Pros: AF, Impressive image quality, Dynamic range, Better stabilization than R3, Improved ergonomics including joystick, Weather sealing
Cons: Heavy files, high ISO maintenance not optimal, Monitor, AF Wildlife tracking not very accurate
Opinion: Coming from the younger sister Sony A7RIII, I found small general improvements, both physical on the body, and software such as the much improved AF on the human eye lock. The biggest difference for which I chose to upgrade was for the sensor which is monstrous, both for image quality and for dynamic range and shadow and highlight recovery, in case you made a mistake in setting some parameters before shooting (here Sony predominates over most six competing FF sensors). Ability to crop drastically in posts is a MUST. The viewfinder offers greater optical performance and given the greater number of focus points, making a mistake in the static shot or with slow movements is unlikely. Conversely, with fast-moving subjects, in non-optimal light conditions, often the subject remains out of focus 4-5/10 shots (yes there are A1, A9 and blah blah) but being still an all-rounder photographic camera, my considerations cover the entire photographic range. With the correct light conditions, however, it excels, but not in the gust. Then the usual solfa about the non-articulated monitor, the complicated menus etc make it identical to the other Sonys of the past. I have often used it in the rain in parks, woods, mountains, sea in all kinds of weather conditions with strong wind, consistent rain and it has never missed a beat. Summing up, I am fully satisfied to have had it with me for 3 years, as far as the photographic performance and the sensor coupled with the GMs are concerned, you will not be wrong. I still recommend it for those who do portraits and landscapes and can't spend on a VR that I currently use (which in my opinion is the game changer compared to the RIII) |
