When you save up for over a year for a camera, and then drop over 10k on switching systems, you'd think your camera would be packaged better than a GM 24-70, a Batis 85mm 1.8, some filters, a battery grip, and an Alpha a7rIII bouncing around in a box that is partially open from not enough packing...

The Sony Alpha A7R III is not only the most well-rounded mirrorless camera you can buy today, but one of the best cameras out there right now.

10fps at 42.2MP; Advanced 5-axis IS system; Large and bright EVF; Fast AF performance; Improved handling

Battery life could still be better; Limited touchscreen control; Only one SD slot supports UHS-II cards

We don't give five stars out very often, but the A7R III deserves them: Sony's mirrorless monster is an absolutely superb camera and one of the very best you can buy, mirrorless or otherwise. The niggles are few and far between: it takes the already excellent A7R II and makes it even better.

Battery could be better

The α7R III was recently announced as the winner of this year's Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for the Best Professional High Resolution Mirrorless camera so it should be no surprise that we've nominated it for an Editor's Choice award.

Not regretted!

I upgraded from the A7Rii and wasn't sure it would be worth it at first. I'm really glad I did!!! First, the auto focus on this camera is so fast. Finally there is a high quality full frame mirrorless camera that can focus like a top end DSLR. Second, they improved the battery!!!

The Sony Alpha A7R III is easily one of the best cameras you can buy at the moment. I think we are slowly coming to a point where professional cameras don't need to be traditional full frame DSLRs. The time of the mirrorless camera has truly come and the Sony Alpha A7R III is the proof.

A great camera with a few flaws that has really taken it up to the big boys in the top end full-frame DSLR market. Has every right to be considered a major contender by anybody looking to move into high end hardware. Will convert some pro photographers to mirrorless full-frame but I suspect not all.

Too complicated – the menus; in particular; are very difficult to work out; Very expensive – and as such asks a big question; Very slow in clearing image buffer; The grip could be a little wider (particularly if hefting a large telephoto lens around; UHS-II cards supported in only one of the two SD...

The Sony A7R III is the company's latest professional 35mm full-frame compact system camera. It features the same back-illuminated full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor as its predecessor, the A7R II, with a resolution of 42.4 megapixels and no optical low pass filter, but offers a long list of significant...

After finishing the Sony a9 review, I stated "As I go back to my Sony a7R II to continue work on the Sony lens reviews , I'm left feeling in want." I was still happy with the s7R II's resolution and dynamic range, but I definitely wanted some of the a9's new and improved features.
