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

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

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

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

Abstract: When some companies launch a "basic" model, they usually have no frills and are kind of boring as they want you to pay more to upgrade. I don't even think they want to sell the basic model sometimes, it's just so you can compare the more expensive one to...

Limited use made of the touch-screen, Complex menu that could still be better arranged, Only one SD slot is UHS-II compliant
Although it has the same pixel count as the A7R II, the A7R III makes some significant improvements upon its predecessor. The handling is much improved by the addition of the Multi-Selector (mini-joystick) for setting the AF point, and the addition of the...

The new Sony A7R III might not be as groundbreaking as its predecessor but it's still one of the best cameras—mirrorless or otherwise—we've ever tested. The biggest difference between the A7R III and the previous model boils down to one main thing: speed...

Abstract: On paper, Sony's $3,200 full-frame mirrorless Alpha A7R III is a beast. With an ultra-high-res 42.4-megapixel sensor that can shoot bursts at 10 fps, you can capture landscape photos one day and sports the next. It also handles video like a boss, recordin...
Stick with lenses sold by Sony, be they branded Sony or Zeiss, for the best results as you expect. Sony's G and GM lenses are especially excellent in every way on the A7R III.Adapting lenses of other brands, even though these lenses may be state-of-the-ar...
