The
Sony A7III
is the third entry into Sonyâs popular A7 line of mirrorless generalist cameras. The A7 line launched in 2013, with the A7III coming out in 2018. The line was heralded as a camera that was going to show that mirrorless cameras could really replace DSLRs.
Iâve been using the A7III since it launched, and with the release of the Sony
A7IV
hobbyists around the world are starting to wonder if the A7III is still a good camera or if itâs a model that should be left in the past. Considering how long Iâve been using it, I have some opinions. Should you really buy the Sony A7III in 2024?
Unique Features of the Sony A7III
Perhaps the most important unique feature of the A7III is that it has downright incredible focus and autofocus coverage. In technical terms it has over 4 times the âfocus pointsâ of the comparable Nikon D850. In practical terms it means that itâs hard to miss a shot with the A7III, because as long as the subject is somewhat in frame, the camera will find and focus on it.
The second unique feature of the
Sony A7III
is that it has powerful 5-point image stabilization built into the camera. This means that no matter what lens you toss onto the A7III itâs going to have access to that image stabilization, unlike many cameras that need to rely on the lens having it.
Both of these features really shine during âimperfectâ photography. If youâre out on the street and snapping pictures, image stabilization and powerful focus are critical to bringing home useable photos, but the features donât really affect studio shooting.
Sony A7III Video
The
Sony A7III
has some impressive stats when it comes to shooting video. It shoots in 4K full frame video
*
, which is truly impressive. The image stabilization really shines during video shooting as well, and does a good
(but not quite perfect)
job of absorbing footsteps and general human shakiness. Video that you take with the A7III is going to be clear, stable and high quality.
Full disclosure, the A7III isnât going to replace a professionalâs video setup. Itâs premium at the $2000.00 price point and is fantastic for hobbyists, but it is does fall short on some options like frame rate settings that professionals will notice.
*
Full frame video
means that the camera is able to take advantage of its entire field of view while taking video. This is critical because it allows you to fit more into the frame while being closer to the subject, which lets you take crystal clear high quality video.
The Sony A7 vs the A7S and A7R
There are technically 3 items in the
Sony A7III
line, and this article has been mostly speaking about the classic A7III in 2024. The
A7SIII
and
A7RIII
are two different specialized versions of the camera, with the A7SIII covering some of the video issues that I talked about above, and the A7RIII having a higher megapixel processor.
Without getting into the technical details, the A7SIII is a great choice if youâre planning to shoot a lot of video and take advantage of that feature. Itâs also had some design changes that made the buttons beefier and gave the camera a larger grip. I personally like the style of the classic A7III, but itâs worth holding them both to see if you fall in love with one.
The A7RIII has a higher megapixel count, in fact, itâs almost double what the classic A7III has, but that doesnât mean that itâs automatically better for you. The megapixel difference only really starts to show up in larger prints
â around 20Ă30 â
and itâs not that noticeable until weâre looking at prints of 30Ă45. If youâre planning on hanging some of your shots on the wall, the A7RIII will be worth it, but if youâre just looking to digitally store your memories, you can stick with the classic A7III for 2024.
The Sony A7III vs the Sony A7IV
As of December 2021, the A7III is getting replaced with the
Sony A7IV
, which means there is another camera with the same compact style and power, but with a lot of added features.
Generally, the A7IV is a big jump from the A7III, it has everything we mentioned here and more, but it is worth keeping the price tag in mind. Youâll be spending a lot more on the A7IV, and whether thatâs worth it or not is up to you. If youâre on the fence, you can check out our
full review of the Sony A7IV.
Travel Photography with the Sony A7III
If youâre looking to take a camera with you on your next vacation, then itâs still great to pick up a
Sony A7III
in 2024. Both of its main features I mentioned above
(the focus points and image stabilization)
are almost custom made for travel photography. Itâs a forgiving camera; itâs going to pull off shots that other cameras would leave out of focus or shaky, and thatâs invaluable on the road.
Putting a midrange lens like the Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA onto the A7III is a fantastic street photography experience as itâs a lightweight package that acts as a good âgeneralistâ setup. If youâre looking to take some landscape shots during your travel, then you might want to look into a lens like the Sony Zeiss 16-35 for a better wide-angle experience.
