My a7iii bought at launch is still going strong after many years.

[Molekuehlable]

Going to buy a a7iii soon with a Sigma 1.4 85mm. Cant wait to shoot again after about 3 years of being broke and not able to afford an Upgrade from my very old Sony a57

[RWAXA]

Bought mine 2022 with Tamron 28-75 G2, Now I have the 70-200 GM II & 24-70 GM II and the A7III is still going strong for stills and static videos.

Purchased my A7III in May 2023 with a Sigma 24-70 2.8. Can affirm the photography performance, absolutely beautiful images. Not a massive videographer myself but my most wanted features are 10bit colour and 4k60. Also, the lack of an articulating screen is particularly annoying for vertical shooting. Another big issue which I was aware of but didn't fully comprehend until using it is the poor screen quality. The low resolution really makes a difference, making it difficult to see focus even in AF, and other screen elements.

Lack of 4k60 is the biggest reason to not buy in 2024 I would say, otherwise it could easily last another 10 years, especially photography wise. Price is super cheap right now for what it is but it may be worth comparing to used A7iv prices.

A great camera that will continue to age well into the next decade.

Got mine, a used one, this January during my trip to Japan.
Dreaming of a full frame camera since more than ten years and now it happened. To me, it’s the best camera I have ever owned. Nothing bad to say about my A6300 and RX100 III but the picture quality of the A7 III is just superior.
Anyways, your video is great as always.

Thanks so much, this was super helpful before making my purchase.

I'm a photographer for all styles and this camera has the best ISO in photography than all the new releases, A1, A7IV, A9, Z9 and R3. waiting for Sony to launch something that surpasses it in this regard.

Literally got back from Japan yesterday and I still use the A7 III for photos on my trips. For video however I switched to the A6700.

you can get a7iii used in great condition for under 1000euros (1000usd in usa); with a bit of thinkering and getting to know how to use it you can have amazing results. a7iii for video is still great! Slog3 is great even though it's 8 bit, just use cine color instead of sgamut and that will fix noise. also, HLG3 in low light even on high iso like 5000 looks amazing, and with almost no noise. at f2.8, ISO 5000 and 1/50 shutter, you have enough light for HLG3 in city night scenes, stop down to 2.0 or lower if you need more light. Even in 1080p it's looking great, the trick is to set the details to 0, manual, type5 and sharpen it in post. that will look soo much better than original 1080p. also, a7iii supports downscaling 4K to 1080p over HDMI, so if you plan to use it with video switcher like atem mini, you can set it to run on 4K, and then in HDMI settings set it to 1080p HDMI out. that will give you amazing 1080p video for live streaming

only thing that anoys me on a7iii (compared to newer sony cameras, and even apsc line like a6400) is the autofocus especially in SLog. It misses more times than it works in Slog3 especially if there is a strong backlight. on HLG and without PP it works great. a7c fixed that- so IMHO if you don't need second SD card, a7c is the way to go as the best camera for the money you can get now

[carlosaldaz]

im using it in the worst case scenarios, nightclub - 2 dark rooms, with 100 lasers, and is a beauty!

[jpsatre]

Awesome job! considering A7iii myself! thanks!

[ajitshrestha]

just when i needed im getting my a7iii tomorrow as a secondary cam🤙🏼🤙🏼

[JavierEstebanJE]

Been loving the style of your latest videos, also the thumbnails feel more interesting I don't know why! Wish you could show or do more japan related content, like doing a full video in japanese with subtitles or showing a little bit more about your life there!!

[umutkara]

Hello, in my region, this machine and the Fujifilm X-S20 are sold for the same price. Frankly, will be my first time buying a camera. In general, I am thinking of taking portrait shots and sharing them on social media for fun. I don't think I will make a video. I would be happy to receive your suggestion. Thank you, stay well :)).

[MikeDMedia]

I just got an a7iii for 500 bucks, 12k shutter count, and bout a samyang 24-70 2.8 for 800. I think it's gonna be a pretty good setup for 1300 bucks! When something works I think it will always work! Great video. Of course tue new stuff gets better..

[aziizby]

Man im getting the a7iii combined with the sigma 24-70 2.8! I love the way you explain things it simply makes me want to finish the video entirely! By any chance do you have any color grading tutorials ?

[RawDeal-mong]

Great video my guy and the Sony A7iii is still doing great work.

[ulyssessait]

I just ordered used A7iii with 4000 SC, for my second body.. the first body is also a used A7iii, now at 30k SC... I love A7iii for event photography

[sushanmool]

Hi, Could you please recommend me the camera between a7iii and a7c? I have the budget of $1500 - $1700 for body, and I am switching from Canon 80D. Thank you.

[mcp]

Itching to upgrade my aging a6000. Would it be wise to stay apsc (a6700) or go with a a7iii?

I only have 1 apsc lens (tamron 17-70) and 1 full frame lens (50mm 1.8)
