There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional productions or A-camera for amateur and independent productions. The 24-105 I use in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. The Fuji cameras do this too including the new xt3. Lens experience and suggestions: The A7III and the A7r series are capable of incredibly great detail, if you use good enough lenses.

I love my Sony a7 III it works very well and the most pictures on my site https://www.danieltetzel.de/ are shoot with it. Sony says the a7R III is based around the same 42MP back side illuminated CMOS sensor as its immediate predecessor, so doesn't gain the full speed advantages of the a9's Stacked CMOS chip (in terms of AF performance, continuous shooting rate or reduced rolling shutter in video and electronic shutter mode). It's going to continue to be a work in progress over the next several months (in particular with upcoming lens reviews), so if you have any specific points of praise or any grumbles about the format, please feel free to send me a PM with details. One idea I had regarding this is that perhaps my SD-card is not compatible (fast enough)? Please stop telling things that are not true. The a7 III is still a magnificent camera for pros and enthusiasts alike. Who says a Canon will be the same price. It's not that Canon bodies and glass are better. The more I read, and the more I see on Facebook the sooner I want to make the switch. AZheaven, why waiting? As well as this, both S-Log2 and S-Log3 are available for increased color grading, while if you want to shoot Full HD footage you can do so at up to 120fps. Sony A7 III Review Sample Video.

