Sony A7III in Stock at BuyDig (new review at Admiringlight)

Share

A limited Stock of A7III bodies is now in Stock at BuyDig (Click here).

And Jordan Steele from Admiringlight published his full A7III review:

While the A7 III is by no means a flawless camera, it gets so much right that any minor flaws are extremely easy to live with.
When you look at the positives, the list of them is extremely long and varied.
The A7 III gains one of the very best autofocus systems in any camera, with nearly the same capabilities as the more expensive A9. The EyeAF functionality is outstanding, and the overall responsiveness of the camera is on a very high level. The new image sensor sees gains in almost every area, with outstanding low-light performance and excellent dynamic range and color response. Add in the excellent Sony feature set, improved ergonomics, the focus joystick, an expansive viewfinder, 10 fps shooting and a deep buffer and the A7 III becomes that rare beast: a jack of all trades that is a master of most.

When you look at the whole package and the modest $1,998 price tag, the A7 III also becomes an exceptional value.

Sony A7III in USA at Adorama, BHphoto, Amazon,  BestBuy, FocusCamera, BuyDig.
Sony a7III in Europe at Amazon DE, Calumet Germany, Amazon UK, ParkCameras UK, WexUK, Amazon FR, Amazon IT, Amazon ES.

Daniel: “Since i helped a little with the design i have a pre-production version of smallrig’s new L-bracket that is designed with 20mm height and did a long first look/walk around. The design goal was to revolve the pinky problem and better ergo. They still have pre-sales going for $41 total. My videos are low production so not sure if you want to share but thats ok.

Phase One announced the world’s first camera using the new Sony 100 Megapixel back-illuminated sensor!

Share

Phase One announced the new iMX industrial/drone camera. What’s cool on this thing is that it’s the world’s first camera using the new Sony 100Megapixel backilluminated 44x33mm sensor!
Fuji, Hasselblad and Pentax will use this sensor on their future cameras too. And maybe Sony will launch an RX camera with that sensor too? Me dreaming :)

There are no image samples yet but these are the sensor specs:
