Pros: Battery, programmable keys

Cons: Menu, electronic shutter, app

Opinion: From the a6000 to this one, one of the notable differences was the battery. I took it on a whim, but also to be able to use my old lenses. I'm quite happy with it, both for portrait and macro. In macro, the articulating screen helps, but only if you shoot horizontal with the a7III (changed to a7IV). Also, for remote shooting, better to get the Sony remote since their app, I don't know what it's called now, is a bit enigmatic and a bit disconnects every now and then. Perhaps a very personal opinion: the menus of the a7III are a factory of degradation (but even with the new menu of the a7IV you lose patience!). Menus give anxiety. Then, there is the electronic shutter that makes the lines with some lights: a bad surprise the first time. Got second-hand for about €600 in 2024, maybe I could resell it today (2026) at that same price, to replace it with one that has clearer menus, a screen that helps with vertical shooting.

Pros: Compactness, dynamic range, high iso holding, double slots, double rings, continuous autofocus.

Cons: Limiting viewfinder.

Opinion: It is a splendid machine companion of many adventures for 8 years now, usable in many fields .... excellent continuous autofocus that has held up well to the passage of time. Robust, I fell .. no damage, excellent ISO hold to date 24mp still valid if you don't need to crop, excellent raw quality very workable, on recoveries I do not express myself because I am for optimal exposure .... but if you happen to have to open a shade, no problem. It is a mirroless so you have to adapt it to your ergonomic needs, personally I equipped it with an original sony accessory that increases the height of 1cm the grip and I am fine, like all equipping it with adapters it can work with vintage lenses and the results are good, personally I would have preferred an automatic magnification of the focus point but just configure a button in manual. The only real flaw is the viewfinder, it is not remotely comparable to reflex vision, perhaps the definition or who knows what.... But what you see is not what you shoot, better to use the display or even configure the double save RAW + JPEG and set in BN, you have more control. Quality materials, taking into account the years that have passed I would buy it again.

Pros: Excellent AFC autofocus, battery life, excellent ISO capability, dual slots

Cons: Somewhat awkward grip with heavy optics

Opinion: I use this camera exclusively for wedding photography and I am fully satisfied with it. I only use the autofocus in AF-C and it's more than enough for my workflow and the high ISO hold continues to surprise me: in certain situations I shoot at ISO 12,800 without any problems. The autonomy is exceptional: I often cover an entire event with only two batteries, returning home with the second still halfway through. The gust is also great for ceremonies. The only trick concerns the electronic shutter: Rolling Shutter and Banding are real risks, but with a little attention they are managed well. The menu is complex and unfortunately the Italian translation is not very precise, which does not make it intuitive. However, thanks to the custom page and numerous programmable physical keys, I rarely find myself having to navigate through the settings. At the current price of around € 1,200, at least for strictly photographic use, I think it is one of the cameras with the best value for money on the market.

Pros: Wide availability of lenses; compactness; image quality.

Cons: Mediocre stabilization; Good ergonomics, but not great

Opinion: It is a milestone. More than 7 years after its presentation, it still has its say in the photographic field. The autofocus can't compete with the latest releases, but it still allows you to use it in AF-C with excellent precision. The menus are a bit convoluted, but with use you get used to it. The sensor has a very low noise, with the result that the sharpness is appreciable even in situations of less than optimal light. The optics are remarkable and you can find excellent third-party lenses at more than reasonable prices. Not very suitable for amateur videos, as the video quality is good, but the stabilization is only mediocre.

Pros: Sempi Pro body, very good high ISO resistance, price, wide range of lenses available (as for all Sony) excellent price resistance.

Cons: Sony menu, autofocus absolutely not up to par.

Opinion: I have been using this camera for a year and a half (it should be specified that I take 99% photos and almost 0 videos). I came from Nikon d7200 and later d750 (which I think is the best reflex ever produced in terms of quality price). Wanting to switch to mirrorless and considering Nikon not yet mature in this segment, I decided to throw myself on sony and as characteristics the A7III was the one I considered most suitable. The camera body is well made and I felt quite good in it. The customizations are endless. In environments with low light it performs well in terms of rendering in files, although I think that the autofocus is somewhat to be reviewed. Used both sony and third-party optics. For landscape photography it is certainly a fantastic camera, if you start doing some events then things change. I often found myself having to struggle with unresponsive focusing. Even the menu in my opinion needs to be revised as the Italian translations leave something to be desired and I often used it in English. For the rest, in terms of ergonomics I also found myself quite well despite not having small hands, just get a little hands-on. The files are very good and workable in post. It is an excellent machine and for those who do not have to do high professional work I would say that it is perfect. Today you can find it new at a great price (for the features it has it is perhaps one of the best) if we then enter the world of second-hand we are even under 1k euros which is a bargain.
