Also
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

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
Abstract: We got our hands on the Sony a7 III and tested the S&Q mode (slow and quick). We shot 120fps in HD. We also tested the quick function shooting 1fps. Take a look at the footage yourself to see the quality...
Abstract: We set out to find out how the Sony a7 III does in low light. Starting at ISO100, we ramped the ISO up to the maximum to see at what point noise is introduced in to the picture. Watch the video to get the results...

"Oh dear." is what I literally said to myself while sick in bed at the W Hotel when Sony announced the Sony a7 III. My expression came from watching Sally Watson's Live Stream was more of a commentary on the fact that Sony is calling the Sony a7 III the "...

The Sony a7 III is a well-priced, well-rounded camera suitable for all kinds of photography. Twenty-four megapixels of resolution is more than sufficient for most tasks, and the 693-point autofocus system and 10 frames-per-second burst speed help the a7 I...

10fps continuous shooting, Highly sophisticated AF system, 4K video capabilities
Imbalance with larger lenses, No drive or focus mode dials, Good, rather than great, burst shooting buffer
The A7 III hardly puts a foot wrong. Its specifications make it a terrific all-rounder, one that's so powerful its price is actually a bit of a surprise. Its handling and control layout aren't perfect, and other cameras might grab the headlines in one are...
If you're interested in trying out what a premium full-frame camera is like but don't want to make a huge financial investment just yet, there is really no better place to start than the 24.2MP Sony A7 III. While a few corners have been cut on this model...
Sitting between the Sony a S and R models, the sensor in the A7 was always a balance between resolution and sensitivity, but that's no longer the case. On sensor performance alone, particularly with regard to low light / high ISO sensitivity, the Sony A7...
Our review of the Sony a7 III is well underway and, as part of this, we're publishing our studio test scene. We'll be building out the review in the coming weeks as we test and shoot the camera in a series of situations.The new ExaDrive offers a three t...
