Product Reviews

I purchased this camera a month ago to replace my trusty Pentax K-1 MK2, and I must say it is a powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-use piece of engineering.

Great camera, capable of fantastic images, has a myriad of controls - make sure to read the Brochure and Manual in detail and view all Sony Academy lessons, as well as Ambassador and User pages on Sony website to help get the most out of it. Be aware there are ill informed comments and reviews on the web. Having reviewed the lens options I settled on the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8 and Zeiss Batis lenses. The camera gives more than sufficient performance for my requirements and negates the extra cost of the Alpha 7R IV.

I bought it a 2 weeks age so I'm still learning all the tricks

Bought a used 7R 111A to replace my much loved 7R 111. It seemed a better bet going for the 111A because it came out in 2021 and the likelihood of a less used camera was stronger (+ less actuations). There seems to be some internal changes to the software but nothing that stands out. The improved rear screen is perhaps a bit clearer but not really a game changer. However, all in all, the 7R 111A is a great camera and I find the 42mp resolution, with good lenses, is all I need.

I LOVE IT! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

So Sony never released a new firmware version, yet the newer and older versions have had Firmware updates, and just the ILCE-7RM3A is one of the few cameras that are unsupported

I bought this camera a month ago and I need a few days to learn to set up it is amazing camera, excellent images a lot of possibilities. I am extremely impressed, happy, and I recommend it.

Sony A7Riii In 2024 you can still considerate, Love photo quality.

Purchased Alpha A73 as a replacement for my Alpha A7 (10) years old, fabulous little work horse.

I have only shot on Canon products. Out of the Box it makes me want to get rid of all my Canon gear.

It would have been 5 stars but for the lack of a fully articulating screen, which is a real shame as the camera is absolutely mind-blowing in every other detail. The image quality is tricky outstanding.

This is relatively new to me. I’ve been a canon dslr user for years but wanted to go mirror less and the canon alternative was out of reach budget wise. Taking a while to get used to the menus and the EV but performance wise I’m really pleased. Smaller form is good too. Write times can be long when shooting long exposure Raw files but that’s to be expected, even with pro-grade cards. Lenses are expensive. Comparable to Canon Nikon but there’s plenty out there. Haven’t tested video yet.

I originally owned an A7R III back in 2018 and loved it. However, I allowed my gear obsession to get the better of me, and I switched to a different, newer system. While the latest cameras are technically very impressive, the fact is, stills image quality hit a wall in 2017/18 and so if, like me, you only shoot slow, composed stills photography you are gaining literally nothing in IQ by buying a new flagship camera… Just many features I don’t need and won’t use. Money which I would rather spend on lenses. So in December of 2023, I came full circle and bought a brand new A7R IIIA for significantly less than the price of an A7IV… Which is a no brainer. For my needs, the A7R IIIA is still as good as it gets. For stills photography, the 42MP sensor has not been bettered by any modern flagship camera, is still one of the best full frame sensors ever made and 42MP offers a perfect level of resolution for my needs. I personally prefer a tilting screen and the smaller size body compared to newer models which have grown substantially. It feels perfectly balanced with the vertical grip and without the grip it’s almost pocket size and an excellent street and travel camera with a compact prime. Spec wise, the EVF, battery and rear screen are still relevant and used on modern cameras and the AF was so far ahead of the curve back in 2017/18, it is still excellent for my requirements in 2024. Obviously the video features are miles behind modern models but if you are only a casual/occasional video shooter, it is still a more than capable 4K camera. In a nutshell, if you can find a good deal an A7R IIIA in 2023/24 and your main concern is composed stills photography (not hardcore sports and wildlife), it is still a sensational camera. Not to mention, Sony are so far ahead with the range of lenses now available for the E-Mount it’s become hard to recommend any other system.

Good value for 2023. Great design and quality, could improve with more frequent firmware updates, expensive products should have longer life.

The images are very clear, without noise and with a lot of life.

I use this for stills and video. I do low light, flash, landscapes and even event photography. I took it out last night to shoot images of Christmas lights (some with fill flash, some without). Every one was perfect - I used auto focus for most, but also manual focus for tricky locations. It is winter here - and all went fine. Again - a camera for someone who needs a versatile camera. Having 2 memory card slots (so a backup) is great too.

I bought this and glad I did, I have still to fully test but so far it performs as expectedd

Great piece of kit that totally improves on the A7RII that I have.

