Is the Sony a7RIII worth getting? We’ll get to that in a minute. Here’s the scoop: I moved from Canon to Fuji in late 2016 when Fuji released the XT-2. Fuji changed my entire world. It introduced me to the world of mirrorless and I ain’t never going back to DSLR life! For one year I shot with the XT-2, posting all of my work across the interwebs and convincing people of its magical abilities. I shot everything with the XT-2: commercial jobs, corporate video, agency shoots, personal work, family get-togethers. Even my honeymoon in Thailand. Ah yes, the Fuji and I have made some fantastic memories together. “This is the only camera I ever need,” I whispered to myself one night while tucking the Fuji to sleep. Oh, how wrong I was. Flash forward a few nights later. “Dude, you hear about the new Sony coming out?” my friend Eric texted me. It must have been around midnight, right about the time our conversation always seems to center around gear lust. “You gonna sell the Fuji and get it?” he goaded me. “No way,” I shot back. “I don’t really need another camera,” I said, seemingly trying to convince both him and myself. But then I started thinking. I had recently sold off all my Canon gear, so I only had the XT-2. What kind of professional photographer would I be with only one camera body? Sony *did* have a reputation for making good cameras. And the a7RIII supposedly had a lot of improvements over the previous version. Maybe I could just take a quick peek at the specs and see what it offered. No harm, no foul, right? Twenty minutes later, my cursor is hovering over the “Add to Cart” button as I struggle to keep myself from salivating all over my laptop. “Here goes nothing,” I said as I pre-ordered the camera. That was November 5th. I had to wait an excruciating four weeks before the camera finally arrived at my apartment. Since then, I’ve taken it out for several portrait sessions and can confirm: This camera is one seriously bad-ass machine. Let’s take a look at my top five favorite factors: 1) 42 Megapixels I know, I know. Megapixels aren’t everything. Sure, I agree. BUT FORTY TWO OF THEM?! That’s some serious resolution power! To compare, the Fuji XT-2 offers 24.3mp, which, let’s be real, is more than enough for most photographers. But having 70% more resolution is just insane. The level of detail in its RAW images is astounding. And I love not being afraid to crop my photos for fear of losing quality. 2) 120fps (Slow-mo) Since getting into video last year, I’ve been having a lot of fun shooting slow-mo clips, especially for b-roll footage. The Fuji XT-2 handles video exceptionally well. It might not be the ideal camera for more serious jobs that require long shooting times or heavy post-work, but for smaller gigs, it’s fantastic. That being said, one thing it’s missing is the ability to shoot at 120fps. I convinced myself I didn’t *need* this feature, but man I really wanted it. Enter the a7RIII. Its slow-mo feature is buttery smooth, and the quality is exceptional. I love the “S&Q” option, that lets you capture and playback the footage in slow-mo right in the camera. No longer do I have to settle for shooting 60fps. 3) Battery life I can’t really compare to the a7RII since I never owned it. But I will say this, I’m seriously impressed with the a7RIII’s NP-FZ100 battery. I went out and did two portrait sessions, shooting for maybe three hours total, and didn’t even use 10%! While the Fuji XT-2 certainly doesn’t have a bad battery life, I can’t say it’s quite as good as the Sony’s. 4) Eye-AF Guys, this one is seriously a game-changer. Eye-AF already existed before this camera, but not quite like this. Again, comparing it to the XT-2 is like comparing night and day. While the XT-2 might identify your subject’s eye, forget about precision if they’re moving around at all. The a7RIII, on the other hand, locks onto your subject’s eyes with pinpoint accuracy. They could spin around like the Tasmanian Devil and you could have peace of mind that their eyes will still be in focus. It’s SCARY impressive. Provided that I have good light, all I have to do is hit the center button (where eye-AF is set to by default) and I never EVER have to worry about nailing focus for my portraits. The only times I’ve experienced issues is when my subjects’ faces aren’t exposed too well, forcing the camera to “guess” their eyes are. (Sometimes this results in the camera placing the green square somewhere in the background, which is absolutely frightening, as I imagine it’s picking up the eyes of some invisible ghoul, but I digress.) 5) Shooting continuous at 10fps If you like shooting action, this one is a real treat. Unless you’re coming from the a9 (which shoots at a mind-blowing 20fps), you’re sure to be delighted with the ability to shoot continuously at 10 frames per second. As a portrait photographer, I’ll often ask my subjects to walk, run, or jump in an effort to capture natural movement. Nailing these shots can be challenging if the camera doesn’t shoot at a fast enough frame rate. Though the a7RIII only offers 2 more frames-per-second than the XT-2, here’s where it really shines: Combining eye-AF with the continuous shutter. These two features are a powerful combination, practically guaranteeing that I nail focus for any intentional or unexpected movement. Bottom line: Though I’m known amongst my photographer friends as a fervent Fuji fan, the Sony a7RIII is an irresistible package. I have absolutely no regrets over buying it. Does the Sony replace the XT-2? That depends on what you shoot and what features you appreciate the most in a camera. In my opinion, Fuji is second to none with color science. Their baked-in film simulations are a delight to use. I love the simplicity of their menu system, along with their nostalgic build of their camera bodies. But when it comes to features and specifications, the a7RIII is hard to beat. With medium-format-like resolution, incredibly precise eye-autofocus, and the ability to capture most movement with its 10fps, this camera is a sure winner.

