Sony A7Riii vs Sony A7iii ! 10 REASONS to BUY the A7R3 in a Real World Comparison

[@reidsstuff2359]

That’s a lot of accusations lol

[@nphotodotorg2690]

I was trying to decide between the A7Riii and A7iii. I went with the A7Riii since I wanted to be able to print big. It was also on sale and got it for US$1718 + tax (with education discount). The A7iii would have been about $1550. I am still waiting for the camera to arrive, but was worried if I made the wrong decision by going with the Riii when everybody says you don't need high megapixels and 7iii is an all-around better camera. Your video made me feel better :). I also bought the Tamron 28-200mm. Will add a couple of primes in the future.

[@ericinthewild]

Sounds like a great deal! You're going to love it, I still use my R3 every day. Such an awesome camera, really.

[@999slawter]

Hey, are you still using the A7R III? What do you think about it?

[@jonathankrall6275]

Awesome video man. Helped me out a ton!!!

[@ericinthewild]

Thank you, and you are welcome!

[@jaycarlton2010]

Thanks for this helpful video. I just purchased the A7r III and was going to sell my A7 III. I then changed my mind and was going to send the A7r III back and keep my A7 III. However, after watching your video, I've decided that the A7r III will be a keeper and I will stick with my original plan to keep my new A7r III and sell my A7 III.

[@ericinthewild]

Good choice!

[@pavilion3162]

For Architecture & Real Estate photography.... Which should i go A7III OR RIII?

[@ericinthewild]

Hi Sita, it depends on your shooting style. If you are shooting indoors without lights, then perhaps the A7iii. If you have lights, shoot outdoors, or simply want the highest quality, then go with the R3. If you really want high details, you can use the pixel shift mode I mentioned in the video; this is only on the R3... just some things to consider. Good luck!

[@storm14k]

I actually came here after realizing the R was only a couple hundred more used than the a7iii.

[@ericinthewild]

EXACTLY.

[@BenParman]

Thanks a lot for making this video. This is a decision I've been trying to make and you absolutely pointed out several things that I've not seen in any of the many other videos I've watched on this topic - ie 500k vs 200k shutter and construction quality. I hope this video makes it further up in the search results as I think a lot of people are unaware of some of the points you made.

[@ericinthewild]

Hey Ben, thanks a bunch! I appreciate that. Happy shooting.

[@thebinpustey6497]

I’ve owned a 7Rii for a half-year, and love the high resolution. One day I’ll move up to a newer one, but this is still the same sensor, and that’s the biggest feature, for sure!

[@ericinthewild]

Share on my friend! Thank you for the high praise! And thank you for watching!

[@randolphcroft4212]

Very good comparison review. Thanks. I already own the 7R3, a decision from the beginning I made for the size as I was primarily purchasing it for architecture and large prints. However, I was dickering back and forth on getting a cheaper 'B' body as backup, and have decided NOT to get the a73 as several features I care about would be missing entirely. I think I will just have to wait until people buying a7R4's are jettisoning their good-condition-used a7R3's and just get a 'spare'. Thanks!

[@ericinthewild]

Hi Randolph --- I think that is a good decision! As I mentioned, the additional expected life span alone could tip the scales in favor of the A7Riii in my opinion. Given the prices are somewhat similar at the moment, it makes it easier; as you said, many are dropping their R3s in favor of the R4s. Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.

An alternative to the 1 and 2 options for different shooting settings, you can use the toggle/hold feature to set a custom button to quickly change shooting settings to increase shutter speed, drive mode etc. It's an incredible feature. I do this for wildlife/birds because you simply don't have time to switch to another setting. I use 1 and 2 for filming in 24 and 120 fps. Thanks for the video :)

[@tomd4748]

Cold and fresh German mornings necessitate weather sealing- which the A7III doesn’t have.

[@marcelocampoamor4761]

Thank you very much for the comparison between the two cameras. I have both cameras and they complement each other very well. Crop mode on the A7III is 10 MP not 8 MP , inferior to the 18 MP A7RIII but usable. The difference in resolution is evident when working with the photos in PP but not when the photos are used in social media or printed at sizes that are common to most people. For landscapes there is no doubt about which camera to use but for other types of photography having smaller files has its advantages. both to work in PP for a more comfortable workflow without having to have a supercomputer and for storage reasons. Without saying that the A7RIII does not work well for weddings or street photography I think the A7III is a better tool.

On this Sony A7r III 3 an important thing is missing which is the color inversion or negative. Very useful for reproducing color or black and white negatives. Many photographers have these negatives in stock and could digitize them. I hope this message reaches Mr. Sony's ears.

