Superb picture quality, Resolution to burn, Twin card slots
Large and heavy (with lens), Few trick modes (e.g. time-lapse, stop motion)
Really, it's hard to see how a still camera could be any better than the Sony Alpha7R III. The thing is superb. Just remember, it'll typically be a bit of a lump to carry around. The site for the Sony Alpha 7RIII is here...
Until now, Sony has been the only mirrorless camera manufacturer to offer cameras with ‘full-frame' sensors; but that's about to change. On 23 August Nikon will unveil its first mirrorless camera, which will have a full-frame sensor and a new lens mount...
The α7R III was recently announced as the winner of this year's Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for the Best Professional High Resolution Mirrorless camera so it should be no surprise that we've nominated it for an Editor's Choice award. Th...
Image quality, image quality, image quality – fabulous, Flexibility – will suit wedding, events, street and landscape photographers in particular, Impressive autofocus performance, Much improved battery life, A market leader in full-frame, interchangeabl
Too complicated – the menus, in particular, are very difficult to work out, Very expensive – and as such asks a big question, Very slow in clearing image buffer, The grip could be a little wider (particularly if hefting a large telephoto lens around), UHS
A great camera with a few flaws that has really taken it up to the big boys in the top end full-frame DSLR market. Has every right to be considered a major contender by anybody looking to move into high end hardware. Will convert some pro photographers to...
Abstract: For three years now I've been using the Sony A7S as my primary camera. It's compact and it's incredible in low-light, but in certain regards the camera is starting to show its age and doesn't really fit all my needs: It's limited to 12-megapixel photos, a...

The Sony Alpha A7R III is easily one of the best cameras you can buy at the moment. I think we are slowly coming to a point where professional cameras don’t need to be traditional full frame DSLRs. The time of the mirrorless camera has truly come and the...
Despite its relative newcomer status to serious digital photography, Sony has made huge strides to catch up with its veteran rivals – and the A7R III is testament to that.Taking all the good bits from previous A7 models (the OLED viewfinder, solid build...
Abstract: This mirrorless full-frame takes its predecessor's superb resolution and throws in 10fps shooting too – amazing!OF course, it was bound to happen. We knew Sony had the technology to combine high resolution with high-frame rates from the moment it laun...
Abstract: VerdictThe A7R III is so powerful and versatile that it seems churlish to criticise it at all – but we are going to knock off half a star for its troubling body-lens size mismatch, and 530/650-shot battery life, which is good for mirrorless but poor nex...
