Product Reviews

I bought a camera to develop my camera operator skills and it was the best choice

i got this a couple of months ago to make online content with. before this i was filming and take photos just with my iphone and what a leap its been its a great camera for the price super sharp sensor pretty decent low light although there is quite often a purple tint in the dark which is a bit anoying but yeah if your in the market for a camera deffinetly consider it if you want a camera thats super simalar but has better color science and auto focus and that is geared more to filmmaker 1st then check uot the sony a7c

I have had this camera for a few weeks and it continually overheats when used as a webcam. I have it connected to a power supply to make it ready to go for recording YouTube videos, but I am lacking confidence.

Haven’t used it much but first impressions are that it is a great step up from my previous camera

Good features,Good autofocus,quality really good. Complicated menu,wish ergonomics would be better. Good in low light situations what is perfect for me for night street photography.

The thing that I like most about this camera is the low light performance.

I AM HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING! IT'S SO GREAT TO HOLD AND USE GREAT QUALITY

It's ridiculous after just 57k shoots the shuter speed dorr its block and because it's out of warranty i need to pay around £500 for this service. My question is. After 57k shoots i need to pay again £500 to change my shooter speed?

I am really happy with my purchase. The pictures and video come out perfect.

Always wanted a full frame camera, I was not disappointed camera performs very well and very easy to operate.

I’ve watched, read and heard loads of reviews about this camera and decided to buy it as I’m starting my own photography business. 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.

I bought about a week.its very good fast camera but batter backup is not good .otherwise all othe is perfect.

after one less of one year , i m very happy with me sony A7R iii.

Amazing camera, Very well built and is brilliant..

I used to have a slr camera and have been using a bridge camera in recent years until I wanted more so purchased this camera based on the hood reviews.

I think 4k/60fps specs could be done with update and Too bad there isn't 10-bit color

I have owned this camera for nearly 2 years now and I have found it to perform excellently both for still photography and video. I primarily use it for wildlife photography and usually have it paired with the Sony FE 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens which offers excellent results. The autofocus is fast and reliable with excellent low-light performance. I would highly recommend this system for multiple uses.

Relatively compact body with low noise sensor and a very good AF. I bought A7 III to replace my A 7 II and this was a really good move. Image quality in poor light is noticeably better, camera fits in my hand better and the battery lasts much longer than the previous model. AF vaslty improved over the previous model. I like this S&Q feature - not a "must have" for the photographer but it's a good replacement for the time laps (also built in) if you're not keen to spend time on post-processing.

Bought this camera almost a year ago very happy with the picture quality and the ease of control the menu system is a little tricky but soon able to get used to Enjoy!!

This is an amazing camera with incredible picture quality and auto focus. This camera has so many amazing features there are too many to list here. Do not hesitate in buying this camera, it has a great range of lenses on the E mount.

The Raws and Jpegs are not as good as I expected. When I first heard about this camera I was fascinated, but I don't find the image quality that good. I've been using it with a sigma 85 1.4 dg dn and a sony 35 1.8 and neither deliver the quality I expected. Unless something is wrong with my camera... Don't get me wrong, I like the camera, but I expected more quality of image...

I initially moved from an entry level canon to the a7II and started to learn the settings slowly when I had time to practice... I then got into videography with some friends when 4K was popular so I purchased the a7III... I've come a long way since and still learning the settings and customisation options... bought some GM lenses too and really enjoying the results of my work

After a long debate with myself I decided to move from Canon full frame cameras to a mirrorless system. I looked at all the options and took advice from industry experts as well as other photographers. It was finally after speaking to Mark at Sony that I took the plunge into full frame mirrorless with the Sony A7 mark 3. What an amazing camera! Superb autofocus and incredible low light performance (I shoot live music events) and at a fraction of the weight of my Canon kit. I can still use my Canon lenses (with an adaptor) but the quality of the Sony glass is also superb. I highly recommend the Sony system.

I bought this because of a recommendation from a Sony user, and found it to be excellent, thr quality is better than the Nikon camera it replaces, but I find it a bit complicated with all the controls, menu options but I guess I'll get used to it in time.

Good quality camera, but overly complex menu system that requires too much investment of time to learn your way round properly

Brilliant camera. Have been using Nikon DSLR cameras for around 10 years but this is something else! It has relit my passion for photography and is currently used as my main body. Obviously the next step would be to upgrade to an A7RIV, but this is an all round fantastic camera. I would’ve rated 5 stars if an update could be launched so that the sensor could be covered whilst changing lenses. I would recommend for an amateur photographer taking that next step.

Fab camera that is always up for it. Great scaling up from the Nex system, with the same controls so easy to adapt to and start using quickly.