Before I go into my review of this camera lets just go over my camera history, so you know what experiences I am comparing this to. My first digital camera was the Canon Rebel XTi -> Canon EOS 60D -> Canon EOS 6D -> Sony A7ii -> Sony A7Riii. I have also shot with the Sony A7Rii and a few other recent Canon mirrorless cameras like the EOS M and M3. In November of 2016 I made the switch from my 6D to Sony after borrowing a friend’s a7ii for a week. I loved it and it fit my workflow perfectly. I was immediately a fan. I used that camera every day. Fast forward to the announcement of the A7Riii a couple months back and it was the perfect time to upgrade. My focus is photography, but I wanted to be able to shoot 4K video for some projects at work too. I have had my A7Riii for a little over a week now. The slightly different shape is an immediate improvement for me. I have bigger hands and the Sony mirrorless cameras have always been a tad hard to hold on to. The slightly deeper body is actually one of my favorite changes. I picked up the Gariz leather half-case made for the A9 (Gariz XS-CHA9BK) and it fits like a charm and adds just a little more height to the camera as well. I HIGHLY recommend the half-case for people with larger hands, it gives my pinky a place to rest. The image quality out of this camera is insane, but I have used the A7Rii a bit and it is no different, so that is not a surprise. But for people not coming from the A7Rii, the detail you can get out of these sensors blows my mind. Video quality is good, I am just getting started with this area of creativity and am learning. But the ability to shoot flat is great. I am excited to be able to expand in this area. Battery life is great. I personally never have had a problem with carrying a few extra batteries in my pocket. I drove around Iceland for a week with the A7ii and 4 batteries and did fine. But this camera obviously has a much more impressive battery, something I will never say no to. Build quality is something you expect from a camera at this price point. The fitment is great, the buttons feel wonderful. RAW support is something I am patiently waiting for since I use Lightroom. There is a simple EXIF hack to change the camera ID to an A7Rii to get them in Lightroom, but still waiting for official support. (This is 100% on Adobe, but still a point to make) The viewfinder is beautiful. Coming from the A7ii, this makes a big difference. I still have not decided if I use the viewfinder or the LCD more, probably evenly split. But nonetheless the viewfinder is better, that’s welcome. Finally, Autofocus. I can not even begin to explain this. I know the A9 is faster, I know Canon and Nikon have cameras that are faster. But I have NEVER used a camera with autofocus like this one. I have always shot single-focus center point and just “focus and recompose” so that I can quickly get what I want in focus in focus. However, this is the first time in my life I have shot with a camera and I feel it focuses quickly and accurately. I shoot a lot with fast lenses and so focus is very important. This camera absolutely nails it. The subject tracking is incredible, the eye tracking is incredible. In conclusion, if you read this far you have probably already watched every YouTube review on this camera and visited this page 100 times. If you can afford one, you’ll probably get one. If you can’t, you’ll probably save for one. Maybe this review helped someone, that’s all I hope. Take care everyone, and keep on shooting! Read more

Absolutely phenomenal camera. This is my 5th Sony mirrorless and 2nd full-frame, and I'm blown away. They've fixed almost everything that I didn't like in previous cameras, resulting in a body that does exactly what it's supposed to - it gets out of the way and lets me focus on taking amazing photos. There's not much to say that isn't already covered in the glowing reviews posted to every camera blog and site. However, I'll add this: It is amazing to take a full-body, landscape-oriented shot, but be able to crop to a headshot and still print 8x10. I wasn't too sold on the extra MP, but the versatility of being able to do obscene levels of cropping has proven useful in many situations. Read more

It is a great camera, don’t get me wrong but there is a significant trade off here with the ISO performance in low light. I was deceived by the reviews of this camera, thinking it will be an all-round camera for most uses. It is almost the case except for low-light. It doesn’t do a decent job, it is flat out bad. Grainy photos and focus hunt like crazy even on expensive lenses. If have an option, I would have gone for the 7 III instead you don’t mind the resolution drop. Read more

Great camera, just as described. I bought this camera after a lot of research and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed! It is undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) professional cameras in its price range. The seller shipped the camera promptly and I received it before the promised date. The only issue I had was that the camera packaging (the factory box, NOT the seller's packaging) had a some damage, which got me very worried. This seems to be due to the fact that the seller's packaging was pretty minimal and did not offer much protection. I have received way cheaper and less sensitive products with much better packaging. Thankfully, Sony's factory packaging seems to have done its job protecting the camera itself, which had no damage whatsoever. Read more
