I was at the polo race in Werribee and found the autofocus was very fast and accurate. The joystick is delightful to use. The eye AF is fantastic. The 42 MP sensor Is excellent!

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.

The Quality of the photos are good. Too many functions and some whatever confusing to use

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.

The a7R III doesn't offer increased resolution when compared with its predecessor, but that doesn't mean it's not a serious upgrade. It takes a sensor that's already proven to deliver excellent performance and ekes a bit more dyanmic range out of it, while other upgrades are more palpable.

Proven 42MP full-frame sensor; Improved processor and autofocus system; 10fps image capture with tracking; Silent shooting option; Tilting touch LCD; Dual card slots; Larger battery than a7R II

Only one card slot supports UHS-II speeds; No built-in flash; Can't start video until image buffer is cleared; Dense menu system

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.

Image quality; image quality; image quality – fabulous; Flexibility – will suit wedding; events; street and landscape photographers in particular; Impressive autofocus performance; Much improved battery life; A market leader in full-frame; interchangeable lens; mirrorless cameras; Great viewfinder –...

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...

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
