In essence, the model gains a similar set of improvements as the high-resolution Alpha 7R III did in late 2017, and sports a near-identical body design.<\/p>\n<h3>Sony Alpha 7 III at a glance:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a31999 body only<\/li>\n<li>24.2MP BSI-CMOS full-frame sensor<\/li>\n<li>ISO 100-204800 (extended)<\/li>\n<li>10fps shooting<\/li>\n<li>4K video recording<\/li>\n<li>5-axis in body stabilisation<\/li>\n<li>\u00a32200 with Sony FE 28-70mm f\/3.5-5.6 OSS lens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the heart of the new camera is a brand new sensor, a 24.2MP back-illuminated full-frame CMOS design. In concert with Sony&#8217;s Bionz X processor and front-end LSI, it offers an ISO range of 100-204,800, 15 stops of dynamic range at low ISO and continuous shooting of 10 frames per second. The buffer is very respectable: 177 JPEGs, 89 compressed raw, or 42 uncompressed raw frames.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03110-acr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-117320 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03110-acr-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7 III\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Autofocus is dramatically improved too, with the new model capable of phase detection using 693 points arranged across 90% of the image area. It&#8217;s claimed to be twice as fast as its predecessor, and Sony&#8217;s Eye-Detect AF is available in continuous AF mode, where on the previous model it only worked in AF-S. The 5-axis in-body stabilisation system is rated to 5 stops benefit, a half-stop improvement over the older Alpha 7 II.<\/p>\n<p>The viewfinder is slightly larger than the A7 II&#8217;s, with a Zeiss T* coating, while the rear screen has gained touch functionality for setting the focus point and browsing through images in playback.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_117321&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03111-acr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-117321\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03111-acr-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7 III\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Sony has added 4K video recording (the A7II was only capable of Full HD), with an array of video-friendly features including focus peaking, zebra pattern exposure warnings, microphone and headphone sockets, and Hybrid Log Gamma for display on HDR-compatible 4K TVs.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03112-acr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-117322 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC03112-acr-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7 III\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Twin card slots are onboard, and you can choose to record simultaneously to both, or have different file types routed to the two slots. Alternatively it&#8217;s possible to automatically switch to the second card when the first is full. The camera also adopts Sony&#8217;s latest NP-FZ100 battery, with an impressive life of 710 shots using the LCD, or 610 with the viewfinder.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony Alpha 7 III will be available from March for \u00a32000 body only, or \u00a32200 with the Sony FE 28-70mm f\/3.5-5.6 OSS lens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has unveiled the third generation in its entry-level full-frame mirrorless A7 series, with the Alpha 7 III offering a new sensor, improved speed, upgraded autofocus and impressive battery life.
