Dpreview added the A7rIII to their Studio Comparison Tool. SAR readers are welcome to discuss their findings. Seems like the A7rIII has more chromatic aberration and bit more sharpness than the previous A7rII. Noise handling seems to be improved too (Note the Canon in this comparison only goes up to 12800 ISO):

Winston: “I thought you may be interested in my relaunched blog – wmlsays.wordpress.com (my winstonllamas.com domain redirects to that URL). I am an amateur who enjoys photography as a hobby. I will normally post pictures that I take along with writeups. No equipment review, just pictures and short about the pictures. I don’t discuss techniques, but you may find some of my ruminations useful. Just photography from an amateur’s point of view.”

“The Sony A7r3 is coming, and it feels like an important iterative upgrade over the A7r2. After trying it, it should purely be an update around increasing your productivity, with a better AF, 10FPS, longer battery life, dual SD card and a better grip. On the image quality side, it is hard to justify upgrading to the A7r3. The image quality is so similar to the A7r2 that I was not – with the current Camera RAW processor – able to find any differences. Pixel shift may seems like a good feature, but it requires a software to edit the file. No – the camera won’t do the stitching for you. You cannot see the result right away – I think it is a big limiting factor, especially for outdoors/landscape photography. Also the lack of playmemories software might be a limiting factor for those who were relying on apps. On the other side, I was really impressed by the 24-105mm, the file won’t resolve 42mp, but still – this may be the first decent all around lens for the Sony A7/A9 series.
P.S.: I also uploaded a quick Slow motion video of the two shutters: https://youtu.be/7L1B1WqZTmU.”