Sony A7 III and A7R III review: mirrorless magic Sony’s latest professional mirrorless cameras pack a punch By Stefan Etienne @StefanEtienne Mar 30, 2018, 8:34am EDT In the past the A7 series of cameras have always felt like poor relations to the A7R and A7S series. The local camera store had no 7200's in stock and they also didn't know about the 7500. My camera store says there are so many of you that demand for the 24-105 has gone through the roof. D500 a nice camera. No denying that. Smaller than the F2.8 but equally as sharp. @pentaust, yes, but once again, one camera, one lens for my needs. Alternatives The colour palette is very similar for both RAW and JPG files, and there is the same number of profiles to choose from (13 Creative Styles plus five that can be customised). It seemed more natural to me. None of my cameras are worse for wear after 100000+ shutter actuations. Larger battery than a7R II. Great review. In this in-depth review, you'll see why the A7 III is a staggering upgrade from the A7 II, and is best value in full-frame cameras today. Next, must have at least one lens you can use in low light. I use it for indoor at night casual shooting. OMG does it suck!!!! Shot for our Sony A7 III review in XAVC S 4K at 25p and 100Mbps. You just have to remember to turn on the af assist on the transmitter and set the camera af illuminator to auto. That looks like it could all change with this third-generation A7 camera. The A7 III will be immediately familiar to Sony followers as it shares virtually the same body and controls as the higher-end A7r III. Would love to know what settings they are using to achieve that number. Sorry Canon. I use this in weddings and the grid pattern comes on with my a9. On the Sony side, there were tons of rumors over a successor to the popular a7 III camera. Ultra-sharp! I really want to order this camera. The Sony a7 III is a 24MP full frame mirrorless camera that incorporates many of the features and improvements found in the a7R III. Just like the Sony a7iii set a new standard for others to shoot for, so did you. And that it's a full frame camera. Yongnuo, makers of lenses, cameras and other photo accessories, has filed a patent for a modular mirrorless camera system. @AZheavenif you are shooting a lot without turning on, off, review etc you get many more shots than what a camera is rated for, because it does not reflect the standard used. I had a friend that was selling her D800. As we continue to test Nikon's update of its multimedia full-framer, we've added more of our findings so far on image quality, dynamic range and video quality. Oh, and it's a lot of fun too. I'm nervous about switching to Sony, but the A73 has features that just don't exist on Canons right now. etc. Have a look at our initial sample gallery taken on a full-frame Sony body. One of the reasons why I bought this camera. So I returned the bigger bag (didn't cut the tags, or undo the straps or rearranged the insides, just placed all my things on top and lifted it up) and now rethinking my options. Now the trolls complain because they recall. They've also launched a new retractable standard zoom kit lens for the A7C, the tiny FE 28-60mm F4-5.6, which despite weighing a mere 167g is claimed to offer better image quality than the FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens that commonly ships with the A7 III. Glad I didn't. But the new OSPD AFs are definitely easier to work with, despite that they are less responsive and consume batteries like there's no tomorrow. "D7200 weights 674g, Sony A7iii weights 650gr.". @ pentaust: D7200 is an aps-c camera! https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7m3#downloads, https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7rm3#downloads, Why doesn't the A7 III doesn't feature Pixel Shift Mode, like the A7R III? The 90 mm F2.8 is incredibly sharp, less than $1000 and serves both as a general lens and as a close up macro lens. Well I don't know that "corrosion is common". I Googled "OSV RubberDials" and it sure a h3ll looks like you are the same or work together. When it comes to its ergonomics, the A7 III features Sony’s latest generation mirrorless body design which brings it up to date with its siblings: the A7R III and A9. Senior Editor Barney Britton's Gear of the Year part two details how he ended up with a Reflex-Nikkor 1000mm F11, and despite its quirks, why it was ideal for a creative project in the COVID-era. etc. No idea, and I didn't want to take that chance. I am certain the image quality is better when pixel peeped. LOL I don't have much confidence in what Nikon is going to offer. And the most important is that I enjoy it immensely. The Alpha A7 III sits on the bottom rung of Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera range, and is designed to appeal to both keen enthusiast photographers and professionals. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61090329, Sony says they are aware of this issue:"I understand that you're having issues with the Eye AF function of your ILCE7M3 camera. Sony A7iii is in the works. Sigma has introduced its new 'I series' of compact, premium full-frame lenses for E and L mounts. The one who is fooling himself here, is you. I couldn't say that about my Nikon which was a nightmare with its front- and back-focusing issues. Canon and Nikon are in a race for last place in mirrorless (FF or otherwise). But isn't the histogram visible in the EVF? I for now shoot a D7200. I'm making the switch. F4? @Average User. But I would not quickly dispose of my D7200 if I had one. That's just the way it is. If so I see this as a huge disadvantage for this otherwise beaut of a camera.. Speaken technically, it should being possible by the IBIS system. The 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 DG DN share similar designs and have weather-sealed metal bodies. There was a problem. Vastly improved battery. With a 1.8x squeeze, the lens produces a more pronounced anamorphic effect than the 1.33x lenses offered by Sirui, albeit at a much higher cost. The Alpha A7 III sports two SD card slots, but, again like the Alpha A7R III, only one of these supports faster UHS-II cards. Sony is known for pouring as much tech into its cameras as it can, and the A7 III is the latest example of this. Let the time pass or quickly change! We took a look at the field and selected the Panasonic S1H and GH5 as the best cameras for serious videographers. I called Nikon USA and asked a rep when they were releasing the 7500. Good god...I'm not bashing anyone...so making a statement YOU don't like is considered bashing?? Do I have implicit bias like every other human? Two-minute review. Just when I was beginning to consider this camera with a few f1.4 primes as a complement to my MFT kit for low-light event work, this issue calls the whole notion into question. A compact body like A7III is much less obvious, especially when using compact lenses. As far as I am concerned that's a deal-breaker for high-contrast and night photography. As soon as the right video-mode is selected, it works - also with slow cards. Here I miss the "120p"-option. No other camera will do? It's not here in my menu. If your primary work is landscapes, I wonder if you should be considering the A7rII at roughly the same money as the A7III. The ISO limiter just sents the lowest and highest values. When we first reported on the alleged ransomware attack back in August, Canon said it was 'investigating the situation.' How are things in this respect on your A7 now? The x1 will likely not fire the assist beam on the Panasonic bodies. Let me know when you find a Sony that doesn't have nasty highlight roll-off, then we'll talk. It all starts with a new backside-illuminated (BSI) 24-megapixel sensor. The rest are non issues for most people who use the camera. With its latest model, the 24.2-megapixel A7 III, Sony has created a near-perfect all-around camera. @armandino, and others can join in...I check my histogram on my D7200 out of habit. Is the Sony A7 III holding up well after 8 months of heavy use? Is this an issue with Sony or any other mirrorless camera/lenses?? And he doesn't regret his move to Sony one bit. Except no wind. So take an A7III and strap five AA batteries to it. Google busted you. The Sony A7 III is not a perfect camera, but it comes close. The Sony A7 III offers beautiful image quality, excellent autofocus, and amazing battery life. Question regarding mirrorless cameras. Recommend that your gear gets some air conditioning (daily). We've gone beyond the spec sheet to discuss how the Sony a7 III performs in a wide variety of situations, from landscapes to weddings. Doing 1080 shouldn't be an issue. So you're wasting the no-noise FF sensor with a dark lens that requires you to set ISO to levels that will be noisy. The main people having a problem are armchair trolls like you who have never ever used the camera for any real period of time :P. I have had 3 Sony A7 series cameras and I can tell you ergonomics were great, menu system wasn't the best of course but once I fully customized the camera it was never a problem and construction while not the best is still very good.

