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
The α7R III was recently announced as the winner of this year's Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for the Best Professional High Resolution Mirrorless camera so it should be no surprise that we've nominated it for an Editor's Choice award. Th...

A great camera with a few flaws that has really taken it up to the big boys in the top end full-frame DSLR market. Has every right to be considered a major contender by anybody looking to move into high end hardware. Will convert some pro photographers to...
Abstract: For three years now I've been using the Sony A7S as my primary camera. It's compact and it's incredible in low-light, but in certain regards the camera is starting to show its age and doesn't really fit all my needs: It's limited to 12-megapixel photos, a...

Sharp images with plenty of detail and exceptional dynamic range, Much improved new battery with 650-single-shot-life, Lovely electronic viewfinder, Very respectable high-speed performance, Customisable 'My Menu' for direct access to most used controls
Still takes a while to work your way around the camera, LCD touchscreen lacks some functionality, Some buttons/dials are not the easiest to control, Still uncomfortable to hold with larger lenses
In terms of all-round competence, the Sony A7R III goes head-to-head with the Nikon D850 as the best full-frame camera money can buy. Indeed, the Pocket-lint team, alongside a panel of judges and the public voted it the best camera of 2018 in the Pocket-l...
The combination of 42.2MP, 10fps burst shooting and a very sophisticated AF system makes this a very attractive camera indeed: Sony has taken an already excellent mirrorless camera and made it even better.This is a camera that's as happy on a mountain as...

Limited touchscreen control, Only one SD slot supports UHS-II cards
When you look at the camera you get for your money, it's hard not to be impressed by the Sony Alpha A7 III. With a wealth of advanced features, the A7 III is likely to appeal to many photographers looking for a well-rounded and advanced full-frame mirrorl...

Fast burst mode and autofocus, Superb all-round video and still quality, Lengthy battery life
Large body by CSC standards, Screen tilts but doesn't flip
Despite its relative newcomer status to serious digital photography, Sony has made huge strides to catch up with its veteran rivals – and the A7R III is testament to that. Taking all the good bits from previous A7 models (the OLED viewfinder, solid build...
