EXCELLENT! As this body has met, even exceeded, my expectations, I will now sell my entire Nikon inventory and concentrate on Sony. The A7R-III replaces my D810 and joins my Sony video cameras with E-mount lenses, of which I have many primes. I will keep just one A7S-II as a backup for low light situations.

Replacement/supplement for a 2008 6-pound Nikon D3.

Who can't love 42 megapixels?! Set to "AUTO" it is amazing. I can't bother with a 650-page user manual. The manual however is on my computer. Using it for now with my old Leica-M lenses with good results.

Excellent camera!

There is nothing on the market at this price point that even comes close to the specs and quality of this camera! Did a birthday shoot over the weekend and I was very happy. Some low light photos had a bit more noise than I would have liked, but I was using a Cannon 24-105 with the sigma MC-11 adapter and no flash...sooooo. Just a fair warning, in my opinion, the kit lens is garbage LOL.

Best camera I've ever owned

I was a little apprehensive about switching to Sony products but now that I have I have no regrets. This camera is fantastic. The quality of the pictures are unbelievable. Taking bird pictures many times I am cropping 100-200%. The clarity, color and bokeh is the best I've seen. Now I want to go back and take all my pictures over again with this camera.

great landscape camera but also versatile for birds etc.

I am really enjoying this new body which I upgraded to from the a7II. Ergonomics are way better. Love being able to zoom in with joystick and autofocus. Autofocus is way better and tracks birds and thing pretty well. Mainly a landscape photographer and it is great for that! I wish the LCD was fully articulated but everything else is great.

I waited so long to buy this camera bundle because it's so expensive but now I feel stupid for waiting. It's upped the quality of everything I do, video and photo...truly next level. To know as an indie artist my work can compete with the big dogs, especially as I get better at photoshop and final cut. Thank you!

I am not going to relist all the amazing features, as there are plenty on the net already. After returning 3 Fujifilm GFX-50R/63mm lenses, my biggest appreciation towards my old Sony A7R and the A7Riii are its reliability. Sony has been totally worry free cameras to me, and when I need to take a pictures, the shutter responses! Fujifilm needs to learn this from the Sony! Every camera retailers need to learn from B&H! Totally a worry free retailer we can trust on!

Great product and service.

Customer service was good as usual and I paid for the upgraded shipping option and I got it faster then expected even though I live in Hawai'i which I appreciated. Now it's back to YouTube to watch more tutorials. I used my new camera to create the last couple of videos on my ig if anyone wants to see it.

I went from a Nikon 3000 to a Sony A7II in October. Was inspired so much by that camera that I jumped to the A7RIII. I really like the increase in quality of pictures. So far I only shoot stills in the manual setting. I took my first action sports pictures and they turned out great. I have always injoyed taking landscape picture. Now I even want to dabble in portrait.

Had the A7R2 and was great but the A7R3 takes things to a whole new level! 10fps with mechanical shutter, amazing IQ, fantastic 4K video with and without crop, the game changing Eye Autofocus...there are so many stunning features that basically the camera gets out of the way during your photoshoot. The fact that Eye AF works so great even with Canon lenses just makes it too sweet.

Ive been thoroughly impressed with the RIII thus far. I appreciate the additional resolution in a familiar package as I'm pairing this alongside my A9. With the firmware updates providing many of the benefits of the newer models, Im happy to say that this camera provides everything I need. I'd like to rent the RIV from time to time, but didn't want to bog down my memory with it's MP's . . .the RIII has plenty for commercial output.

I am a 100% sony user since my beginnings and I really see that with this camera I can improve my work; doubt a lot between the 7iii and the 7iiiR since their features are very similar and the price is not. But what led me to make the decision is its resolution since when making cuts and frames, quality is not lost with respect to the 7iii and its shutter is designed to last twice as long.