The original Sony a7 caused quite a stir when it was first announced because it was the first full frame mirrorless camera from a major manufacturer. It's just dead, unnecessary weight. There was NOTHING derogatory in my comment. Now you left my post hanging . Best I got. We published a fully Sony a7 III review a while back and you can read that here if you’re interested in a longer breakdown of this camera’s capabilities. I wanted to upgrade to the A7III, but there are mixed reviews, some saying it won't stand more than 8 mins 4k video in sun 32º aprox and that corrosion is very common. It has advantages. So you are accusing Sony of trolling Sony. Improved processor and autofocus system. This is what I understand. The zoom lens was faulty. And Sony has consistently raised the bar with each iteration, from that original a7 to the a7 II to the latest and greatest, the a7 III. They stick out like a sore thumb. I love how people here who keep saying "it's the photographer, not the camera" to justifying them sticking to xyz camera, never have any decent picture in their gallery. Please have Jordan perform a video AF test between A7iii and 5Dvi, although I know how much he likes to MF. I'm only waiting until the holidays to see if there is a sale of some sorts. There was no way I was going to carry all that weight hiking!! I hadn't even thought about renting it. This A7 III runs in complete silence with full autofocus at 10 FPS! I'm certainly no apologist for Sony or any other brand. Primary among these are a BSI sensor, along with the larger capacity 'Z' battery, AF joystick and the company's impressive EyeAF feature. While this may be true when it comes to price, this is far from true when it comes to features. If leaving it in the sun for long periods .......combined with video. Thanks! I bet I could find someone who can take a nice picture with a pin hole camera. And that comment also stands for price. But if you don't stick with it til you get it right, unfortunately, it is you who are the loser. But I saw a video on YouTube using the GH5 called, “Paris by night”, and the GH5 handled the low light great. Overview: Sony A7 III Review. Try doing eye auto-focus with positive feedback in the EVF with a DSLR...Also, the focusing screens in many DSLRs do not give a true indicator of depth of field when lens is stopped down I believe because they are optimized for brightness. The D7200 is a far more advanced camera than the 3300. And I feel the A7iii will help me in my further adventures in photography when I make the switch. My OM-D´s and my X100 has always let me magnify in any focus mode, which makes perfect sense. @magnar, you are saying that using a sony Ax save 300gr over 2.300Kg and from 2.300Kg to 2.0Kg all of a sudden makes the system portable. It's been great, but it's time to move on. The 65mm T2 completes Vazen's set of anamorphic lenses for the Micro Four Thirds system. Your D7200 is a remarkable camera. And if you are talking about the AF accuracy, then mirrorless cameras have much less problems with it, just like DSLRs in LiveView mode. I've had the camera for a month. I have a project this summer and I don't want my funds tied up on an order that might not make it on time. Now it’s time to do a full-on review of the Sony A7 III. @xPhoenix, yeah, it's a consideration, but that $1,200 cost is too much. That's basic buyer's psychology that every marketer knows very well.

