SONY ALPHA A7 III Information
Sony released expensive cameras like the A9 in 2017, but today Sony introduced a product that seems to be good for half the price. The new Sony Alpha A7 III brings together the features of its two predecessors, the A7R III and A7S II, in a compact and durable package. It boasts shutter speed and everything else you could ask for, all for just $ 1,999 (Body only), maybe a little cheaper in Vietnam
The Sony A7 III is being shaped by Sony as the "basic full-frame model" of the mirrorless camera line. However, the ability to shoot continuously is emphasized like its predecessor Sony A9. The centerpiece of the A7 III is a 24.2 Megapixel back-illuminated sensor with 5-axis image stabilization (a premium upgrade that the A7 II does not have).
New Sensor and Advanced Buffer
Deep inside the body is the new Bionz X Image Sensor, which works hard to capture the most comprehensive data on the Sensor. The A7 III shoots stills at up to 10fps in RAW or JPEG, with a buffer of 177 frames for JPEG, 89 frames in compressed RAW, and 40 frames in uncompressed RAW. It captures images with a dynamic range of 15 seconds and outputs 14-bit RAW files.
The camera is capable of capturing images with a dynamic range of 15 stops and outputting 14-bit RAW files. It supports 4K HDR video, as well as 120fps high-speed shooting at 1080p, and the ability to shoot with S-Log 2 and 3 color profiles for movies. It can capture up to 710 shots on a single battery charge.
High ISO with 693-point AF system
The A7 III also has 693 focus points, covering 93% of the frame, working together to provide autofocus capabilities that Sony says are double that of the A7 II. The new AF system is said to be able to focus in low light situations, with a maximum ISO of 204,800.
Some standout features
Other notable features include a 2.3 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, which is smaller than its predecessors the A9 and A7R III. The A7 III also has a USB Type-C port, and the joystick is similar to the A7R III. One detail is that the weather sealing on the A7 III is better (but not 100% complete). The function keys are similar to the other lines, and it has the customizable "My Menu" feature that Sony introduced on the A9, allowing users to cut the main menu system into their own menu for easy operation.
For a “basic” camera, the specs are certainly incredible in a body that’s reasonably priced. Some of the little things that Sony hasn’t included, like weather sealing on the A9 and a touchscreen on the A7R III, are missing something, but on a body that’s close to $2,000, it would be great.
