Sony Alpha a7 III Kit

Crutchfield customer from CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA on 4/28/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I'm an amateur photographer with a better understanding of film cameras than digital wonders like the a7 III. It's light and compact compared to DSLRs, even with the zoom lens in this kit. It'd be super-stealthy with a smaller prime lens. I found that the 28-70 zoom range was really useful. My first approach was to let the camera do all the work (except zooming) by shooting in full automatic mode. And that proved to be a really fun and rewarding experience that yielded great results. The camera took great images in nighttime interior and full-sun outdoor situations. I love the tilting screen for getting candid and low-angle shots. To shoot some video of the returning hummingbirds at their feeders this spring, I set up a tripod and used the Imaging Edge app to control the camera remotely. That was pretty cool: I was seeing what the camera was seeing on my iPhone screen and could start and stop video recording. The app ended up being a bit buggy when calls or other apps that use Wi-Fi interrupted it, but I could see using a retired phone solely as a controller to work around that. Instead, I figured out how to turn off the screen (deep in the extensive menu system) so I could shoot video longer without running down the battery. All in all, this seems like a great camera kit with amazing features for the price. A fantastic introduction to the Sony a7 ecosystem, with tons of great possibilities for using higher-end lenses down the line.

This camera definitely exceeded my expectations!

Crutchfield customer from Kailua, HI on 4/2/2021

This is my first full frame camera and I love it! I was a Canon guy, but after researching and reading reviews I decided to go with the Sony, and I'm happy I did. You can't beat the quality and user friendliness for the price! This camera definitely exceeded my expectations!

Pros: Price for quality User friendly Too many options to list

Cons: I have bigger hands so this camera felt a little small to me but I fixed that by adding a battery grip which also extends the battery life. So no real cons I can think of

Sony Alpha a7 III Kit

Crutchfield customer from Earlysville, VA on 10/1/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The EVF leaves a little to be desired but you will be hard pressed to find a better bang-for-the-buck full frame mirrorless as capable as the a7iii for photos and video. The kit lens is acceptable for a variety of shooting and is very compact and lightweight. Stepping up to Zeiss/G/GMaster glass is a distinct improvement.

Pros: All around powerhouse Dual card slots 4K30 video

Cons: low res EVF slight AF twitch with landscape/architecture in low light

Sony a7 III is the best value of Sony's fullframe mirrorless cameras

Emporio from United States on 9/4/2018

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Sony a7 III represents the best value of Sony's fullframe mirrorless line-up. The Back-illuminated full-frame sensor gives a7 III higher sensitivity and readout speed compared to a7 & a7 II. The back-illuminated structure enhances light collection efficiency, expands circuitry scale and the copper wiring layer contributes to quicker data transfer, outputs data at very high speed, while minimizing noise to reveal fine details. Though it lacks the best-in-class read-out speed of a9's Stacked BSI sensor, this allows a7 III to capture finer and sharper detail.

Cons:

Excellent Hybrid Camera

Can from Brooklyn, NY on 8/15/2018

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

This camera has better auto focus than the a7r III and shoots video as good as a7s II if not better. This is the best hybrid mirrorless camera in the market right now until maybe fuji comes up with xh-2 or canon and nikon step up their game, but until then this is THE camera to buy!

Sony Alpha a7 III Kit

Debra from West Creek, NJ on 7/13/2018

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The only think I don't like is how easily the sensor becomes dusty. It makes it almost impossible to change lens while out on the field.

Pros: Great dynamic range. Fabulous features that work really well for real estate photography

Cons: Mirrorless sensor needs extra care for cleaning and caution when changing lenses. It is a dust magnet!
