Sony A7 III and A7R III review: mirrorless magic

Sony's latest professional mirrorless cameras pack a punch

Sony α7R III Model: ILCE7RM3B

The α7R III was recently announced as the winner of this year's Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for the Best Professional High Resolution Mirrorless camera so it should be no surprise that we've nominated it for an Editor's Choice award.

At its core, the a7R III can be seen as a mashup of the best parts of its predecessor, the a7R II, and Sony's sports-shooting flagship a9. As with Nikon's D850 for DSLR users, the a7R III has the potential to be a 'Goldilocks' camera for those looking at mirrorless solutions.

The a7R III doesn't offer increased resolution when compared with its predecessor, but that doesn't mean it's not a serious upgrade. It takes a sensor that's already proven to deliver excellent performance and ekes a bit more dyanmic range out of it, while other upgrades are more palpable.

First introduced in October 2017 , Sony Alpha A7R III is a 42.0MP Pro Mirrorless camera with a Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor, built-in Image Stabilization, Tilting touch screen and Sony E lens mount.

Sony a7R III Review

The a7R III takes Sony's proven high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera and improves upon its speed, autofocus system, and video capabilities. The Sony a7R III ($3,199.99, body only) uses the same sensor as the a7R II that came before it, but just about everything else has changed. The image processor and circuitry that drives it are new, which improves dynamic range. The processor also drives a new autofocus system, which allows the camera to track moving action at 10fps—at 42MP resolution. Add a high-capacity battery, improved handling, and a larger viewfinder, and you have a full-frame mirrorless camera that is as formidable as competing SLRs. It delivers outstanding images, video, and autofocus, enough to earn our Editors' Choice. But some missing features keep it from getting the five-star rating we gave to its closest rival in the SLR world, the Nikon D850. Design The a7R III ($2,298.00 at Amazon) looks and feels a lot like the a7R II—they use the same chassis. It measures 3.8 by 5.0 by 2.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.5 pounds. The body is protected against dust and splashes, as are all Sony FE lenses. Similar Pro...

Welcome to the great digital mirrorless camera divide. The Sony a7R Mk III full-frame has been touted as the camera that will turn full-frame DSLR professional photographers and camera owners away from their trusted – but bulky – full-frame set ups to the lighter-weight, feature-laden, mirrorless...

Game Changing Dynamic Range And Resolution

I'm reviewing the a7R III from the perspective of a bird and wildlife shooter. I do lots of shooting of moving animals at predawn and after sunset, so dynamic range is a huge plus. Since I'm shooting feathers and fur, resolution is a high priority.

Sony Alpha A7R III review

If Nikon thought it was going to have things all its own way with the D850, it should think again. Sony has taken one of our favorite mirrorless cameras and bolstered the performance to make the new Alpha A7R III a much more capable and well-rounded offering.
