Sonya7 III ILCE7M3/B Full-Frame Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera with 3-Inch LCD, Body Only,Base Configuration,Black

Still a great camera in 2025 especially considering the economical price you can find it for. I have used it to take beautiful portrait photo shoots, a couple weddings, Milky Way galaxy photography, landscapes and beyond. Solid auto focus when shooting videos. Would love to have faster FPS and auto focus when shooting action shots but I also understand that this model predates a number of those advancements in mirrorless camera technology.

Absolutely love this camera! The image quality is phenomenal, and the low-light performance blew me away. It’s fast, reliable, and perfect for both photography and video work. Worth every penny.

This camera has changed the GAME! I am so incredibly impressed with this quality of the photos it takes. Even with the kit lens, I’m so impressed! I had bought a brand new Canon Rebel T7 and put a 50 mm & 85 mm lens on it and this camera with the KIT LENS blows that camera and prime lenses out of the water! I love this camera so much. It’s the best purchase I’ve ever made! The touch focusing feature is awesome. The auto ISO is incredible. The shutter sound sounds so boujee (LOL) when I snap a picture with this camera, I just feel like a professional! I’m trying to start a photography business and practicing with this camera has made such a difference! If you were wanting to get in Photography - spend the money. It is well worth it.Update: I had my 2nd shoot with the camera yesterday. I am completely blown away by the difference in the photos that this camera takes versus the DSLR Canon camera that I had. I shot these with a 35 mm prime lens and just WOW! I am still new at this but I am so thankful I made the purchase. If you are starting Photography, whether it’s a hobby or you want to go pro, this camera is the way to go! I am a Sony gal for life now!

Best camera on the market right now. Ive been shooting sony since the 1st gen a7 series, going from an a7<a7s<a7ii<a7rii & now the a7iii. Between the first 2 generations there were limitations that i felt yearning for such as longer battery life, dual card slots & better autofocusing in challenging light etc. The a7rii did so much for me & was way ahead of its time but those departments i mentioned were still lacking & i had hopes of them being filled when gen 3 would be released. When the a9 and a7riii released i was excited to know that they implemented those changes but my pockets weren't deep enough to budget for either of those 2. I stayed more focus on the rumors & hopes of an a7iii announcement not nearly expecting as much as what was to come. Sony hit it out of the park and released a camera that blows all the competition away, somewhat cannibalizing their higher end sales, this camera fills in every space i ever wanted in a camera. Granted theres some things that could be done differently, such as better touch implementation & making both sd slots UHS-2, however those may be wants for others but i have no gripe with either of them. For the large majority of people this camera can do it all at a much more (still high) affordable price point. Unless you have the need for 42mp or 20fps than this is the sony camera to get. It has placed my a7rii as my backup camera & am using the a7iii even over it for landscapes and portraits because the color rendition & joy to use has been improved. I can ramble on all day about all the tech features etc, but if you are looking at this camera & on the fence about it, you will not be disappointed.Pros:-amazing autofocus that covers almost entire frame-large battery-improved color over previous gen-amazing lowlight performance, better than a9 & a7riii, about as good or better than a7sii in certain modes-improved ergonomics-improved menu-touchscreen focusingCons:-touchscreen limitations, can only be used for focusing-only one uhs-2 slotI have attached some images i have recently taken with the camera as well.

I bought this camera in 2021 and it's been an AMAZING journey with her! I haven't had any issues! If you want to shoot professional but want to save $1,000, by not buying the sony a7iv, get this one since it's really versatile! I've had situations where it has gotten a little wet or moist due to the temp. of the room being cold, I live in a humid area, and I haven't had any issues. I got the bundle where it comes with the 28-70mm lens!

I have only had it for 6 days and, as a lifelong Canon shooter, am still on the learning curve, but so far, I love what this camera can do. Perhaps the biggest surprise so far, is that my Canon glass with the MC11 adapter performs better with the Sony. Case in point is my Canon 70-200 F2.8. On my 7D, this lens only got sharp at around f4.5 in spite of tweaking the focus. With the Sony, the darn thing is now sharp at f2.8 - that's huge for me as I was getting ready to sell this lens and upgrade to the Tamron when they offer their native Sony glass.Aside from lens performance, high ISO shots are simply amazing - even at 12,800, they are better than 1600 on my 7D - changes everything for me based on what and how I shoot. Though getting used to controls and functions will take a while, I love the customization that is possible and have already tweaked it with the controls I think I will need. Tons of videos out there on how to set it up - take the time to watch a few and it will save you tons of time. Also, don't forget to set up a control button to turn on the APS-C crop, instantly provides 50% more reach at the expense of about 30% reduction in resolution but it beats post processing cropping.After 8 days in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, I am even more impressed. I exposed almost every shot for the highlights trusting I would be able to bring out the shadows with no noise, I was not disappointed. I have attached an example where the shadows looked black in the viewfinder.So here we are four years later and based on what I've read about the A7IV, unless you need more resolution, there really is no reason to upgrade as in almost every situation, the III shoots as well, and in some instances, better than the IV. Still a great choice!
