Upon using the camera I noticed an issue, with autofocus mode on, sometimes when I tried shooting with lens at 70 mm at subjects at bout 9 - 10 feet away indoors, or even stars at night outdoors with crop mode, autofocus would get me out of crop mode, if I activated crop mode again, autofocus would stop working altogether and then the function would no longer "exist", if I pressed the shutter release button halfway (all of these with camera place on auto mode), to try and get the autofocus to do its job, nothing would happen, then on the screen I would see the ISO at 12800, if i released the shutter release button the iso number disappears, if i press the release shutter half way again, the iso number 12800 appears again and it stays there until i release the shutter button, if i take a picture it is all blurry. I then tried to use the manual focus but nothing happens, I remembered I had to turn the manual focus option on, so I get into the menu and the focus mode option is greyed out, if I try get into the option an error message "your lens is not supported or its installed incorrectly" shows up, only way to go is to shut camera off and turned it on again, which will return autofocus to work, but if i repeat the exercise it just stops working all over again, sometimes even without crop mode/zoom mode on, just by going from 28 to 70 mm on the lens, or even mid way, maybe 40 mm or 50 mm. Sometimes even the camera would pull me out of menu screen, I would click menu button, I am trying to navigate menu, then you can hear the focus mechanism moving and camera pulls me out of menu screen o regular screen, I have to press menu again, sometimes to be pulled out of the menu repeated times

I called Amazon service, friendly person who quickly contacted me to Sony, and this is the part I did not like. We went through basic things to try and fix the issue, including resetting the camera, after which the issue presented itself quite quickly, so the person at Sony (again, a very friendly and helpful person) told me I needed to send the camera back to Sony for service. I asked him if that given this was a brand new camera (I received this this past Tuesday Feb 9th 2021, today is Sat 13th Feb 2021) I would get a new camera (replaced) he actually told me that at Sony they only offer repairs, and if the cost is out of the warranty I would be charged for the replacement?!

I am not entirely sure if this is true or not, but if it is, this very bad business practice to say the least, so I pay for a brand new camera, which comes defective, so I am not getting what I payed for in the first place, and they then tell me that there is the possibility that I would have to pay EVEN MORE to actually get less (it would not be a new camera now right? it would be basically a refurbished one with all the risks that implies) than what I ALREADY payed for in the first place! I payed for a new camera that is supposed to have all the features and functionality advertised by sony/amazon on their webpage, and I did not got that, and again, I might be forced (because if I do not pay I would not get a working device.....so basically I would be forced to pay if I want anything ressembling a working camera) to pay more (you pay for a new working product, you dont get one, and then to get a working "not new anymore" product you sometimes have to pay more than what you already payed in the first place) . I would strongly recommend to stay away from this brand, who knows, in the future I decide to buy an expensive lens from them, and then if something is wrong, they only "repair" a lens, maybe even after asking for more money from me. No Sony/amazon, shame on you, bad business practice.

Again, I want things to be clear : they HAVE NOT asked me to pay anything YET, as I just send the camera back to Sony, but the Sony person I spoke to made it very clear that they do not replace cameras with new ones if you receive a faulty one, they only "repair them" and that I MIGHT even be charged in some cases.

1. I spoke with the same Amazon representative who was present the day I spoke with Sony, and he assured me that I CAN return this product to amazon if not satisfied (which I most likely will immediately do after receiving it back from tech service).

2. The camera did not went to Sony directly, it went to a tech service that from what I understand, is the one Sony works with to repair/service their cameras.

I ordered one from willougby"s the the other day. I heard that they are going to bait and switch me with the international vs us version. IDK, I don"t pick up calls from NJ. So I went to look for the cost of the a7iii and it went up $300! Did rebates go away?

Yes they did. Not just the a7iii. All of their full frame mirrorless I believe. I’ve been trying to decide between the a7riv and the original a9. The a9 has been $2999 ever since I began looking into it. I get online today it’s $3999. The a7riv went up by about $500 as well. Ridiculous. I’m replacing my a7riii that has a malfunctioning shutter (for the second time). I’m about ready to jump ship to canon.

I shoot nikon as my bread and butter, but since concerts aren"t happening, I"ve just been shooting film with my Contax 645, but I want to have a digital camera too which means too much weight with different lenses. I bought adapters to go contax 645 -> contax-n->sony-e->nikon z, but it doesn"t work together. I was going to get a digital back for the contax, but that will just put more wear and tear on my contax. I decided to look for a a7iii. I can use it with the contax 645 lenses and then when concerts start up again, use it along side my nikons. Now, I"m conflicted. Hope the price goes back down.