Finally, one of the best things about the Sony A7III for travel is that it has robust battery life, with an estimated 710 shots per charge. In my experience this holds true, with the camera taking well over 600 photos before running out of juice, and Iâm not always perfect about turning the camera off between shots. This long battery life means that the Sony A7III is going to be a safe choice even if youâre planning on being out for the full day.
City Photography
Similarly, to travel photography, the Sony A7IIIâs image stabilization and incredible focus points mean that taking shots on the move is never an issue, which is always an asset in city settings. Overall, the camera itself preforms very well, has good battery life and is going to do most of what you need it to do in a city setting.
The other nice thing about the
Sony A7III
when it comes to shooting in the city is that the camera surprisingly small for a full frame camera. When youâre already pulling around photography equipment or backup lenses the size difference is negligible, but if youâre planning to use the Sony A7III as a
âgrab and goâ
camera for street photography, itâs size is a saving grace. Even a couple of years after itâs release the small size means the Sony A7III is great in 2024.
The only disadvantage I found with the A7III is that it has an extremely distinctive and loud shutter sound. Itâs not a huge issue, but it might turn some heads on the street. The real issue is that the âsilent shutterâ mode on the camera is almost unusable because it leads to artifacting and lighting issues. A silent shutter mode is a great option, but if it ruins picture quality, Iâd prefer the feature not even be there.
Landscape Photography
The
Sony A7III
is a good generalist camera, which means that with the proper lenses it works quite well as a landscape camera, and with some clever shutter speed and aperture settings it can even be used for some
stunning night photography
.
That said, many of the A7IIIâs unique features arenât relevant during
landscape photography
. Image stabilization and focus points donât mean much when a camera is on a tri-pod and your using manual focus. Itâs not that the A7III is bad at landscape photography, itâs just that itâs just a good landscape camera, as opposed to a great travel or street photography camera.
As long as you have a good (Sony compatible) lens, the A7III is good for landscape photography. If youâre considering buying the A7III and plan to do nothing but landscapes, just keep in mind itâs not this cameraâs biggest strength.
Lenses to Travel With
City Vacation:
Sony Sonnar FE 55mm F1.8 ZA
If youâre taking a trip to London, Rome, or anywhere where midrange lenses shine, the
FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens
is going to be one of your best bets. Itâs a great midrange lens thatâs lightweight and adaptive to pretty much anything you need during a day of city travel. An overall great choice for ensuring the best pictures of your big city vacation.
Wilderness Vacation:
Sony Zeiss 16-35 f/4
If youâre headed âout thereâ and need something a little more robust to take wide landscape shots, the Zeiss a fantastic option. Itâs one of the oldest wide-angle lenses on the Sony e-mount system, but that doesnât mean itâs been outclassed over time. The lens is like a cast iron pan, itâs not new, but itâs the best thing in the kitchen.
In Summary
If youâve seen other reviews of the Sony A7III you donât need me to tell you that itâs a good camera, but the real key is that it holds up. The Sony A7III is a couple of years old now as is still one of the best options on the market for travel photography, which is pretty darn impressive.
Overall, if youâre already invested in the Sony lens portfolio, or if you donât have a collection that will be obsolete on for the A7III, Iâd highly recommend you pick one up.
Pros
Great Automatic Settings for Easy Photography
Extremely Adaptable to Different Photography Types
Colour is High Quality
Compact and Easy to Carry
Fantastic Out-of-the-box Battery Life
Cons
Sony Lenses Only: Which makes it hard to invest in the ecosystem
Very loud shutter
Poor silent shutter setting

Overall, if youâre already invested in the Sony lens portfolio, or if you donât have a collection that will be obsolete on for the A7III, Iâd highly recommend you pick one up.
## Pros
- Great Automatic Settings for Easy Photography
- Extremely Adaptable to Different Photography Types
- Colour is High Quality
- Compact and Easy to Carry
- Fantastic Out-of-the-box Battery Life
## Cons
- Sony Lenses Only: Which makes it hard to invest in the ecosystem
- Very loud shutter
- Poor silent shutter setting

- Colour is High Quality
- Compact and Easy to Carry

The [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) is the third entry into Sonyâs popular A7 line of mirrorless generalist cameras. The A7 line launched in 2013, with the A7III coming out in 2018. The line was heralded as a camera that was going to show that mirrorless cameras could really replace DSLRs.
