Movies can be captured in 4k resolution with either full-frame coverage or in a Super 35 APSC crop I’m confirming frame rate limitations. It’ll shoot respectably fast too, at 10fps with continuous autofocus whether you’re using the mechanical or silent electronic shutter there’s room for 177 JPEGs in the buffer and it’ll also capture 14 bit RAW files, only switching down to 12 bit when shooting bursts with the compressed RAW option. The phase-detect array matches that of the flagship A9 and while it’s understandably not as quick, the A7 III still focuses and tracks twice as well as its predecessor and now also supports eye-detection. It’s stabilized inside the body with a five-axis system good for five stops and also features 693 embedded phase-detect AF points across 93% of its area, working alongside 425 contrast-based areas at light levels down to -3EV. The A7 III is based around a new 24 Megapixel full-frame sensor that’s now back-illuminated for lower noise and higher dynamic range. Announced in February 2018, this successor to the A7 Mark II may share the same resolution as before but enjoys upgrades in low-light performance, speed, autofocus coverage and density, video quality, controls and connectivity. The Sony Alpha A7 III is the new ‘entry-level’ model in the full-frame Alpha mirrorless series, but punches above its weight with a 24 Megapixel sensor, built-in stabilisation, 4k movies, 10fps continuous shooting with autofocus, and the longest claimed battery life of any mirrorless camera to date. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the Sony A7 III at Amazon, B&H, or Adorama, or Wex. For anyone desiring full-frame, the A7 III could be all the camera you need and also the model to tempt many DSLR owners into switching. Oh and as a third generation Sony A7 model, the A7 III also enjoys the better controls and bigger battery of the A7r III which essentially banishes previous concerns over mirrorless. Pros shooting one-off occasions will appreciate the security of twin SD card slots, studio shooters will enjoy the high speed tethering and USB power, while travellers and social photographers will love the Wifi and seamless location tagging over Bluetooth. It delivers crisp and satisfying images from its 24 Megapixel full-frame sensor, captures good-looking 4k video in either full-frame or cropped APSC modes, handles itself confidently for action with 10fps bursts and phase-detect autofocus across almost the entire sensor, while also being ideal for events with excellent face and eye detection as well as the chance to shoot in genuine silence. Summary The Sony Alpha A7 III is a highly versatile and feature-packed camera that redefines what we can expect from a full-frame body at this price point. ![]()
