For 95% of people A7III is more than enough, I’m in that 95% as well but recently upgraded to A7IV

[ZequiHouseRD]

Thank you!! I got A7iii for mainly photos and don't regret it, AF system is fantastic for events and portraits but not in video, photo QUALITY despite of more megapixels on the 4 is not night and day better on the A7IV, just more resolution 🙌🙌📸

I bought the A7iii in 2020…it’s still a workhorse for many professional photographers world wide!

[suilenroc]

I just got my A7iii and I am now beginning my journey into photography, I always had some knowledge because I used to shoot some stuff with the DSLR my Mom has and sometimes I took the a6400 my GF uses.
I am really hyped to get into astrophotography, I want to do the Milky way one day and some moon shots too, but of course test out everything else that comes to mind.

[boycefitzgerald]

I have both and fully agree with your conclusions. I do mostly video and use the iii as a backup and time lapse body.

[NateNakao]

The A7 IV is probably going to be the option for me. I often shoot in portrait at low angles, and the A7 III prevents me from taking those shots with the way that screen pulls out.

[Wade_Adakai]

I have both, I use both all the time. The A7iii’s use case has been mainly for photos and a second angle for video, whereas the A7IV is entirely video. It’s been working well for me 👍🏽

[Kevon]

The new ergonomics, menu system, and EVF make a big difference to me – I’d always pick the a7IV even if that means saving up a bit more.

I would switch only for 10bit footage and the better flip screen, the rest is secondary; but $600 gap 🤔

[travisminneapolis]

I LOVE the old flip out monitor because when you plug in cables to the left, you can't articulate it nearly as easy as the old style that always can flip up or down.

Just can't do selfie photos - but for the most part the old flip method is just better imho

Another great camera for video is the sony a6700 and it’s really great it also supports 4k/60 and even 4k/120(cropped in) and its also way cheaper

[lewcehjitl]

A7iii was a ground breaking camera never has there been a Mirrorless camera like it. Now they cripple cameras so you can buy more expensive ones. Overall I’d get the a7iii to shoot RAW photos they are outstanding and dynamic range is amazing also 4k video. Now the a7iv has some features where it’s more of a upgrade camera 4k10bit ext. overall I’d start with the a7iii then later upgrade to the a7iv

[raw_pc]

Either go for A7III or straight to A7SIII for much better video capabilities than A7IV.

[xkumak]

I personally bought a 3 cause I prefer the screen, af and video don’t matter to me, and from what I could tell the 3 had more shots per full battery. Just made more sense.

[_HanaPanda]

I upgraded from a nikon d5200 to the Sony a7iv, I wanted to dable in video as well as continue to do photography. And I love it. ❤️

[Watcheyes]

Its a good question which I have thought about. The price between a7iii and a7iv wasn't that much, around 600 dollar, I don't know if anyone can see the difference between 10 bit and 8 but still the new menu system feels nice and maybe 4k 60 fps can be used sometimes. But the new flexible screen is great, so I think that's about it. But it's a close call...

[Bee-RoseMartinez]

I would get it simply for the fully articulated screen. That's the only thing I don't like about the 7iii

[myong]

I purchased my A7iii back in 2019 and it is still an awesome camera. Now I wouldn’t mind upgrading to the A7iv for the 10 bit color and the autofocus because I think the A7iii autofocus can wonky sometimes but I’m afraid that the moment I decide to buy the A7iv then the A7V will be announced so I’ll just wait and keep trucking along with the A7iii. Still a great camera by the way.

[izzy]

I could get the a7iii but jumping into photography outside of phone work is pricey. I still don't think I can justify the setup but it's nice to have for those special moments in life.

[itsROMPERS...]

I was trying to decide which to get, and while video doesn't really matter to me, neither does photo.
So I'm not getting either one.
