Simply stunning!
Body Only 03 May 2018 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
My colleague and I now have 4 of these which (having transferred from Canon after 15 years) we use in both our studio and for wedding photography and video. It isn’t perfect but it’s close! Stunning autofocus, which in itself is worth the purchase, superb GM glass makes this so sharp you could cut yourself, amazing low light quality and brilliant button customization. The DR is brilliant and with our tests have pulled back from nearly 3 stops!!! All the photos below were taken with 24-70 f2.8 GM or 70-200 f2.8 GM. Improvements for the future: fully articulated screen!!! Brighter screen!!! Improve that menu!!! Give us a battery charger please guys! We all know you may call this the “basic model” but that’s just marketing! This was always going to be a winner with us pros so come on, don’t be tight (I say with tongue in cheek because that price is simply remarkable and can only be to annoy the other market leaders!) :-)

Broken button
ILCE-7M3 / ILCE-7M3K 29 July 2020 by Breanna (USA)
I’ve had this camera for just under 2 years and have always take great care of it. Recently the menu button stopped working and since it only has a 1 year limited warranty I am stuck covering the costs. I’ve been looking online and apparently button problem are very common with this camera. Anyhow, I took it to a local repair shop and they are unable to fix it because the part they need isn’t sold individually so now I have to send it to Precision and hope they can fix it and not break the bank. I am very disappointed with Sony for not being more helpful with what is clearly a manufacturing problem.

Full frame mirrorless from DSLR
Body Only 28 August 2022 by Techno Tony (United Kingdom)
I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago at a very competitive price. Been looking to go full frame and mirrorless for sometime as I had had my old cropped sensor DSLR for about 9-10 years. All the write ups on this full frame mirrorless camera are good and as it is an ‘old’ model you can get at reasonable price. The reviews are correct, it is a great camera although I haven’t taken many shots yet, around 50, but it does take a great photo. Having moved from a different manufacturer to Sony it still feels a bit strange. I would assess the camera 4/5 stars. Now I know that moving from one make to another is always going to be a bit difficult as manufacturers use different systems. However, I do have to say that the menus are extensive and I didn’t find the handbook that helpful. Thankfully You Tube came to the rescue. I have found that Sony have their own training site which I have now started using.

Love it, with a few niggles
Body Only 26 August 2022 by dougbraz (United Kingdom)
Coming from another brand that I could practically set blindfold, I struggled with the menu system on the a7lll (you DO get used to it fairly quickly after some extensive research om the internet) but PARTICULARLY with the video button being so close to the one I set for Back Button focusing (AF-On). I don't use video at all so would like to nullify the video button completely, but that is not 100% possible. Anyway, loving the overall experience - eye focus is simply brilliant!

Couple of weeks with the A7III despite it being a four year old body it feels great only time will tell once I get to do some Husky Racing images with it. Style of menus are a bit tricky but once all the custom options are set up I'm sure it will perform.

Great improvement over the A72
Body Only 08 July 2022 by IanF66 (United Kingdom)
I bought this as an insurance replacement for my damaged A72 and it betters the A72 in just about every respect. The larger grip makes handling the camera easier and the simplified button layout on the rear is welcome. The ability to move the focus point when using spot focusing is enabled full time on the A73 (it needed to be selected each time on the 2) which is a great improvement, though I'm still getting to grips with the focus point selector joystick. Being able to 'tie' the spot meter to the focus point is also really useful. The action of the Exposure Compensation button has been stiffened so it is less prone to moving accidentally and the front and rear selector wheels are more prominent and so easier to find when using the viewfinder. The shutter sound is much quieter than on the M2 and the ability to go to silent shooting has been useful for wildlife work. The longer battery life is an absolute godsend and I have not felt the need to take a spare battery with me at all so far. The eyecup is more ergonomic too and doesn't keep detaching from the viewfinder, as it did on the M2. Image quality is superb and anecdotally, I would rate it as better then the M2. Downsides? The menu system is still quite complex but once set up to your liking, it isn't necessary to go there too often unless you like to tweak a lot - in which case, familiarity would undoubtedly be achieved soon enough. Charging from a computer now takes forever so the mains unit has to be used - this would have been better with a longer cable so the camera doesn't have to sit on the floor during charging; I got round this by swapping the lead for a longer one but feel one of adequate length should really be supplied at this price point. Images below taken with a variety of lenses (24-105G, 70-200G, 90MacroG) though I shoot in RAW and process in Lightroom so not sure how helpful they are in demonstrating in camera image quality!

