As I mentioned earlier
The sensor has a front-end LSI and this helps double the readout speed
Which is good news for focusing. In fact
Sony says that the A7R III can focus around at about twice the speed of the A7R II in low light. That's music to my e
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!)
Subject tracking could be better in some situations
Only one card slot supports UHD-II
Can lag when writing
Especially after continuous shooting
Buffer can get in the way of shooting
Main menu overly comprehensive and not user-friendly
Touchscreen f
I really wish that Pixel Shift images didn't need to be edited in Sony's own software
Sony has this weird problem where you'll tell it to white balance to one temperature but then it imports at another
Only one card slot supports UHS-II speeds
No built-in flash
Can't start video until image buffer is cleared
Dense menu system
Limited touchscreen control
Battery life could be better
No XQD card slot
Expensive
Menus still confusing
UHS-II support only on one card slot
No optical low-pass filter means greater risk of moire
Buffer clearing still slow despite UHS-II support
Buffer clearing can be slow even with fast UHS-II cards
No losslessly compressed RAW option
Dedicated battery charger not included
Menus are still confusing
42.4MP image sensor offers great resolution and dynamic range
Increased overall speed and responsiveness
Vastly improved battery life
Dual SD card slots
Meaningful ergonomic improvements such as AF joystick
Abstract: Before I go into this, I need to make a few things transparent. I'm the type of photographer who's leaned more into my photojournalism roots recently. I don't like doing a lot of photo editing. And that's fine. If you're the type who wants something perfe...

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...
Abstract: That's why the newest addition to the Sony Alpha series is so conversation-worthy. With the 399 focus points on the Sony a7R III, and its ability to track focus like no other, the company touts it's hard to get a shot that's out of focus. This camera is...
Abstract: Well, it's on.With the Nikon Z7 and Canon's EOS R, two companies have risen to challenge Sony's solo dominance of the full frame mirrorless market. While we haven't had extensive time with the Z7 or EOS R yet, here's how they compare to the a7R III on p...
Abstract: Trotti has spent her entire 10-year photography career shooting with Canon, but recently got the Sony A7R III and wanted to integrate that camera into her workflow with the Canon glass she already owns. This is a similar boat to that which many photograph...
Abstract: Well, it's on.With the Nikon Z7, another company has risen to challenge Sony's solo dominance of the full frame mirrorless market. While we haven't had extensive time with the Z7 yet, here's how it compares to the a7R III on paper. (Read a full review o...
Abstract: Sony A7R III edited RAW night shot (@1000 ISO, f/2.8, 10 sec) Even at -15 degrees, the Sony A7R III doesn't hesitate for a moment. For almost two years, the Sony A7R II was at the top of our list of camera reviews, until the A7R II was dethroned by the Ni...
Abstract: Three of the most talked about full-frame, interchangeable lens cameras of the past year, undoubtedly, have to be the Sony A7R III and A7 III mirrorless cameras, and the Nikon D850 DSLR. While we've reviewed all three models at Shutterbug, we haven't done...
Abstract: We got our hands on the Sony a7RIII to see what it could do. We shot the camera in beautiful Sedona, Arizona. Watch the footage to see for yourself...
