Sony A7R III Long Term Review | Still good today?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Sony A7R III has been our go-to camera for photography despite being 5 years old. Though it's showing its age for video work, its monster 42.4 megapixel sensor makes it still a relevant camera for those of you who need to shoot high resolution and high quality images in 2022 and beyond. And with it's newer sibling, the AR7 IV pushing prices down, it's also one of the best used bargains for pro photographers right now. Watch our review for the full-break down and why this is a camera you should consider.

What's your go-to camera for photography? Let us know 👇👇
Proud new owner of an m6 Mark 2 :)
iphone or vivo LOL kidding
Still rocking Riii. Still recommend it today. I feel no need to "upgrade".
Upgraded from a6400 to a7R3 yesterday.
@@WeR804 so how u doin ? its good change ?
Another thing to note is the A7RIII has two versions. The newer version has code name ILCE-7RM3A with the "A" at the end where you get an updated higher res LCD screen and updated viewfinder. Just something to keep in mind when getting one second hand as it nearly caught me out!
Where do you find the code name ?
@@kobek5272you should find it at the bottom of the camera or on the camera’s original box
Sony should really make you an ambassador for all the reviews you do of their cameras! Thanks for breaking down the difference in models, I was always confused by that tbh. Great review!
My pleasure!
Sample images with lenses mentioned in the corner would've been really helpful.
Thank you so much Rudy, very helpful and informative review! God bless and good luck!
Thank you so much Rudy for the detailed information! God bless you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent selection of photo samples!
Glad you like them!
I have to admit I didn't know too much about the R series but after seeing your absolutely breathtaking samples images, I am very impressed. The video sample looked great as well. Brilliant review as always!
Thanks for watching :)
Awesome shots and review bro!
Thanks for watching :)
Amazing camera and thank you for this interesting review. Have a great week!
Thanks, you too!
Great review as always Aaron!
Because you're a talented photographer, whatever you shoot always looks good regardless of the camera 😬
Haha the colour science part is so funny!!
Thanks guys :))
Great review. Very nice camera. Greetings my friends and thank you for sharing. Have a happy week. 👍
Thank you! You too!
Great review Aaron!
Thanks! :)
I tried this one before and It gives a very detailed photos 😊
Good time to collect such a bargain camera. Happy to share your review! :)
It really is! Thank you, I appreciate that :D
Your photos are absolutely STUNNING!!!
Thank you so much!!
Good information for helping me with a decision. Now I know I definitely need a "photo" focused camera instead of video because I rarely shoot video!
5:16 Hahaha that color science skit had me in stitches. Literally every camera thread I've ever read sounds like that.
Same
Haha glad you enjoyed it :)
Great review Aaron. Even the used price now is a bit pricey for me but it seems a great option for professionals. Your photo samples are always fantastic!
Thanks for watching! :)
This would be my dream camera for wildlife photography 😁
Great review and beatutiful photos 🥰 Sony's a73 range really is one of the most budget friendly ones considering what they offer
Thank you :)
Great camera indeed, very good review my friend.
Thank you :)
Amazing photo samples but at this point I expect nothing less from you guys 😍
Thank you 🙌
Great review. I've always loved the R series but I am more hybrid myself so an A7IV would make more sense for my next purchase!
Good choice! It's great that we have the ability to really cherry pick our camera choice depending on individual needs!
Hey I have had the camera for 3 years now and I’m noticing auto focusing issues that just started to happen. I’m shooting sports like football basketball and fencing , when the focus zone is on center . Sometimes the view display just gets extremely blurry like the camera is having a hard time locking on to something . Any pointers on fixing this problem? I have missed a lot of shots due to it.
5:28 that reminds me so much of one of my friends lol
fantastic images indeed!
we wish our FUJI X-T20 survived well the time...not so good for our travel videos...:(
Thank you!
Where are you finding these models? Asking for a friend 😄
I've got an EOS R6 Mark ii. And I love it. But I would love double Megapixels for studio crops.
The r6 mii is awesome but yeah honestly being able to crop and not lose too much resolution is a real luxury.
don't forget about the A7C series!!!!!!
