Sony A7r III Mirrorless Camera, Body

Had this camera for nearly a month, really pleased. Having a A7C also makes operating the new one much easier, setting up and using them are very similar. Plus I also have a number of FE lens which I can use with both.

Upgraded from Sony A7M3 for bird photography. Coupled with the Sony 200-600mm lens it is superb, with great reach for distant subjects.

I love the speed of the auto focus on this camera and the eye recognition. I had the a7rii before and this is a worthwhile step up for me.

I bought this camera about six months ago to try and improve my astrophotography. This is my first mirrorless full-frame camera and I was dubious about changing from my previous APS-C Pentax K30 DSLR because it entailed also buying new lenses. I'm not sure if my astrophotography has improved significantly (much depends on technique), but particularly for landscapes and wildlife photography, the resolution allows me to zoom in (crop) the image seemingly infinitely! Because of this I have been able to make do with only two lenses so far: Sony 20mm f1.8G and Sony 85mm f1.8. These are both top-notch lenses. I wouldn't recommend buyiing cheaper lenses because it negates the reason for having such a high resolution camera sensor. I managed to scratch my previous DSLR screens so I purchased a set of protectors for it, and also fitted a rubberised cover for it. This hopefully will give additional protection against condensation during cold night imaging sessions. The cover does, however, affect the handling (fiddly to switch on and off).

Negatives: the Sony instruction manual is basic and the Sony support could be better - for instance, trying to find out which is the latest firmware for the 7RM3a, as opposed to the original 7RM3. I haven't investigated the video capabilities yet, which is why I haven't graded the sound quality!

I'm glad I bought it.

Had it 10 days and I love it, high quality pics and still getting used to it :)

I purchased this camera a month ago to replace my trusty Pentax K-1 MK2, and I must say it is a powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-use piece of engineering.

I bought it a 2 weeks age so I'm still learning all the tricks

Bought a used 7R 111A to replace my much loved 7R 111. It seemed a better bet going for the 111A because it came out in 2021 and the likelihood of a less used camera was stronger (+ less actuations). There seems to be some internal changes to the software but nothing that stands out. The improved rear screen is perhaps a bit clearer but not really a game changer. However, all in all, the 7R 111A is a great camera and I find the 42mp resolution, with good lenses, is all I need.

I bought this camera a month ago and I need a few days to learn to set up it is amazing camera, excellent images a lot of possibilities. I am extremely impressed, happy, and I recommend it.

Purchased Alpha A73 as a replacement for my Alpha A7 (10) years old, fabulous little work horse.
