Great Camera

Camera is great. Upgraded from an A99ll. Same performance, lighter weight for carrying around on day trips and I can use the Sony Lens adapter with my old A mount lenses. Only problem is with shipping/package quality. UPS delivered package with hole punched in outer shipping box and inside bubble wrap was totally collapsed. I contacted Adorama and they were very helpful. They offered to accept a return but I checked out camera and it functioned properly with no internal or external damage.

Hobbyist looking for the ease of use, size and portability of a Sony RX 100, though, having the quality and flexibility of a full frame DSLR

With the release of the mark V version, Sony offered a great rebate on the mark III version. As a hobbyist, this is more than enough camera that I will ever need. If I had waited for the used market to respond, probably could have gotten an even better deal. I am upgrading from an old Nikon DX camera APS sensor and a Sony rx100 mark 1 (was using the sony much more). I felt it time to re-energize this hobby. I became interested when I notices the Sony RX1 cameras, full frame, small size. My interest is portrait (family, pets, and friends), street and travel. I bought a couple Samyang lenses (35 mm f/2.8 and 45 mm f/1.8); affordable and small with the 45mm having some great reviews. I also bought a Voightlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.2 on the used market (great deal). The theme here is small, very good quality and a bag that I will use. The Sigma Art and Sony GM look like great options, but, I am deterred by their size, weight, and price tag. These are more for the pros, wedding, etc. I also picked up a used Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8.... The flexibility, quality, and ease of use will challenge my current default use Sony RX 100 or my cell phone as my go to camera. I look forward to grabbing my a7Riii with the Samyang 45mm on our next family outing! Lastly, if I find I am not using either the higher end lenses I have bought, I can sell with minimal loss. If I start using my new a7Riii a lot, I likely will engage in the used lens market, reselling the glass I do not use.... Am a repeat Adorama customer of both new and used equipment, never had a problem. Haven't needed to use their customer service (though had a minor problem with one of their competitors, so, have been sticking with Adorama, KEH, eBay, and my local store, etc).

As you would expect.

Amazing device. Still very relevant today. Not the highest megapixel count in the Sony lineup, but it has more than enough. I have had little to no issues in use. Captured many memories with this beautiful camera.

Best camera I've ever owned

I loved the SONY a7iii but I needed more megapixels to print large format photographs for gallery quality shows. This camera exceeded my expectation. I use it for gallery and museum documentation as well as in my own art. I wish it recorded 4k video at 60 fps but, hey, it is an amazing piece of equipment.

Ten Stars if I Could

Adorama, simply the best place on earth to buy cameras and equipment. Courteous and responsive sales team. Super deals that no other camera dealer can match including the two big-named online sites. Lightning fast shipping and easy returns. I wouldn't buy anywhere else, but that's just me. No, I am not affiliated with them, I just like doing business with them. As far as the A7riii is concerned, I already own the A7iii and love it. I only wanted the extra resolution and the improved EVF and LCD display. I haven't had a chance to use the camera yet, but I'm sure if it is anything like the A7iii, it will be another award winner in my books. I already have the Godox V860ii S and it is a fantastic speedlight with a lot of power and features, so I know that the Flashpoint R2, being virtually the same, will exceed my needs. Honestly, I really can't think of any negative points about either product. I could nitpick little things, but where else could I find a camera with those same features at that price?

Details so sharp that you can zoom in for days

This is the sharpest camera I?ve used, I call it zoom-worthy because the level of detail is stunning! You can zoom for days and still get close details that even closer up on other cameras wouldn?t give that level of detail. I paired this with the 90mm macro 2.8 and it?s the perfect combo. Very pleased with this camera, transitioned from Canon to Sony and very happy with the move so far ??

An everyday game changer.

I've used DSLRs for years, yet this compact mirrorless camera has the capacity to take amazing shots out of the box. Love how compact it is, the massive sensor captures every detail and the battery life makes it easy to carry just it around while playing with my kid. It is super easy to haul anywhere without having to worry about bulky cases or heavy equipment. Best gear I have purchased in a very long time.

