The A7R III is so good, so powerful and so versatile. Its troubling body-lens size mismatch, and 530/650-shot battery life, which is good for mirrorless but poor next to a pro DSLR, means it just loses half a star from an otherwise perfect score.
Superb resolution; 10fps continuous shooting; 4K video options
Body/lens size mismatch; Pro lenses are expensive; Battery life still not at DSLR level
The Sony Alpha A7r Mark III is a highly versatile full-frame camera that can record detailed 42 Megapixel photos, film high quality 4k video, and handle itself respectably for sports with decent autofocus and 10fps bursts.
With big improvements to battery life and performance, Sony's A7R Mark III is a worthy successor.
42.4MP full-frame sensor; 10 FPS burst shooting; Vastly improved battery life; Improved image stabilization; Improved AF performance
No "anti-distortion shutter" rating; Burst mode limits compressed RAWs to 12-bit
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.
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
