Should You STILL Buy The A7R III In 2024?

Is the Sony A7R III still worth it in 2024? Sony has released dozens of cameras since the release of the A7R III back before the pandemic. With rumors of an A7R V coming in the fall, does it still make sense to buy this older camera? Well in my a7r iii review I compare the cameras specs to newer models and try to weigh the pros and cons against how much these newer models will cost. All in all, the Sony A7R III is still an amazing camera, even all these years later.

The A7Riii's sensor is my favorite that I have ever used. I also have the A7iv but the A7riii photos just have an extra level of detail that I like.

You have to think about it. When this camera came out for the first time, it was the best and professional photographers got the best-looking pictures and video from it. If you're just starting to do photography and you want to take a really good photo, then you don't need a $5, 000 rig to capture the images. You just need experience and also, when you edit a picture through adobe or any other software, editing is to improve you picture. Not to fix pictures. I have a Canon EOS 80D and whenever I take a shot of someone, they always tell me that it's a really good photo. Even other professional photographers have told me that. All you need to have been experience and how to use each setting right. Yeah, you might want to get a better camera overtime and that's great, but it isn't always about the money. It's how you use it. Hopefully this helps for people that seem unclear of what to get when choosing a camera.

September 2024 and this camera still holds up and in Uk second hand market is a steal. New subscriber and enjoyed watching. 🥳🥳🥳

I've bought A7R3 when it released in 2017 and been shooting it ever since. That body has circled the world several times, no issues yet.

People are questioning it? I was still using my 5d mark iii for professional shoots for years until last year. People nerd out about fancy features to the point the camera in the future will probably shoot for you

[Framegxd]

Well spoken and not biased like most on YouTube. Thanks for the info!

[SpiritLifeMinistriesInt]

Yes! I sold my A7RIV and A7IV and bought the A7RIII again. It is by far the best one I've used.

Saw a shot of the Louisville skyline in there. You won a new subscriber lol.

in 2025, a7rii still good.even you have cheap tamron lens.but a7m3 and a7riii have new Battery and focus system.so it's a good choise.

With the release of the a7r5, i snagged myself another cheap r3 body, i now have a7r6 lol, most of the time i shoop on super 35 mode... 18 megapixels is good enough for what i do. heck ive been shooting 12 megapixel cameras and did good for magazine prints

I've been looking to upgrade to a full frame camera and after looking at all of my options within this price range i've found the a7riii to be the best bang for the buck and the perfect camera for my personal needs. Its kinda like a swiss army knife being that it can do a little bit of everything. Its great in low light wich is good for long exposure and astro photography. The number of autofocus points and the 10fps shooting is more than adequate for wildlife and sports photography. Plus the higher megapixels will help with macro photography or any shots that you need to crop in close on without losing detail. Not to mention the 4k video capabilities. Canon has solid offerings for around the same price point with the rp and the r8 but neither of those have dual card slots which is very important if you intend to turn photography into a business. The last thing you want is to be shooting someone's wedding and have a card malfunction resulting in the loss of all your clients photos.

Ive had the Sony A65 for the past 14 years and its been a strong power house for me over the course of its life, but I am now ready to upgrade, and I am going for the A7RIII. I am excited.

[jmcdeal]

Good information for helping me with a decision. Thanks.

I've just dusted off my A7Riii, which has been my (unused) backup camera for three whole years. I was using an A7iii, which is now up for sale. The same camera in so many ways, but dang, the A7Riii files are quite spectacular. All the hybrid peeps want 10 bit video, but if you're just doing stills, the A7Riii is insane value for money, when you look at the used prices, and consider what you're getting.

I ordered a 7RIII A today, for the price difference to the IV, I bought a 24-70mm f2.8 Sigma lens

[justinianovisual]

I still use my a7rii and that bad boy still take amazing photos.

[tweetnam]

Coming from a7iii to a7riii, i might miss some slight agility and sensor af coverage BUT i got high refresh rate evf, 42mp, pixel shift, expected 500k shutter life, and rugged body.

[mlzs_]

I own it, I love it (with a 28 75 g2 and 200 600)

I'm upgrading to an A7RIII, while my well used A7III and A7II will be backups. The extra MPs will allow me to get more reach out of my existing lenses, still getting 12MP in APSC mode. More than ok in Wedding and Event photography. Thanks to your video, which just reinforces my decision.