[@parthsphotography7998]

Hello I'm huge fan of yours and i need one suggestion from you, I'm a hybrid shooter and i want to buy my first full frame camera, so i buy Sony A7iii or I'll wait for A7iv ?

[@ericinthewild]

Hi Parths! Thanks for the kind words. Well, I suppose a budget question will come into this answer. Of course, the A7iii is great and capable camera. With that said, I would simply go with it, and invest in lenses. Many top notch guys shoot with the A7iii. If at some point you think you NEED the A7iv, well, then flip your A7iii on the used market (buy it used, too!!) and you probably won't lose so much on your investment; plus you got crucial time to practice and fine tune your skills. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of it! Enjoy and have fun!

Good video! I’ve had the a7iii for almost 2 years and I’ve loved every min of shooting with it. That said, I’m purchasing an a7riii next month for all the reasons you mentioned.

[@YourSpongeBoy]

@@JeanV1986 I have been loving the Riii. I mainly shoot in studio so my ISO never goes above 400. I do shoot weddings and events on occasion, and in those instances I shoot with the 7iii primarily. Since the release of the newer cameras, I’m heavily considering buying 2 a7IV’s and selling my Riii and 7iii. I have over 220k shutter actuations on my 7iii (which is only rated for 200k) so I think I’m coming to the tail end of the camera life. My Riii only has around 40k, so there’s plenty of life left in that camera. Decisions decisions. I hope this helped Jean.

[@JeanV1986]

@@YourSpongeBoy thanks for your quick answer! I'm loving the A7iii honestly but I wish the screen was better, the evf is ok but could also be improved. Also, the more durable shutter is a plus.

[@kuchesezik]

as i was waiting (about 2 years) for the 73 to drop under $1300 used (now even found for $1000) it seems that the r3 has also dropped to that price, which is pretty wild. after having watched a few comparisons my only concern aside from the obviously larger file is the lower light-gathering capabilities of the more populated sensor, a concern i also share for the 74, in comparison to the 73. i first watched a few comparisons of the 73 to the s2, which it ironically outperforms in iso, but the s3 is at the other end of the spectrum. is the slightly lower iso a worthwhile consideration in lower-light scenarios? and another important concern, is the lack of an a-a filter something that induces serious moiré?

[@KASHMIRLUST]

thanks wil be buying this and subscribed the channel because of this Video- keep ur support for us as well

[@Denyoshi]

Hey, what about night photography?

[@ericinthewild]

In general, less MP and the same sensor size will be better at absorbing more light, as there is more area per pixel! However, I have been impressed anyway with the A7R3. The full frame sensor is much better than apsc, for example. That said, if you are a night photography photographer --- well, then maybe check out the A7S series!

[@plutonium5156]

The 7r3 does not have an anti aliasing filter. The 73 does.

[@anecro]

Picked up my used a7iii a couple of days ago for 4 reasons: - Money (got it 900€ used and there's no way you'll be able to find an Riii down to that price just yet, lowest was 1250 or something) - Low light. Both in video and photos that thing is a beast and is rightfully in the middle of the resolution vs sensitivity battle, it's a much better all rounder than an R or an S camera. Anything you might want to get into you can with this camera and that's a big selling point to people without a lot of money to throw around. I also do a lot of astrophotography so an R wouldn't cut it, I was growing tired of fighting against noise. 24mp still allow for some cropping too, 12 or even 10mp in apsc mode are both more than enough for online posting or small prints, it's just more limited to re-framing instead of getting extra reach out of a photo. - Lenses. With more megapixels you need better quality glass (if you want to utilise them) which means more money being thrown again. With a 24mp sensor I can get away with lenses that are even considered bad in the community which is really important to me. - Storage. Can't be buying 4k capable quality sd cards all the time or cleaning my storage devices to find space. I'm a little trigger happy so these 24mp fit like a glove to me. I do think that if you have the money an a7Riii+ camera is the best choice, but one point still stands and that's low light performance. Unless some kind of wonder material starts getting used soon I don't see the R cameras beating low megapixel full frames at low light. Edit: The a7iii gives you a 10mp image in crop mode, not an 8mp one.

I actually just found a crazy deal on a a7riii at a local pawn shop, I got the camera with a lens for $475 usd before tax and the whole thing is like new, totally thinking they priced it wrong or something lol.

