Is The Sony A7III Still Relevant In 2024? 

I really don't care if my A7iii is still relevant! It's all about the creativity of the photographer!

I currently have the A1, A7SIII and A7IV and even the A9. The A7III was my first introduction into the Sony full frame line of cameras and is what made me switch (even though I still have other systems). I have since sold the A7III, but looking back on weddings that I shot with that camera, there is really no difference in the quality of the photos compared to my 'newer' gear. In fact, if I didn't focus on video (hybrid) shooting as much as I do now, there is no reason why the A7III wouldn't be able to be my workhorse camera for the unforeseeable future.

I liked the video and your natural style of presentation, feels like an actual review not just enumerating the specs, well done. Subscribed.

Been debating on getting a used A7III at a good price and your video was very helpful! Excellent advice and quality, you deserve much more views!

Very Insightful Video! You deserve more subs! Good Job Austin

I have a7iii and a7iv but I still keep using the a7iii. My favourite as always.

Great video sir planning to buy sony camera soon Greetings from Philippines 🙇

I am glad that i chose for my first proper camera with ability to change lenses A7R IIIA and i hope it will help me to improve. Bought used one with 5 200 shutter actuation. Also thank you for this video.

Yes it’s still relevant tons of us still use it and the quality is 🔥

Thank you for this video ^^

I started with the A7s in '14 and started doing Astro Milky Ways because of the hype but got it basically for the 5@ +/- 3EV bracketing , It was the era of HDR due to DSLR's low dynamic range and 5 @ +/- 2EV is great for Blue Hour to get the darkside of say driftwood bright and colorful as well sunrise/set with sun above horizon for a small sun. I got the A7iii because Milky Way photographers recemented and the main reason that no one ever talks about is the 1. dual ISO's getting less noise after 12800 and up 2. ISO Invariance,it allows for a dark image to get normalized by just increasing exposure in post, say you are using Zebras to get Whites without being blown out while adjusting the EV dial in the neg yes a dark image BUT a little exposure increase and shadow increase you get a normal image. And if you do Astro Milky Way and select Day WB you will see what others get rid of not knowing what it is, the colors of high up atmosphere gases of green or magenta and others, most think it is color noise but not. This camera was a turning point for night captures of colorful cities. and proof that it is not the pixel count that matters it is the camera sensor processor as can be also proved with any A7R model. Sharpness/clarity is a lens thing along with software. Even though profiles are not visible in RAW you can select in post programs like Lr and are easier to interep that the A7SM3 or A7RM5, Ilike portrait for night beach shots - bright and colors are great before sliders adjusted. Last but not least it is still being made and sells on the norm for the same price it started with $1999 yes a used one maybe less but new and unused a blessing. The only missing from it is the A7/r/s M2's is the on camera apps a reason to keep those forever too! Menus are what you use no matter you know where everything is and complainers are just that spoiled and no one gets the way they want it any way. I keep one in my everyday carry bag with a 16-35mm and the 24-240mm in another pocket and some supplies, on my shoulder or in car for instant capture. I can do birds/astro/micro at moments notice like using a cellphone camera.

I bought my first photo camera 1 month ago, Sony A7 mii with kit lens for 800 euro and I am extremely happy. For beginners any camera to start with is good enough, most important is to answer the question, what is my budget and what I like to do with my camera. I think lens are more important than camera itself. Now I am searching for something better than my kit 35-70mm f3.5-5.6 lens. I might get next tamron 28-200, and after tamron 17-28.

Thanks for the review, I’ve been trying to figure what version of the a7 I wanted and I think the a7III might be the one. I too am coming for a t6i as my first camera and I’ve been wanting to switch to a nicer mirrorless camera that’s full frame

Darn right it is. Hell most people don’t max out the potential of the cameras.

Great video 🔥

I am considering getting one for Video and retiring my A7iv to photography

Just been reading a article about how camera haven't really progressed since 2017 in image quality only improvement have been feature specs and iso quality so its what ever you can afford don't let marketing make you think you need the latest greatest a cheaper camera with a nice lens will out do any latest expensive body on a cheap lens

Idk but it’s the best camera I’ve owned lol

I have been debating on which camera to buy, my main contenders are the Sony A6600 and the A7iii, I like both camera but should I spend more the get the full frame look?Is it worth it or should I just go with an APSC sensor?

Why would it not be. Nothing wrong with the camera. Some still shoot with 1950’s Rangefinders

For photo? Totally. For video? Not so much.

FULLY ARTICULATING SCREEN IS NOT NEED AT ALL. I always shoot using viewfinder, never ever needed a screen. pople who complain about screen is usually noobs who still uses screen and can move their body to a position that is not requiring any articulation of screen.

Canon R8 left the chat (price + specs)

i got a new lens instead of a new body

Not In my opinion. It’s outdated. It’s only plus is 4K 120. It’s also too noisy where ISO counts most in 6400 or less. I have no idea why they chose 12800 for their second native ISO. I guess just to say we have a cleaner image at absurd ISOs; although even at 12800 and up, the image is not great and take on a plastic smear to the look.

Neither sony a7iii nor IV is video cameras.

The two video edits where almost useless for comparing the two cameras because they were completely different videos with different lighting, subjects, and movement. There was no way to accurately compare the proformance of the stabilization, autofocus, or other physical differences between the cameras using those wildly different edits. Not only that, but he judged the performance of the cameras based on the artistic shots he got, not on the cameras themselves! A professional with an iphone could make a better video than a 14 year old with an 8k cinema camera but that does not mean the iphone is better. Unfortunately, I won't watch another video from this RU-vid channel again unless changes are made, because clearly the quality and accuracy of information is not a priority.