Iâve been using the A7III since it launched, and with the release of the Sony [A7IV](https://wanderlustpulse.com/sony-a7iv-review/) hobbyists around the world are starting to wonder if the A7III is still a good camera or if itâs a model that should be left in the past. Considering how long Iâve been using it, I have some opinions. Should you really buy the Sony A7III in 2024?
## Unique Features of the Sony A7III
Perhaps the most important unique feature of the A7III is that it has downright incredible focus and autofocus coverage. In technical terms it has over 4 times the âfocus pointsâ of the comparable Nikon D850. In practical terms it means that itâs hard to miss a shot with the A7III, because as long as the subject is somewhat in frame, the camera will find and focus on it.
The second unique feature of the [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) is that it has powerful 5-point image stabilization built into the camera. This means that no matter what lens you toss onto the A7III itâs going to have access to that image stabilization, unlike many cameras that need to rely on the lens having it.
Both of these features really shine during âimperfectâ photography. If youâre out on the street and snapping pictures, image stabilization and powerful focus are critical to bringing home useable photos, but the features donât really affect studio shooting.
## Sony A7III Video
The [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) has some impressive stats when it comes to shooting video. It shoots in 4K full frame video*\**, which is truly impressive. The image stabilization really shines during video shooting as well, and does a good *(but not quite perfect)* job of absorbing footsteps and general human shakiness. Video that you take with the A7III is going to be clear, stable and high quality.
Full disclosure, the A7III isnât going to replace a professionalâs video setup. Itâs premium at the \$2000.00 price point and is fantastic for hobbyists, but it is does fall short on some options like frame rate settings that professionals will notice.
*\* [Full frame video](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_frame_\(cinematography\)) means that the camera is able to take advantage of its entire field of view while taking video. This is critical because it allows you to fit more into the frame while being closer to the subject, which lets you take crystal clear high quality video.*
## The Sony A7 vs the A7S and A7R
There are technically 3 items in the [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=e9a4c219f880275d530af9f491042a96) line, and this article has been mostly speaking about the classic A7III in 2024. The [A7SIII](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DP4NKGN/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08DP4NKGN&linkId=66c28fc670263989c307b531b10f8853) and [A7RIII](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076TGDHPT/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B076TGDHPT&linkId=916ef5b168fe7f627f4cd964ace91bed) are two different specialized versions of the camera, with the A7SIII covering some of the video issues that I talked about above, and the A7RIII having a higher megapixel processor.
Without getting into the technical details, the A7SIII is a great choice if youâre planning to shoot a lot of video and take advantage of that feature. Itâs also had some design changes that made the buttons beefier and gave the camera a larger grip. I personally like the style of the classic A7III, but itâs worth holding them both to see if you fall in love with one.
The A7RIII has a higher megapixel count, in fact, itâs almost double what the classic A7III has, but that doesnât mean that itâs automatically better for you. The megapixel difference only really starts to show up in larger prints *â around 20Ă30 â* and itâs not that noticeable until weâre looking at prints of 30Ă45. If youâre planning on hanging some of your shots on the wall, the A7RIII will be worth it, but if youâre just looking to digitally store your memories, you can stick with the classic A7III for 2024.
## The Sony A7III vs the Sony A7IV
As of December 2021, the A7III is getting replaced with the [Sony A7IV](https://wanderlustpulse.com/sony-a7iv-review/), which means there is another camera with the same compact style and power, but with a lot of added features.
Generally, the A7IV is a big jump from the A7III, it has everything we mentioned here and more, but it is worth keeping the price tag in mind. Youâll be spending a lot more on the A7IV, and whether thatâs worth it or not is up to you. If youâre on the fence, you can check out our [full review of the Sony A7IV.](https://wanderlustpulse.com/sony-a7iv-review/)
## Travel Photography with the Sony A7III
If youâre looking to take a camera with you on your next vacation, then itâs still great to pick up a [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) in 2024. Both of its main features I mentioned above *(the focus points and image stabilization)* are almost custom made for travel photography. Itâs a forgiving camera; itâs going to pull off shots that other cameras would leave out of focus or shaky, and thatâs invaluable on the road.