I have recently purchased this camera with the Sony 20mm 1.8 and have had a couple of trips to The Peak District, England to put the camera and lens through its paces. Varied landscape work, lee filters and I cannot find the words to really describe my joy with the quality of build and the superb image quality. I have my mojo back for photography......thanks Sony.

Since getting this camera, I have found huge improvement to the quality of my photographs. So mush easier to resize and edit shots, allowing for high quality outcomes, due to the high number of Pixels. I can, when needed, zoom in and crop without getting pixelisation. Fabulous

I’ve used and owned a canon 760d, 7dmk2, 5d3, 5d4 and Nikon d800s and a d810. This camera somehow picks all the best bits from all my previous cameras and puts it into a robust mirror less format and then throws another load of MP to boot. Simply brilliant

This is an upgrade from my original A7 which was the best digital camera I’ve ever owned. The A7rm3 is a step ahead with a proper facility to stream live content to a PC or phone. Huge benefit with my astrophotography. Love it.

5 year owner as my first full frame. Coming from an A65, this has been one of the best investments. I couple this camera with the ZV E10. The A7riii is a good working platform allowing great use with third party lenses and vintage lenses. The cheapest adapter on Amazon works wonderful and I have very little loss of functionality with third party lenses. The menu system could be more user friendly, but it is easliy managed. I plan to keep this until either it breaks or the upgrade to a newer camera can be monotarily justified. The in body stabilization allows me not to worry about what lens I put on it.

Upgraded from a7rii and really loving the quick and swift operations

Absolutely delighted with my purchase, build quality is good, nice and light.. The sharpness in the image is unreal.

The photo is sharp and clear in the dark scenes. Compared with the A7-C, this camera uses the same processor but doesn't have AF tracking function. This is a major disadvantage. Hope the end users can get this function through future firmware upgrades.

Using for about few months mainly for landscape and wildlife

To say this camera is impressive is a understatement the image quality and resolution is fantastic

Bought this two years ago and love the build quality, light weight, mirror-less, professional feeling camera recommend this package to every photograph I meet. Love the grab and go aspect moving away from D5 and white lenses.

This camera has been on my "wish list" for an upgrade for a long time. Great camera in all respects for landscape shooting except for one aspect. You cannot "micro adjust" the focus on lenses as I could with my A77ii. The option is greyed out and the Sony thinking is that with mirrorless cameras this option is not required. I have a number of third party lenses which require calibrating as they are either forward or backwards focusing. This Sony logic needs to be reversed please.

I have had the camera for just over a month now and it has already changed my approach to photography. I have a greatly reduced level of sight and this camera has expanded my working frame thanks to the 42 megapixel sensor. I am currently working on a project to achieve my Associate Distinction with The Royal Photographic Society and this camera is going to help me deliver it.

Not yet fully up to speed with the camera but it is excellent so far

I purchased this camera when visiting WEX camera and video shop, I was blown away by how light the camera is. I have taken a couple of photos and I am really impressed. The one and only problem I have is finding the scene setting so I can try Landscape photography being a Canon user I can use my canon lenses with a Sigma adapter really made up.

Sony a7riii is a great camera for landscape. The 42 megapixels allows me to have bigger clearer prints that look just lovely. All the other features are easy to use and user friendly. An all round winner.

I was looking for an upgrade from my dated Mavica FD5, DSC-F717, & a350 gear. My research resulted in either the a7iii or a7Riii for my personal camera needs. I ended up deciding on the a7Riii (ILCE7RM3). Upon receipt and initial setup, I found this model camera is absolutely a "beast". The metal case feels very solid in the hand. The menus are easy and intuitive to navigate. So far the images captured are absolutely stunning and solidify my decision to upgrade to more modern features and capabilities. Thank you Sony!

I bought the a7iii after two years with the A7rii. The latter was also a great camera but the high resolution meant a bit of a loss on the low light performance so I chose to go without the ‘r’ this time and I haven’t regretted it at all. The autofocus performance on the a7iii is excellent and the convenience of having two card slots is a bonus too. Very pleased.

Switched from my Nikon D500, which is widely considered the best sports/wildlife allrounder for the last decade and this camera take a leap forward in every way, great in the studio, lakediateixt, street, skatepark - very easy to get I to and learn new ideas too. Only gripes are, the shutter button is soggy, no sharp click and the other is the size, inhad to add a battery grip or this little screw on block to hold it in my hand

I've had this a7r3 for a couple years and I still enjoy using it every time I pick it up.