What"s crazier to me about the A7III is the resale. They are bascially selling for the $1800 Sony was charging for new ones not long ago. Real grand slam for Sony considering how their bodies usually depreciate.

Rs depreciate like milk because Sony always has a new one around the corner. I would not be surprised if we see an A7R6 before the A7M4. I would ditch your R2 ASAP

Just tried to order an A7iii and wasn"t aware of the increase. Camera store of my choice told me to wait until April 26th and the price would go back down $300.

I"m starting to think what we knew as Black Friday may be more like "we have limited stock of a these Sony a7 models ... first come first serve" ... at full price (or more) ... and they will sell out in minutes.

For the first time since the launch of the original A7, Sony has introduced a fifth model name and this time, it’s not about what is inside, but the how it looks on the outside. I wish I could tell you that the A7C has a completely new look, but instead Sony has taken the design of its APS-C cameras and fit a full frame sensor inside.

The A7C takes its design from Sony’s APS-C series. The body is shorter because the viewfinder is positioned on the left side and doesn’t stick out from the main frame, whereas the A7 III has a traditional SLR-esque design with the EVF at the centre.

By having the EVF on the left and incorporating it into the main body frame, Sony had to use the smaller panel found on its APS-C series. It is a 0.39-in OLED with a magnification of 0.59x and a resolution of 2.36M dots.

Sony has been slow to incorporate multi-angle screens on the A7 series (and A6XXX series too), despite video having always played a central role. After the A7S III, it is now the A7C’s turn to feature the same rear panel. It can be opened to the side and rotated 180º to make the camera more vlogger friendly.

Another interesting thing, discovered by YouTuber Sydney Diogzon, is that the A7C can save gyro sensor data in the video files. This means that the video file contains all the information concerning the camera movements while the shot was being recording. With the Sony Catalyst software, you can stabilise the footage using this gyro data and obtain better results than in-body image stabilisation. Filmmaker Brandon Li made a video showing how this technology works on the A7S III.

For audio, the A7C also supports digital audio recording via the Multi-Interface shoe and select Sony microphones such as the ECM-B1M Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor.

My first impressions, just by looking at it, reading information and checking out other reviews, is that Sony has made the least effort possible. Rather than imagining a new design and adding new features, it has taken what it already had elsewhere and re-mixed it to create a new full frame segment where C for Compact is the main selling point. (Sony has also released a new pancake kit zoom, the 28-60mm f4-5.6).

So really, choosing between the A7C and the A7 III is a question of design, namely the button layout, LCD monitor and viewfinder. I wish Sony had made a small effort to differentiate the cameras more, at least by implementing a few things we saw on recent models, like the new menu system that can be navigated with the touch screen, or the new Creative Looks profiles that would have suited a camera like the A7C perfectly.

Lastly there is the price. I was expecting a bold move from Sony to challenge the likes of the Canon EOS RP or Nikon Z5. Instead, the A7C price is not so different from the A7 III despite using the same two year old technology. I guess they are confident it will sell, and who knows, they might be right.

Though the EOS R and a7iii are not the latest touchscreen mirrorless cameras released – they are plenty powerful and closely matched on most technical features.

Raising the Sony a7 iii to your eye and taking in the scene in front of you is probably not going to fill you with awe, to be honest – the electronic facsimile of the view is disappointing as almost all mirrorless cameras are. If the Sony was all you had to look at, you’d eventually agree that the viewfinder was functional and satisfactory.

The Sony camera obviously doesn’t have the wow-factor and the quality of the viewfinder isn’t good enough to make you reach into your pocket to grab two thousand dollars cash to pay for it until you really evaluate whether it is the best camera for your money.

On the other hand, looking through the dreamlike viewfinder on the Canon EOS R will tickle your brain a bit and have you giggling inside, especially if you are looking at it after you’ve already seen what Sony has to offer.

If you’ve had a Sony mirrorless before, you’ll probably find the a7 iii’s 3″ touch screen with 921,600 DPI to be satisfactory, and you may even think it’s fantastic – that is until you see Canon’s rear LCD!

The Canon has a fully-articulating screen giving you hundreds of angles to compose your shots from, and even offering a full 180° forward-facing option ideal for selfie photography and vlogging – while Sony’s a7 iii offers only the tilting screen option popular on so many digital cameras these days.

