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 A7 III, a full-power full-frame for only $2,000
Sony's replacement for its entry full-frame mirrorless model gets major boosts to speed, battery life, quality and features. Sony gifted us with a replacement for its 3-year-old A7 II, a solid full-frame that nevertheless needed some updating. As you'd expect, the A7 III incorporates advances that its line mates have gotten over the past couple of years, and it looks like you get everything you need and more for a relatively low price.
Sony a7 III Review
Let us save you a lot of time: If you're in the market for a new camera this year and can afford $2,000 for a body, by all means, buy the new Sony A7 III when it goes on sale this April. It really is one of the best interchangeable lens cameras we've ever handled.- Excellent still image quality

Sony A7 III review
The Sony Alpha A7 III is a highly versatile and feature-packed camera that redefines what we can expect from a full-frame body at this price point. It delivers crisp and satisfying images from its 24 Megapixel full-frame sensor, captures good-looking 4k video in either full-frame or cropped APSC...
With three years since its predecessor the A7II, Sony's all-new A7III represents a revolution in its full-frame mirrorless lineup. With the groundbreaking A9 released last year, and the astounding A7RIII earlier this year, Sony claims that the new A7III combines characteristics of both flagship...
Sony A7 III Review: Sony Goes Back to Basics with Its Lower-End Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
So much for "basic," Sony seems to be saying, the A7 III is a premium model worthy of its pricier full-frame stablemates: the high-resolution A7R III and the speedy A9 mirrorless cameras.- Scorecard
- + Pro-level features at a more affordable price
- + 10 fps continuous shooting in mechanical and silent modes
- + 4K video
- + Low noise at high ISOs
- - Inferior weather sealing
- - Lower-resolution rear LCD screen and EVF
- - Confusing user interface
Sony A7 III review
The A7 III hardly puts a foot wrong. Its specifications make it a terrific all-rounder, one that's so powerful its price is actually a bit of a surprise. Its handling and control layout aren't perfect, and other cameras might grab the headlines in one area or another, but few are so consistently...- 10fps continuous shooting
- Highly sophisticated AF system
- 4K video capabilities
- Imbalance with larger lenses
- No drive or focus mode dials
- Good
- rather than great
- burst shooting buffer
I genuinely think the Sony A7 III is a fantastic camera. Sony describes it as their "basic" option. For that, I understand the mentality. But for the professional photographer, I think the Sony A7 III has no real place in your bag. Instead, go for the Sony a7r III or the Sony a9.
The Sony a7 III is an excellent mirrorless camera. A full-frame sensor trimmed with the works -- a super fast, precise autofocus and Eye AF, long battery life, a wider ISO range and impressive noise reduction, 4K capabilities and IBIS, to name a few -- that won't cost you an arm and a leg is the...
- For an affordable camera, the Sony a7 III is jam-packed with features you'll find in the more expensive bodies
- It's got the autofocus power to keep up with many action shots and the very wide ISO range of the $4k Sony a9.
- While the bad stuff we're about to mention aren't not necessarily bad, there are some of the things about this camera that make us hesitate and consider the more expensive options
- Let's just call them limitations.
