I was looking for an upgrade from my dated Mavica FD5, DSC-F717, & a350 gear. My research resulted in either the a7iii or a7Riii for my personal camera needs. I ended up deciding on the a7Riii (ILCE7RM3). Upon receipt and initial setup, I found this model camera is absolutely a "beast". The metal case feels very solid in the hand. The menus are easy and intuitive to navigate. So far the images captured are absolutely stunning and solidify my decision to upgrade to more modern features and capabilities. Thank you Sony!

Purchased along with a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8. Probably the best tech purchase of the last 10 years. I?m just now getting into photography and am already moving up from a Nikon D5600. What a difference! With barely any skill my photos have gone from okay at best to practically perfect. I spend a little time in post, but honestly the pictures are brilliant as they are. I primarily shoot at small events for my wife?s work. Group portraits, candid dinner shots, people dancing, essentially the equivalent of 50 person weddings. This camera performs expertly and makes me look like a semi-pro. I still need learn a lot about low light photography and composition, but this camera makes it a joy. I whole heartedly believe the cost is worth it, and wish I had held out for the refresh.

I am a physician by profession but take photography as a passion. If you are an advance photographer my review might not help you. I got the camera from adorama with a package. I was using Nikon system but one of my friends suggested to try out Sony mirrorless system. I bought Sony a7iii first used it for few days then realized the beauty of megapixel in landscape photography. Went to a nearby store and try out the a7riii. Basically you ll not feel a difference in the camera screen apart from a slight better quality in a7riii but when you put it for post processing you ll have the joy of the details you can see with the massive 42 megapixel. I have been using it only for past 15-20 days but i am really impressed with the quality and strongly recommend it. Another benefit over other mirrorless is sony and other third party have a huge lens selection. Planning to buy few good optics soon.

The Sony A7R III is an awesome camera system. You can get detail review on YouTube, so I am not going to say too much about it’s various features. I am going to give you my experience with the camera. I have two kids, and I mainly use the camera to take pictures of my kids. -1- Weight I used to have Sony A6000. One of the reason that I don’t want to switch was the weight. I carry my camera and run around with my kids, so weight matters a lot. And I am no Dwayne Johnson, so I don’t have the muscle to carry anything heavy. However, putting a prime lens on my A7R iii, I don’t feel my camera is much heavier than my A6000 with a prime lens. So this is not an issue for me. -2- Geotagging. This camera can geotag my photos for me. This was the feature I want for my A6000. This is awesome because I don’t have to remember where the photo was taken. However, the app is not as intuitive and reliable as I would like. -3- Autofocus and tracking The autofocus on A7R3 is much better.

Adorama is the best. You don’t have to worry about the products when you buy from here. Great customer service, flexible refund/ return policy. I’ve bought my first Nikon D3200 from adorama and bought D750 and bunch of lenses and accessories, never had a problem. When I ordered my Sony a7riii after 3 days it went on sale so I called them and they got me the new one and refunded the other one in this way I saved $500. Thanks adorama for being the best.

Great package since there are a bunch of extras for the same price as the just getting the camera body. The SD card reader unfortunately does not work with the 64GB SDXC card that comes with the set, but since it is basically free, it's hard to complain. Everything else is very useful for someone just getting started.

I was going to go for the A7R4, glad i held back and went this route. No need for such big files until i feel the A7R iii is not enough. Stunning images from the A7R iii, better landscape type images than on my A7 iii, better richer color rendition, sharpness clarity is stellar. Low light it can not match my A7 iii, but does a great job considering 42 MP. Menu's are not much different than my A7 iii making it easy to use. I am really looking forward to doing some big prints from this camera. The Shinobi monitor really helps big time in manual focusing, also a great product all around. Very happy with both.

The Sony A7riii is a wonderful camera! Easy to use, menus are similar to other Sony cameras so it was easy to navigate through them and find what I needed. Photos are wonderful from this camera. Tried some low light photos at a rally where the light was from one strobe source. Had to set the ISO to 10,000. The photos were flawless even at that high ISO setting. Outdoor scenery… wonderful! Very pleased with this purchase and all of the useful items that came in the bundle!