Having used fully-articulating LCD touch screens over the past six years, we’ve grown fond of them! Any camera without one necessitates the purchase of a third-party screen or another cumbersome camera accessory which adds to your shopping list.

In today’s world, even professional photographers shoot some video to go along with their photos. Both the Sony and Canon offer good 4K video for the web but with some marked differences.

In contrast, Sony oversamples 6K capture and downsamples to get 4K video at 24p and from 5K resolution with a 1.2x crop to give you 4K video at 30p. Sony’s video resolution is professional-grade and levels above Canon’s video results.

The Canon EOS R has a higher resolution 30.3mp full frame CMOS sensor (36x24mm) with DIGIC 8 processor which is the same size as Sony’s a7 iii 24.2mp full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor (35.6×23.8mm) with BIONZ X processor. Both sensors include a low pass filter.

A quick check online found that Dxomark rated the Sony a7 iii better than the Canon EOS R in dynamic range, tonal range, color sensitivity, color depth, and low-light ISO.

All lenses attached to the a7 iii will produce stabilized images with up to 5-stops of stabilization – this is a great feature for a full frame camera to have – check out our Sony a7III lens reviews for more info.

If you’re shooting for three hours each day over a weekend, you might spray and pray 80 times for 3-seconds at a time. Doing this with the Canon EOS R you’ll get 1,920 images and with the Sony, you’ll get 2,400 – that’s 480 more images!

The Sony a7 iii body is smaller and lighter than the Canon EOS R, which will please those who prefer a more compact system for daily use or travel, that still offers the power and flexibility of a full frame sensor.

However, on the flip side, the Canon EOS R is a lot more comfortable to hold, especially for long periods when the Sony’s body starts to feel a little awkward and cramped.

The Sony a7 iii on the other hand is another story entirely. Sony has long been the leader in the autofocus stakes, and with the a7 iii’s incredibly Eye-af and real time tracking, the cross hair in your viewfinder is pretty much glued to your subject’s eye in a millisecond… and doesn’t let go until you take the shot.

Thanks to firmware updates, Sony brings even more to the table with features such as eye-tracking for animals (!), all free to download straight to the a7 iii. Canon is doing something similar with its own set of firmware updates, but we can’t help feeling that they have a lot of catching up to do.

With Canon and Sony, there’s not a whole lot of difference in the price of lenses across the board, but one big thing in Canon’s favour is the wide range of lenses available – Canon offers several ‘budget’ lenses, (including a nifty-fifty for under $100), but Sony’s most affordable full frame lens costs twice this.

However, as you’ll have seen in this Canon EOS R vs Sony a7iii comparison, the Sony does offer more for the money, so it’d be unfair to simply say that as the Canon is simply cheaper, it’s a better choice. We’re going to call this one a tie!

Both Canon and Sony are fierce competitors. Most people consider Sony the mirrorless full-frame company to beat, but Canon offer a wider selection of lenses.

Yes, you can use Canon lenses on the Sony a7 series mirrorless with an adapter. Results show autofocus accuracy typically suffers using these adapters and lenses and shows manual focusing works much better than using autofocus.

The Sony is a well-made camera which has persuaded many photographers to drop their DSLR systems for the smaller mirrorless full-frame format. Every year the differences between the two systems are harder to see!

Highlights of the Sony a7 III include the in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilization and 693 autofocus points covering 93% of the frame. Sony has improved its autofocus speed as well and claims a nearly 2x speed increase over the previous a7 ii model.

The Canon EOS R isn’t a bad full-frame mirrorless camera, it’s just unfortunate that it is going up against a great camera, the Sony a7 iii in this review!

Though the Canon EOS R didn’t fare too well in this Sony vs Canon comparison, the EOS R is quite adequate for most people’s needs. If you’re a professional, you’ll opt for the Sony, if not, you might be swayed by Canon’s attention to detail in the LCD screen and viewfinder – both of which are better than Sony’s a7 iii.

Another factor to keep in mind is that when travelling internationally it may be easier to find a service shop for your Canon system than for your Sony gear.

Whichever you choose, keep in mind that Sony has been focused on these smaller systems for longer than Canon and they have optimized their camera bodies, buttons, menus, and focused on a feature-set that appeals to pros and other consumers alike.

