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

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

We loved the A9 (and still do), but wondered whether the A7R III was the better choice given its potentially more flexible combination of high resolution and high speed… after all, not everybody needs 20 fps, but then, let's be honest here, nor does every...

Until now, Sony has been the only mirrorless camera manufacturer to offer cameras with ‘full-frame' sensors; but that's about to change. On 23 August Nikon will unveil its first mirrorless camera, which will have a full-frame sensor and a new lens mount...

Fast accurate photography, superb sensor, excellent exposure tuning
Display screen not touch sensitive, few trick modes (eg. time lapse, stop motion), slow battery charge
The Sony Alpha7 III is for the discerning still photographer who wants the quality of a full frame digital camera, without the price tag of the 40MP models.Sony's website for this camera is here...
Incredible value, Excellent image quality, Good for video, Speedy autofocus and tracking
Small physical buttons, Battery life could be improved
The A7 III manages to pull off a lot of technology and desirability in a body which costs less than £2000 - an excellent price point for dedicated enthusiasts. While when the A7 range came out there wasn't much in the way of a lens selection to work with...
Excellent value for money, Improved battery stamina, Fast and responsive autofocus system, Revised button layout for intuitive control
AF point illumination could be improved, Convoluted menu system, Thin plastic port covers aren't weather-sealed, Handles poorly with large gloves in cold climates
Simply put, the Sony A7 III is the finest example of the most affordable full-frame camera on the market. It's a sensational camera for the money and compliments the ever-evolving Sony A7-series quite brilliantly...

693-point AF system, 10fps burst shooting, Uncropped 4K video, 15-stop dynamic range, 5-axis image stabilization, Compact and durable body
Limited touchscreen control, Only one SD slot supports UHS-II cards, Slight 'tearing' in EVF, Poor weather-sealing round accessory ports
While the Alpha A7 III can't quite boast the sheer breathtaking performance or resolution of its pricier siblings, it's a brilliant camera that will tick a lot of boxes for many photographers. Sony has taken some of the best bits from its flagship Alpha A...