This camera allows silent shooting at up to 10fps* with AF/AE tracking. Silence is critical for shooting wildlife, when even slight noise can mean missing a chance at an ideal shot.
*In continuous "Hi+" mode, and up to 8fps in continuous "Hi" mode. Maximum fps will depend on camera settings. A software update may be required for some lenses. Refer to the Sony support site for compatibility details.
**Approximate number of effective pixels
AF performance is improved by inheriting the AF performance used in the α9 and applying it optimally, so once the α7R III captures a wild animal that moves unpredictably, it won’t easily let it go.
399 phase-detection AF points covering approx. 68% of image area width and height plus 425 densely positioned contrast-detection AF points* improve focus that might otherwise be unachievable.
*Increased from 25 contrast-detection AF points of a conventional model.
Thanks to much more responsive, enhanced Fast Hybrid AF, AF speed is up to approximately two times faster under dim lighting conditions.
*In low light conditions. Compared to the α7R II. Sony test conditions.
The AF algorithm inherited from the α9 accounts for two times more precise* AF tracking for continuous shooting, even of complex or sudden movement.
*Compared to the α7R II. Sony test conditions.
Advanced AF algorithms contribute to high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3*, for more reliable autofocus in dark scenes.
*ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens, in the AF-S mode
New multi-selector, AF-ON button, and touch focus functions make focus operation quick and intuitive. With built-in dual slots and compatibility with large-capacity rechargeable-battery NP-FZ100, the α7R III also ensures that you can shoot with far less interruption, because you won’t need to change media and battery as frequently.

