The A7S III is a good camera for photographers but an excellent one for video makers. Compact, well-built and thoughtfully designed, it possesses a raft of pro-friendly video capabilities and features that make capturing fantastic footage easier than ever. For demanding videographers, it’s quite possibly the best consumer camera on the market.

Truly superb for video shooters; Excellent low light performance; Vastly improved menu system ;

Limited appeal for stills photographers; No 8K video ;

The Sony a7S III is a powerful video tool that can shoot 4K footage at up to 120p (up to 60p with no crop), in a variety of 10-bit formats to provide plenty of flexibility in terms of both grading and workflow. It has dependable autofocus, in-body stabilization and good battery life to boost its run-and-gun credentials. Its 12MP resolution means it's less impressive as a stills camera but it's a hugely powerful choice for independent video producers.

Run-and-gun video, all manner of 4K productions;

I, Robert27 (known in spain as Roberto.) Was able to take pictures of photography using Jones as a subject. The pictures in question displayed great clarity, showing even the smallest of pus buildups in Jones' skin. It is for this reason that I reccomend this photo-taking picture device for those who want a camera for using for camera related things.

Sony hasn’t just improved one or two aspects of its A7S series; with the new A7S III, it’s made an across-the-board set of upgrades that result in a camera that’s the best of its kind.

Class-leading low-light video, New Touch UI, Fully articulating touchscreen, Impressive battery life, No overheating issues

Pricier than predecessor at launch, Low resolution for stills

After the 8K-capabilities of the Canon EOS R5, the Sony A7S III might seem a bit of an anti-climax. I’m sure some videographers were hoping for a big jump in resolution from the 12mp A7S II.

Large pixels for great low-light performance, 4K full-pixel readout without binning and 10-bit depth 4:2:2 colour available in all recording formats, Vari-angle touchscreen and class-leading electronic viewfinder

12Mp seems low resolution for stills, Uses a new memory card format (CFexpress Type A) that's interchangeable with SD

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

This may just be Sony's most impressive video-centric camera to date (well, ignoring the ultra-pricey Alpha A1). By using the right sensor, processing power and heat dissipation, Sony offers full-frame recording at staggering resolutions and quality, and does so in a well-designed piece of kit. The price might make you wince though.

Great low-light performance; Strong video capabilities; Lots of flexibility offered by ports; Proper flip-out screen; Impressive autofocus and tracking; Great image quality;

It's expensive; Quite heavy with a decent lens; Menu button remains unusually placed; 12MP resolution may limit some photographers;