I just bought it and am so happy. For the cons - 1. Unfriendly menu when coming to select settings. Appreciate if Sony can provide a new firmware. Is there any? 2. On/Off button is a bit problem some to operate while holding the camera.

Bought this camera 9 months ago after extensive research. Wanted a lighter mirrorless camera. Have been a Canon user for almost 40 years. Made the switch to Sony,. Very happy with the results too.

I brought this back in January, to replace a Canon 5D mkii. Good points: Focusing is fast and spot on. Stabilization is very good indeed. Picture quality and noise are excellent. Personal: I prefer optical viewfinders. Its not as egonomic for me. Menu is a fiddle! Bad points Colour rendition, its not as good as the Canon, particularly reds and flesh tones.

I only owned this lens for a few months as I was considering getting into macro work . Cracking lens and super sharp but in the end macro or portraits are not for me. I traded it in against the Sony 70-200 G OSS

I previously had an entry level Canon but moved up to the A7iii as I wanted to take my photography to the next level. So far it has delivered and the change to Somy was quite easy (with patience!) - the biggest challenge I’m having is getting used to all the additional functions and flexibility it offers. A number of reviews say the menu is complex but I don’t find it to be (and there is a customisable option to add the menu option you use the most). Also the battery life is much better than earlier versions The only small frustration I do have with it is that my old Canon had an automatic sensor cleaner every time you switched it off. The Sony doesn’t so I spend more time (v carefully!) cleaning the sensor to remove spots on images.

Good features and easy to use, got used to the menu system quickly although different from my old Nikon. Find being mirrorless an overall advantage from DSLR system. I particularly enjoy using the manual focus which is easy and accurate to use, auto focus quick and easy. The Fn button on the back I have setup with my frequently used features and that is really useful to quickly change settings.

Just wish I upgraded to this camera earlier. Detail is far superior to my A77m2, which I found to be very good.

Bought the body 18 months ago, its only had light use around 15000 exposures, mechanically excellent, electronics fine, . The camera is let down by poor handling and ergonomics it requires a grip on the bottom but the real let down is the build and applied finish which is wearing off .

Had this some 18 months now. Cant really fault it. Sony lenses are nice but too expensive. I migrated from micro four thirds, and in some ways I regret it. Mainly because full frame lenses are much bigger, resulting in a heavier package. Shadow recovery and low light performance is better, but in my experience the difference is not as big as reviewers would have think. I have not used it for video. Also not having a flippy fold out screen is a pain. Why dont Sony do this? Its so usefull in many ways.

I bought this about a year ago and it’s still amazing in 2021. I would recommend to anyone who wants to take high quality photos and videos.

A came across from an old Nikon D9 DSLR. I accept technology has moved on. However the difference is immense and the quality of the photographs is considerable. Love shooting in low light scenarios and I’m capturing more.. it has re instilled my interest in photography

It has been a pleasure working on the camera , Still learning but enjoying it everybit

it would be great if it had an in-camera double exposure feature that other cameras from other brand on the same price range provide. It could easily be developed and pushed through an update.

Kept it a week at most , Hated the plastic computer feel of it , Gone back to my Trusty Nikon & Lumix

For me, this is the perfect camera. Compact from being mirrorless, with excellent control, focusing and image quality. Menu system and touch screen could be improved

Love it, I use it most days for filming for work. Mainly static tripod work, it it easy to navigate and adjust settings and gives fantastic results. The only downside is the covers for the ports. Because they're so close together when you're using power, audio and external monitor cables, it gets quite crowded with three covers that can't be removed.

Even to this date, this camera is more than you need for professional photography! The low light performance is astonishing - I FILMED the milky way in 4K and was my mind was blown how it can see more than your own eyes! The only problem that constantly bothers me is that they didn't program the front curtain to closed when the camera is off - meaning the full frame sensor is open to the elements when changing lenses and is a huge dust magnet so requires cleaning monthly (weekly if you're like me who does astrophotography as dust spots are very noticeable). So light and compact with a battery life that I have only ever needed 1 battery for (can also charge on the go). Would probably say this is the best camera out there for this price range if not more. 'Good' for 'Ease of Use' as settings can be fiddly/confusing 'Good' for 'Sound Quality' as cameras never have the best sound quality anyway as they rely on external mics - still usable.

I purchased a Sony A7iii with Zeiss 55mm lens at the end of 2019 and have used it extensively for 4k video, alongside my Sony A6300, Canon and Osmo Action ever since. The A7iii is the most cinematographic of my cameras, producing very romantic, high quality almost three dimensional video images that are distinctly better than other cameras I have ever used. It has a reasonably good focus (but I do sometimes put it in manual) and fantastic bokeh. My other Sony and Canon cameras will briefly overheat in long shoot hot conditions, the A7iii keeps going and is the most reliable. However the A7iii with Zeiss 55mm does generate a little noise focusing (not much just a little) and is a little heavy, these are the prices to be paid to achieve such high quality images. Whereas the Sony A6300 has the fastest focus I have ever used (I never put it in manual), seems absolutely silent, totally convenient and lightweight and it is not so far behind the A7iii for high quality 4k video.

