## Description

Back-illuminated 24.2MP full-frame sensor - The 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS image sensor features 24.2-megapixel resolution, back illumination, and gapless on-chip lens design for extraordinary sensitivity and dynamic range. Two times faster12 data readout speed is achieved through copper wires and front-end LSI. Entirely enhanced image processing system - A combination of new-generation image processing system and a new sensor achieves an up to 1.5-stop improvement in image quality. Wider, faster, more steadfast AF performance - An evolved image processing system and α9 camera AF algorithms optimised for the α7 III improve AF speed, precision, and tracking performance. Focal-plane phase-detection AF supports A-mount lenses - Phase-detection AF can operate even when an A-mount lens18 is mounted to the α7 III via an LA-EA3 adaptor. The 693-point focal-plane phase-detection AF system provides wide-area coverage, fast response, and high-performance tracking.

Review: Hands down, one of the best Digital Mirrorless cameras available right now! - This is a long term review, so I've had the camera for around 4 years now, and think it's about time I put pen to paper. My review is broken down as follows: Features & Functions, Build Quality & Weight, Menu System, Speed, Accuracy, Image Quality, 3rd Party Lenses / Add-ons & then Final Thoughts. Build Quality: Very solid build quality, with magnesium alloy and weather sealing, which does make the camera slightly heaving than I'd like, but easily fixed with the free heavy-duty camera strap in the box that Sony nicely provide. Full Frame: When I purchased the camera, the cost was around £1699, but now, the price is close to £1000. At this price, a full-frame camera is a steal, especially this Sony A7 III. Image Quality: As you'd expect from a FF sensor, image quality is amazing, as is low light capability. Choose to save images as RAW or JPG or RAW & JPG. Images can be saved on either or both SD cards - see 'Dual card slot' functionality. Dynamic Range: The dynamic range saved within the RAW images is amazing - I've saved many images that appeared lost is complete darkness, only to be save-able with boosting shadows and exposure. So, be sure to save images as RAW (and JPG if you need to). Speed/Accuracy + Auto-Focus: 693 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points means that auto-focus speed and accuracy is second to none. Sony cameras are the de-facto standard for blazing auto-focus speeds. AF Touch Tracking: To help with auto-focus, you can also tap on the touch-LCD to track a subject - the tracking is fairly sticky. Eye AF: Another amazing feature is Eye Auto-Focus which if amazingly fast - the eye will stay in focus as long as it's visible. The AF-ON button also switches autofocus on without half pressing the shutter button. Shooting Speed: Very fast 10 fps with AF/AE tracking in continuous shooting mode. 4K Movies: Very clear 4K videos up to 60 fps (or 50 fps depending on region setting). Up to 120 fps in 1080p for slow-motion recording. S-Log3 + Other Grading Formats: To allow you to capture dynamic range in movies. Movie Auto-Focus: Tracks smoothly during movie recording. AF tracking sensitivity can also be tuned for movies to either slow of fast/responsive. Decent menu interface: Not as modern as I'd like, but still a decent menu/interface once you get used to it with easily addable 6-pages of favourite items. Also includes a customisable FN ket to allow access to quick functions. Huge amount of customisable buttons and functions: Honestly, you're literally spoilt for customisable choice with 4 buttons for full customisation, two big wheels/dials, one back wheel/dial, 4-direction buttons which are all customisable, the FN key, the AF-ON, the Eye AF Key, all customisable. And a menu key. Tiltable LCD touch screen: OK ish LCD screen, could be better in terms of PPI, but decent enough to view. Really annoying that it's not a fully rotating screen for selfies and VLogging. Touch operations for touch-to-focus or track. Could be brighter in sunny weather. Viewfinder: Nice viewfinder with similar display functions to LCD. Again, could be brighter in sunny weather. In-body 5-axis image stabilisation: With 5.0-stop shutter speed advantage which has allowed me to get clear hand-held shots down to 1/20th sec. Easily share: Connect and share with phone with direct WIFI access which is pretty fast. Obviously, depends on the speed of the SC-Card from where the images are accessed. PC Tethering: With USB cable which allows direct connection and image capture on PC which works really well. Amazing battery life: Honestly, battery life is a tank! It just keeps running all day long. I do switch off the camera in between shots though, and therefore, batter does last a lot longer. I have also set the battery saver / standby mode which also saves battery. Dual card slots: One card slot it UHS-II and the other is UHS-I. UHS-II card slot is v.fast - I use this card slot to save RAW file as the RAW files (around 25MB each) are much larger than the JPG files (around 15MB each). As mentioned above, I can split the saving of RAW and JPG files however I want, so lots of options for me to choose from. Hot-Shoe expandability: Which I have used for external flashes and works very well and v.sturdy. Lots of other functions: Including Slow and Quick Motion, simultaneous proxy movie recording, extraction and separate storage of a still from a movie, and Gamma Display Assist function, among others. Lenses & 3rd Party Support: 3rd Party support is huge with a full range of amazing lenses from Tamron and Sigma. I have used the full range of Tamron lenses to cover from 17mm right the way through to 300mm focal ranges, and they are tack-sharp lenses comparable to the much more expensive Sony counterparts. Final Thoughts: This camera went on sale on desertcart for £999 a few months ago then even dropped to around £949 - I was seriously thinking of re-purchasing due to how much of an amazing deal that it was - you get a lot of camera for that price. I'd happily recommend this camera to anyone looking for their first full-frame adventure, but also considering using the A7 III in a professional capacity, as it has served me very well in both areas.
Review: Amazing technology packed into a small footprint - What an amazing camera, the autofocus is stunning, is very light weight with almost overwhelming functionality. Easy to use as a beginer with features that will take it up to professional levels when I get my head round it all, pin sharp pictures and outstanding value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any a7sii users able to comment on its lowlight capabilities or is the a7sii still king? how much of a margin is the low light performance between?**
A: A7Sii is roughly 2/3-1 stop ahead when talking about a maximum acceptable noise levels (~20000 iso vs ~12800 at a7iii), but its resolution is twice lower and the AF function is a joke.

PS: no, A7Siii probably not coming soon.

**Q: Is there any raw file conversion utility or software with this camera (cd etc?)**
A: Hi Tony,

You can edit and convert raw files using our free Imaging Edge software. You can find more information in this link: https://clc.to/TxfYwg (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony Support Team

**Q: Does the camera have a Polish language in the menu? Optional?**
A: Hi,

If the camera is sold in Europe by a European seller, the camera should have Polish language as one of the default languages. You can find the full specifications of the camera here: clc.am/uLHZhQ  (copy and paste the link into your web browser). 


Sony Support Team

**Q: What lenses would i buy for this? with canon, i know to get "ef" lenses, but i don't know what to search for, with this.**
A: You can use any e mount lens but there are full frame versions of the e mount which have FE in the name. You can also adapt almost any lens to work with the camera using adapter rings (i. e. Sigma MC-11 to make Canon lenses compatible), this is good but generally slower (AF speed) than using an e mount lens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sony a7iii - A super full frame camera.
*by M***Z on 15 January 2026*

True to Sony build quality and technical specs this camera doesn't disappoint. It feels well made and is ergonomically well set out and compact for a full frame body which includes image stabilisation. The function dials and buttons are easy to operate. Purchased with the OSS kit lens I found the images to be sharp and easy to crop without loss. The e-mount means that my lens collection can be utilised on my other Sony cameras too. I highly recommend the A7 iii. It is definitely good value for me.
