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.

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).

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.

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?

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 ??

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.

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!

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...

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 42.4MP full-frame sensor
The 35mm 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 than previous models. 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 enhanced precision, plus two times greater AF speed and AF tracking performance 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 lenses 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-EA5 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-megapixel1 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. [1] The image sensor is moved in 1-pixel increments while shooting four sequential frames. [2] 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 jaggedness, 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" (3.0-type) TFT LCD touch screen with 2.35 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.
