Pros: Image quality, file maneuverability, customization, construction

Cons: Ineffective sensor stabilizer, ISO sealing, shake and of course the menu

Opinion: After years of indecision, on the occasion of the last trip, I decided to return to full frame and the choice fell on this A7RIII(A). I was looking for one thing: image quality. All "modern" technological ammennicles do not interest me. Camera in my opinion built very well, solid and comfortable. It begins to have its years but has nothing to envy to the most modern evolutions, always talking about pure IQ. The generated file is of a crazy elasticity and allows things unthinkable for other cameras. Clearly the weight of the single raw uncompressed is not indifferent but these are things that are already known before buying such a machine. At the iso level I expected a little better, if you want you can pull the neck up to 6400 but we are at the limit in my opinion (and despite all the file remains maneuverable, which is unthinkable for my old apsc) but we are still talking about a very dense sensor. The menus are endless and obviously incomprehensible as per Sony tradition but once mastered you can sew the camera on you and after a long time, I am satisfied with the setting I found. I noticed great ease in generating shake, you have to be very careful. Speaking of the ibis I'm finding it really superfluous. I know that they are not the latest versions but from a first evolution, however, something I expected, instead nothing. Photo shakes at 2-300mm even with super safe times (1/500+) and here I refer to the speech of the shake of before. I really like the viewfinder and it is well readable, I started shooting again from the eyepiece that instead I had completely abandoned on the previous camera (I noticed there is an annoying bug with the switch automatically: sometimes it changes by itself even if there is nothing near the sensor, it is probably too sensitive). You have to get used to the output on the LCD and what is actually the photo on the PC because unlike the usual, the photos seem a bit 'dull on the screen (viewfinder already better), making a direct comparison in the field with Canon R5 the comparison is unequal, Canon in practice already makes you see the post-produced photo in a super saturated display while with this RIII on the field I have always remained a bit 'with doubt about The final result, which then at the PC there is all right. Needless to say, it must be associated with top-level optics. For now I'm having a great time and it perfectly reflects what I was looking for. Rating: 9.

Pros: Crop, rings, dynamic range, customizable keys, battery, materials

Cons: Single AF, ergonomics and grip, menu, touchscreen, ISO, display, 42mpx

Opinion: I will only talk about the cons, as the Pros are too numerous and we already know them all. Used for 2 seasons coupled with a 24-70 ART. It's not my car. I come from an EOS R and I must say that in terms of usability, ergonomics and usability in general there is an abyss. The Sony is very complex and so rich in functions to study in depth that I want to take it in hand. I'm used to Canon and whenever I need any function I know exactly where to go to look for it. The AF-S struggles to focus even in medium light conditions - the focus point on the display is almost invisible - given the density of the sensor at iso 800 begins to appear the noise of brightness - while the AF-C module that works well is really so articulated and complex - ergonomics intended as a handle I found it very uncomfortable. I find the images of this 42mpx sensor really too sharp and rich in detail .. In short, those who like detail and crunchiness, this camera performs an x-ray of what you have in front of your eyes and also allows discreet recoveries in post production. The greatest discomfort that I emphasize is however the grip, which is the most important thing from which you immediately understand the feeling you can have with your travel companion. As for me I pick up my Canon !

Pros: Image quality likely to be at the top even in 2023, incredible dynamic range, construction and EVF compared to A7III, battery

Cons: Menu, disastrous operational slowness and fairly uncertain AF with little light and/or contrast

Opinion: I bought the Riii coming from two smooth A7iii. I was disgusted by the poor quality of viewfinder and display of the smooth version and I looked for improvements in this one. I had it especially EVF side, while the display reaches a "discreet" level but certainly not great. Compared to the smooth version, however, you immediately notice a much better construction, more metal, more insulation, more pronounced keys and more precise rings in the shots. It was a really good step forward. Image quality side the speech is the same. The sensor of the R churns out incredible files, with a crazy dynamic range and a much less "digital" detail than the A7iii. ISO hold for me is identical or even better in the R, scaling to 24mpx up to 3200/5000. Beyond I do not go and even the A7 at 6400 was K.O. without mixing the images with noise reduction. Where I noticed worsening was the Autofocus. It is slower than smooth, hooks less quickly especially with low light and / or contrast. But still advanced to the point that if you can not bring home a result, excluding the photo hunt, probably the problem lies behind the camera. Operating speed between ignition, menu and shooting? As ridiculous as the A7iii, compared to any other camera brand. To give you an idea, any of these timelines are 2 times slower than a 2012 Canon 6D and almost 3 times slower than the Eos R, Fuji X-T4, XH-2. In conclusion, if the experience of using Sony does not disturb you, for me it remains an absolute best buy in 2023 compared to the A7iii and considering that you take it home from 1500 euros down. Try to do better in equal numbers. ;)

Pros: File quality, dynamic range, weight, size, tropicalization, battery life.

Cons: Operating System Speed

Opinion: After more than a year of use, I am very worried from the day I will have to change camera body. For me this is really the top in terms of balance in terms of mpx and file size, but above all quality. I bought it because the 24mp sensors were starting to tighten but I did not want the 61mpx of the rIV series and so I did this test, coming from a7iii. To date I would say that it is one of the best sensors ever produced by Sony, the files it churns out are perfect, the weight is not exaggerated as a 61mpx file and memory cards, but above all the storage space thanks. The main reason why I bought it as you can well deduce is precisely the perfect compromise of 43mp, which I hope will become a standard for smooth series. Doing exclusively landscape I can not express myself on the focus that for me is enough and advances as it is. The ISO seal for me is more than satisfactory, I shot at 6400iso without too many problems. The tropicalization is very reliable, I took it to extremes both in the mountains and during the storms, from which I literally came out soaked in salt water, and in one of which they were literally hit by a wave in full and the car did not do half a tantrum. Corrosion resistance is equally satisfactory if carefully cleaned after the most "extreme" sessions. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect camera for landscaping, as it has all the squares you look for in landscape photography, rows of excellent quality, dynamic range, but above all reliability both in terms of performance but above all in terms of resistance. The only cons is the operating speed. Often the files are in bufering for several seconds, especially if you go to bursts, even with high-performance memories. But what makes me turn up my nose is the slowness in the ignition, a few seconds elapse, and it could happen that in some unexpected situations you lose the shot. In addition, the message "working in NTSC" if they could also keep it for them since it loses additional seconds at the power on, it would be solved using the PAL but I need to keep the machine in NTSC.

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.