I bought this Camera 2 years ago in 2019. I am still in love with it, especially for photography. As for video, heating is an issue. I want to share a few pictures from my A7iii.

Very good all round camera. One criticism is the USB connection: the plug is loose in the socket and only fits with the flap covering the socket hanging down - if you put the camera on its base on a table top the flap will break off.

I take good images by accident rather than design and the 7Riii helps me by doing most of the work with its oh so clever focus modes. I tend to crop images heavily in post so chose the high resolution sensor specifically after trying 24M APSC and FF cameras and not liking the cropped in results. I have small hands and comments from other reviews about the camera being “hard to hold” or “uncomfortable” has not been my experience. Small enough and just about light enough with the 24-240mm lens to carry about for hours as a do it all landscape/wildlife/action/people/aviation/sport device and I really wanted a single lens/camera solution after years of swopping lenses had got very tedious - it fits into a 3L Peak Design sling bag for discreetness too.

First Sony camera with the 200-600 lens. Struggled with AF and also sharpness of photos. Upgraded to the A7Riv and improved AF but not sharpness. Sold A7iii and sent lens back to Sony to check ( thanks to Harrison Cameras UK ). Sharpness is fantastic now.

I made the switch from Canon to Sony A7III and I'm very happy that I did! It is the best camera I've ever have. Easy to use and with great features!

Love the a7iii!! a couple things i would change.. thew cheap plastic port covers.. one has broken in half.. flip out screen but you guys already new that.. thanks for the great product

Loving all of the photos that this thing can come up with. Great with the underwater casing from sea frogs.

I got this model as an upgrade from the original A7. Focus is significantly faster, eye tracking is very accurate defaulting to face tracking if eye is not detectable. Colour accuracy is the same as the rest of Sony cameras I've used, more or less, as I need to do some corrections as usual in Lightroom. Video is significantly better, 4k capability, an upgrade from 1080p on my previous one. As it is E-mount it can use all my previous lenses and adaptors. Lightweight and more compact than other it is perfect for travels. Another convenient factor is the fact that it has 2 SD card slots. Usb-c makes transfer significantly faster. Connection to mobile through app is very convenient to transfer photos, edit and share immediately. Can be used as webcam and charged at the same time if one is interested in live streaming or video content creation. Doesn't overheat while used for extended amount of time: 1+h. If you are familiar with other Sony cameras then the menu is the same, no ore complicated or better than before.

I have had this camera 10 months and my photography has improved dramatically thanks to versatility of this camera.

I always been Nikon shooter but when decided it's time to grow more and move from crop sensor to full frame was deciding between another Nikon and this Sony. After good consideration of all + & -, Sony won. Since first picture I took with this camera it never let me down and always amazes with its features.

It’s sad to see that Sony had to have a Class Action Law Suit to replace the faulty Shutter Mechanism. The rest of the World has no option for failing cameras.

Ok, so let’s be honest, when it comes to the Sony a7iii, the information is rife and YouTube is full of honest, unbiased opinions… right? Well, no, that’s not right at all. Being a cinematographer, I thought I’d give this product a look and see what all the hype is about, and honestly, I was left hugely underwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good camera, but is it worthy of all the recommendations? Hell no! First and foremost, why people think this picture camera is a choice they should be making for video is beyond me. I cannot lie, if you want an average stills cam that punches below its price point, the a7iii should be your choice, but if you’re buying this because Sonys marketing team have pulled at the nipple of nearly every tech youtuber, shame on you.

I switched from my A7Sii primarily used for filmmaking. The A7iii was familiar and easy to use and I'm so impressed by the colours you can get from the camera.

I was recommended this prodict by my local camera supplier as being an upgrade from the Nikon DSLR I had been using. However, from the moment I first started to use it, I found the auto-focus to be totally unreliable. It is no way as sharp as my old Nikon and it usually focusses on the wrong subject within the frame. The definition is poor as well when cropping. I find that so much detail is lost, even when cropping a small amount. This is a very poor camera in my opinion and I have been shooting with a mix of DSLR cameras for over 40 years now.

I bought tree years ago in the USA. Specification about languages very bad( not the same like it was declared in Europe). Menu in terrible!!!!!!!

Been using this since Xmas’20 and I can’t fault it. The quality is incredible and it has really sharp focus. Has definitely helped improve my photography.
