What customers are saying

The camera offers impressive image quality with high resolution and low noise even at high ISO settings, a fast and precise autofocus, long battery life, and customization options. The video recording in 4K is also excellent. However, the menu system can be somewhat confusing, and a battery charger is not included in the package.

    Reliable and Great Value!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 18, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this camera! A huge upgrade from the a7ii. I would definitely recommend looking at the a7IV if you're able to spend the extra $500ish, as a lot of the newer features are really nice, but if you are in that lower price range this is still a very reliable camera.

    Stunning pictures in low light

    Reviewed by - January 3, 2020

    I bought this camera in November 2019. I also have Canon 80d (not selling this camera though) but also wanted a full frame camera after learing a lot about this camera. I certainly have no regrets of buying this camera.

    I bought this Camera 2 years ago in 2019. I am still in love with it, especially for photography. As for video, heating is an issue. I want to share a few pictures from my A7iii.

    Great camera

    Reviewed by - July 17, 2023

    I have owned this camera for 2 years. It’s a great camera for wildlife and other types of photography. I use it predominantly for wildlife and have some great results. It has a good burst speed that enables you to capture the action. It has dual card slots that can be setup independently to your preference. Battery life is good. I also own an A9 and will happily choose either camera. The camera is light weight enough to use for a long session handheld and great for travel. If you’re looking for a versatile camera that give great results, then this is a good choice.

    Flexible photo machine

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 26, 2019

    I purchased my A7iii shortly after release as I wanted a smaller, lighter versatile full frame camera for documentary / portrait shooting.

    Great improvement over the A72

    Reviewed by - July 8, 2022

    I bought this as an insurance replacement for my damaged A72 and it betters the A72 in just about every respect. The larger grip makes handling the camera easier and the simplified button layout on the rear is welcome. The ability to move the focus point when using spot focusing is enabled full time on the A73 (it needed to be selected each time on the 2) which is a great improvement, though I'm still getting to grips with the focus point selector joystick. Being able to 'tie' the spot meter to the focus point is also really useful. The action of the Exposure Compensation button has been stiffened so it is less prone to moving accidentally and the front and rear selector wheels are more prominent and so easier to find when using the viewfinder. The shutter sound is much quieter than on the M2 and the ability to go to silent shooting has been useful for wildlife work. The longer battery life is an absolute godsend and I have not felt the need to take a spare battery with me at all so far. The eyecup is more ergonomic too and doesn't keep detaching from the viewfinder, as it did on the M2. Image quality is superb and anecdotally, I would rate it as better then the M2. Downsides? The menu system is still quite complex but once set up to your liking, it isn't necessary to go there too often unless you like to tweak a lot - in which case, familiarity would undoubtedly be achieved soon enough. Charging from a computer now takes forever so the mains unit has to be used - this would have been better with a longer cable so the camera doesn't have to sit on the floor during charging; I got round this by swapping the lead for a longer one but feel one of adequate length should really be supplied at this price point. Images below taken with a variety of lenses (24-105G, 70-200G, 90MacroG) though I shoot in RAW and process in Lightroom so not sure how helpful they are in demonstrating in camera image quality!