A7iii so much better value than riii, specially with the tamron 28-75. Rather get that combo than just riii, also longer lasting camera? Highly doubtful about that. Riii shutters die as often as the a7iii. EVF difference is also pretty minor.

[@ericinthewild]

Well, we can all have our own ideas. For me, the better build and the extra MP alone are worth it for the R. It is found only a few hundred more on the used market too, so why not. I actually bought both, and after re-selling the A7iii; ended up only paying 140EUR more for the R. So with price out of the way, the features of the R and quality of the images are simply better.

It arrives tomorrow, and the more I see, the more I'm glad I went with the RIII instead. I was worried about fewer PDAF points, and being able to use them up to f/11 (I think) in the a7III vs f/8 in the RIII but loosing those megapixels always kept nawing at me, so in a way I'm glad Adorama screwed up which forced me to change my plans...

[@ericinthewild]

Hi John, as you said, I think you got lucky in some weird way! The R is great, and you are going to love it. I have not had one qualm about purchasing it. Plus, my trusty MBP handles the files much better than expected. I shoot in compressed RAW. Let me know how your experience goes! Also, do you think it would be useful to make a video about custom keys and menu setup?

[@alchemist_x79]

So far I've only had it for a day, but I already feel it's a quantum leap ahead from my a7RII. The autofocus is absolutely sick. The only thing I'm disappointed with is it seems that the touch screen I can only specify where the focus point goes, but then I still have to focus with a camera button. I was hoping I could tap a spot and it would acquire focus. Unless I'm missing something? But other than that, it's a minor quibble. I haven't done much with the video features yet (I'm a stills shooter) but coupled with the 100-400GM it's been a beast so far. Overall I'm very happy with it. I think a custom keys and menu setup video would be a great idea.

It's 2023 and when i saw someone selling a7riii earlier this year, i took the chance to get it. As a photographer, i think the extra pixel really suites my style of shooting.. I can go back and forth from crop to ff just by setting my c3 into 1 push button switch from ff to crop and vice versa without loosing much pixels.. It's like having 35-50, 50-85 85-135 at the same time at widest aperture.. Take note that i also used a7iii before. A7iii is a bit better for videos esp low light but it's not noticeable.. Prints in both bodies is quite similar but the r3 has and edge when it comes to large prints..but but but what really sold me is the versatility of it when it comes to shooting between ff to crop and vise versa..

[@RobbertsTravelGuides]

I expected actual content of the camera shooting, but nothing was more true.

At this point I’m debating if to wait for a7iv or the upcoming a7riiia🤔

[@Anonymous-ft7ut]

Canon eos R3 looks promising too. 😇

[@charruaporelmundo]

@@Anonymous-ft7ut ...and the 18 Sony e mount lenses I have will fit there?

@Gustavo: You will have to use an adapter

hi Linus

[@nomanhaider2742]

I was hell bent on getting the a7iii and came across this video. Time to do more researching

[@aminemikaelson6059]

Great detailed video, 500 subs? I thought that was 500k. Remember me when you get 1 million 😁.

[@ericinthewild]

Haha --- hey, I appreciate that! Can you help me out and find the other 499,500? ;)

[@franckalary2014]

very articulated review, definitely useful , many thanks

[@ericinthewild]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@florinflorin249]

Is it worth to buy a second hand a7riii over an a7 iii , 200$ extra for the R, shutter count 50k pics for the R, 2000 pics for the a7 iii ?

[@ericinthewild]

That's exactly what this video is meant to help you decide! In the end, you have to make the decision :).

[@florinflorin249]

@@ericinthewild how about low light, versus a7 iii ? what would be the downside for the r?

[@ericinthewild]

@@florinflorin249 If you are shooting indoors a lot, then maybe the A7iii would be a better option. However, I am impressed with the A7Riii's low-light capabilities too. Plus, you would normally have a flash in such a situation anyway. The R generally also makes larger file sizes, so you have to be sure your computer can handle the additional processing load. I believe the A7iii has slightly better autofocus, if that is very very important to you. It covers more of the frame, but the R is also quite good.

[@openeye126]

I would NEVER buy a A7rIII again

[@ericinthewild]

I guess you don't need two ;)

[@thebeefilms6454]

great video thanks

[@aburashidibrahim7250]

Useful explanation which i was searching... 👍

[@Aron-mj1ie]

For wildlife Witch does best?

[@ericinthewild]

I'd say definitely the A7R3! The extra MP really help with cropping in for added zoom and detail :).

[@babetravelling]

A73 sounds really good for 300$ diff

[@ericinthewild]

To each their own :)
