Photographers looking for a versatile tool for a wide range of subjects in a compact package
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
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. It's battle of mirrorless versus DSLR.The A7R III offers fractional image quality improvements over the hard-to-beat A7R...
Phenomenal image quality in almost any situation, Extremely fast and responsive, Compact, lightweight design with well-placed controls, Superb electronic viewfinder, In-body image stabilisation gives sharper images with any lens
AF area is invisible when moved using the joystick, Rear screen only tilts up or down, Handgrip too close to the lens for shooting with gloves
Quite simply, the Sony A7R III is a ludicrously brilliant camera, and one of the very best on the market...

10fps at 42.2MP, Advanced 5-axis IS system, Large and bright EVF, Fast AF performance, Improved handling
Battery life could still be better, Limited touchscreen control, Only one SD slot supports UHS-II cards
If Nikon thought it was going to have things all its own way with the D850, it should think again. Sony has taken one of our favorite mirrorless cameras and bolstered the performance to make the new Alpha A7R III a much more capable and well-rounded offer...

Sony has taken one of our favorite mirrorless cameras and bolstered the performance to make the Alpha A7R III a much more capable and well-rounded camera. We can't wait to get our hands on one for our full review...
Abstract: The full-frame A7R models are Sony's image-quality flagship cameras; the A9 may be the speed demon, but the high resolution, antialiasing-filter-free A7R series rules Sony's roost when it comes to tonal range, sharpness, color fidelity and other important...
The Sony Alpha A7R III is easily one of the best cameras you can buy at the moment. I think we are slowly coming to a point where professional cameras don’t need to be traditional full frame DSLRs. The time of the mirrorless camera has truly come and the...
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...
Abstract: This mirrorless full-frame takes its predecessor's superb resolution and throws in 10fps shooting too – amazing!OF course, it was bound to happen. We knew Sony had the technology to combine high resolution with high-frame rates from the moment it laun...
Abstract: VerdictThe A7R III is so powerful and versatile that it seems churlish to criticise it at all – but we are going to knock off half a star for its troubling body-lens size mismatch, and 530/650-shot battery life, which is good for mirrorless but poor nex...
