Pros: Sensor , Af , stabilizer, optics , video

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Brilliant machine body and with an infinite battery, I love this machine because it has useful potential for any kind of photos, it is a pleasure to buy good lenses for this body especially some Sigma and Samyang i Gm I leave them to those who have A1 or A9ii, I believe that nano zeiss and 55 are the only exceptions at least for me .

Pros: Lightning fast and precise AF, wonderful dynamic range, ISO seal, file cleaning, customizable keys, autonomy

Cons: EVF not up to scratch, missing charger, slow

Opinion: A choice, that for this A7III, the result of a long reasoning. After years of Reflex Canon I felt the need to change, first in the dimensions and then in the reliability of an AF that with 6D began to stay very tight. It is an entry level only on paper and the definition of the parent company really makes you smile if we think that it is still a machine body of almost 2 thousand € on which the competition has taken a couple of years to bridge the gap. The autofocus, fast and reliable, is in some respects moving: for those coming from the reflex world it is an embarrassing leap forward and allows you to shoot with much more tranquility knowing that you can take the shot home. Raw are of considerable cleanliness and workability and at high ISO allows you to continue shooting when, previously, you had already stored the machine in your backpack. The lens park available is impressive even just by staying in the Sony house, the third-party one we don't really talk about. It's obviously not perfect. Sony has decided not to include the wall charger, which alone costs the beauty of a hundred euros and the solution adopted to charge it via USB-C (whose presence is very welcome) is not ideal in all situations and is significantly slower. The EVF is poor and the opinion on this is shared a little by anyone, fortunately I have not yet experienced eye fatigue. Touch only works for focus area selection, which is a shame because the other flaw of this Alpha is the overall slowness of the interface, a step back from what I was used to with the REFLEX. Despite these sorceress it remains an exceptional machine, even three years after launch and I wish I had taken this step much earlier.

Pros: ISO seal, AF speed, image quality.

Cons: Not excellent viewfinder, touch.

Opinion: I was very uncertain whether to continue on the SLRs or switch to ML. After trying this machine I had no doubt anymore because I fell in love with it from the beginning. It met practically all the needs I needed 3 years ago and still remains today (2021) absolutely reliable and advanced. Shine to have excellent AF, good burst, absurd ISO seal, and remarkable file quality and cleanliness. Not being the "PRO" version, I realize that the viewfinder is definitely a small defect; I would add that I have never been convinced by the touch/non-touch of the Sony screen: I find it limiting. As far as ergonomics is concerned, however, I personally do not find it uncomfortable. Switching from Canon to Sony can initially create some difficulty in untangle on the menu, which is certainly less intuitive than the Canon one, but it's super customizable and it's just a matter of habit. It is a stain that I would recommend to anyone. Maximum vote without a doubt: 10.

Pros: value for money, image quality, ISO seal, video compartment, battery life, key customization

Cons: user experience, OBSCENE EVF, equally obscene display, uncomfortable joypad, chewy and very unseat rings, crazy menus, ridiculous reaction times (lighting, zooming in photos in the gallery)

Opinion: Thoroughly tested in the field for a thousand shots and then resold as fast as possible. Bought to decide whether to replace another machine or not, having high expectations. The machine churns out very good files: photo side excellent dynamic range, excellent iso seal, excellent 4k video side without crop. the face is lightning fast and very reliable, never misses a shot ... But. BUT this sony did not prove to be the miracle I expected from a practical point of view and from the point of view of usability/user experience. The EVF viewfinder is obscene, very undefined, very noisy and with colors that are not at all reliable. After two hours I found my eyes very very fatigued and tired, with hints of tearing (I have no problem with sight). Same speech for the display, very limited in movements and with the same problems. Out of 700 shots, weights and EVF never showed me a balance of white and real colors. The file then comes out perfect, but if you like to shoot like this, glad you! Then we move on to OPERATIONAL SLOWNESS, the machine takes quite a while to turn on, enlarging the photos in the gallery takes a time never seen on a camera. ERGONOMICS SIDE: I thought the grip was small, but with large hands and long fingers this A7III still holds very well, the keys are many and very customizable. Too bad they give bad feedback: the joystick is too small and uncomfortable/inaccurate to use, the rings are super spongy and do not rotate precisely. FINAL CONCLUSIONS: for me this A7III turned out to be a machine that churns out excellent files, excellent videos, which has every technical feature that a professional wants, but has not in the least taken care of the user experience, having turned out to be really un pleasant / intuitive to use, very robotic and tiring in the long run. It's up to you to choose what you prefer, but now any brand comes to similar merits...

Pros: First of all, really great battery life, an epochal leap after trying the old battery on a6000 a7 and a7Sii where it was necessary to have several spares, full customization of the keys, Af c is eye af for my excellent needs, sight I find it good, ergonomics, dynamic range, iso hold, good key feedback, burst although I honestly always used that lowest, silent shot, Q/P ratio, my menu, double slot, construction.

Cons: Screen: here various problems in my opinion I would like a more defined one and that you could open even when we are in portrait mode, full touch as on the S3. Then sensor protection during optical change, have the level and histogram at the same time, mf square not always visible correctly, automatic deactivation oss on tripod, max exposure 30s. Lack of chargers. Proximity sensor viewfinder/lcd too sensitive. Some other details solved with the R4 series such as joystick geometry, sd card order, easy opening of the sd compartment and the wheel lock.

Opinion: After about a year of using the Sony A7iii purely for landscape photos, sporadic portraits and travel photos I feel satisfied with the choice. As you have seen above I summarized the pros and cons where precisely the latter are partly personal preferences and have been corrected in the later models. As I have written in the past I have also used an A7Sii comparing it to the A7iii in the landscape on the same terms and lens I noticed a richer file that of the first, perhaps due to the presence of the AA filter of the iii? Even for high iso we talk about 10k the first even with less mpx has an obvious advantage in cleaning files. It is a machine that has improved all the defects of the first and second series starting in my opinion: from the really generous battery and allows you to make numerous shots, ergonomics, keys and ghiere, introduction of the joystick, usb c, double slot, af finally lending and usable (only problem I had was with the 90 macro trying a little portrait seemed to have gone back , it was the lens because with the others I had no problems). To date, the slow park is very extensive and has numerous alternatives for each type of price and need. Maybe some specialist targets like TS, fisheye and other super canvases are missing, but they'll definitely come as Sony now has a lineup of enough cameras. UPDATE 17-09-2020: During BULB poses around the minute and a half I noticed a lot of hotpixels in the final photo.
