The Best Camera for the Hardcore Photographer.
Before I go into my review of this camera lets just go over my camera history, so you know what experiences I am comparing this to.My first digital camera was the Canon Rebel XTi -> Canon EOS 60D -> Canon EOS 6D -> Sony A7ii -> Sony A7Riii. I have also shot with the Sony A7Rii and a few other recent Canon mirrorless cameras like the EOS M and M3.In November of 2016 I made the switch from my 6D to Sony after borrowing a friend’s a7ii for a week. I loved it and it fit my workflow perfectly. I was immediately a fan. I used that camera every day. Fast forward to the announcement of the A7Riii a couple months back and it was the perfect time to upgrade.My focus is photography, but I wanted to be able to shoot 4K video for some projects at work too. I have had my A7Riii for a little over a week now. The slightly different shape is an immediate improvement for me. I have bigger hands and the Sony mirrorless cameras have always been a tad hard to hold on to. The slightly deeper body is actually one of my favorite changes. I picked up the Gariz leather half-case made for the A9 (Gariz XS-CHA9BK) and it fits like a charm and adds just a little more height to the camera as well. I HIGHLY recommend the half-case for people with larger hands, it gives my pinky a place to rest.The image quality out of this camera is insane, but I have used the A7Rii a bit and it is no different, so that is not a surprise. But for people not coming from the A7Rii, the detail you can get out of these sensors blows my mind.Video quality is good, I am just getting started with this area of creativity and am learning. But the ability to shoot flat is great. I am excited to be able to expand in this area.Battery life is great. I personally never have had a problem with carrying a few extra batteries in my pocket. I drove around Iceland for a week with the A7ii and 4 batteries and did fine. But this camera obviously has a much more impressive battery, something I will never say no to.Build quality is something you expect from a camera at this price point. The fitment is great, the buttons feel wonderful.RAW support is something I am patiently waiting for since I use Lightroom. There is a simple EXIF hack to change the camera ID to an A7Rii to get them in Lightroom, but still waiting for official support. (This is 100% on Adobe, but still a point to make)The viewfinder is beautiful. Coming from the A7ii, this makes a big difference. I still have not decided if I use the viewfinder or the LCD more, probably evenly split. But nonetheless the viewfinder is better, that’s welcome.Finally, Autofocus. I can not even begin to explain this. I know the A9 is faster, I know Canon and Nikon have cameras that are faster. But I have NEVER used a camera with autofocus like this one. I have always shot single-focus center point and just “focus and recompose” so that I can quickly get what I want in focus in focus. However, this is the first time in my life I have shot with a camera and I feel it focuses quickly and accurately. I shoot a lot with fast lenses and so focus is very important. This camera absolutely nails it. The subject tracking is incredible, the eye tracking is incredible.In conclusion, if you read this far you have probably already watched every YouTube review on this camera and visited this page 100 times. If you can afford one, you’ll probably get one. If you can’t, you’ll probably save for one. Maybe this review helped someone, that’s all I hope. Take care everyone, and keep on shooting!

Amazing Camera
You can find about a million lessons and reviews online that detail all the features on this camera. This review is just me and an general overview of what I think about the camera. That being said.Amazing camera. Will do just about everything you expect it to. Build is excellent with one minor exception if you are a perfectionist. The doors that cover the USB ports are slightly flimsy and I noticed that when I placed the camera on the table you could break off the door if you are not careful. That being said the battery life of the camera has much improved. I purchased a second battery but have yet to use it (spent a day at the Philadelphia Flower Show and 1 battery got me through the day.)This is not a camera to use on automatic. If you love playing with different lighting schemes and layouts, taking portraits and taking tons of pictures and exploring different ways of taking pictures then you can't go wrong with this camera. If you want to spend a ton of money on a camera and use it on auto look at the Sony RX series. Video is also excellent and I have started using a lot more. I was always a still photographer but this camera has much more flexibility in the video area and if you vlog you won't be disappointed and I am an amateur videographer.While I now have native Sony Lenses you can use other lenses from your collection just remember you will need adapters that may not work as well as the native lenses. Many companies are now jumping on board with this camera and you can find some great lenses for decent prices or you can go all out with the G-Master line.I also like the bluetooth function of pairing with the phone to add location data. Helps out a lot when sorting by location. Transfer of photos to phone via wireless has improves as well if you like to get your photos out quickly.Menu functions are still a little clunky to use but there are enough custom buttons on the phone that you can automate you favorite actions to quickly get a great shot.The eye and face autofocus are amazing and when you try it you will not be disappointed.If you don't want to spend the bucks on this camera you can check out the new A7m3 coming out this month. I don't need it but it is cheaper with the same bells and whistles mostly with less megapixel then the A7Rm3. I am waiting on the next firmware update to see what they can do with this series.You can't go wrong with this camera in the bag however if you are a canon/Nikon lover don't sell all your equipment just add this to the pile with and adapter and you will do fine.

OMG wow
Absolutely phenomenal camera. This is my 5th Sony mirrorless and 2nd full-frame, and I'm blown away. They've fixed almost everything that I didn't like in previous cameras, resulting in a body that does exactly what it's supposed to - it gets out of the way and lets me focus on taking amazing photos.There's not much to say that isn't already covered in the glowing reviews posted to every camera blog and site. However, I'll add this: It is amazing to take a full-body, landscape-oriented shot, but be able to crop to a headshot and still print 8x10. I wasn't too sold on the extra MP, but the versatility of being able to do obscene levels of cropping has proven useful in many situations.
