I've had my a7III for almost a year. I like using it. I like the quality of the images it produces. However, there is one huge error in the design. No locks on the dials. The exposure compensation dial always seems to want to wander. I usually don't have any problems with the mode setting dial moving, but it has moved a couple of times. Sony must have had tripod shooters in mind when they designed this camera and not people who hand carry their cameras 99% of the time.
Is it an oversight by Sony to not include locks in the design? Yes. Is it a deal breaker on me recommending this camera?
On to other things. This is an easy camera to use right out of the box, but a hard camera to learn. While there is always auto mode (why would you by an expensive camera to use auto mode?) you can easily learn to use aperture and shutter modes to get you out and taking pictures. Then, I highly recommend you watch a few tutorials on the internet to learn to use all the other features this camera has to offer. It's been a year, and I'm still learning. A touch screen menu would be helpful here. I still find myself fumbling with buttons and dials to change settings.
While not a deal breaker, a touch screen would be so nice... Sony! Are you listening?
I had been wanting a Sony ever since I used my friends briefly. It made me realize it was time to upgrade. I saved for almost a year to purchase it and I love it! The digital viewfinder is amazing and so helpful when adjusting ISO/F stop/ shutter speed. It shows a live view of what your photo will look like. I love the look of the photos and also the slow shutter speed for night photography!
I've shot exclusively film and cellphone photographs up until recently. The compact, lightweight design of the a7iii is an excellent transition from the Hasselblad 500CM I am used to shooting which is a beast. The eyeAF may be my favorite feature, simply incredible
I have had this camera since 2018, I I can give an honest and true review. This camera has made my job so much easier as a wedding photographer. I love the WYSIWYG, it is awesome in lowlight. I am now looking at another Sony for a second body and slowly replace my other gear (different maker).
Needed full sensor camera as the cropped A6400 limited wide angle interior photos. The 6400 is a brilliant camera and the A7iii is a great improvement. Videos are almost identical but the A7 can film at 120. So far so good, the kit lens is ok but full frame prime lenses are the best for this. Pics and 4k vids look great on my sony 65inch 4k tv.