a7R III 35 mm full-frame camera with autofocus
An entirely renewed image processing system further enhances image quality. Up to approximately 2x improved AF speed, AF tracking, and Eye AF tracking performance and up to 10fps continuous shooting allow more decisive moments to be captured. Reliable pro-style operability packed within a strong, compact body provides superior flexibility and mobility.
Back-illuminated 42.4 MP full-frame sensor
The 35 mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS image sensor features 42.4-megapixel resolution, back illumination and gapless on-chip lens design for extraordinary sensitivity and dynamic range, anti-reflection (AR) coating on sensor seal glass, and other innovations that unleash the sensor's power to make images look realistic.
Further enhanced image processing engine
The latest front-end LSI makes data readout from the image sensor approximately two times faster and the BIONZ X image processor is now about 1.8 times faster. Enhanced image processing realizes lower noise and further extended dynamic range across a wide sensitivity range of up to ISO 32000 (standard ISO, expandable to ISO 50-102400 for stills). Moreover, upgraded Detail Reproduction and Area-specific Noise Reduction achieves noise reduction - equivalent of approx. one stop - in mid-range ISO settings. Also, reproduction of skin color has been dramatically improved, which is advantageous for portrait shooting. The a7R III also supports 14-bit RAW output even during silent shooting/continuous shooting.
A quantum leap in AF performance
An evolved image processing system and a9 camera. AF algorithms optimized for the a7R III improve AF speed, precision, and tracking performance. 399 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points provide high-density wide-area coverage. Up to approximately two times faster AF speed and two times more precise AF tracking performance let you capture and maintain focus on nimble wildlife in unpredictable motion. The a7R III also autofocuses reliably down to EV-3 brightness.
Eye AF with doubled tracking performance
Eye AF's enhanced precision, plus two times greater AF speed and AF tracking performance2 further assist you to easily shoot a portrait of a moving subject using AF-C even during continuous shooting, and even if the subject looks down and away from the camera, or is backlit with face in partial darkness. The a7R III's E-mount body supports Eye AF for A-mount lenses7 mounted via an adapter.
Focal-plane phase-detection AF supports A-mount lenses
Phase-detection AF can operate even when an A-mount lens is mounted to the a7R III via an LA-EA3 adapter that doesn't include a dedicated phase detection AF sensor. The 399-point focal-plane phase-detection AF system provides wide-area coverage, fast response, and high-performance tracking whether an A-mount or E-mount lens is attached.
Up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking
With new shutter unit and image processing system refinements, the a7R III can shoot continuously at up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking (up to 8fps with minimal display lag in live-view continuous shooting mode) for easy, stable shooting of even intensely active subjects. An electronic shutter allows silent, vibration-free shooting of wildlife when even slight noise can mean missing an ideal shot.
Up to 76 images in continuous shooting
Greater buffer memory, system speed, and UHS-II support allow the a7R III to capture up to approx. 28 uncompressed RAW, or 76 compressed RAW or JPEG images, in a continuous burst at 10fps. Fn menu/menu display access, setting changes and review playback can occur during data writing. A countdown of the number of still images remaining to be written to memory is on display during playback.
AF-ON button and multi-selector
The AF-ON button activates autofocus without any half-press-shutter-button focus sequence, so you can concentrate better on exactly when to release the shutter and capture the moment instantly. A multi-selector lets you shift the point of focus quickly and efficiently. You can select and shift the point of focus intuitively, so you won't miss great chances to shoot moving subjects.
Anti-flicker shooting
Flicker from fluorescent and other artificial lighting is automatically detected and shutter action is timed to minimize the flicker's effect on still images. This suppresses exposure and color anomalies at the top and bottom of images shot at high shutter speeds, as well as exposure and color inconsistency between continuous shots, so you can take images indoors with more confidence.
In-body 5-axis image stabilization with up to 5.5-stop shutter speed advantage
Now more effective than ever for the a series, this comprehensive system compensates for five types of camera shake that tend to blur images: pitch/yaw shake when shooting at longer focal lengths; X/Y shake in close-up (including macro) shooting; and roll shake when recording stills at night and movies. It effectively achieves 5.5-stop-faster shutter speed, so the a7R III can take full advantage of its 42.4-megapixel and live-view image performance. Furthermore, it functions with A-mount lenses attached via mount adapter, as well as E-mount lenses.
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting opens a new world of resolution
Applying mechanisms and control technology of image stabilization, this new feature composites four separate pixel-shifted images that contain total data equal to approx. 169.6 million, or 42.4 million x 4 (RGGB), pixels to reproduce a single optimal still image of super-high resolution, detailed texture, balanced color, and realistic atmosphere, with minimal moire and color artifacts. Images shot using this feature can be processed with the new Sony imaging software suite. The image sensor is moved in 1-pixel increments while shooting four sequential frames. Each pixel represents R, G, and B information.
AE precision that's faithful to a photographer's intentions
A 1200-segment live-view exposure analysis makes color analysis and metering precise. Focus information from the lens keeps AE control and image brightness consistent even when subject position or background brightness changes. Highlight and Entire Screen Average metering modes now join the a7R III's Multi, Center, and Spot metering modes. When the Focus Area parameter is set to Flexible Spot or Expand Flexible Spot, the metering spot can be linked to the focus area.
Dual slots with UHS-II compatibility
This camera provides two media slots for SD card (UHS-II-compatible for fast data writing) and SD/MS card, respectively. Two cards in the slots can be used to simultaneously record or relay record data, separate RAW data from JPEG data, or stills from movies, and copy data from one card to the other. The memory card cover is lockable to prevent it from being opened unintentionally.
3.69-million-dot, high-luminance Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder
This approximately 3.69-million-dot Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder provides accurate detail, contrast, and black reproduction, while maintaining natural image brightness. High-quality mode, suitable for fine focus adjustment, takes full advantage of rich image data from the image sensor to display more natural high-precision images with minimal moire and jagginess, so you can concentrate more on shooting. Furthermore, you can choose 120/100fps from the selection of frame rates for the viewfinder to make motion look particularly smooth. Only an EVF such as this one could offer features such as a powerfully enhanced focus magnifier that allows autofocus while a chosen focus area is magnified in the viewfinder.
Touch screen LCD for intuitive focus operations
A 3.0-type LCD touch screen with 1.44 million dots makes focus operation intuitive and instant. You can simply touch the monitor screen to specify a desired focus point with Touch Focus. Also, the Touch Pad function lets you drag the focus frame to another point with a fingertip on the LCD screen as you monitor the shot through the viewfinder.
Shoot for more professional lengths
For extended periods of confident shooting, the NP-FZ100 battery has approximately 2.2 times the capacity of a NP-FW50 battery, and an optional VG-C3EM Vertical Grip can hold two batteries. USB Type-C and Multi/Micro USB ports allow external mobile batteries to power the camera for extended recording. Even more conveniently, accessories such as a remote control unit can be used via Multi/Micro USB port while power is supplied via USB Type-C port.
Highly durable and operable in tough conditions
The a7R III functions reliably in challenging environments. Its body is fortified by lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover. The number of lens mount screws has been increased to six for enhanced durability. Major buttons and dials are sealed. Sealing is provided throughout the body to minimize entry of dust and moisture.
Smooth PC tethering via USB 3.1 Gen 1 port
A USB Type-C port supporting fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 facilitates high-speed PC Remote transfer of large RAW data files, so you can quickly review images on a PC and continue shooting without delay. Also, a setting to transfer only JPEG files to PC lets you check images via PC even more quickly after continuous shooting because the camera doesn't have to send big volumes of RAW data.
