Everything came as expected and got here quick. Half of the items are really cheap but I expected that, but the other half are a really good value. It did come with 2 Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards. That alone is worth the extra hundred this kit costs. The camera bag is small but of good quality.

The A7 III manages to pull off a lot of technology and desirability in a body which costs less than £2000 - an excellent price point for dedicated enthusiasts. While when the A7 range came out there wasn’t much in the way of a lens selection to work with, there’s now over 25 available, with yet more from third party manufacturers. Short of super specialist optics, there’s pretty much something to suit everyone. Here we’ve got a fantastic all-rounder which is well-suited to a bunch of different shooting scenarios. It copes well with landscapes, portraits, and even a little bit of sports shooting. The camera design is probably not the prettiest thing we’ve ever seen, but it handles fairly well for the small size, and that little bit of weight reduction may be a welcome relief for many. This could well be the camera to really kill off “enthusiast” level full-frame DSLRs altogether - or at least seriously injure the beast. We’ll be waiting with baited breath over the next few months to see if old hands Nikon and Canon pull their finger out and deliver their long-rumoured full-frame mirrorless models: they’ve certainly got a lot to live up to.

Incredible value; Excellent image quality ; Good for video ; Speedy autofocus and tracking ;

It didn't take long for Sony to reuse the body design it introduced with last year's high-resolution, pro-grade a7R III in an entry-level model. But despite a friendly (for full-frame) price, the a7 III ($1,999.99, body only) is anything but entry-level when it comes to its feature set. Its BSI CMOS sensor excels in all types of light, and offers incredible dynamic range. It can shoot at 10fps, with an autofocus system that covers almost the entirety of the image sensor. And it has serious video chops too, recording smooth, sharp footage at 4K, and slow-motion at 1080p. It run circles around competing models in this price range, and is our Editors' Choice for entry-level full-frame shoppers. Design The a7 III feels a lot like the a7 II and a7R III in the hand. It measures 3.9 by 5.0 by 2.5 inches (HWD) without a lens, and weighs about 1.4 pounds. Its grip and body design are the same as you get with the a7R III. I find it quite comfortable to hold, even with a larger zoom like th...

Announcing the Sony Alpha A7 Mark III - Sony had the clever idea of telling everyone, that this was "the b a s i c model" in the Sony Alpha range, and pretty much everyone published this, because it was quite frankly a little bit ridiculous.

Fast and reliable focus, Impressive noise performance, Excellent image quality, Fast continuous shooting, High-quality 4K video recording, Excellent lenses available

Additional aspect ratios would be nice, Menu system could be neater, Most lenses are quite large

Sony's most affordable full-frame camera is certainly nothing to scorn at.

Class-leading picture quality, enhanced usability, sharp 4K-video, and fast shooting rate and focus response.

Low resolution viewfinder and display, moderate weather proofing, and only one UHS-II slot.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Let us save you a lot of time: If you're in the market for a new camera this year and can afford $2,000 for a body, by all means, buy the new Sony A7 III when it goes on sale this April. It really is one of the best interchangeable lens cameras we've ever handled.