Recently brought a Sony a7 iii… I was unsure if it would be much different to the current canon 5d iii I have… wow ok ergo nominally it’s not as good imo… but just wow.. take the time to learn to set it up and the Sony quirky menu system and it’s an amazing bit of kit! Wish I’d tried one long ago!

Great Camera with good features
Body Only 02 June 2022 by JaffrinSetsu (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I have been using my Sony A7III for about a 18 months and it does everything I ask it to except Realtime tracking and 10bit 4:2:2 recording. The full frame sensor and IBIS prove their worth is low light and run and gun shooting. Paired with modern auto focus lenses, it is hard to miss your shot. Paired with an almost limitless number of vintage lenses through adapters, this beast is full of endless combinations and possibilities. The A7III could benefit with the upgraded menu system seen in newer models. My unit decided to stop outputting to HDMI roughly 1 month after the warranty lapsed and is likely to cost 1/3 of the camera cost to repair it! Luckily I do not often use an external monitor since it disables subject tracking. Overall I love the A7III and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new camera.

A7iii
Body Only 01 May 2022 by Harold of Kernow (United Kingdom)
I’m really liking my new A7iii, my first step into the Mirrorless world. It’s a really nice camera. It’s can be a little bit weird to get used to, particularly the menu diving, and electronic viewfinder, but photography is really fun and intuitive with it. Not done much video yet. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of this device.

Sony A7iii
Body Only 28 March 2022 (United Kingdom)
After having four previous Sony cameras starting with the A200, I am blown away with the ease of use and performance of the A7iii, I would prefer a more chunky grip, but that is down to also having a A77ii and A99, which are larger, but that is a minor point that takes nothing away from how impressed I am with my purchase.

First purchase of a full frame mirror-less
Body + 28-70mm Zoom Lens 24 January 2022 by Mancave (United Kingdom)
Following an extensive period of researching what I wanted from a new purchase I elected to go with a Sony. I needed a hybrid unit to deal with photography and video output. I was fortunate to get a chat with technicians at Ffordes in Beauly who helped me though the technical issues of what I was aiming to achieve from my purchase. I have had the camera for two weeks and logged over 500 frames and a few minutes gimbal mounted video. I have been very happy at the performance particularly evening and night shooting. The ability to quickly work across the menu to get to the best setting for what I am working on is fantastic. As I get more experience of what the camera is capable of doing the more it is my first choice unit on projects. The images being produced is helping reduce the time to edit as less work is needed to sharpen and present quality content. I am happy with the ergonomics of the camera and find that I have had no trouble getting to a stage operating in darkness and arriving at settings first time.

Body Only 23 January 2022 by DK Solarfringe (United Kingdom)
I bought this at the very start of the year and have not had much opportunity yet to use the camera. However, I have taken it on a couple of test runs and I have to say I am very happy - scratch that - Ecstatic with the results, the photos are always clear and focused. The menu is a little complicated so it is taking a while to learn all the necessary knowledge to get the most out of the camera but as I'm only a month into using this camera I think time will help. I definitely recommend this camera to anyone wanting to get great shots in crystal clear focus. My only criticism would be that I'd love Sony to make the Menu simpler and more straightforward.

I have to say, it’s every bit as good as expected and I’ve been really pleased with the battery life, picture quality and ease of use (once I got used to the menus as they’ve quite different to Canon’s). The size and weight is a huge upgrade when compared with older generation DSLRs too.