Bought a few weeks ago and so far have been very pleased with the features explored so far

This is my first full frame camera, I got it a month ago, is a great camera that gave me a much better and different image outcome with the fast auto focus and the 10 fps is super fast, 42 mp gave me better resolution and sharper, clearer picture than I expected. I am happy I got this camera, I believe I will enjoy much better shooting in the near future. Thanks Sony!

I'd been a Nikon user for many years but decided to change after chatting to a friend. Best decision I've made for a while!! The menu system isn't as bad as I'd read about - maybe not quite as intuitive as Nikon or Canon - takes a little getting used to but well worth it. I took advantage of Sony's cashpack offer

TOP mirrorless full frame camera. This camera is great for photography and videography. For this money is great camera.

Exceptional results as is the norm for Sony Alpha cameras. Just wish the rolling shutter distortion in Silent Shutter and the AF Tracking points were closer to my A9. Other than that, the camera is exceptional.

I have had an A7R2 and now have an R3. They are great cameras with a whole load of great features. The shadow recovery and dynamic range are second to non. All the mirror less Sony cameras have one major fault. There is no guard that comes across the sensor when removing lenses. This leads to masses of sensor spots that take an age to remove in post processing. It is the one really annoying feature of the Sony and accounts for 75% of my post production time (removing spots). Overall though a great camera for the money.

The Best camera I ever bought and compatible to all my lens and all my types of Photography.

I bought this camera over a year ago and have used it on several occasions. The quality of the images are excellent and the camera itself is a joy to use. I mainly use the 24-105 F4 lens but the 24 g master is my favourite, Overall a great camera

I bought the camera recently and tested it outdoors. All fine, AF fast and accurate, 42MB allows for some cropping and adjustment, camera feels good in hand and the battery - you can relay on it. Last weekend I covered my friend's wedding with A7RIII as a main camera and A7III as a backup/video one. With one spare battery I pushed the camera to it's performance limits shooting in poor light with remote flash, dancing people etc. Most of the photos were sharp and easy to develop from RAW even poorly lit. Only shadows at ISO 1600 a bit grainy, otherwise images clean. I'm very happy with the purchase of A7RIII - a good combination of resolution, performance and price. Reliability testing may take a bit longer but so far so good.

Portraits, nature and sports photography are a breeze for this camera! No regret!

Upgraded from the A7RII, which was my main. Can not be happier with the overall performance, handling and of course the battery life. The A7RII camera was a technical marvel, but A7RIII is just made those tiny flaws gone and brought much more with the well thought-out upgrades over the older model. Both are excellent cameras.

I have the really bad experience with sony.I bought 2 cameras sony 7r3 and 7r4 and both was with big issues and the company sony doesn't want respond with a new camera just did a reparations and the cameras continuing with problems.The cameras was really really expensive and I am really frustrated !!

Have not read through all the manual or accessed all the capabilities of this camera yet. However, the first full day shoot has produced some outstanding results.

This is a real workhorse. You can feel how great it performs just by holding it.

I have owned the A7Rii for a while and was really happy with it but it did miss a few features that would be useful to me, The A7Riii has filled all the gaps, Two card slots, much easier to move the focus point and activating eye autofocus is much easier. The camera has a fantastic sensor even now I'm blown away by the amount of detail it captures, it also handles low light really well when necessary I can raise the ISO to 1600 without it getting noticeable noise.

A real delight it’s low light abilities make it a joy to use - I fall in love with it more and more

I'm very happy with the camera, the dynamic range and ISO performance is great, I love Animal Eye AF as well. Ergonomics could be a bit better,but it's a small price to pay for fantastic picture quality.

Bought this to add to my A7iii purely for the higher Res and ability to crop in on, mainly, landscape compositions. Well used to the set up and operation so ease of use for me was not an issue, those that claim it’s a complex camera to operate are correct. My answer is to learn it, use it and practice. The images I’ve taken so far are outstanding!!!

Upgraded from A7R ||. Good feel to camera excellent results.

I watched so many YouTube videos and seemed all the top shooters for landscapes are using Sony so o thought I would sell my items and see what the Sony’s are all about, man why did I wait so long such amazing quality and details esp in the dynamics such a saving in weight from my old gear too, it’s re-enthusiastic my love of photography again and such good offers on brilliant purchase so happy

So happy with my Sony A7R3 Camera. What a fantastic product and superb sensor. However, it took me 3 hours to get photographs (not video) to record onto both of my UHS-1/2 cards at the Same time. And I've used Nikon and Canon Pro Cameras for some time.... Fortunately my UK Sony Dealer Wex were excellent.
