Pros: Image quality, weight, versatility

Cons: High ISO hold, video compartment limitations, uncertainties focus at night, unclear menu

Opinion: It is a respectable mirrorless. Great construction, excellent quality of RAW files, almost always accurate AF and speed of execution make this camera a good travel companion. However, the limitations are met if you want to push yourself in the video department. The 5-axis stabilization is not that miraculous in fact the freehand videos are still very flickering. It is no coincidence that the most advanced Mirrorless and dedicated mainly to the video world have an additional digital stabilization function that is called "Active Mode" and that does small miracles (accepting a small crop). Limiting even 4k to just 30 frames per second. So no slow motion for those like me who are crazy. Working in nightclubs such as discos or following musical events I also found them limitations of tightness at high ISO. Noise, noise noise and just as much nervousness, nervousness, nervousness. It is true that on the plate I put more against than pro but I repeat that it is a really good camera and those who do not have the same needs as me will find in their hands a reliable travel companion and that can give great satisfaction.

Pros: Raw file quality, dynamic range, Af, operating speed, ISO yield, battery life, burst

Cons: menu

Opinion: Huge step forward compared to the a7r II. Incredibly fast considering the weight of the file it generates and has to handle. Dynamic range, resolution, colors and autofocus excellent. Very valid also in the video sector, knowing how to settle (it would seem that in video mode the file suffers from noise at high iso more than in photo mode, but this could be just my impression). The display and EVF are also a significant step up from the a7 III or a7r II. Compressed Raw seemingly indistinguishable from the "pure" one. If used for full-bodied work (marriage) the weight of the files becomes a real problem to be managed, but this is certainly not a defect attributable to the machine. As a result we are very close to a medium format, but with an operating speed of a medium/ high level mirrorless!

Pros: The "perfect" camera: Exceptional resolution, Excellent Af, interesting hold at high iso (despite being a 42mpx), good video compartment, Dynamic range and versatility in use. Great best buy for those who do not want too many MPX from modern and advanced models

Cons: Some uncertainty about the AF sector (especially in the Real Time track af.), the useless pixel shift and chaotic menus.

Opinion: You know, perfection is not of this world. But this camera is one of those that deserves the attention of pro photographers and super advanced amateurs. As a former owner of the sony a7R2 (great mirrorless but with many flaws), the sony a7RIII is the camera I was waiting for bringing those improvements that were missing in the r2, from aesthetics to decisive quality. Needless to say, four years after the announcement this ml is still the best in circulation and for what it offers it is an excellent best buy for resolution, price and versatility (in my case I take care of landscape, street, travel, documentary photography). It is true that there is also the R4 that offers much more than this model (more resolution and a bit of improved af), but who really needs 61mpx? Without offending anyone I think that with this you have a lot of fun, remembering that 42 mpx although they are many are perfect for image quality and dynamic range, but above all it has an excellent hold at high iso, sometimes I took even at 3200/6400 and the photo is usable at 1000x1000. If you know how to exploit it right, it gives you many joys. I conclude that 2 years after the purchase, the a7r3 personally is the "perfect" camera for my way of creating stories and today it is at "human" prices of what was launched. and with native optics (GM and G) or adapted fun and creativity is guaranteed...

Pros: AF, File Quality, Body, Battery Life

Cons: Menu (you know), maybe viewfinder

Opinion: I have this machine for a few months, passed by Fuji and Canon before. I think it was my worst experience in the study phase and knowledge of the menu (which basically is the step to do to get to know the machine). Let's say that after customizing the controls and my menu and understanding the various main functions regarding the AF and the shutter I reached a comfort-zone and I can take advantage of the machine more than pleasantly. Undoubtedly Canon and Fuji offer an experience from this point of view, more streamlined and intuitive. For the rest the body is really robust with the controls positioned in the right place. The sensor guarantees an excellent file, manageable and pleasant to develop. Actually the very large file, on high volumes, requires a pc of a certain level. I am satisfied with the possibility of taking advantage of equipment of which targets, flash and accessories, of third parties. Perhaps I would change it for an A9 for the presence of the additional ring for the rest I would call it DEFINITIVE.

Pros: AF, burst, image quality with a great sensor

Cons: Menu, small body, power button position, operational slowness, high ISO noise (but you knew), deformed edge viewfinder, lacks focus stacking, pixel shift useless

Opinion: I owned this camera for over 2 years, then I decided to sell it because despite having a great image quality I just couldn't find myself comfortable. A little for all the Sonys in this line I noticed the same problems, I always lacked that feeling that gives me the pleasure of taking photos. The power button then positioned that way more than once moved itself into the bag and I found myself with the camera off. The pixel shift is practically useless because it always creates ghosts, better the single image. In addition, the very contrasted and above all deformed viewfinder at the edges is not the best, looking inside and moving the eye towards the edges you notice a very strange effect. Ok now written so it looks like a camera to throw away and it's not so because everything else does it very well both photo side and video side of which I'm not an expert but I enjoyed shooting something.
