    Best Vlogging camera ever…!!!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 3, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved it especially the video quality and the vlogging camera style. The low light performance is out of this world at 12,000+ ISO. I like the flip screen a lot. I just wished the camera was as crisp as the Sony A1. It does heat up when recording at 4K and shuts off the camera but there is a work around this issue in the settings.

    Incredible!!!! Camera

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - October 14, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I’m coming from a a7iii so moving down to 12 mp I was pretty worried but let me tell you unless you are doing heavy cropping this camera is insane it takes even better low light photos, so on the photography side of things don’t worry because this camera is delivers. Now for video this camera is mind blowing and most importantly the reliability is a must have for me and it doesn’t disappoint, also being able to charge the camera with a usb c to a power bank is awesome. 9 outa 10 for me.

    Beast of a camera!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 27, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spectacular camera. I bought it to shoot videos and wasn't expecting the photos to be any good, honestly, but even the quality of the pictures are incredible. Of course when you crop it doesn't look as good as the original because of the low MP count, but to me that's not a problem. I've been shooting Canon for a while and it amazed me how sharp the image of the sony is. Definitely recommend if you want a beast of a camera for low light shooting and amazing dynamic range.

    Tempting When Discounted. Don't Buy Now.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 30, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: - 4K 120fps in All-Intra via S&Q Mode - Unbeatable 12MP Full-Frame Sensor in low light - Dull Native ISO at 12,800 - SLOG3 support - Dual CF Express slots - New Menu System - Durable Build Quality - Loads of Customizable Buttons - Holds Re-sale value Cons: - Virtually nonexistent Firmware Updates - Steep price at $3,200, considering upcoming options - Lack of RAW recording options - Color science can be weird at times While this camera was a no-brainer four years ago, the current offerings from Nikon and Panasonic with RAW recording and frequent firmware updates, including ARRI log, along with Nikon's acquisition of RED, make me hesitant to recommend this camera. Despite previously owning it multiple times, I ended up reselling it each time. Presently, I am using a BMPCC 6K Pro because of BRAW. RAW codecs are the future, and this camera's lack of updates might relegate it to a novelty collector's item in 2-3 years. I recommend the Nikon Z8 over the Sony A7S3 now.

    Best camera for hybrid video work.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 24, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best camera for wedding videography. I use 3 of these for my wedding business. The low light performance and dynamic range is amazing. Slog-3 is awesome and there’s so much room for color grading when shooting in 10 bit 4:2:2. The files are so easy to work with.

    An Absolute Beast

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - October 16, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is everything I've dreamed of as a content creating video machine. I run a YouTube channel and my old A7III and A6600 always had limitations. The A7SIII just does EVERYTHING and it does everything well. Never overheats even when shooting 4K 120P. The stabilization with "Active" turned on is really good... This camera is just mind blowing. Working with the XAVC-I footage is a breeze even on a mid-grade laptop. If you're on the fence about buying something cheaper like an A7III... I'd save up and get the A7SIII. It's going to be my workhorse for years to come

    Best on the market

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - February 23, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sony a7siii is a great camera that has all the features you'd want for filming. It's the best in its price range, outclassing all other competitors. The addition of the flip out screen and the new menu layout are game changers! And as a former Canon user, I love being able to record in 4k, 10-bit, 120fps without the silly crop factor of the Canon EOS r and the overheating issues of the EOS r5. My only complaint about the a7siii is that it doesn't currently have S-Cinetone, but Sony recently announced that it will be coming with the 2.0 firmware update! You really can't go wrong with this unrivaled beast of a camera!
