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.

Pros: Light body excellent focus for me is also very handy and excellent customization excellent colors

Cons: For the time being, no one

Opinion: Well what to say the use for services in the studio and weddings a body machine that did not make me regret the 850 and with art work in a wonderful way, when I switched to sony I had taken it immediately for naturalistic where I did not mind but the r4 with pixels and with the excellent yield in crop factor to make the r3 become a body for the Matrimonialist kit and in naturalistic use only in very few excellent moments the yield to high iso compliments to sony

Pros: File quality, dynamic range, ISO yield, AF, battery life

Cons: Complex menu, rear LCD

Opinion: I bought this camera after so much hesitation. I came from 6 years of Fujifilm X-T and then X-H and you can easily imagine that the early days were very frustrating starting from the "ease of use" that Fujifilm gets used to, immediacy and colors. On the other hand, however, I have to say that after two or three months of running-in, I am now satisfied with the choice that has been made. In the quality and malleability of the file compared to before there really is an abyss. The EVF viewfinder is on another world, the idem battery. Logically it is a different machine and needs very good and expensive optics but if photography is your job (or second job) I can confirm that the security that returns this machine is really worth all the money spent.

Pros: Files with excellent quality, dynamic range at the top, excellent ISO yield given the sensor density, very advanced customization possibilities (keys and rings), excellent ability to focus on backlight, good IBIS (5.5 stop), possibility to set ISOs at 50, really competitive price for the quality it offers. Machine dedicated, in particular, to landscapes, portraits posed and in the studio, travel reportage, ceremonies, laid birdlife, and architecture. One body for very heterogeneous genres.

Cons: The consistency of the AF, however good, is not in line with the latest competition (Canon R5 and R6), the AF area does not cover 100% of the frame, the point of non-colorable gray MAF is absurd, the sensor not protected by a curtain is, for my use, a little limiting, the Joystick is short, the lever is not perfect , the pusante AF-ON I preferred it slightly deeper, a better touch would have been comfortable, the rear LCD of the A7rII returns colors not pleasant and very far from those of the RAW file downloaded to the PC, the EVF is good but not great, very noisy shooting, writing time on the SD card (also UHS-II) long. Like all big MPXs, it needs valuable optics. Not particularly suitable for "dynamic" birdlife and sport.

Opinion: After these first two months of use I can draw up an initial assessment of this splendid machine. The first impression, taken in the hands of the A7rIII, is solid, the construction is excellent, returns safety the keys are easily reachable, I do not miss the top display (I do not even own it on the R6) I miss the Fuji rings (but I do not even have them on the R6). The customization of the machine means that once you set the rich menu and dedicated the keys and rings to the personalized controls you will hardly need to return to it. The first caveat: the rear LCD is bad and does not do justice to the viewing of the images taken that, at first glance, will show a certain "flatness" and unreal colors but, once you return home and download the RAW, you will see on the PC a really different result and, finally, you will enjoy the beautiful details that this machine knows how to capture. What about the famous A7rIII sensor, is it as good as they say? I have to say yes, the sensor is splendid and the file of incredible malleability, in post production allows you, really, to do a little bit of everything that comes to mind thanks to the wealth of information it brings in dowry. This sensor is, if not the best, among the best sony has ever churned out, the A7rIV has more detail but I chose the A7rIII because I find its 42 MPX ideal for my photography and because I find its sensor more "balanced" than that of its older sister. The sharpness of the images and the low noise (for a 42 MPX sensor) make this machine ideal in many contexts, from landscape to posed portraits, from architecture to travel reportage while a good but not excellent AF module, should suggest to those who practice sports and / or birdlife not laying another body in Sony. I refined this machine together with a small "important" FE kit (24 GM, Voigtlander 40 1.2 and 135 GM) to my Canon kit focused on two 20 MPX machines (1ds3 and R6) and I must say that I am extremely satisfied, the A7rIII is, as rightly recognized by most, an excellent machine and again (in the genres I have detailed in the current "pros") and its sensor is still, decidedly, a reference.

Pros: All

Cons: Maybe less battery life than the A7III

Opinion: I start that I bought it for treat because I could very well keep the A7 III smooth that was more than fine , having said this I noticed some positive and other negative things ;compared to the little sister 42mpx against 24 do not change life but help for the greater resolution and in case of wanting to make some crop a little more pushed, the battery life seems slightly less in the duration ,the viewfinder is of higher quality, the touch screen makes c.... and on both, the iso seal is excellent but slightly less than the sister probably due to the greater amount of mpx (still on excellent levels) weight and size seem slightly larger on the R but slightly,Pixelshift present on the R while on the smooth it misses that anyway I still have to try ,etc... as far as I've had the opportunity to try it so far I'm fully satisfied but if one doesn't have many pretensions the smooth version is already great of hers and definitely costs less than this
