Product Reviews

Have this for a while a spare camera ( have A9s) I registered it to do the firmware update for ftp . Seems to be issues I tagged 4 pictures to send and the camera try’s to send large numbers of files litterlay hundreds. Seems to be a glitch. Over all though it’s a lot of camera for not much money :)

I have spent ages deciding which Mirrorless Camera to go for having had a Nikon D850. i love it. Like a new phone it takes some getting used to but now I have I am very happy.

My first camera was a cheap DSLR, and before upgrading to the Sony a7iii, I even used a professional DSLR system; but I wish I switched sooner! I bought this camera a month ago and I am so impressed with all of the features of this camera! The Eye-AF is absolutely amazing and a huge game-changer for my business. I'd highly recommend this camera to anyone interested in improving the quality of their photography, who also wants to experiment and try videography too.

I bought this camera after reading good reviews and so far I absolutely love it

I use this camera for video on a gimbal and the auto-focus is great

I bought this camera 2 weeks ago as my 1st profesional camera and I am very pleased with the image quality and all the different options the camera has. One particular feature I am enjoying is being able to control it with my smartphone which it has been great for self portraits. One deciding factor to buy this particular camera was the vast lenses range you can get out there.

Bought feew weeks ago great camera great Pictures and focus

Bought this camera to replace an old Canon and so far I am so impressed with the image quality and settings.

I have had my A7111 for a year now and I am a Sony convert. This camera does everything I need and far more fast accurate autofocus brilliant low light shooting. Even the menu system makes sense now. The camera feels like a quality product and all the controls are easy to use and in the right place .

I bought in Jan 2021 at Sony 313. I very happy this camera

took a while to get use to but once learned the focus system everything was fine

It's early days at the moment, for a reason that I'll explain below. The build quality is first class; it's a solid camera with a great grip and fits my hand well. I like small cameras and this one is really no bigger than my Fuji and Olympus cameras, which is remarkable considering the full frame sensor and IBIS (both of which normally increase size and weight). There are usually several different ways to accomplish what you want to do, which is great as it means you can work the way you want to. There are an enormous number of detailed features and configuration options, improving the scope for creative use of the camera. It's not all good though. I am having real problems grappling with the menu system. It is not terribly logical in its layout and I initially missed a few features because they were either buried in an unexpected part of the menu system or named non-intuitively. For example, to set the format for your photos you go to the Image 1 menu, where you can choose the format and quality. But to set the places where you store those RAW and/or JPEG images you have to go to the Setup6 menu and choose the not-very-obviously named Rec. Media Settings. Another example of the unfriendliness of the menus is how you delete images. In the playback mode you can delete the current image by just clicking the trashcan button. But if you want to choose a set of images to delete you have to visit the Playback1 menu and then work through the Delete options. That would not be too much of a problem if you could assign this Delete menu to a custom button, but you can't!! For me the key to the ultimate quality of a camera is the lens quality. Here I have been disappointed; I bought the kit lens option, and I have not been at all impressed by the 28-70 lens. Fujifilm have been exemplary here; their 18-55mm XF kit lens is a first class optic. I will buy one or two other lenses to see if those improve the results, but the result is that I have no idea how good this camera could be. So at the moment it's a mixed picture; this is clearly a professional quality camera with a galaxy of excellent functions. But it's tarnished by an illogical user interface with a steep learning curve, and an indifferent kit lens. I have recommended this product, but I still have my doubts, which I hope will be overcome in time by experience.

I bought this camera as an update on the earlier model (2) the touchscreen is amazing in helping accurate focusing for example on animals eyes. It's 10+ shots per second burst is more brilliant, indeed it's really helpful moving targets yet the camera. The camera is packed with features yet maintains a really small form. best camera buy yet and photography has been my hobby for 30+ years

After 2 months of use like to compliment Sony on : aa. Extended usable ISO range. bb. Precision auto focusing.

Love the camera but firmware updates are never in synch with the current version of Mac OS, so I can never update the firmware.

Great weight and size for Full Frame. Fast focus with eye recognition

I just purchased this camera for Bussines use and i honestly love it it's only been 10 minutes of use and love how its small and has a lot of functionality for its size, i definitely recommend it for those who are starting in the videography industry

After Canon, Nikon, Olympus gear I switched to Sony. Best what I try. Dinamic range is awesome, focus tracking and many great features.

This camera is the best I have ever owned. I am delighted with its possibilities, although I find it a bit complex for an amateur.

