    After couple of months researching, and reading up as much of professional reviews and customers reviews as I can find, my main requirement this time for a new DSLR is that it must be a full frame camera. It came down to either this Sony a7iii or a7riii. I finally settled on the a7iii. The main reason is that I don’t need the extra megapixel that came with the 7r since most of my photo shoots will be for family functions, street shootings, nature, and astrophotography. When comparing Sony a7iii to other full frame, I looked at the functions, features, imaging quality, and last but not least, price. Since I am not a professional photographer and I don’t rely on my camera for a living, I lean toward a mid entry camera. When comparing the similarly priced Nikon, Canon and others, Sony stood out from the rest of the pack. I bought a package with 24-105mm OSS lens. I can honestly say that this camera did not disappoint in term of features and pictures quality. Even when shooting under low lighting, the images are sharp and beautiful. The included battery last entire day of shooting with plenty of juice left at the end of the day. Charging the battery through the camera can take up to 5 or 6 hours. I recommend purchasing a Sony external charger. Charging time takes only 2.5 hours to fully charge a fully drained battery. One thing that threw me off first time using it is that any part in the viewing screen that the camera think it’s too bright or can be over exposed, that part would have black and white diagonal lines through them. No where in the instruction or in any of the reviews did they mention that. I almost panicked the first time I noticed that and didn’t know what caused it. It wasn’t until I started playing with the iso, f-stop and speed, that I noticed the lines went away. So just because you see it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your photo will be over exposed, it just to let you know that that part of the photo is brighter than the rest, and you can compensate as necessary. With the 24-102 mm OSS zoom lens, I was able to take photo of my daughter soccer game, and crop it later to close up on the actions. Even when cropped, the photos still remained sharp. Everyday street shooting, family gatherings, evening time by the firelight, the images are stunningly beautiful. The viewing screen is a bit small for me. When trying to focus on a distant star through the telescope, it is a bit difficult. But that is normal for any DSLR. My plan is to purchase an external monitor to attach to the Sony to make that task a bit easier. One thing I came to love is the button customization. You can go online to see how you can customize the buttons to do what you wanted it to do. Once you get used to it, you will wonder how you ever lived without it in the first place. Like anything else, there is a bit of a learning curve. I’m still learning it. To me that’s part of the fun. I haven’t played with the video mode much, but the quality of the video I’ve taken so far was quite impressive. It definitely rival that of some dedicated video camera. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. If you don’t need or want a full frame camera, you can definitely save some money by going with the other format DSLR. But if you want full frame and with DSLR features, and superb quality, you can’t go wrong with this Sony.

    THE breakthrough mirrorless camera. This camera made a ton of Canon and Nikon shooters jump ship. With 3rd party lens support, I have a huge range of lens option unlike Canon’s RF the only crazy expensive option.

    After 3 years with an a6000 my long overdue upgrade to an a7iii has been transformative. Paired with my Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Art lens I’m taking the photos I’ve been dreaming of but came up short on too often with the crop sensor. While the MP rating is the same, the quality and resolution of this camera is far above the a6000. I like the feel, the menus were easy to learn having used Sony before, and the battery life is silly awesome. I shot 250 photos last weekend at an event over 3 hours with quite a bit of reviewing and only went from 97% to 82%. I have a second battery on the way and I think I’m gonna be good for awhile.

    I love this camera! A huge upgrade from the a7ii. I would definitely recommend looking at the a7IV if you’re able to spend the extra $500ish, as a lot of the newer features are really nice, but if you are in that lower price range this is still a very reliable camera.

    I have had a lot of experience with cameras, but the Sony A7iii has a special place in my camera bag. The sharpness and amazing low light quality is astonishing. This is the BEST buy.

    I upgraded from a Sony a5100 and my goodness, this is one hell of a beast. Do yourself a favor and do not buy the stock lens, save the money by buying the body and applying the difference towards a much better one.

    4K at 30fps
    FullHD at 120fps
    Superb battery life, I reckon buy vertical grip, one additional battery and you are gold for one full work day. Sony G master lens is crazy expense. I reckon buying Tamron 28-75mm for around $800-$900.