Sony is on top of the mirrorless world at the moment and it doesn’t look like there will be anyone to contend with them seriously for the next couple of years.

Sony"s A7 range has long been their most popular camera series, hitting the sweet-spot between specs and price, and on October 21st at 3pm GMT / 10am EDT the brand new Sony Alpha A7 IV was unveiled.

Thanks to Sony themselves, all of the key specs for the new A7IV version have already been revealed, so we can now compare the two models to show you what"s changed.

With the street price of the 4-year old A7 III being significantly lower than the A7 IV at launch, why would you choose to buy the new kid on the block? We"re bringing you this in-depth Sony A7 IV vs A7 III comparison to help you choose between the two.

The A7IV is upping the ante by using a newly developed 33 megapixel Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor, which will presumably become the sensor of choice for all of Sony"s entry-level and mid-range full-frame cameras going forwards.

This new sensor gives it the edge in resolution over both the previous A7III (by 27%) and rivals like the Canon R6, Nikon Z6 II and the Panasonic S1, whilst not treading on the toes of the 42 megapixel A7R III or the 61 megapixel A7R IV.

The new A7IV also has a range of new video settings that you won"t find on the A7III, including Breathing Compensation to help reduce focus breathing with certain Sony lenses, Shockless White Balance to make manual changes in white balance more smooth, Flexible Exposure Mode to switch between auto and manual exposure settings separately for the aperture and shutter speed, and two types of Shot Marks to mark favourite takes or scenes,.

The A7 IV"s auto-focus system supports Real-time Tracking AF and also Human, Animal and Bird Eye AF, all for both stills and movies, making it the first Sony camera to offer such comprehensive AF support for both shooting modes.

The A7 III didn"t have these features when it was originally launched, but Sony did add real-time Eye AF for animals (but not birds) via the Version 3.0 firmware update at the end of 2020.

The A7 IV does at least have a much larger buffer than the A7 III, though, especially when shooting Raw files, being able to shoot at 10fps for up to 830 JPG+RAW (uncompressed) or 1,000 JPGs, lossless compressed or compressed RAW in one high-speed burst, whereas the A7III could only manage a still very respectable 79 JPG+RAW images or 82 JPGs, 89 compressed RAW or 40 uncompressed RAW images.

For such a feature-rich camera, the Sony A7IV remains impressively compact. It has a magnesium alloy body that only weighs around 658g with battery and memory card installed, just 8g more than the A7 III, and despite being slightly larger and thicker than its predecessor.

On the top there"s a shooting mode dial with a new separate Photo / Video / S&Q switch underneath, with the camera remembering basic exposure settings in each mode, a never-seen-before feature on a Sony Alpha camera.

There"s also a one-touch movie record button, twin exposure dials plus a brand new unmarked, lockable dial which can be customized to set either the shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, drive mode, focus mode or, as traditionally, exposure compensation, although there is no top LCD panel.

Just like the A7S III, you can also stabilise the A7IV"s footage in post-production using data from the camera"s gyro sensor and the Sony Catalyst software.

The A7 IV has a fully articulating 3-inch, 1.03-million-dot LCD screen with improved touchscreen functionality, including focusing and navigating the much improved user interface and main menu system.

The A7 IV"s screen has a vari-angle design that"s been inherited directly from the A7S III, which for some users will represent a big improvement on the A7 III"s more limited 180-degree flip-up design.

You can flip out the screen to the side, rotate it forwards for easier operation when pointing the camera at yourself, and fold it flat against the back of the camera to stop it from getting scratched.

The Sony A7 III was clearly ahead of its time by being one of the first mirrorless cameras to have two SD card slots, although only one of them takes advantage of the faster UHS-II standard.

It offers a CIPA-rated battery life of 610 shots when using the LCD screen, which is actually shorter than the A7 III"s 710 shot life (for the LCD screen), maybe a consequence of using the faster BIONZ XR processor.

The Sony A7 IV becomes the latest camera launched in 2021 to offer in-camera USB streaming - 10Gbps live streaming via its USB-C port to be exact - allowing you to use the camera as a webcam. It supports up to 4K/15p or more usefully 1080/60p.

Whilst the A7 III has been on the market for a few years now and has naturally declined in price, we still think that Sony is being somewhat over-ambitious with the A7 IV.

It"s no longer the "entry-level" model that it"s predecessor clearly was - instead the A7 III will continue in that role (Sony always carry on selling previous models), along with the more compact Alpha A7C.