I purchased this product online a month ago. No regrets! I love this product

I am new to Photography and just purchased a brand new A7M3 from legit Sony Dealer B&H on 11/29/2020. Purchased a 24-105mm f/4 Sony lens with it as well and the combination produced some great pictures. However, today 3/14/21 only a little over 3 months after purchasing a brand new camera I got the dreaded "Camera Error, please turn off then on." Unable to fix the issue even with taking battery out and replacing after 1 minute. Took off the lens and saw a stuck shutter!!! I've never dropped the camera and have taken super good care of it. Super frustrating that I will have to send it in for repair after only 3 months of use! Disappointed.

I bought that camera to upgrade my A7M 2. And really enjoy that camera. Focusing fast than A7M2 and battery can last longer than A7M2.

I have put off moving over to Sony for the last few years as my photography friends around me made the move to Sony. I had been shooting with Canon for 30 years. I even brought 3 new canon SLR cameras over the last 18 months and sent them all back as they just didn’t cut it. 4 weeks ago I made the change and invested a big chunk of money into a Sony camera and lens including the 200-600, well I should have done it 18 months ago. It produces outstanding results!

This camera came heavily recommended and seems to be very uncompromised. The menu system could be better for understanding how to get the best out of the camera and the grip is not so comfy, but a great first foray into mirrorless for me!

Still grate camera, and affordable. Very happy with product.

I bought this camera a week ago and i'm happy about it

A very pleasant experience with this hybrid device. I use it for photo and video, for weddings and small commercials, the quality being exceptional.

Sony A7iii - A stellar performer, build quality is superb and definitely feels its worth. Picture quality is what you would expect at this price range, of course much of this is dependent on the lens, but the speed and accuracy of the processor is amazing. My only gripe would be the shutter sounding a bit clunky, but thats down to personal preference and there are ways to mitigate that. Eye AF is amazing as it the AF in general on this camera, its almost as easy as a point and shoot but with professional level quality. Great product!

Had this a month now, really enjoy the product. In the short time I have had this product I have expanded my portfolio massively.

Absolute love the images created using this camera and also the range of rich colors allow me to do nice travel cinematic videos in 4K Quality.

I dropped and broke my a6000 so decided it was time to upgrade , I decided on the a7iii after reading reviews , it’s a fabulous camera , I’m so glad I upgraded

Recently upgraded from a Nikon D3500 and the difference in so many ways is astonishing, so happy with this!

Needed full sensor camera as the cropped A6400 limited wide angle interior photos. The 6400 is a brilliant camera and the A7iii is a great improvement. Videos are almost identical but the A7 can film at 120. So far so good, the kit lens is ok but full frame prime lenses are the best for this. Pics and 4k vids look great on my sony 65inch 4k tv.

For me I've listened to too much hype after my Nikon & Fuji this thing is a nightmare mainly due to over complicated focus screens I've watched hours of tuition and tried every thing I know also bought the 200- 600 I've not got a bird in focus yet at this time I feel I've waisted a lot of money. So I think it's back to Nikon and another 500 lens

Bought this a month ago. Still learning a lot as I had aCanon Eos before. Phot quality is excellent even with the kit lens that came as part of the deal. I’ve not tried it at night though. Nice and light weight and small compared to the Eos.

Check off item on bucket list as I prepare for retirement

I have been using Sony A7iii's for several years now & I have just left a company to go freelance, I bought myself an A7iii as for me there isn't a camera that can compare especially for the price! great features, and great quality. I have used A7iii's for Fashion week in London & Paris, on music tours across Europe. Adverts for major brands and it hasn't failed me once!

Ive only had this camera for 3 weeks, it is an absolute beast.

Purchase camera used, so no warranty. I have had the camera for about a year. It is full feature and takes great pictures and video until it fails. The mechanical shutters seem to fail randomly. If shutter fails in the closed or partially open position your shoot is over if you haven't brought a back up camera. Mine failed with less than 10,000 shutter cycles. Not sure if poor components were used or lack of quality control but it has happened on too many low shutter cycle units. Just google a7 iii shutter failures before purchase. If you do purchase unit it will get fixed under warranty, but multiple failures of the mechanical shutter have been reported. If out of warranty, you will be looking at around $400 US to have it repaired.

Needless to say that the camera is a low light beast, AFC works super reliable, the codecs are hard to read for computers, as soon as it gets to 4k 10bit 4:2:2 FCPX struggles a lot. The tiny flaw is the IBIS, it is by far not as good as the GH5 for example. Sony brought Catalyst Browse out to stabilize footage in post by using the gyroscopic data, well that works, but is extremely time consuming and you have to stabilize one clip after the other, manually! So be aware if you want stable footage it requires a lot of patience and training or get there.

