While its good that the A7 III has so many customisation options
Some of them are confusing. And although Sony has made improvements
The extensive menu could still be better organised

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

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...
Abstract: Around the $2000 price point you'll find flagship APS-C and Four Thirds cameras, built for speed and durability. You'll also find a handful of full-frame ILCs and DSLRs, with their own unique selling points. In this buying guide we've rounded up all the c...
Abstract: Most modern cameras will shoot video to one degree or another, but these are the ones we'd look at if you plan to shoot some video alongside your photos. We've chosen cameras that can take great photos and make it easy to get great looking video, rather t...

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...

Abstract: The end of 2018 saw Canon and Nikon introduce their first full-frame mirrorless cameras, with Panasonic on the verge of joining the party. This brought an end to Sony's five-year term as sole mainstream purveyor of this type of camera and set out each com...