Was able to snag one second hand for $700 with a sigma prime lens combo. Although its not the best for video compared to other newer models, the seller who did videography told me that it served him well in the music video industry. I'm excited to use it!
That's a hell of a good deal! Enjoy it!
Man i bought one for 1300 700 dollars is a fucking snag
So right now you have a a7iii, siii and riii? And do you use all of them??
Yep, we mostly use the siii for video and riii for stills with the a7iii being our backup/2nd hybrid camera.
It's a great camera for sure but it takes an even greater photographer to get shots like that!! 😍😍
Thank you :))
Brother amazing sharpnes best dyminc range. Exclient lowlight image quality..daylight crisp photos..my budght 1600 usa dollor.. i want used camera body for my faimly photography.... which camra body sugest me...best detaling picture.. in 2023. Long last 6.7 year

Sony a7c
Can you tell something from your side too?
Been shooting with my a7rIII for the last 4 years for photography. I'm not much of a video shooter. This camera is Still a BEAST of the trade and I still use it as my primary go to camera.
That's awesome to hear. It's still our go to stills camera and see no need to upgrade it anytime soon.
@@RudyVisuals For a casual like me who intend to use this for mostly family photos, would you say it's worth it for the A7R III or just go balls out and get an A7R V? I intend to keep this camera for as long as possible. Thanks
Nice video! Should mention that the larger megapixel count do result in more noise and slightly worse low light performance compared to the A7iii
Wrong. Noise is related to the size of the sensor not the pixel count.
Did you observed this actually a7r iii have back focus issue if background light is more than subject light it automatically focusing background for group photos
Can't say we have ever had that problem. We usually touch to focus in those kinds of situations.
Keren🤙
Is there a big difference between a7r3 and 4?
It's much newer, so it has a better LCD, viewfinder, improved AF and has 61 mp instead of 42.4. So it is a better camera for sure but at almost double the price.
The RIII is still such a solid camera. To be honest I see no reason to upgrade from my EOS R, it's still good enough for me, I can't keep up with all the new camera releases. Just seems like a cash grab imo.
I sort of agree in the sense that cameras from 5-6 years ago are still awesome and probably more than enough in terms of specs for a lot of people.
Out of curiosity how big is a single raw photo file?
About 50mb for a compressed RAW file, even more for uncompressed!
80ish mb for uncompressed
I have been using a7R III for almost 3 years now and I am very happy with the photos coming out. Recently, I got a7 IV and the autofocus is even stellar. And FASTER. I notice that when using a7R III in low light conditions, at ISO 2000, it is somewhat inferior to a7 IV.
Great to hear! The a7iv is definitely the better overall camera IMO and great for video too!
I've always been a canon color scienece fan mysefl
Personally think Canon looks great SOOC as well.
Is this still good in 2024, or do you have an other sugestion??
Still using ours for stills. If you're focused only on photography, it's still awesome and you can find it for really cheap used.
2:06 those horse photos are simply gorgeous!
Thank you :)
Of course its still a great camera .
Sony made great cameras... And they keep holding the high price... Unfortunately they do not release enough firmware updates for the a7R III regarding how much it costs compared to the competition.
I'd like to have color science improved on it and the new menu system. Just that
Great to hear your thoughts. Definitely agree about the lack of firmware updates. Unfortunately with the a7rIV and V I don't think older cameras will get future firmware updates anymore :(
Someone is selling one for $990, you think this is a steal? It has only 5200 shots. 👀
If the shot count is legit, 100% that's a great deal!
Honestly had no idea this camera was this cheap. Is the r ii much of a downgrade because that price point is damn affordable!
There are some good comparison videos, honestly the r3 isn't a HUGE upgrade over the r2 so it's worth looking into if you want to upgrade.
@@RudyVisuals Since I don't really care about video I am really considering a camera like this so if i can save up for an riii i will go with that over the rii :D
The Rii and Riii have the same sensor. The Rii is a fantastic camera and I honestly regret selling it. I still use the Riii today and love it. The only improvements is better AF but it's not a huge step up and battery life. Rii batteries are cheap though if you don't mind changing batteries more often. It just comes down to what you shoot. If you shoot sports, kids, fast moving subjects the Riii is a justified upgrade
