Frequently asked questions

Full-Frame refers to the size of the image sensor used in the camera. The Sony a7 III features a full-frame sensor which is larger in size than the typical APS-C or crop sensor. This allows for better image quality, especially in low light conditions, because larger sensors can gather more light.

The title 'Body Only' indicates that this version of the Sony a7 III comes without a lens. You would need to purchase lenses separately. This gives you flexibility to choose the lenses that best suit your photography needs.

Mirrorless refers to the camera technology where the traditional mirror system used in DSLRs is removed. This allows for slimmer, lighter camera bodies and faster shooting rates. The Sony a7 III is a mirrorless camera, combining the smaller size of mirrorless technology with the image quality of a full-frame sensor.

The '3-Inch LCD' refers to the size of the camera's rear screen. It's a high-resolution display that can be used for framing your shots, reviewing pictures, navigating menus and more. Importantly, it does not have touchscreen capabilities.

  • Best camera on the market right now
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Best camera on the market right now. Ive been shooting sony since the 1st gen a7 series, going from an a7<a7s<a7ii<a7rii & now the a7iii. Between the first 2 generations there were limitations that i felt yearning for such as longer battery life, dual card slots & better autofocusing in challenging light etc. The a7rii did so much for me & was way ahead of its time but those departments i mentioned were still lacking & i had hopes of them being filled when gen 3 would be released. When the a9 and a7riii released i was excited to know that they implemented those changes but my pockets weren't deep enough to budget for either of those 2. I stayed more focus on the rumors & hopes of an a7iii announcement not nearly expecting as much as what was to come. Sony hit it out of the park and released a camera that blows all the competition away, somewhat cannibalizing their higher end sales, this camera fills in every space i ever wanted in a camera. Granted theres some things that could be done differently, such as better touch implementation & making both sd slots UHS-2, however those may be wants for others but i have no gripe with either of them. For the large majority of people this camera can do it all at a much more (still high) affordable price point. Unless you have the need for 42mp or 20fps than this is the sony camera to get. It has placed my a7rii as my backup camera & am using the a7iii even over it for landscapes and portraits because the color rendition & joy to use has been improved. I can ramble on all day about all the tech features etc, but if you are looking at this camera & on the fence about it, you will not be disappointed. Pros: -amazing autofocus that covers almost entire frame -large battery -improved color over previous gen -amazing lowlight performance, better than a9 & a7riii, about as good or better than a7sii in certain modes -improved ergonomics -improved menu -touchscreen focusing Cons: -touchscreen limitations, can only be used for focusing -only one uhs-2 slot I have attached some images i have recently taken with the camera as well. ... show more

  • New for the price of used
Style: w/ 28-70mm Set: Base
So far I’m thrilled with the camera. It was a “renewed” purchase, but the one I received was brand new. The shutter count was zero. So it was a great deal. As far as the camera goes, I would not think this model is as “old” as it is. It’s still a great camera. Shooting in available light is important to me, and this sensor handles all kinds of lighting extremely well. ... show more

Style: w/ 28-70mm Set: Base
Compared to the 2 Canon DSLRs I have owned in the past, it blows them out of the water in terms of auto focus speed and accuracy. For low light, I've never seen anything like it in the consumer market, not counting the A7s ii which I haven't tried yet. The version that I bought came with the kit lens and it's performance is fine. It's not the best to use for the ultimate low light capabilities, but it's reliable enough. Interestingly enough, the kit lens even has firmware that you can update. I have successfully used my Canon glass with it using a Simga MC-11 adapter. The Canon 17-40mm f4L and Canon 70-200 f2.8L focused quickly. My Sigma 8-16mm lens focused well, though it's meant for APS-C sensors. Oddly enough my Canon 50mm 1.4 paired with the A7iii and Sigma MC-11 takes about a minute or two before the aperature control is functional but once it kicks in, this combo turns night into day. I also use a 35mm 1.8 OSS Sony lens that I used with my a5100 and even though it puts it into APS-C mode which sacrifices quality, it's still good enough. I can even use my Canon 580ex ii successfully with this (manual mode/no HSS) with a Fomex flash trigger. The reason I bought this however was for video. 4k is stunning, though I have to say, plan for paying a but extra for a UHS-II card to get it to work. The S&Q setting is nice for switching over to slow-mo very quickly. The menu system is a bit much but at least it includes a lot of features that are missing with Canon. Battery performance is quite incredible. Overall, I can't see why this camera wouldn't satisfy most pros unless they work in a harsh environment in which case, the weather sealing probably won't be enough. The compact size of it though is nice when you don't want to draw attention. ... show more
