Sony Alpha A7 III
Not too big, but not too small. It's just right! The Sony Alpha 7 III combines ease-of-use with a range of the latest features you expect in a modern camera.
A More Than Capable Compact
The images coming out of this compact camera punch well above their weight in terms of quality. They're the sort of images you'd expect from a full-frame camera and are made possible thanks to Sony's newly developed back-illuminated image sensor and evolved image processing system.
Instant recall
My Menu offers instant recall of your favourite settings, so you can snap in a flash without missing a thing. Simply create and customize an optimal menu based around your preferences and be ready to shoot in no time.
Better Battery Power
When you're out and about capturing one great image after another, battery longevity is crucial. The good news is that the A7 III can use an NP-FZ100 battery, which gives you more than two times the capacity of a NP-FW50 battery. This allows you to shoot up to approximately 710 photos with one full charge.
Built For Speed
Another surprising feature of this compact camera is its speed: the Sony Alpha 7 III offers high-speed continuous shooting of up to 10 fps (frames per second).
Exceptional 4K Video
This is the video age, where the moving image is just as important as the still photograph. Yet again, the A7 III over-delivers with 4K video recording over the full width of the sensor. No more cropped video! What you get is video of exceptional clarity, colour and detail.
A newer model Sony Alpha A7 IV was released in October 2021.

Sony Alpha a7 III review: All you need in one camera
The Sony Alpha a7 III is a camera that is a powerful yet nimble, capable yet creative. The Sony Alpha a7 III is ideal for those who are progressing from an entry level DSLR or Alpha and knows what they are getting into.
This camera is revolutionary good. Sony has really moved the limit of what an entry level camera can do. With a price tag that guaranteed shaking Nikon's and Canon's marketing departments, a professional camera has been released in the budget package.
Sony α7 Mark III ILCE7M3B
Until now, Sony has been the only mirrorless camera manufacturer to offer cameras with ‘full-frame' sensors; but that's about to change. On 23 August Nikon will unveil its first mirrorless camera, which will have a full-frame sensor and a new lens mount.
Sony A7 Mark III Camera Body ILCE7M3B review
Sony's most affordable full-frame camera is certainly nothing to scorn at.- Class-leading picture quality, enhanced usability, sharp 4K-video, and fast shooting rate and focus response.
- Low resolution viewfinder and display, moderate weather proofing, and only one UHS-II slot.
Sony A7 III Review
- Excellent value for money
- Improved battery stamina
- Fast and responsive autofocus system
- Revised button layout for intuitive control
- AF point illumination could be improved
- Convoluted menu system
- Thin plastic port covers aren’t weather-sealed
- Handles poorly with large gloves in cold climates
USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatible USB Type-C™25 port makes high-speed PC Remote data transfer smooth and effortless, for handling large image files produced using PC-tethered shooting.
Sony Alpha 7 III review: The best mirrorless under £2,000
Sony's A7 series has been around for over four years and, since the release of the original A7 and A7R at the start of 2014, the series has improved and expanded to help make Sony a major force in the market.- Compact size
- Good video capabilities
- Well-rounded set of features
- No top-plate info LCD
- Limited touchscreen facility
- Electronic finder could be better
Wonderful
Great ergonomics if you're used to Sony. Amazing IBIS, e.g. 1/8 s handheld in a dark forest. Sadly, a Metabones adapter broke a contact pin in the camera so I had to return it.
Fantastic! And I am a tough judge. Made me consider abandoning my Fuji system with 11 lenses... The only thing is it's ridiculously configurable, so you need to spend time to create your own 'My menu', otherwise you can never find anything.
Wonderful Camera
First mirrorless camera. Great built quality, great functionalities. Great all purpose camera!
