Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?ROBERT S : I chose this for superior autofocus capability and excellent image quality for video.JOHNNY V : Although this camera has been around for a few years now, it is still very reliable and very much up there with other mirror cameras that are known as hybrid I can look away from the 12 megapixel, but when you bracket the photos and merge them together in Photoshop your file size is much bigger and there is more dynamic range. The auto focus log and color profiles make this a very well rounded camera for social media and even for some 4K client work.TERRANCE W : A great deal.Adelana F : Good dealMICHAEL M : Best B-roll camera ever.... err this year? .....ahh this week. At least until I receive it and then Sony will have something new! lol :)Steven S : Recommendation from Lewis A at AdoramaDonavon U : It's highly regarded as an excellent camera for videographers.VICKIE P : Great cameraAndres G : I spoke with Israel K and it was between this one and the Sony A7c.. It seems this is the better camera

The best camera for sports videographers

This camera is amazing! I've been using the A7iii for 2ish years and it was super nice. But when I upgraded to the A7siii? Incredible. It was night and day difference. The standard colors the camera gives are amazing. The 4K is fantastic. It is easily one of the best cameras for sports videography EVER! If you want to see examples, check out my Instagram @mkh.video

A7SIII is for filmmakers

This camera has excellent versatility, starting with the size that makes it portable with a great advantage of recording 10 bit 4:2:2 4K. A single person can operate this camera because of the auto focus capabilities. Is it meant for higher quality it?s necessary, this camera can be paired with an external monitor to provide 16 bit easily achieving the cinematic look. This is the best compact video camera from Sony far.

WORTH THE HYPE

This camera really is worth the hype. I mean what other camera is on backorder for over a year and still hasn't gone on sale because it doesn't need a price drop to sell!! Get your hands on one of these and watch your video game level up! Great weight, love the images and video it produces, Full-Frame 4K in 120fps?! Yeah you get the idea.

The camera as increase my production value

Got the A7S III after trading my Fuji XT4 for it with Adorama. Since getting that camera I have uploaded or finished over six client work with it, and I can clearly see that the production quality and value as increased. The low light and autofocus of the camera are outstanding. Will be getting the A7 IV once it's out from Adorama to use as my B-Cam.

Previously purchased from Amazon but switched to purchase at Adorama instead. Adorama knows their stuff!

Previously I bought the A7s3 from Amazon and had a problem with the sensor creating a white vertical line over the image after 5 days. Amazon's support was slow and not knowledgeable. They had me troubleshoot by "Wiping the front of the lens" or "Taking out the battery and re-insert". After I received my refund, which took around 2 weeks, I decided to purchase the camera at Adorama instead. No problems whatsoever. The staff here know their stuff and are very nice.

Great camera, but should have bought it from B&H. This is because I ordered a bunch of stuff with it, and Adorama held up the order from shipping because something was backordered.

About Sony Alpha a7S III

FEATURED REVIEWS

Absolutely unique at this price, and without real competition for most video use up our $72K ARRI.

By Andrew D.

We use a range of video and stills cameras, from Canon, Panasonic, SONY, ARRI and Phase One. This is the first camera that I have used that enables an entirely new level of low-light creative video and stills options-- far beyond our new Canon R5, the ARRI or anything else we have.

Wonderful wonder!

By Walter P.

Just great, excelent sensor! I use a7SIII for video and Nikon Z system for photos and after trying Canon RF mount too, this 2 systems are far superior thanks to quality on E mount glass and Z glass. You earn avoiding Chromatic Aberrations of expensive RF glasses and softness.

Sony A7SIII

Introducing The Alpha 7S III

A new milestone in sensitivity, speed and image supremacy. Featuring an all-new 12.1MP backside illuminated full-frame sensor with twice the readout speed for ultra-clean low-light images.

Improved Image Quality.

The new CMOS image sensor and BIONZ XR™ image processing engine in the Alpha 7S III delivers legendary S-series sensitivity with significantly enhanced color reproduction and texture renderings for improved overall image quality. The base ISO has been lowered to 80, resulting in a normal range of 80-102,400 (expandable to 80-409,600 for video and 40-409,600 for stills) to provide more flexible ISO plus wide dynamic range with low noise at all settings. It offers improved image quality by approximately 1 stop of noise reduction in the middle and high sensitivity ranges.

