Amazing Camera and Good Accessories
Sony Alpha a7R III Mirrorless Digital Camera Body with Accessories Kit
Reviewed by Cole on B&H Photo Video
Everyone knows that the Sony A7r3 is an absolutely incredible camera, but it still blew me away. I have been waiting a very long time to upgrade (from a super old Sony amateur camera) and this camera blew me away. All the customization is amazing and the handling. Last night I viewed the photos for the first time on a computer and there is SO much detail. Speaking to the accessories, they're all very nice. I personally won't ever use the shoulder bag, but it's of very nice quality. The SD card and extra battery are great and have worked well so far. All of the accessories were great, especially considering they were included in the kit for no extra cost than the camera itself! ... More
Retired Pro Consistently Amazed!

I'm a retired professional from NYC now living in Mexico. I shot advertising, catalog, photojournalism, still life, everything. This kit cost me less than half of what the estimated repair was on my medium format digital. The Sony camera consistently amazes me. It's smarter and steadier than I am at age 66. Shots that other cameras would back-focus this puppy nails it and with 40 megapixels you can still count the eyelashes on a group of five! I'm very happy. It's always by my side.

The a7R III lives up to its blurbs so far. I use it mostly for landscape/architecture/wildlife. I like the way it captures detail, and retains that detail through multiple enlargements. Since I do mostly outdoor stuff, I have no experience with its low light capabilities , staying as I do in the ISO 200 and below range. I did get some good shots of the recent eclipse, but that did not require upper ISO. Excellent camera.
Best yet!!

After years of struggling with increasing age and increasing weight and complexities of photo equipment, the Sony a7Riii has finally filled the void. Although concerns with complexity were high, the availability of online training has made it a breeze. Looking forward to adding lenses. The B&H staff has been excellent in answering my questions about functionality of the equipment.
No water protection for battery compartment

Reviewed by John on B&H Photo Video
I saw a couple threads about water and the bottom of the body not being water tight so I took a close look at the battery cover. Towards the back of it there is a rectangular structure that serves no apparent purpose, and is connected to the cover by only a few small pieces of plastic. The photo is my cover backlit by a flashlight. Where you can see light coming through is where water can get into the battery compartment. Is everyones cover like this? Are the A73 and A9 the same? You can check by just holding up to a light. ... More

This camera is a beast. This is the generation that mirrorless overtakes DSLRs. This camera has image quality that rivals some of the newer medium format cameras and can shoot 8 FPS uncompressed or 10 compressed raws.

Amazing Camera - lots to learn about it

Reviewed by Shirley on B&H Photo Video
I am still getting to know this new camera. I am familiar with the Sony system having used the the a7II for four years. The menu system is even more complex in the a7RIII and the camera is capable of far more than I understand at this point. I would suggest that you read reviews written by professional photographers in order to know if this is the camera for your own particular needs. I am primarily a Landscape photographer and I think its going to be very good for what I want to do.
EXECELLENT CAMERA AND LENS COMBO

Reviewed by o.chin on B&H Photo Video
I bought this camera and the 24-70mm 2.8 lens combo. because of all the great reviews. I was looking at the canon 5dmk4 because I have all canon lens setup. End up selling the Canon 5dmk3, and bought the Sony and GM lens. Sony finally have a excellent zoom lens. I used this on two Christmas party only. So far I am very happy with the image quailty and the lens is very sharp. This setup is all you need.
Responsive, innovative AF system, full frame IBIS

Very surprised about how well AF works (especially with lock-on flexible spot in AF-C). Technically this can be two cameras in one (42mp full frame or 18mp APS-C). Matches really well with EF sigma lens via MC-11

This is a huge functional step-up from my A7RII - it feels more solid, the viewfinder images is at least an order of magnitude better for focusing manual focus lenses such as the Loxias. Autofocus is significantly improved including eye-AF, etc. I could go one but no need - its great.

What a great bonus on top of an already great camera. Big thanks to B&H for offering this collection of accessories. The bag is great, love it. SD card is fast (not huge, but great for getting started), and the extra battery rounds out the deal. I just feel so confident right out of the gate with this kit. One thing I wish I also did was order a matching Full Frame lens to go with this kit. B&H has a great selection, and the options offered with this camera were ideal and at a good price point. Seriously happy with this Sony camera, accessory kit, and B&H overall. ... More
A worthy upgrade

Reviewed by James on B&H Photo Video
I had the A7rii and the ergonomics and responsiveness is just what was needed. I can't say that I notice any picture quality difference (even the colors seem pretty close to me), but the speed is quite impressive. The viewfinder is noticeably improved and I also love splitting raw files to one card and jpegs to the other. Also, USB-c is huge for me since my other devices use it too. Loving it so far.
Amazing Upgrades

I've had an A7rii and a Nikon D810. The best new aspect of this camera is the AF. Its miles ahead of the previous 2 cameras. Most of the photos are keepers and very few did I have to discard. I shot a hockey game and it was amazing. I shot over 1200 shots for over 5 hours and still had about 40% in the battery. On the Arrii, that would have been 2-3 batteries. The ergonomics have also improved. I bought the grip and use it with the 70-200 f2.8. It doesnt have the comfort of a DSLR, but I bought it for the smaller size. Ive sold both the A7rii and D810, I still use the Nikon D500 for wildlife and sports but this camera ia my main camera now and is used for everything else. Its amazing ... More
The Can-Do Camera

A great piece of engineering, this camera can do so many things well. Which is what you'd expect from cameras at this price point, but we haven't really had it in years. The 10FPS is an amazing improvement for sports, and the eye auto focus is a game changer for portraits. So much good in this camera... I haven't encountered a down-side that another camera has solved yet.

Reviewed by Michael on B&H Photo Video
We wanted to upgrade from our A7Rii and this was the perfect upgrade. It's been incredible so far; we've used it to shoot headshots for a law firm, video for a few weddings, and photos in our city. All of the photo and video from it have been amazing, not surprising to me. The spare battery and card were a great addition too! The auto focus is a huge improvement from the R2, much much faster and nails it every time. Can't wait to continue using this camera.

Reviewed by Marcus on B&H Photo Video
The A7R III was the lauded heavyweight full-frame camera of 2017 and it's still a strong contender to this day. It's night and day more powerful and capable than my A7 II. Other reviews will cover more ground but my favorite features are: - Incredible video and photo quality - The ability to shoot @ a 1.6x crop at the push of a button - The build quality This is a great camera that I will likely not grow out of for 5 years.

This camera was a surprise gift from my husband. It is now a proud big sister to my a7ii. This checks all the boxes and only enhances my Sony loyalty. With only a miniscule deduction for a complicated menu system (but I'm a big girl and learn fast, so no biggie) I don't hesitate to give it 5 big, fat stars.
Great for long exposures

Reviewed by John on B&H Photo Video
I have owned the A7R11 since it came out and it is a nice camera but it is extremely poor for long exposures. I recently purchased the A7R111 and was surprised how good the images are with long exposures. At a four minute exposure there is no noise of hot pixels in the image when blown up to 400%. Sony has done a great job with how this camera handels noise. I won't be stacking several images for a long exposure look with this camera.

I have been a Sony shooter for 10 years now and have always found the build and quality of Sony gear great for my outdoor adventures. I recently upgraded to the a7R III from the Sony a77 and am very happy about the upgrade. The a77 was a beast and took a beating hiking and kayaking. The build of the a7R III is great so far. My suggestion would be to watch a few YouTube videos on how to customize the buttons to get the best set-up that works for you. My only complaints is that touch functionality is very limited and the screen is not a flip screen, just pops out and moves up and down. ... More
