![]() The full-frame cameras are expensive, but even so the A7 Mark III costs more than a comparable DSLR camera. While I think the A7 Mark III is the best general purpose camera right now in the market, it is expensive. Once charged fully - it charges through USP cable and there is no bundled charger (!!! wish Sony had bundled a charger) - it will last you one full day with ease. The battery life of mirrorless cameras has been their Achilles' heel but the A7 Mark III more or less fixes it. ![]() But unlike DSLR cameras, that struggle with video recording, mirrorless have always been good with videos. It can shoot footage in up to 4K, although I preferred to record most of the clips at 1080P. Video shooting too is something of a strong point with the A7 Mark III. Sure, it is no sports shooter - Sony has A9 for people who need that - but for most people, and most of the regular street, travel, or -to-day shooting, the A7 Mark III works very well. Almost all the time.īut other than the bit about auto focus accuracy and speed, I don't think the A7 Mark III has any real weaknesses. A good DSLR camera - for example like Nikon D750 with its 3D focus - just gets it right. But I also feel that this is one area where a DSLR camera still excels. Some of this is also because of my skills and clumsiness with the A7 Mark III. I must have clicked 100s of photos of dogs and most of them didn't come out sharp. ![]() But I continue to find the auto focus with a mirrorless slow for moving subjects, say for example an active dog. For portrait photos, there is also eye focus - which focuses on eyes of people - and there is face recognition feature too, which helps if you are clicking photos of your kid. You can select between various focus modes: Spot, continuous, automatic, manual etc. The coverage of focus is almost across the frame. Or when you are clicking portrait photos. The A7 Mark III excels - for mirrorless camera - at focussing when you are shooting landscape images. There are some things, that I feel can still be better. I have never seen such clean 12800 ISO JPEG from a camera earlier. And this is from a JPEG! It is brilliantly clean. See for example the 100 per cent eye crop from a photo clicked at 12800 ISO. In my experience this is the best general purpose camera for clicking low light photos. But in low light, I found the A7 Mark III is fantastic at dealing with noise and keeping it low and in pleasant grain. In good light, I still prefer colours that a DSLR like Nikon D750 can produce over what the A7 Mark III shoots. The A7 Mark III clicks beautiful photos, especially in low light. A full-frame DSLR camera still have better viewfinder because that is made up of all sharp optics and I love the fact I can see through optical viewfinders without turning on the camera - not possible in a mirrorless - but I didn't particularly miss it while shooting with the A7 Mark III.Īnd it's not only in the body, but also in what the A7 Mark III clicks where Sony has improved. It's bright, and while you still see some pixels, the clarity of the OLED screen is good enough for it to be used in almost all scenarios. The EVF too has been improved SIGNIFICANTLY compared to what we used to get in the old mirrorless cameras.
