- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018Style: Body OnlySet: BaseVerified PurchaseBest camera on the market right now. Ive been shooting sony since the 1st gen a7 series, going from an a7<a7s<a7ii<a7rii & now the a7iii. Between the first 2 generations there were limitations that i felt yearning for such as longer battery life, dual card slots & better autofocusing in challenging light etc. The a7rii did so much for me & was way ahead of its time but those departments i mentioned were still lacking & i had hopes of them being filled when gen 3 would be released. When the a9 and a7riii released i was excited to know that they implemented those changes but my pockets weren't deep enough to budget for either of those 2. I stayed more focus on the rumors & hopes of an a7iii announcement not nearly expecting as much as what was to come. Sony hit it out of the park and released a camera that blows all the competition away, somewhat cannibalizing their higher end sales, this camera fills in every space i ever wanted in a camera. Granted theres some things that could be done differently, such as better touch implementation & making both sd slots UHS-2, however those may be wants for others but i have no gripe with either of them. For the large majority of people this camera can do it all at a much more (still high) affordable price point. Unless you have the need for 42mp or 20fps than this is the sony camera to get. It has placed my a7rii as my backup camera & am using the a7iii even over it for landscapes and portraits because the color rendition & joy to use has been improved. I can ramble on all day about all the tech features etc, but if you are looking at this camera & on the fence about it, you will not be disappointed.
Pros:
-amazing autofocus that covers almost entire frame
-large battery
-improved color over previous gen
-amazing lowlight performance, better than a9 & a7riii, about as good or better than a7sii in certain modes
-improved ergonomics
-improved menu
-touchscreen focusing
Cons:
-touchscreen limitations, can only be used for focusing
-only one uhs-2 slot
I have attached some images i have recently taken with the camera as well.

Between the first 2 generations there were limitations that i felt yearning for such as longer battery life, dual card slots & better autofocusing in challenging light etc. The a7rii did so much for me & was way ahead of its time but those departments i mentioned were still lacking & i had hopes of them being filled when gen 3 would be released. When the a9 and a7riii released i was excited to know that they implemented those changes but my pockets weren't deep enough to budget for either of those 2. I stayed more focus on the rumors & hopes of an a7iii announcement not nearly expecting as much as what was to come. Sony hit it out of the park and released a camera that blows all the competition away, somewhat cannibalizing their higher end sales, this camera fills in every space i ever wanted in a camera. Granted theres some things that could be done differently, such as better touch implementation & making both sd slots UHS-2, however those may be wants for others but i have no gripe with either of them. For the large majority of people this camera can do it all at a much more (still high) affordable price point. Unless you have the need for 42mp or 20fps than this is the sony camera to get. It has placed my a7rii as my backup camera & am using the a7iii even over it for landscapes and portraits because the color rendition & joy to use has been improved. I can ramble on all day about all the tech features etc, but if you are looking at this camera & on the fence about it, you will not be disappointed.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018Style: Body OnlySet: BaseVerified PurchaseI have only had it for 6 days and, as a lifelong Canon shooter, am still on the learning curve, but so far, I love what this camera can do. Perhaps the biggest surprise so far, is that my Canon glass with the MC11 adapter performs better with the Sony. Case in point is my Canon 70-200 F2.8. On my 7D, this lens only got sharp at around f4.5 in spite of tweaking the focus. With the Sony, the darn thing is now sharp at f2.8 - that's huge for me as I was getting ready to sell this lens and upgrade to the Tamron when they offer their native Sony glass.
Aside from lens performance, high ISO shots are simply amazing - even at 12,800, they are better than 1600 on my 7D - changes everything for me based on what and how I shoot. Though getting used to controls and functions will take a while, I love the customization that is possible and have already tweaked it with the controls I think I will need. Tons of videos out there on how to set it up - take the time to watch a few and it will save you tons of time. Also, don't forget to set up a control button to turn on the APS-C crop, instantly provides 50% more reach at the expense of about 30% reduction in resolution but it beats post processing cropping.
After 8 days in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, I am even more impressed. I exposed almost every shot for the highlights trusting I would be able to bring out the shadows with no noise, I was not disappointed. I have attached an example where the shadows looked black in the viewfinder.
So here we are four years later and based on what I've read about the A7IV, unless you need more resolution, there really is no reason to upgrade as in almost every situation, the III shoots as well, and in some instances, better than the IV. Still a great choice!

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024Style: Body OnlySet: BaseVerified PurchaseI purchased this camera for my daughter 6 months ago on her 18th birthday. She has always been artistic and has had a love for photography. For many years she made do with a basic camera making the best with what she had. I decided to get her an upgrade and she has absolutely run with it. She has a very successful photography business, which she started in high school and she is now able to do everything and more than she could’ve dreamed. I am not a photographer myself, but every time I speak with her, she thanks me for her birthday gift. The proof is in her work every time she sends me samples of her photography. I’m absolutely blown away with the quality of the image and overall product. I’m so grateful that I was able to purchase this camera for her to help her chase her dreams. It is getting the use, and love that it deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great camera
Style: w/ 28-70mmSet: BaseVerified PurchaseA very nice full frame mirrorless camera. Image quality is very decent with a good stock lens, but not with the lens as-bought, that lens is mediocre (took one star off because of that). Image stabilization allows one to take pictures in dim rooms without grain. Eats more battery than a DSLR, but that is common for all mirrorless full frame cameras. Small, light, convenient. Took 2024 solar eclipse photos with it, the images turned out great!
