Sony a7 III (ILCEM3K/B) Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera with 28-70mm Lens with 3-Inch LCD, Black

So far I’m thrilled with the camera. It was a “renewed” purchase, but the one I received was brand new. The shutter count was zero. So it was a great deal. As far as the camera goes, I would not think this model is as “old” as it is. It’s still a great camera. Shooting in available light is important to me, and this sensor handles all kinds of lighting extremely well.

I fall in love with this camera from many reasons :- I'm living in Japan and actually I was able to save 800$ to buy it in USA and deliver to Japan vs ENG version availble here. In Japan is top of that limitation only in two possibilities, buy overseas version which has ENG/Japanese only or local (600$ cheaper vs overseas) with Japanese only. With delivery fees from Sony store and customs fee, I was able to save anyway 800 $ in total :).- full size camera made in 2018 with briliant properties comparing other cameras even made today- first selection was Canon EOS R6, which has amazing ergonomy and properties , but price was incredible high.- lens is simply great, I wanted lens from Tamron,but as for beginners, current selection is enough for urban and portrait. It'll worth to buy also telescopic lens too. Pictures, auto-focus, or even touching focus and manual management is great. Only dislike is complexity of menu, but once is set, that is great

This is used for pictures of roofs to show customers their damage. It takes good pictures and is durable for our purposes. We are happy with this purchase.

Compared to the 2 Canon DSLRs I have owned in the past, it blows them out of the water in terms of auto focus speed and accuracy. For low light, I've never seen anything like it in the consumer market, not counting the A7s ii which I haven't tried yet. The version that I bought came with the kit lens and it's performance is fine. It's not the best to use for the ultimate low light capabilities, but it's reliable enough. Interestingly enough, the kit lens even has firmware that you can update. I have successfully used my Canon glass with it using a Simga MC-11 adapter. The Canon 17-40mm f4L and Canon 70-200 f2.8L focused quickly. My Sigma 8-16mm lens focused well, though it's meant for APS-C sensors. Oddly enough my Canon 50mm 1.4 paired with the A7iii and Sigma MC-11 takes about a minute or two before the aperature control is functional but once it kicks in, this combo turns night into day. I also use a 35mm 1.8 OSS Sony lens that I used with my a5100 and even though it puts it into APS-C mode which sacrifices quality, it's still good enough.I can even use my Canon 580ex ii successfully with this (manual mode/no HSS) with a Fomex flash trigger.The reason I bought this however was for video. 4k is stunning, though I have to say, plan for paying a but extra for a UHS-II card to get it to work. The S&Q setting is nice for switching over to slow-mo very quickly.The menu system is a bit much but at least it includes a lot of features that are missing with Canon. Battery performance is quite incredible.Overall, I can't see why this camera wouldn't satisfy most pros unless they work in a harsh environment in which case, the weather sealing probably won't be enough. The compact size of it though is nice when you don't want to draw attention.

The Sony A7III with the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens has been a great transition for me from the Fujifilm X-T3. The first thing I noticed was how much simpler and more intuitive the menus and button layout are—getting used to it was effortless. While I do miss the X-T3’s 10-bit video capabilities, the full-frame experience is on another level in terms of depth and low-light performance.One of the most surprising aspects has been the battery life—it’s incredibly good. I initially thought about getting a spare battery, but for someone like me who isn’t doing heavy professional work, it doesn’t feel essential.The kit lens is decent for a beginner setup, offering good sharpness and versatility, but I can already tell it will be my first upgrade. I find myself needing a lens with a wider aperture for better low-light performance. So, the A7III feels like a solid upgrade.
