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.

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.

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

@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!

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

I was mad at first, but then when I went through a different seller, I decided to treat myself and get the a7RIII instead of the a7III. 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...

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?

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..

@@auomi8762 I like it plenty, I went through national parks over Christmas, and pictures are stunning. What I would say is if you do mostly landscape, iiR is the way to go, but if you shoot more action and sports then definitely get the iiiR. IiR isn't as good with HDR and difficult lighting situations, and the focusing system is definitely slower

Great video on comparison. For me one of the big differences is the filter. Aside from the megapixel count difference, the Anti Aliasing on the a7iii softens the image and changes it. The texture and colours are different.

Hi! Great videos, I appreciate them a lot! Deciding between a73 & a7r3...I’ve been leaning towards the R3, but something that has me worried is that I’m someone who hates dragging a tripod with, I enjoy handling my camera for even landscape/wildlife shots I take. A friend warned me with high megapixels with the a7r3, it will show more hand held shake. Have you found this to be true? Any insight is super appreciated!
@ericinthewild
@ericinthewild 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Madeline! I also rarely have a tripod with me, but I've yet to feel like this cost me a shot! That said, it's true, the a73 will be impacted less by camera shake. This is an interesting question... I'm not really sure how to answer it other than saying: yes, in theory, the concern is valid, but in practice, I find myself leaning more toward the benefits that the a7r3 brings to the table.

@@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.
