Reviews around video (5.00 of 5)

  • Video is also excellent and I have started using a lot more
  • However, the focus capabilities were not upto the Canon standards and despite some significant advantages of Sony (better sensor, better video, IBIS, EVF), I stayed with Canon
  • 4K Video - Sony has far better 4k video quality than Canon
  • EVF - I am falling in love with EVF - looking at image previews through viewfinder, seeing all the additional information while taking photos, shooting video through viewfinder (although i love it, I confess that I still forget that it is possible to do this in a7r3)

Reviews around battery life (5.00 of 5)

  • The dual card slot is excellent, because knowing that you're not at risk of losing hours of prep and shooting to a faulty card is a Big Deal!The extended battery life is cool, but not consequential to me, unless I'm shooting video
  • IBIS technology is another huge advantage of Sony - you can pick super old (and cheap) lenses from ebay and they will be stabilized once you put them on Sony!l
  • Works great, iso is amazing real fast focus excellent battery life outstanding camera you won't regretted
  • The new longer battery life is wonderful, I never needed my 2nd battery even after shooting all day
  • Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is).Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons

Reviews around quality (4.56 of 5)

  • It fixes almost every issue the a7R II had: speed, viewfinder, speed, card slots, speed, build quality, and speed.
  • Its slow-mo feature is buttery smooth, and the quality is exceptional
  • 4K Video - Sony has far better 4k video quality than Canon
  • I did try video mode at top quality with the Lexar Pro 2000X U3 card, and the camera didn't recognize it as a U3 card, so I couldn't use it yet and the card is going back
  • The quality of EVF is great - i don't miss anything that the traditional OVF from Canon provides.m) Adapted Lenses - With a cheap Sigma MC-11 adapter, I can use all my canon glass on Sony

Reviews around focus (4.33 of 5)

  • On the A7riii... you get absolutely perfect focus more often
  • This is an amazing feature -- even with very narrow depth of field (blurring background), you will get absolutely perfect focus on the eyeball in almost every portrait/person shot.
  • After shooting Canon DSLRs for over 20 years and investing a lot in Canon lenses, I decided to try the a7r III after reading reviews that said it now had one of the best focus systems available and Sony was making very good lenses.
  • Works great, iso is amazing real fast focus excellent battery life outstanding camera you won't regretted
  • This is significant because Canon 5D Mark iv has one of the best focusing technologies for fast action.e

Reviews around shoot (4.33 of 5)

  • But you can shoot 8fps with minimal black out while maintaining a live view.- Silent shooting
  • Combining the fantastic eye-AF with the silent shooting and the live view -- it is the best event/wedding camera you can buy
  • It might not be the ideal camera for more serious jobs that require long shooting times or heavy post-work, but for smaller gigs, it’s fantastic
  • The Sony A7RIII is a much better camera than the A7RII.I'm a semiprofessional photographer who makes most of my money shooting headshots and other forms of portraiture
  • Put on face detect, silent shooting, 8 fps... shoot bursts from the hip, and you'll get lots of great candids.

Reviews around image (4.26 of 5)

  • , I was getting sharp images at 1/2 of a second.- Dual SD cards.
  • The slow sensor readout time results in warped images when shooting fast action
  • Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is).Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons

  • I've always needed some degree of stabilization or high shutter speed for sharp images.

Reviews around system (4.26 of 5)

  • Nikon's great autofocus system only works with the viewfinder.
  • Love both systems, about sony love this 42mp , weight and focus system
  • It is the best autofocus system I have ever used, better than the D750.For starters
  • Sony had superior dynamic range and an excellent electronic viewfinder, although the a7R ii also had an under-powered battery, mushy control buttons and truly awful menu system.
  • When paired with the right lenses, it is a relatively compact system.

Reviews around shutter (4.03 of 5)

  • Without touch capture / shutter, I do not want to waste my money on a7riii nor a7iii
  • The other issue is using silent shutter under artificial light
  • In this situation, silent shutter really shines and can lead to some wonderful candid photos
  • Silent shutter is really only useful and dependable to me for street photography where I am typically well below 1/500th and under natural light
  • The A9 is more suited for silent shutter as it does indeed have a faster sensor read

Reviews around a7riii (3.99 of 5)

  • The focus peaking between the A7RII and the A7RIII is like apples to oranges
  • So for those who want a general use camera with the best possible image quality, it is very easy to recommend the A7riii.
  • Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is).Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons
  • I highly recommend the A7RIII and Samy's Camera shipped it to me in mint condition via FedEx in a well-packaged box.
  • In a nutshell, the A7RIII is hands down well-worth it if you're looking for an all-in-one camera

Reviews around viewfinder (3.98 of 5)

  • But nonetheless the viewfinder is better, that’s welcome
  • Because the screen articulates I can get shots with the camera positioned in ways that would be too awkward to frame using the viewfinder.
  • (This is 100% on Adobe, but still a point to make)The viewfinder is beautiful
  • And with the clearer viewfinder and LCD, it's even better
  • I still have not decided if I use the viewfinder or the LCD more, probably evenly split

Reviews around feature (3.70 of 5)

  • And I know that Sony has some great features that I really like, that are missing from Nikon.
  • Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is).Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons
  • Its slow-mo feature is buttery smooth, and the quality is exceptional
  • Another irksome feature is the half-baked S&Q (slow and quick) mode
  • While Canon has a similar feature (so not a Sony advantage), without this, Sony would be close to in-operable without a six month crash course in menus.c

Reviews around lense (3.68 of 5)

  • Any of the Sony lenses with the GM stamp are of the highest quality on the market; they are also their most expensive lenses
  • While I now have native Sony Lenses you can use other lenses from your collection just remember you will need adapters that may not work as well as the native lenses
  • That may be the 42 mp sensor but the excellent lenses also contribute.
  • I shoot a lot with fast lenses and so focus is very important
  • When paired with the right lenses, it is a relatively compact system.

Reviews around expectation (1.95 of 5)

  • I had high expectations and it blew away my expectations
  • This thing has blown away my wildest expectations.
  • Truthfully, the D750 may not produce images as sharp as those the Sonys are capable of producing in good lighting, but the D750 with a 20mm or a 70-200mm Tamrom Way outperforms any Sony in low light--yes, including the A7RIII (the new one, that is).Anyway, the Sonys produce super sharp images with native lenses and non-native lenses with good adapters, but they tend to perform poorly in low light, relative to Nikons

Reviews around mo (1.00 of 5)

  • Its slow-mo feature is buttery smooth, and the quality is exceptional
  • On paper, it beat Canon on everything and had significant new features that Canon didn't even compete on (IBIS, Eye Focus, 4K Full Frame mode, Slow Mo at Full HD, Zebras/Peaking and many more).After having used both Sony a7R3 and Canon 5DM4 for over 2 months, I have decided to sell Canon and keep Sony
  • I love the “S&Q” option, that lets you capture and playback the footage in slow-mo right in the camera
  • (Slow-mo)Since getting into video last year, I’ve been having a lot of fun shooting slow-mo clips, especially for b-roll footage
