Is the Sony A7 III still good in 2023 | Shutter Failure 

Thank you🔥

Glad to hear it Jennifer 😬🙌

Thank you for the kind comment🙏

So I think the only issue with shooting in the silent mode or ES mode is that you can get some pretty bad banding on your images in certain lighting conditions, so just be aware of that. I’m still waiting on my quote but best thing would be to insure your camera against this kind of thing… I will be happy to mention when I get my A7III back and the process in an upcoming video if that would help ☺️ Hopefully it doesn’t hold you back though, remember there are still so many that never experience this issue 🙏

Anything that’s come out recently is more than enough for most people I think, unless you’re looking for the best and need the best. Shutter replacement went well, it was in the range of 500$ when I convert it. Came with a 6 month warranty too. Camera works just great again 🙏

Yup, still a great camera. The main reason I would say you would have to upgrade would be for video features. In terms of photography it deff still hold up 🙌

Still a great camera, enjoy it 🙌

It can be hard to know the diff between when you want something and need something, easy to convince ourselves we need something lol especially with camera gear 😂 I have the Tamron 17-28 Tamron 28-75 and the sigma 35mm 1.4. Would love somthing in the longer ranges but again, I don’t really neeed it 😅

It really is an amazing little all rounder 😬

Firstly the Tamron 28-75 is a great choice, I have it and it’s great for photo and video! If the flipy screen doesn’t mean anything to you and you like the beefier A7III body, I would go with that. The rangefinder style takes some getting used to. The A7c has slightly updated auto focus but nothing you would really notice tbh. Plus if price is a factor you can pick up an A7III for a great price, probably I little cheaper than the A7c and maybe save towards another lens. Maybe the 17-28 f2.8 to cover most of your focal lengths 😬 Which ever way you decide to go I don’t think you will be disappointed. They are both still great cameras 🙌

​@@simplynickza3583 I was also thinking of getting the A7 III, but due to my budget, I have to get it used. I'm scared that a shutter failure might happen, like what happened to your camera. Should I be concerned and get the A7C instead? Also, how much does a shutter replacement cost?

@@alifru so a few things here, don’t let the shutter problem hold you back. When I took mine in the guy mentioned it wasn’t actually very common at all. Always insure your gear against issues like that for peace of mind. Then the A7c is basically the A7III in a more compact body, so if you don’t mind the range finder style view and a smaller body then great! Plus you get the full flippy screen. Also the A7c II is said to be coming soon so maybe worth waiting for that and then picking up the A7c for a nice discount 🙌 In the end Ali these are all great cameras and you can great so much with them. I hope something here helps you in your choice and good luck 😊📸

@@alifru I think I will just sit and chat about the A7III Vs the A7c and also just mention the A7cII and some thoughts in an upcoming video. Obviously depending on your needs and what would be the best buy for you ☺️👌