Coming from a Nikon dslr there are quite a number of benefits, wysiwyg being one of them. I would like to have more touch screen applications [ my older Nikon has many more ] I find that the rear dial does not stand out enough, I find myself adjusting the plus/minus exposure rather than the aperture!

I bought this las month and have been really impressed by it

I use it professionally and purchased it five weeks ago and it has paid for itself three fold already

Happy so far and can instantly see the difference in quality over my previous dslr set up. The menus are vast but most of the features you will need are acceptable via the function button on the rear of the camera. Looking forward to trying a few lenses and getting out and about with the a7 iii

Amateur student photographer and this is my first camera. Using it for a mainly video and blogging camera and had good experiences so far with the unbelievable quality of the video. Need to play about with the setting to get more out of it but that will come with the pretty good user friendly screen and button layout. Hopefully it will help up my photography skills with being very easy to use system.

Purchased after having the a6000 for a year and wanting something better and was not disappointed

Purchased this to start my transition from SLT to Mirrorless camera and no looked back. Autofocus so fast & crisp, even in lowish light, nothing trips it up. Using it with a Sigma 100-400 and Sony 28 to 70mm F4 works well so far.

Without doubt the best camera I've ever owned. Formerly a lifelong Nikon fan, but the SONY A7III just gives me everything I need in a compact, light package with no real sacrifices. I also have some beautiful Sony glass to go with it - FE 90, FE 24-105 and FE 200-600.

I've had this a short while so there are still a lot of features to get used to and learn. This camera is phenominal for photography and video. Ergonomically comfortable and button/dials spot on, theres odd positionings you wont be used to but theyre placement is so ideal. Like any camera in this price range it is going to have a lot of buttons and features, and I had been told of the complex menu layout. However, if you dont mind playing about with your camera, learning its features and taking your time to understand some features things will become seemless. At first you thing how and where and after a short time youre switching a setting like changing the gear on a car. I love manual mode, but if im being lazy the auto settings are great and quick to switch between. You have a 1 and 2 dial which allows you to have custom settings (daunting, but really its a doddle and once its setup you dont need to touch it), I use these for video to switch between 24fps and 120fps super quickly without any hassle. I use the 50mm 1.8 lens with this a lot and the autofocus and face recognition is really quick (I used to own a canon with 50mm and its actually a quieter lens, less focus finding, and better image quality). Whats great? Battery life, image quality, ISO ability, video quality, 120fps, audio in and OUT, solid feeling, full frame. What's not?.. no flip screen... the viewfinder (you get used to this when youre looking at the settings, im not really paying attention to the image quality cause I trust the sensor to capture what i want) Now Im not saying thisnis the best camera out there, you have other brands and even the A7SIII with its FLIP OUT SCREEN!! (The only feature im gutted to not have). Find the camera that works for you, but this is a great buy.

i bough this since few month back. overall satisfied with product.

I bought this camera nearly a month ago and it's exceeded all my expectations. The one thing I do not regret buying. There's always room for improvement through but I need to have a little more time with the camera first.

I got this for Xmas. Due to Covid restrictions have only used around local area. It has produced e celle t quality pics and some good astrophotography. Low light capabilities are excellent. Got kit lens 28-70. My preference would be a wider lens for landscape use.

Speedy, Crisp, Sharp aurofocus with exceptional image quality in all conditions ultimately the best camera I have ever had

Took the plung and traded all my dslr equipment and so far so good.

I bought my Sony a7iii January 1st 2021. Everything about it is simply magnificent as expected.

bought a few months ago and so far happy with my purchase

After reading rave reviews online and watching alot of tutorials, I finally took the decision to buy one. I had previously used a Sony NEX-5 just to practice and that was easy to use. When I got my a7iii, it was so easy to set up and the pictures are great quality. I got mine with the kit lens and it isn't a bad lens at all, it takes great pictures. Not only has it made me take more pictures, but it has made me explore more of my local area.

Was it worth trading in my Leica M 240 for the Sony A7 Mk3? You bet it was! The A7 Mk3 is a phenomenal camera. The build quality reminds me somewhat of the Leica Q on steroids, with a far greater flexibility whilst maintaining a compact size. I love it!

Been wanting to get a Sony dSLR A7III since it is being raved by many reviews. I went for the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 over Sony lenses. Personally, I wish the electronic viewfinder is higher in resolution as moire can be observed. I felt the focusing is not as sharp. Do not know if it is the cause is the camera or lens. Still need more time to have a long term assessment, but generally happy.
