The Sony α7 III, along with the 24-105mm and 150-600mm lenses, gives you the power and precision you need to capture unique moments just the way you want.
The mirrorless digital camera Sony ILCE-7 III features an updated sensor design and is a camera suitable for both photo and video applications with a wide range of working situations
The newly developed 24.2MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor are optimized for improved speed and low-light performance, enabling an impressive 10fps continuous shooting rate and improved autofocus performance for faster and more reliable subject tracking.
The updated Fast Hybrid AF system uses a combination of 693 phase detection points and 425 contrast detection areas for very faster focus acquisition in nearly all lighting conditions and maintains focus on the subject more effectively. In addition to speed and autofocus, the processing improvements also provide more clear images with highly redacted noise throughout the sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200, which can even be extended to ISO 50-204800.
Video recording capabilities have been enhanced for improved quality when shooting UHD 4K video using the full width of the full-frame sensor to minimize moiré and aliasing. Additionally, the a7 III utilizes 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE sensor-shift image stabilization to minimize the occurrence of camera shake by up to 5 stops.
Aside from the imaging system updates, the body design of the Sony a7 III has also been revised to include a rear-facing 3.0" 922k-dot touchscreen LCD, which features a tilting design to better support high and low angle work. A Tru-Finder OLED EVF viewfinder with 2.36 million pixels is responsible for bright and clear subject recognition.
Two SD memory card slots are now available for more shooting flexibility, and a larger NP-FZ100 battery can now also be used to deliver up to approximately 710 shots per charge. For use of the camera in harsh conditions, the body is made of a rugged magnesium alloy, this and the a7 III's weather sealing also make the body dust and moisture resistant.
24.2MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor
The 24.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor works with the BIONZ X image processor to deliver high-resolution still images and video while minimizing noise and improving speed. This sensor design works with an on-chip lens design and anti-reflective coating, as well as the elimination of the optical low-pass filter, to improve shooting quality and increase detail.
In addition, a copper wire layer improves data transfer speed for creating high-resolution 14-bit stills with a native sensitivity of ISO 100-51200, which can be extended to ISO 50-204800. In addition, internal UHD enables 4K video recording with a wide dynamic range using the full width of the full-frame sensor.
The BIONZ X processor also works in conjunction with a high-speed front-end LSI to realize faster processing times while capturing an impressive 15 stops of dynamic range at low sensitivities. The sensor and processor combination also enables fast continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second at full resolution, for up to 177 consecutive frames and with full-time AF/AE, and whether using the mechanical shutter or electronic shutter. When shooting in Live View mode, a continuous shooting rate of up to 8 frames per second is still possible.
Fast hybrid AF system
An enhanced 4D FOCUS system now uses a combination of 693 phase detection points, covering approximately 93% of the frame, along with 425 contrast detection areas to ensure reliable and fast autofocus and subject tracking. This fast hybrid AF system now achieves twice the focusing speed and more reliable tracking compared to previous a7 models, as well as significantly improved focusing in low light.
The use of phase detection points now enables the use of A-mount lenses via the optional LA-EA3 or LA-EA1 lens adapters with full continuous AF/AE tracking compatibility.
The Sony a7 III offers extensive, customizable color and gamma controls, allowing users to adjust gamma, black level, knee, color level and more. In addition, users can use the same S-Log2 gamma curve found on high-end cameras from Sony Cinema, which adds up to 1300% more dynamic range to the video signal than the traditional REC709, increasing flexibility in post-production.
HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support is available for recording within a wide color space in addition to BT.2020 color space. In addition to S-Log2, S-Log3 is also available for creating an effective 14-stop dynamic range with improved grading control in the shadow to midtone area of the image.
Body Design and Integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
The XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF is responsible for a bright, clear and detailed display with a resolution of 2.36 million pixels and a magnification of 0.78x. This viewfinder design also enables the use of autofocus in focus magnifier mode, as well as enhanced focusing to support manual focusing. In addition to the EVF, a 3.0" 922k-dot LCD is also mounted on the back of the camera, featuring a touch panel design for intuitive operation and focusing. The screen also tilts 107° up and 41° down to facilitate working at high and low angles.
The magnesium alloy chassis ensures rigidity, durability and stability while keeping weight to a minimum. The lens mount has also been improved to better support heavy lenses, and the grip rigidity has been improved to allow more comfortable holding with one hand.
The weather sealing is designed to resist dust and moisture and ensure reliable operation in harsh weather conditions.