Check out the latest deals by clicking the links listed below. pentaust: Well, try Sony cameras with first electronic shutter activated (default, and what we use most of the time), and then check sharpness. You have to compare cameras with the same sensor size. You are implying you need this camera to take good pictures? Thanks for commenting! Sony’s 12.1-megapixel A7S III was worth the five-year wait. Ken Rockwell's review stated, that once the Sony A7iii is set up properly you don't need to access the menus anymore unless you need to tweak something. Why error, what ?my canons or Nikon never do that ! For a camera or a brand? The auto min shutter speed feature combine with auto ISO take away the need for me to manually configure them in Aperture mode. No price is given at this time, but the adapter is set to be available by the end of the year. The lack of a reasonably priced super telephoto native to the mount is also an issue. I'll wager there are some satellite sensors that are even better. For example, when I set the File Format to "XAVC S 4K", I only have two options: "25p 100M" and "25p 60M". It's not so much lens design or build, but AF accuracy like you said @ecka84. Or just preorder it and have your name on the list! Try to make a full frame DSR camera compact and light. And your comment about Sony glass is delusional at best. I think I'm going to switch this year. When a Sony A7 series camera is set up properly, you hardly have to visit the menues again. Do you think that your comment will shake from the ground the manufacturers..? AF-A is NOT my first choice. Darrell Young's book Mastering the D7200 is amazing. I am very happy for anyone who does get a good copy, but at the same time I am skeptical from my experience.I have an old Canon 70-200/4 and it is superb. I use long telephoto lenses quite often, and for wildlife, mirror lock up is never a solution. Stayed home, ordered a 7200 from B & H and the next day the 7500 was announced. It will also work on the a7iii and I believe the a7riii. The Sony a7 III owner's manual (linked to at the top of this page) provides a deeper look into the full capabilities of this camera, though at only 100 pages, it is not the most in-depth camera manual available. My 5d mk II has all the rubber parts fallen off after 95k shutters but that is considered a rugged body. I just wish the QC was higher. Nothing serious, and will print large pictures occasionally (20x40?). I have a question regarding this camera, perhaps someone can help me out. According to one esteemed veteran photographer its previous younger brother a7R2 was garbage and suggenly this new avatar turns out to be GOLD ! Please refresh the page and try again. And I think Canon will be beating them to the punch anyway since rumor has it that they are currently field testing a full frame mirrorless camera. Pinky grips, battery grips etc. Alternatives And that's with image stabilization, too! I have 3 lenses for my landscape needs. If I look in the manual, and also reviews in the web, it tells me that. Does the A7 III has an almost shock-free mechanical shutter like the X-H1? Of course if Canon included an EF adapter for their mirrorless that would help defray the $400 EF to E-mount adapter cost for Canon glass owners when they buy Sony. i've noticed on my sony a7 iii some artefacts specially during long exposure,some points are blue or red , i read is called hot pixel,someone have same problem with this camera? Sony now has glass while Nikon doesn't. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of optical perfection I have ever handled. I'm on the same page. Not the fastest card possible.

Now the A7 III is what Sony describes as their basic entry-level, full-frame model, but it’s really anything but basic. Best deal is the 28mm F2, which is extremely sharp and at f2, under $500, is nearly two stops faster than the zooms. Google is great for digging up the truth and a quick search showed you and OSV are either same or work together. What is this 1/18sec mean? Now since deleted. The cam is more than welcomed in every aspect. The whole point would be for use in situations like a dimly-lit dance floor. Firmware has been updated and lens lineups fleshed-out since Canon, Nikon and Panasonic joined the full-frame mirrorless melee. Dust will find it's way back on the sensor in the second it takes to put the lens back on. What’s the best camera for around $2000? funny to see how you post-whored that comment across three different sony articles, lol, A7 III for $1650, A7R II for $1450.I plan to mainly take photos of kids and family travels. I switched to Sony a year ago because I needed a couple features that didn't exist anywhere else. That's a heck of a range. In our latest buying guide we've selected some cameras that might be a bit older but still offer a lot of bang for the buck. I will say that I find the custom buttons, my menu and user defined function menu to make the actual menus moot - once setup I don't need to go to the menus. They have excellent glass. Humm!