Improved Image Quality.

Versatile Operability.
For the first time in an Alpha 7S series camera, the Alpha 7S III offers Fast Hybrid AF by combining phase-detection and contrast-detection AF, giving it the ability to track subjects over a wide area with outstanding speed, precision and smoothness, even when using a narrow depth of field. Fine focus expression is possible with Sony’s E-mount lenses.

22721real_time_af_tracking_24558.jpg

Advanced Autofocus Performance for Hybrid Use.
For environments with a lot of movement, Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF are available to maintain constant focus on the intended subject. Sony’s advanced Real-time Eye AF improves detection performance by 30% over the previous system, thanks to the new image processing engine. It ensures accurate, reliable detection, even when the subject’s face looks away. Real-time Tracking is initiated simply by touching the subject on the screen. Real-time Eye AF is automatically initiated when an eye is detected.

Flexible Autofocus Settings for Movie Shooting.
Based on customer feedback, the camera includes several AF features for professional users including AF Transition Speed in seven settings, to easily create rack-focus transitions, and five AF Subject Shift Sensitivity settings, which allows the user to customize how easily AF will switch or stay with the locked-on subject. Touch Tracking allows user to not only initiate Real-time Tracking, but also compose and shoot while using a gimbal or while shooting solo. It’s now possible to Touch Focus during manual focus mode on the LCD screen or remotely from the Imaging Edge Mobile application.

Flexible Autofocus Settings for Movie Shooting.

New Heat-Dissipating Structure.
The Alpha 7S III’s design has been updated to ensure effective heat dissipation and minimizes overheating — even during extended continuous recording sessions at 4K 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 video lasting an hour or more. A newly developed unique heat dissipating structure keeps the image sensor and image processing engine temperatures within their normal operating ranges, preventing overheating while maintaining compact body dimensions. The new heat-dissipating structure requires no fan or cabinet vents allowing Alpha 7S III to maintain dust and moisture resistance.

New Heat-Dissipating Structure.

Movie Assist Functions.
For video on-the-go, the Alpha 7S III is the first Alpha series camera to include Active Mode with 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization to support especially difficult handheld movie shooting. It is also the first Alpha series E-mount body to feature a side-opening vari-angle rear screen, perfect for gimbal-mounted shots, complicated angles, handheld operation and more.

Movie Assist Functions.
227211_(14)_67139.jpg

Outstanding Still Image Photography.
The Alpha 7S III includes a fast Hybrid AF system with 759 phase-detection AF points covering 92% of the image sensor. The camera can also achieve high AF precision to accurately and reliably focus in light down to EV-6, where subjects are difficult to see clearly even with the naked eye. Users can continuously shoot more than 1,000 uncompressed RAW images at up to 10fps, or up to 8fps in live view mode, with either the mechanical or electronic shutter.

227211_(10)_66625.jpg

Versatile Design Made for the Pros.
In another world’s first, the Alpha 7S III features two CFexpress Type A compatible media slots which also support UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC/SDHC cards, enabling high write-and-read speeds while keeping the camera body compact in size.

Revised Menu System with Enhanced Touch Screen.
The Alpha 7S III also features a revised menu structure for easier navigation and touch-responsive menu operation for faster, more intuitive control. For creators who shoot both stills and movies, separate settings can now be stored for stills and movie shooting for quick transition between the two.

Revised Menu System with Enhanced Touch Screen.

High Reliability Gives Creators New Freedom.
Professional users need more than just refined features and performance. They also need the reliability and durability demanded of any professional tool. The Alpha 7S III features a redesigned grip for greater comfort and a secure hold, an improved dust removal feature, plus dust and moisture resistance xviii that maximizes reliability in challenging environments. It includes a durable, reliable HDMI Type-A connector, and is the first Alpha series camera to support USB PD (Power Delivery), allowing higher power to be supplied from an external source so that users can continue to record for extended periods with minimal internal battery usage.

High Reliability Gives Creators New Freedom.
