is a fantastic camera. Sony describes it as their “basic” option. For that
  • I understand
  • Color rendering on skin tone on the yellow end
  • 24.2 megapixels might leave something to be desired
  • Dynamic range is excellent
  • But not amazing
  • Minimal use of the screen's touch-sensitivity
  • Tilting rather than vari-angle screen
  • Complex menu
  • Screen not true vari-angle
  • Only one card slot is UHS-II
  • No in-body flash
  • Shooting buffer must clear to start video
  • Dense menu system
  • Omits PC sync socket
  • Imbalance with larger lenses
  • No drive or focus mode dials
  • Good
  • Rather than great
  • Burst shooting buffer
  • Not especially portable
  • Menu system is difficult to navigate
  • Electronic Viewfinder Subject to Tearing
  • Only One Card Slot Supports UHS-II Cards
  • LCD touchscreen functionality limited to focusing
  • Subpar weather sealing around accessory ports
  • Only one of the two memory card slots supports the faster SD UHS-II cards
  • Those that need more resolution for detailed scenes or large prints
  • Those that need ultimate build quality for harsh shooting conditions
  • EVF and viewfinder not quite as good as rivals
  • Two SD card slots but only one is high-speed UHS-II
  • Not as weather-resistant as the Fujifilm's X-H1
  • No 10-bit video output like Panasonic's GH5s

  • Great low light images with little to no noise, even at high ISO, 5-axis in camera image stabilization system, Back illuminated image sensor takes fantastic low light photos
  • LCD touchscreen functionality limited to focusing, Subpar weather sealing around accessory ports, Only one of the two memory card slots supports the faster SD UHS-II cards
  • This full frame mirrorless camera has very little going against it: even though some might be frustrated by the single SD UHS-II memory card slot, subpar weather sealing, and inadequate LCD touchscreen, these issues are relatively minor when held up again...

  • Abstract:  There's never been a better time to make the jump to a full-frame digital camera. Over the past few years, models with 24-by-36mm image sensors—the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film—have become more and more affordable. And while the smaller APS-C s...

  • Minimal use of the screen's touch-sensitivity, Tilting rather than vari-angle screen, Complex menu
  • As it was launched in February 2018, the Sony A7 III is getting on a bit but it remains an excellent all-rounder. Its high-quality 24Mp full-frame sensor delivers superb images in a wide range of conditions and its viewfinder and screen provide a good pre...

  • 4K Shooting Mode, Quick Focus Area Detection, Quality Photos Even at High ISO
  • Electronic Viewfinder Subject to Tearing, Only One Card Slot Supports UHS-II Cards,
  • As far as full-frame cameras go you're not going to get much better than the A7 III Sony. Sony has taken the best features from other cameras, like the Sony A7R or the A9, and placed them in the A7III to provide an exceptional mirrorless camera. There are...
