Amazing camera
Like everything about this piece. Came from an A7ii that I had for a couple years and this is an impressive upgrade. A mild unhappiness however it seems to have a rather large collection of dust on the sensor right out of the box. Adds an additional 10 mins to post time to get rid of them. I'm not a pro so there is no hurry for me, only frustration. Never had such a problem with the A7ii. I realize it's not a camera issue, just a dust issue.

The one about the charger
Really disappointed this didn't come with a dedicated battery charger. Now I get to wait a whole day just to charge two using the camera. I had to double check the box label to see what contents were included since I thought mine went missing in transition. I already expected to not have a type-c cable included, but not the charger. Releasing a great "basic" camera for only $2,000 shouldn't mean leaving out the charger to "save" on cost.

Amazing Camera
Coming from Nikon and owning the Z6 for a while, I found it didn't meet all my needs. The A7iii however fit the bill, while no camera is perfect, this one has the amazing eye autofocus, across nearly the entire sensor that has allowed me to move away from the need to focus and recompose... something that was necessary coming from the DSLR world. The video on this camera is equally amazing with it's ability to do 4k downsampled from 5k.

Nearly perfect
I jumped from a GH2 all the way to the a7iii. So still lots for me to learn. Some actions/functions disable others, and all this is unclear despite hours of Googling. Please, someone write a decent manual. Also, I don't think the image stabilization is much better than my GH2, which is disappointing. Likewise searching in AFC...GH2 seems better at it. But the amazing ability to shoot in low light is worth the purchase. I'm a believer.

Some models overheat
I bought two of them in 4 months. Serial number starts with 3xxxxx doesnt overheat at all. Serial number starts with 6xxxxx overheated after 40min. Overheat shutdown set to high both cameras. Lucky exchanged the camera to older 3xxxxx series and now working great. It is an amazing camera for the price but so strange new batch has overheating problem. Similar issue happened years ago with Sony a6000. Shame on quality control of Sony !

Sony A7III review
I decided to replace my Canon 5D Mark III upgrading to a Sony A7III. I still own a Canon 5D Mark IV. I photograph landscapes so I can't talk about portrait work, sports or bird photography. So far, I like the Sony after using it several times at sunrise or sunset. I've compared photos taken with both the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sony A7III and frankly can't find any major differences in the IQ. Next test over the weekend, Milky Way!

We get a good product for the price we pay. This is world's cheap and best FULL FRAME camera suitable for both video and still work. Blazing fast auto-focus, 4k, eye-af, dual card slots, joystick, incredible image quality, longer battery life etc. I can't ask for more. With the launch of this cheap and best camera, I would like to recommend some cheap and best lenses too. Sony G 90mm/2.8, Zeiss 55mm/1.8, Sony 28mm/2.0, Sony 85mm/1.8.

So far, fabulous!
Only one weekend of shooting with this, and still a lot to learn about its full capabilities. But so far, wow! It's all it's cracked up to be. Have paired it with a new Sony 24-105 zoom (surprisingly light) and the very fast Sony SDXC UHS-II card to take full advantage of the camera's speed. Couldn't be happier. B&H was great, very happy with the advice received from the Chat people, when deciding on this versus an upgraded Canon.

Still the best pick for Full-Frame Mirrorless in q4 2018
This thing is an absolute beast. The low light capabilities are AMAZING. 10fps shooting in stills mode, 4k 25fps video and 120fps in 1080p is essential, not to mention the dual card slots. Even in September 2018 this is the best bang for your buck. The Nikon Z series and new Canon Mirrorless cameras (that aren't even available yet) can't touch the value and performance of this camera. There's a reason they're always back-ordered.

Excellent camera body, some ergonomic complaints.
Of course, this is a great camera -- exactly why it is the world's top-selling camera body at the time of writing, so no need to laud all of the excellent things, but a few minor ergonomics are annoying...the shutter button feels soft and without any real detent to feel when it is fully depressed (far different than the a7rIV), and a few other button complaints, but all just relative to what's out there. Nothing to stop the show.

Amazing Camera!
Extremely pleased with the Sony A7III. The menu is HUGE, so many options and you can customize your own. The lighter weight and smaller size are so much better for my hands and wrists. Images look great. Can't wait to buy the 24-70mm GM. If the images look this good on a kit lens I can only imagine how fantastic images will look with better glass. The accessories kit came in handy with the extra battery, camera bag, and charger.

Great Camera Overall
Having used Sony mirrorless cameras consistently in the past, this was a nice upgrade at the past with improved autofocus and battery life being the main upgrades from things like the A7s2, which I still use as well. The menu is large and disorganized, in my opinion, but you get use to it after a while. Other than that, you can expect similar performance from any other Sony mirrorless produced within the last two-three years.