With the NP-FZ100 battery, the a7 III has improved battery life and is now rated for approximately 710 shots per charge. Dual SD memory card slots allow flexible file storage and editing, and can be configured to partition raw and JPEG files or be used for overflow recording. One of the card slots is designed to support UHS-II memory cards. In addition to a micro USB port, a USB 3.0 Type-C port has been added for faster and more reliable tethering support. The USB Type-C port allows the camera to charge from the host power source while plugged in.
Built-in Wi-Fi allows the Sony a7 III to instantly share images to mobile devices for direct online sharing to social networks, email and cloud. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also supported, enabling a one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices; no complex setup is required. Once connected, the connected mobile device can also display a live image on its screen and remotely control the camera shutter. Bluetooth connectivity enables location data collection.

Nach sehr schneller Lieferung erhielt ich Kamera und dies Objektiv. Das Batis/Distagon von Zeiss hat meine Erwartungen noch weit übertroffen. Ich erkenne keine Verzeichnungen und das Objektiv liefert knackige Schärfe bei gutem Kontrast. Dabei ist es - im Vergleich - noch ein relativ leichtes Teil. An der A7 sitzt das Objektiv wackelfrei und fest am E-mount.

die Kamera aus dem Hause Sony ist Top
ich bin sehr zufrieden
Schnelle Lieferung , alles super!
vielseitig einsetzbar und doch gut zu bedienen.
Sehr gute Qualität! Schade, das das 1:1 Format (für online Shops) bei dieser Kamera nicht mehr einstellbar ist.Hat Sony leider eingespart!
Ich bin von Nikon Z50 auf Canon EOS R6 und dann auf Nikon Z6 II umgestiegen. Da ich mich so langsam aber sicher auf Wildlife (Schwerpunkt Vogelfotografie) festgelegt bzw. verliebt habe, ging mir der Autofokus den Nikon in seine Systemkameras einbaut ziemlich auf den Keks. Sehr häufig wurde der Hintergrund fokussiert und der Ausschuss aus Out-of-Focus-Bildern war echt nicht mehr lustig.
Hab mich dann für die Sony Alpha 7 III mit dem Tamron 28-75 f2.8 entschieden. Zusätzlich hab ich mir noch das geniale 200-600 von Sony dazu bestellt.
Was soll ich sagen, ich bin endlich bei meinem Hersteller angekommen. Top Autofokus. Klasse Haptik (hatte hier etwas Angst, aber komme mit meinen Pranker echt super zurecht). Bildqualität bis ISO 12.800 gut zu gebrauchen, Stichwort Topaz Denoise. 10 Bilder die Sekunde sehr flott und mit 8 Bildern/sec auch noch in Echtzeit.
Finde auch das Objektiv echt klasse. Gibt zwar bald den Nachfolger, aber bin damit zufrieden. Sehr leicht und scharf. Lightroom hat ein eigenes Profil für das Objektiv und als RAW-Shooter kein Problem in meinen Augen.
Durch den Wechsel habe ich meine Keeper-rate stark nach oben geschraubt. Was sich allerdings negativ auf den Workflow im Nachgang äußert. Wenn so gut wie alle Bilder scharf sind, dauert das bei durchschnittlich 400 Stück pro Session schon etwas länger.
Dies ist das mit Abstand beste Objektiv, das ich je besessen habe. Es ist von einer bestechenden Schärfe, bis zum Bildrand. Die Farben kommen sehr natürlich und brillant. Tonnenförmige Verzeichnungen habe ich nicht wahrgenommen. Die Handhabung ist leicht, das Gewicht hält sich sehr in Grenzen. Zur Tiefenschärfekontrolle zeigt der kleine Bildschirm auf dem Objektiv bei Manuellschaltungen den Schärfebereich an, was ich für sehr nützlich halte. Das Objektiv ist auf jeden Fall seinen Preis wert.
Ein Hammer-Objektiv für meine Alpha 7III, gepaart mit dem Service von Foto-Erhard: beste Empfehlung.
Ich hatte bislang noch kein schärferes Objektiv in meinem Besitz. Zwar teuer, aber sehr gut.
Die neue A7III merzt gekonnt die allermeisten bekannten Schwachpunkte aus und avanciert damit zum wirklich praktisch nutzbaren DSLR-Ersatz. Vor allem Autofokus, Akku, Lowlightfähigkeiten und diverse Kinderkrankheiten der A7/II wurden beseitigt. Die Verarbeitung wurde verfeinert (kein Knarzen mehr, der Kartenschachtdeckel hält), leider wurde das Touchdiplay nur halbherzig zum Setzen des Fokuspunktes umgesetzt. Das Menü ist verbessert, aber imer noch unlogisch.
Insgesamt ein klarer Fortschritt.
