ILCE7M3B.CEC1_CAMERA

I hadn't wanted to write a review of the camera until I'd used it for a few months. I'm a photojournalist and have been working with Sony equipment for over 10 years. I've owned two A7II and now I'm using this version... I'm not so much interested in video, but rather still photography... and I must say it hasn't disappointed me. The camera is fast, the sensor quality is excellent (I'm sure the newer versions are even better). But I'm happy with this camera. Even though I don't shoot video, I have to say the image quality and stabilization are very good. So far, my camera has performed very well.

Verry good item

A Amazon atrasou muito a entrega, mas não foi culpa da loja! Eles enviaram rapidamente, chegou tudo certinho, fiquei com receio quando vi que a caixa não estava lacrada, mas a loja me atendeu rápido e me explicaram tudo. Não tem nenhum sinal de uso, a camera realmente é nova, impecável. Não vem o carregador da bateria, mas vi no manual que se carrega direto pela câmera com o cabo que vem na caixa. Já estou usando a câmera há alguns dias e ela é incrível, realmente tem uma qualidade excelente!

Okay, so it is hard for me to come to grips with this, but I don't think I am going to be returning to Canon or Nikon. The big, and basically only, CON: AUTO FOCUS - Okay, I'm really really on the fence about this, but I THINK I like the AF on this camera, mostly. To give you some perspective, I was mainly using two 5D Mark III cameras for my portrait work, as well as trying out a couple of Nikon D750s and the AF on all of those those was all I've ever wanted. With those cameras, I've never had any issues whatsoever with autofocus. It always worked, even in low light, whenever I wanted it. Now comparing the Sony A7III to those, using the Sigma adapter and Sigma and Canon glass, I've had MOSTLY great success. The EYE-AF is AMAZING for anytime that portrait sessions are going slowly/ people are not moving around too much. I get A LOT more keepers when that is the case. In my work, however, I really like to have movement. I find that I get more natural body poses when movement is going on, and both the regular AF and the EYE-AF don't work great when I'm snapping photos under those conditions. The camera can KIND OF focus when it is rapidly shooting, but it really seems to be a trade off - you either can focus, or you can shoot.... but not both at the same time like the Canon and Nikon excel at. I am VERY disappointed about that - that is the one thing that is keeping me on the fence. PRO's: EVERYTHING else on this camera is AMAZING. Here are some highlights that particularly excite me: 1) The customizability of the buttons - so much better than both Canon and Nikon. And it has even improved over the A7RII !!! :) 2) The dynamic range and how far you can pull the files is amazing. I attached a photo out of an airplane window that I accidentally took at 4 stops (!!!) below what you see. It was basically pitch black and my eyes could barely make out the ice below, but Sony, you're amazing, and this file came out great. 3) The Image Stabilization is legitimately amazing. I can do handheld shots with my 270mm (135 + 2x extender) handheld at about 1/50th of a second and get sharp results 90% of the time. 4) 10FPS is way more than I ever need as a portrait photographer.... but I kind of like it sometimes. :) Conclusion... So because the AF is not quiiite at the point where it is flawless in high frame rate shooting, I am still interested and willing to see what Canon and Nikon come out with. This camera is 90% of the perfect camera for me, and I could easily shoot it for the rest of my life... but it would be 100% perfect if the AF always worked in those fast movement/high frame rate kind of situations.
