  • 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
  • I'm expecting these issues to be addressed by the Sony A7 IV
  • 24MP full-frame BSI sensor

  • Excellent autofocus
  • Sharpest 4K video of any Sony full-frame camera
  • Double the battery life of the last model

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

  • The Sony Alpha A7 III might not have the highest resolution, fastest shooting speed or best video quality. But by borrowing features from the flagship A9 and A7R III, it's uniformly excellent at everything.Shooting speeds are quick enough for nearly every...