Putting a midrange lens like the Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA onto the A7III is a fantastic street photography experience as itâs a lightweight package that acts as a good âgeneralistâ setup. If youâre looking to take some landscape shots during your travel, then you might want to look into a lens like the Sony Zeiss 16-35 for a better wide-angle experience.
Finally, one of the best things about the Sony A7III for travel is that it has robust battery life, with an estimated 710 shots per charge. In my experience this holds true, with the camera taking well over 600 photos before running out of juice, and Iâm not always perfect about turning the camera off between shots. This long battery life means that the Sony A7III is going to be a safe choice even if youâre planning on being out for the full day.
### City Photography
Similarly, to travel photography, the Sony A7IIIâs image stabilization and incredible focus points mean that taking shots on the move is never an issue, which is always an asset in city settings. Overall, the camera itself preforms very well, has good battery life and is going to do most of what you need it to do in a city setting.
The other nice thing about the [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) when it comes to shooting in the city is that the camera surprisingly small for a full frame camera. When youâre already pulling around photography equipment or backup lenses the size difference is negligible, but if youâre planning to use the Sony A7III as a *âgrab and goâ* camera for street photography, itâs size is a saving grace. Even a couple of years after itâs release the small size means the Sony A7III is great in 2024.
The only disadvantage I found with the A7III is that it has an extremely distinctive and loud shutter sound. Itâs not a huge issue, but it might turn some heads on the street. The real issue is that the âsilent shutterâ mode on the camera is almost unusable because it leads to artifacting and lighting issues. A silent shutter mode is a great option, but if it ruins picture quality, Iâd prefer the feature not even be there.
### Landscape Photography
The [Sony A7III](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B43WPVK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07B43WPVK&linkId=ad6295bbed51da2790c1a98913626f0c) is a good generalist camera, which means that with the proper lenses it works quite well as a landscape camera, and with some clever shutter speed and aperture settings it can even be used for some [stunning night photography](https://wanderlustpulse.com/stargazing-in-the-sahara-desert/).
That said, many of the A7IIIâs unique features arenât relevant during [landscape photography](https://wanderlustpulse.com/5-simple-apps-for-landscape-photography/). Image stabilization and focus points donât mean much when a camera is on a tri-pod and your using manual focus. Itâs not that the A7III is bad at landscape photography, itâs just that itâs just a good landscape camera, as opposed to a great travel or street photography camera.
As long as you have a good (Sony compatible) lens, the A7III is good for landscape photography. If youâre considering buying the A7III and plan to do nothing but landscapes, just keep in mind itâs not this cameraâs biggest strength.
### Lenses to Travel With
#### City Vacation: [Sony Sonnar FE 55mm F1.8 ZA](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8N8Y5V/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07G8N8Y5V&linkId=5a3d53640945133cb0ac852dae5a0c1a)
If youâre taking a trip to London, Rome, or anywhere where midrange lenses shine, the [FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G8N8Y5V/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07G8N8Y5V&linkId=5a3d53640945133cb0ac852dae5a0c1a) is going to be one of your best bets. Itâs a great midrange lens thatâs lightweight and adaptive to pretty much anything you need during a day of city travel. An overall great choice for ensuring the best pictures of your big city vacation.
#### Wilderness Vacation: [Sony Zeiss 16-35 f/4](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NGTN25C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wanderlustpulse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00NGTN25C&linkId=fb3270367484ce2db67ec1bc383d4297)
If youâre headed âout thereâ and need something a little more robust to take wide landscape shots, the Zeiss a fantastic option. Itâs one of the oldest wide-angle lenses on the Sony e-mount system, but that doesnât mean itâs been outclassed over time. The lens is like a cast iron pan, itâs not new, but itâs the best thing in the kitchen.
## In Summary
If youâve seen other reviews of the Sony A7III you donât need me to tell you that itâs a good camera, but the real key is that it holds up. The Sony A7III is a couple of years old now as is still one of the best options on the market for travel photography, which is pretty darn impressive.
Overall, if youâre already invested in the Sony lens portfolio, or if you donât have a collection that will be obsolete on for the A7III, Iâd highly recommend you pick one up.