Complex but Excellent!
Sony has outdone itself again. The new a7iii is a fine piece of photographic equipment. It has a plethora of options, electronic bells and whistles, and a wonderful sensor (the details have been exhaustively analyzed online). My only difficulty has been navigating the EXTENSIVE menu structure. Trying to locate things can be off-putting. Nonetheless, this is a huge step forward for mirrorless technology. Nikon and Canon beware!

Still Playing with the Camera
I just upgraded from my previous Sony and I can say there is a lot of good things about this camera. The photo quality is outstanding and the video is excellent.. You really have to get use to a lot of the features being I shoot inside a studio you have to make sure your whites and colors are projected correctly.. So I am still learning a couple of my own tricks.. I did a couple of shows outside and everything was WONDERFUL...

The Best Full Frame Camera for The Money
As a wedding videographer, I own a Sony A6300, Sony A6500 and Sony FS5. I really love the A6500 but felt like I needed a full frame camera so I sold my A6300 and bought the A7III. It really exceeded my expectations far beyond my dreams. 1. This camera gives me the flexibility of jumping back and forth from full frame and super 35mm. 2. The auto-focus is insane! 3. The battery life is amazing! I recommend this camera.

Very Happy.
Ive had the camera three weeks now and I am very pleased. The settings menu and controls customization was far less intimidating than I had imagined, thanks to YouTube tutorials. Also, as a long time Nikon shooter, I found that the manual aperture and shutter controls are right where they need to be. I would give it five stars but I havent had it long enough to know how reliable and durable it is. Ill check back in a year.

Best Camera Out Right Now!
I have owned the Sony a9 and currently also have an a7rIII. The a7III is amazing. I would prefer to own two Sony a7III cameras vs one Sony a9. The only feature I miss from the a9 is the zero blackout while shooting high speed. The Sony a7III is also a better buy than the a7rIII in my opinion. If you want a larger image you will need the a7rIII and you will love it, but for the price, the a7III is where it's at right now.

Awesome screen in sun, battery life, and touch operation
There is so much to like about this camera. I have the a7sii and a7rii and bought this to replace my a7sii mostly because of the touchscreen. Most of my work is on a gimbal and being able to control focus on the a7sii has always driven me crazy. Additionally, being able to actually see the monitor outside in sunlight is a big plus. And the battery life is fantastic. No more having to swap out batteries every 15 minutes.

An excellent entry level full frame camera
The Sony A73 is a great camera. As an enthusiastic Olympus M43 user, I wanted to discover the potential advantages of a full frame sensor. While I am certain there are circumstance where low light, noise and dynamic range will be superior, I am not completely convinced that the image quality is substantially better, especially considering the size and weight disadvantages. I am still discovering with an open mind.

Love this camera. Value is unreal!
Have about a week with the camera and it's great. So much value for under $2k. Images are great so far. Done a little video and looks great. The customization and Sony menus are the tipping point for this camera. If you muscle through setting things us (still working on that) this is where it really is a jack-of-all-trades. So far matched up with GM 24-70 but know I know the body is staying, more glass to come.

Amazing!!!
This is the most amazing camera ever. Great quality in both 1080 and 4K, 0 and 120 fps are smooth, AF is great and battery life is great too I shoot video and one battery last 3-4 hours. the Menu is way better coming from a6500 and My Menu option is great because you can program your favorite option and you can basically forget boy the other Menu. I wait almost 3 months to get this camera and it is worth it!!!

BEST first full frame camera
I upgraded from a Canon SL1 and man it is a huge upgrade. Bumping ISO up to 2000 will give you even amazing images with very little noise. The 28-70mm lens exceeded my expectations. It performs really well and cant beat it at $200 for an add on. I can see myself using this lens often, only thing to note is it does not have a wide aperture, so isn't great for bokeh but still does real good. 100% would recommend

Instant gratification, almost!
This camera is a fantastically quick focusing machine, and the ISO settings go up so high, you can virtually shoot in total darkness (almost). The 24 megapixel sensor is wonderful, too. Very smooth, never grainy, photos and videos so far. Cons: I am not used to so many choices and sub-menus in the menu. Spending too many hours watching Youtube tutorials! Too many focus choices...but generally love the camera.

Amazing Camera
I have been a Sony camera owner for many years. The A7iii blows them all away. This is an amazing camera! I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and I am very impressed with the quality and speed of this camera. My camera came with Firmware 3.0 so I have had no issues with 3rd party batteries. I love this kit B&H has put together! I was fortunate to get it on sale with B&H so the price was perfect!