Check the maximum clip recording time too, as it might be unlimited on some models and limited to 29m59s on PAL models. Couldn't stand the continuing AF accuracy issues with my D7000, D7100 and D750, but there was no mirrorless alternative to match my needs until the A6300 came about. For DSLR the shutter is already closed before taking the shot, so there is no additional shutter shock involved like it was the case for the Sony A7. Sometimes I do extended time on a tripod in full sunlight(bracketed shots) without issue. The A7iii had to throw both Canon and Nikon for a loop in every respect. And Live View? Oh brother.. No ppl is bashing you, just some opinion. Good to know. Does anyone know if using the smart remote still disables picture profiles for video? What is photography about? Photokina has announced via a press release that after 70 years of shows in Cologne, Germany, it will be indefinitely suspended due to 'decreases in the imaging market’ that have ‘force[d] a hard cut.’. Though it doesn't have the most megapixels or shoot the fastest bursts, its well-judged mix of resolution, speed, features and price point make it an easy recommendation for all kinds of photographers and all kinds of photography. The A7 III has a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor and 693 PDAF points Battery life and image quality are good, and 4K video is supported too The Sony A7 III … I live in a caribbean coastal city (Barranquilla) with humidity and apron 30-35ºC all year.

What i do want from Sony into their Mark IV Generation of the A7 Series: 1) An inverted (monochrome) Top LCD Display - just like Nikon Z-Series, EOS-R. 2) -6 EV AF, just like EOS-R, i am going sometimes for Nightwalks - can see the Scene in front of my naked eyes - but the AF won't lock on, because it's too dark. It's a real, if annoying, part of getting your kit to be as you want it to be. Sony has just released a firmware update v2.00 for the a7III & a7rIII today. AZheaven is concerned by weight and he is concerned by the weight of his D7200 and lenses. I'm sorry Sony. I've read where a few are getting upwards of 2,000 shots on a battery. Good camera from Sony putting competition on Canon and Nikon to up their games, my gripes is again small body and the overload balance especially hiking a mid to heavy lens on to it, small battery and compartment and why didn't Sony use XQD card slot in it ? Listen man I know what you are trying to say. Such nay-sayers claim to be the best photographers around, but they will never show you anything from their work.

Despite its billing as a 'basic' model, the Sony a7 III is a supremely capable full frame camera. Bad glass. I really enjoy my A7 III and have a great faith in Sony now. Every single on of their cameras seems to suffer from it. Or are you referring to dumb photographers that do not know about exposure so they NEED fancy gear? Panasonic S5 vs Sony A7 III. I just delivered to a guy last week who sold all his Nikon gear, D800, D810 and all Nikon glass and accessories and moved to all Sony. Eg if the camera is set to AF-S of AF-C and you press the magnify button, an irritating message completely obscures the view, stating: "This operation or setting not available as follows: Focus mode, Single shot AF".

The Sony a7C and a7 III are very similar cameras, but depending on your needs, the choice may come down to more than simply price versus compactness. Vaporware no more: the much-speculated-about Zeiss ZX1 has arrived. They might prove me wrong though. Wanted to buy Nikon D750 but after A7 III release it was a no brainer. So you should be just fine! No vibrations. I would want much better third party native lens support and more reasonably priced but still high quality lenses (for instance something like the 18-35G) lenses than you see in the Sony lineup. But with that said; congratulations to Sony and to Sony shooters for this seemingly solid camera, maybe one day I have the opportunity to try one out. I think that given the price its only cons are the weather-sealing and the lack of external battery charge. Body size matters. From a 5D4 RAW it is so much easier to make a beautiful picture with the tools I have than from the equivalent 5D3 shot.More shadow detail, less grain, overall 'agreeability' of the image.A better camera allows for better pictures.A bad photographer cannot be helped. At 2000 euros...doable. Looks like I have to buy one of these. My first camera was a used Canon Rebel XT. The resolution hasn’t changed since the original A7, but backside illumination runs the circuity on the back of the sensor, rather than the front, making it more sensitive to … Tamron and Sigma have lens docks to fine tune their lenses.
