Sony A7S III Specs

One of the highlights of the A7S II is its fully articulating screen. Sony has finally offered a full touch UI, which works smoothly on this camera.

These changes, coupled with lots of other smaller improvements, like a full-sized HDMI port to a separate record button located on the top plate, make the A7S II the ideal camera with nothing to complain about.

It comes as no surprise though, you shouldn’t expect anything less given the Sony A7S III price.

The camera sports a 12.1MP resolution, and while the pixel counts might sound too low compared to that of competitors like the 45MP of Canon, Sony has its reason to do so.

The A7S III caps at 12.1MP and 4K, but it aims at being the best 4K camera with low-light performance and high IOS.

The camera enjoys features Sony is best-known for, including eye-tracking for humans and animals with a 30% faster speed, a customizable autofocus function, and 759 phase-detection AF points.

The list of highlights doesn’t stop there. Other cool features include a 9.44MP viewfinder and digital and analog input from its mount.

Build And Handling

Sony A7S III inherits the solid and compact form of the A7S II.

Above the grip, you will find one of the buttons is now a big record button, confirming Sony’s intention of making this camera an ideal choice for videos.

The control wheel is still there and next to it is the on/off switch, dials for exposure, and modes, along with a C2 button.

Port-wise, you have a full-sized HDMI port, a micro USB port, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm microphone jack, and a headphone jack. On the right, you will find the NFC point and memory card slots.

On the back of the camera, dials and buttons are plentiful, giving you all the control you will ever need, which you may expect given the Sony A7S III price.

The menu and the C3 button are on the top left. Move from the eye-piece area and you will see the AEL, AF-on, and the C1. Below them is a four-way joystick for navigation.  The rest of the setup includes the gallery, Fn, trash button, and the four-way jog-dial.

The screen sports a 1.44 million-dot resolution, offering you enough sharpness. The touch UI is thoughtfully designed so you can easily navigate around with one hand.

Performance

Low-light performance is one of the highlights we want to give special attention to in this Sony a7s III review.

Cranking up the ISO allows the camera to show high sensitivity and it isn’t a stressful experience at all.

Sony’s dedicated 12.1MP sensor has twice the A7S II’s readout speed. Its structure is back-illuminated, allowing it to take in more light. Last but not least, the Bionz XR processor provides power for the whole thing, so the Sony A7S III price is justified after all, at least for those in need of excellent low-light performance.

The camera is powered by a Z battery, which, according to Sony, delivers a 60% improvement, an equivalence of 95 minutes of video recording.

In tests, it can comfortably record at 4K for more than an hour, which is excellent compared to what its competitors can do.

The USB-C port equips the camera with fast charging technology, which tops up the device faster than what you have with the micro USB connector.

With long-time hangovers like the missing articulating screen, clunky menus, and buffer issues, Sony has finally paid attention to what photographers want.

The only thing that stands in between you and this camera is the Sony A7S III price, which makes the device a real investment. However, if you can stretch your budget, this camera is a one-stop solution for almost everything.

This camera is obviously for professional filmmakers and if you are just an amateur, Sony A7S III vs A7 III, the latter is more suitable for your needs.