Fantastic value high resolution camera

This camera is amazing. I got a really great deal on it through the Adorama student discount program. While Sony has some weird quirks (awkward menu screen, only partial touch screen operation, and a god awful screen flip doohickey), the camera produces incredible detail. Highly recommend it if you?re in the market for a high resolution camera and don?t want to shell out the money for a mark IV!

About Sony a7R III (V2)

FEATURED REVIEWS

Stars have aligned!

By Chase G.

Previous A7R2 user. I knew the new specs, so I had high expectations, but having actually received the camera and spent some time with it, I am completely blown away. Noteworthy changes IMO: 1.Autofocus - wow. It’s SIGNIFICANTLY faster. It acquires focus so rapidly and accurately. I can finally focus above f5.6 without hunting. The Eye AF feature is the work of a magician - while it was quite usable before, it is now completely matured. It is considerably faster, more “sticky” as others have...

Camera Nirvana

By Tony C.

I finally have the perfect camera. I sold all of my L glass last year and jumped ship to Sony. I posted an honest review of the A7RII which I ended up returning due to several complaints that I and many others had regarding that camera. After some time I decided to buy it again and keep it once the 5D Mark IV came out. I was tired of the lack of innovation from Canon coupled with it's inability to listen to it's customers. I was tired of micro adjusting lenses that cost me thousands of dollar...

Sony A7RIII

Sony A7R III.

Refine your sense of reality with α7R III — an ideal partner offering superior speed, high-resolution imaging, pro-class operability, and reliable performance even under harsh conditions.

Animal AF.

A software upgrade is now available to support Sony's new Real-time Eye AF for Animals. The feature works by automatically detecting and tracking the eyes of animals that you're photographing, for beautiful pet portraits and wildlife shots.

Animal AF.
305034_24335.jpeg

A Path To Worlds Unseen.

Together, an effective 42.4MP (approx.) image sensor and enhanced image processor can take imaging as far as adventurous imaginations allow.

305035_24364.jpeg

Seize Moments With Quick Precision.

Doubled AF tracking effectiveness, even during continuous shooting at up to 10fps, advances the evolution of steady, lightning-fast camera performance.

305036_42669.jpeg

New Portratuire Potential.

Greatly enhanced Eye AF focuses on and tracks an eye with great precision and speed, even when a subject is moving, is looking down and away, or is backlit.

305037_16501.jpeg

Smooth Workflow.

SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps (USB 3.2) enabled by a USB Type-C® connector allows high-speed PC Remote data transfer for smooth handling of large RAW data files.

305038_54052.jpeg

Different Dimension Of Resolution.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting delivers overwhelming resolution, colour fidelity, and texture reproduction, capturing the atmosphere of subject and environment.

305039_22911.jpeg

More Realistic Movies.

Movies of extraordinary presence result from innovation supporting 4K HDR images of high resolution, broad dynamic range, and wide colour gamut.

Excellent Reliablity.

Light, high-rigidity magnesium alloy top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover help make the body very durable. Front and rear curtain shutter vibration are so subdued that the shutter has been tested to withstand over 500,000 shutter cycles. All major buttons and dials are sealed to minimise entry of dust and moisture, ensuring reliable function in tough shooting conditions.

Excellent Reliablity.
Up To 10 FPS Continuous Shooting.

Up To 10 FPS Continuous Shooting.

Capture an instant action with continuous shooting of up to 10fps with AF/AE tracking. Huge data of 42.4MP imaging maintains high image quality that is advantageous for your creative trimming.

Shoot In Absolute Silence.

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.

Shoot In Absolute Silence.

Dramatically Improved AF Performance.

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.

Dramatically Improved AF Performance.

Reliable AF In Challenging Lighting.

Advanced AF algorithms contribute to high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3, for more reliable autofocus in dark scenes.

Reliable AF In Challenging Lighting.
Never Waste A Moment.

Never Waste A Moment.

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.

Superspeed USB For Faster Data Transfer.

This makes PC tethered shooting available for smooth handling of big RAW image files, so you can quickly review images on a PC and continue shooting without much delay for file transfers.

Superspeed USB For Faster Data Transfer.

Shoot & Record 4K Movies.

You can shoot and internally record 4K movies oversampled from 5K (15MP) equivalent data in Super 35mm format. The results are startlingly beautiful in every detail.
