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...

I found the Sony A7Riii the best mirrorless full frame camera on the market today. I did extensive research on the Nikon and Canon offerings in this class and they both fell short of the Sony. The 42mb sensor is amazing - if you need that kind of resolution.

Compact and light body while feeling sturdy and substantial in the hands

Convoluted menu system; no intervalometer; lenses are more expenses than Sony's competitors

In terms of all-round competence, the Sony A7R III goes head-to-head with the Nikon D850 as the best full-frame camera money can buy. Indeed, the Pocket-lint team, alongside a panel of judges and the public voted it the best camera of 2018 in the Pocket-lint Gadget Awards.

Sharp images with plenty of detail and exceptional dynamic range; Much improved new battery with 650-single-shot-life; Lovely electronic viewfinder; Very respectable high-speed performance; Customisable 'My Menu' for direct access to most used controls

Still takes a while to work your way around the camera; LCD touchscreen lacks some functionality; Some buttons/dials are not the easiest to control; Still uncomfortable to hold with larger lenses

The Sony Alpha 7R III is Sony's latest high-resolution, full-frame mirrorless camera. It offers impressive all-round specifications, with a 42.4MP sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, a hybrid AF system that employs 399 phase-detection points covering approximately 68% of the frame, and 4K video...

Phenomenal image quality in almost any situation; Extremely fast and responsive; Compact; lightweight design with well-placed controls; Superb electronic viewfinder; In-body image stabilisation gives sharper images with any lens

AF area is invisible when moved using the joystick; Rear screen only tilts up or down; Handgrip too close to the lens for shooting with gloves

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.

42.2MP at 10fps; 5-axis IS system; Fast autofocus

Battery could be better

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...

The Sony A7R ii is an outstanding camera in all respects. I have upgraded from the Canon 77D & the difference is like night & day. From great quality images to fantastic features there is nothing to fault.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality

As a professional photographer for 40 years I depend on my equipment to perform, switching from a Nikon D850 to the A7RIII was a big move! After just 1 week I'm already impressed and racing ahead with the features.

I'm reviewing the a7R III from the perspective of a bird and wildlife shooter. I do lots of shooting of moving animals at predawn and after sunset, so dynamic range is a huge plus. Since I'm shooting feathers and fur, resolution is a high priority.

Not regretted!
