Pros: All those already mentioned in recent years ...

Cons: Sensor that tends to capture dust

Opinion: Absolutely reactive machine, an autofocus at very high levels (AF system that over the years has made school), ENVIABLE AF-C, exceptional face tracking, it is absolutely a mirrorless still performance, has held an excellent market value, the only drawback if we want to say it all is the very exposed sensor, so pay attention to dust, quality and workability of excellent files.

Pros: General quality of the camera, of the files it produces (even compressed raw), a very full-bodied JPG for those who need it, manageability, autofocus, high ISO seal, in my opinion it has written a page of recent history in the mirrorless field.

Cons: Electronic shutter unusable in many areas.

Opinion: I have this room since 2019, it has made about 1 million and 500 thousand shots (I filled a dozen hard disks) now has various stripping and scratches, it has also taken some blows, but it has never given me problems, I think it is a perfect work tool considering the purchase price. It uses two SD slots that don't cost a ruckus and thus allow me to work with simultaneous backup, without worrying about the number of cards I fill. It is very light and after 12 hours of service (here weddings last a long time) it makes the difference. It has beautiful raw files and with compressed raw you can hardly find the differences, so if you need to save space, you can rest assured of using them. Electronic shutter, obviously totally silent, but the limits of the sensor mean that you can almost never use it, too bad, because in the A9 I always use it. In conclusion: for what is my experience, I consider myself 100% satisfied, when I bought it had no equal in its segment, and even today for those who work there in my opinion it is the best choice, with a right expense you have a professional tool that allows you to deliver excellent photos and leave customers satisfied (especially that almost all of the latter will never notice the difference of a final shot made by an A7iii or a 5Dmkii); that's why I prefer it and I still consider it a valid PROFESSIONAL choice compared to other more modern cameras.

Pros: Overall file quality, easy handling, battery life, value for money, build quality

Cons: Unclear menus, inaccurate displays and EVF.

Opinion: Net of the absolute value of a product, it is also necessary to contextualize the moment in which it is considered. Even today the a7 III is one of the best full-frame mirrorless on the market and between cashback and price drop following the release of the a7 IV, it is almost mandatory to purchase also and possibly as a second camera body, but considering that it is still a respectable and very valid machine. Display and EVF really poor compared to the competition, do not do justice to the raw files (or videos) that you can admire once sitting in front of the PC. Dynamic range and rendering at exceptional high iso, and the famous Sony colors (often criticized regardless of personal tastes) resume a different verve analyzed at a professional monitor. Valid AF, especially if the machine is coupled with native Sony lenses, less convincing with other solutions or with various adapters, but I must take into account the fact that I come from a Canon 1dx Mark II which is a flagship, while the a7 III would be an entry level in the full-frame field. The famous Sony menu, so brainy and sometimes Machiavellian, can be approached in a decisive way by exploiting the "my menu", but in general it is a machine that must be studied well before being used, mainly in the video field, where it behaves in an excellent way as long as you "do not make mistakes" and establish a feeling that leads you to know it thoroughly in order to exploit and appreciate a final file that is not excellent if you look at the data on paper, but very fascinating if managed optimally. Reference machine in its range.

Pros: Size, weight, file quality, Full Frame almost top in its industry.

Cons: Cumbersome menu, display and EVF behind competitors. You have to learn how to use its technology to make the most of it.

Opinion: When I decided to switch from Reflex to Mirrorless I immediately thought of Sony and consequently of this camera, chopped and trimmed on the net with hundreds of reviews. Not being a professional and for how little I have taken in the last three years I can only confirm that it is a really well made, fast and Responsive machine, the focus is crazy (for those like me who had Canon 5 series ..) and does not miss a shot. Excellent also the quality of the file (but personally inferior to the "R" version) and the workability, as well as the seal at high ISO (which in my opinion is still inferior to the canon SLR bodies I had - 6d and 5dmk3). I did not appreciate a cumbersome menu even if customizations come to help. Certainly it is not a "point and shoot" machine, its technology must be managed to be able to exploit it and appreciate its files.

Pros: Machine value for money TOP of the TOP, Holds very well the high iso

Cons: Ergonomics, unmessed menu, more, optical viewfinder

Opinion: Coming from Canon SLRs I must say that the handle of this mirrorless is a bit uncomfortable but you get used to it. Very high performance on almost all fronts. At high iso it works very well and on the market has prices that do not fear any competition. A machine to have if you already own a fleet of sony Emount optics. Hardly with the IV they will do better.
