Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog concluded:
The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-F5.6 Di III RXD is a high quality superzoom that will suit all people who want to travel light with only one zoom while keeping high quality
It will be at ease without any issues on 24 and 42Mpix, it even supports the 61Mpix in the majority of the cases
Of course like all superzoom there are compromise:
F5.6 at 200mm which makes it less suited for low light focusing at the long end
7 apertures blades and bokeh with onion rings
Little degradation of performance at 200mm
Some flare sensitivity
But overall images are rendered vary naturally, with very good colors, very nice blurry background and very good to excellent sharpness at all focal lengths. AF is fast and accurate , price is reasonable and lens stay compact
Compared to the Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-F6.3, it is night and day , the Sony version was just decent on 24Mpix but was not at all at ease on 42Mpix and AF was not very good
Highly recommended if you one one unique travel zoom
Pro’s
Very good to excellent sharpness in the centre from 28 to 135mm
Reasonable price (870 euros)
Small and light for a all in one zoom
Very fast and accurate AF
Very low CA
Very short minimum focusing distance (19cm @28mm – 80cm @200mm)
Moderate vignetting and distorsion but will be corrected with a Lightroom lens profile soon
Average
Build quality : quite good but feel a bit plastic
Resistance to flare
AF at 200mm in low light due to F5.6 aperture
Sharpness at 200mm
Con’s
Corners sharpness
Only starts at 28mm
Bokeh balls shows onion rings and the 7 blades of the aperture

First of all I can now confirm that obviously the new camera will be named Sony A7sIII. Some speculated it might have a new name or jump a generation from Sony A7II to Sony A7IV. Well it’s not :)
New 12MP sensor:
It is a new 12MP sensor with fast readout. So no fancy global shutter :)
No overheating no recording time limit:
As you see from the official graph on top (thanks Jeff Ratcliffe) the Canon EOS-R5 has two kinds of limits:
The past hours three Sony A7sII successor testers made it clear the Sony A7sII successor will not have such limitations:
“A7sii successor will not have any recording time limits”
No overheating limitations and no default recording time limit of 29m59secs. So if it comes to professional video use the Sony A7sIII will surely outperform the Canon.

Here is Lok’s take on the new lens:
And also Photographyblog posted their full lens review:
Despite offering a world-beating combination of F2.8 and 12-24mm, it’s still incredibly light, compact and most importantly very high quality indeed.
