My new camera!

Just got the camera the other day, and i must say from just playing with it for a few days it's a absolutely great camera. Filled with great features for both cinematic and still photography. This camera will for sure force Canon and Nikon to up their game.

Key Stats:
Sensor24MP 35mm Fullframe Exmor R CMOS
Battery lifeRated at aprox 660 stills
Iso Range50-204800
Stils per secound10 fps
Film capabilities4K 24 fps 60-100 Mb/s , 1080p 24-120 fps 16-100 Mb/s
Focus points693 points

The first thing i can say about this camera is that it feels great in my hands. An ergonomic build with a deep groove for a tight grip make it an ease to handle. On the back it has a 2.95 inch touch screen which can be tilted out to help you to take photos in awkward positions. To set your focus area you could use the touch screen and easily by taping the spot you want to focus on, or by using the joystick to the right of the screen. If you wish to use the viewfinder it has a 2.6 million dots 1.3 OLED screen, which is a lifesaver if you are out in the sun and want to check if you got all your pictures in focus.

The lense i got with this camera is the 24-70mm f/2.8 FE GM that i will review another time.

This camera will get a lot of use this spring /summer

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I have been using sony for a long time. really excellent quality.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thats nice to hear, for me this was the perfect camera option.

Ughhhhh wanting to have that camera for so long.... Actually, I didnt own one camera in my entire life.. So lucky to have that camera @thestig.... Also liking that lit shots that you posted above...just WOW

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you so much! If you want an all round great camera with amazing features for film and still pictures the Sony A7III got the best of both worlds.

All pictures are outstanding..But the picture with leg is the best one...i rather say great one. And i have really no knowledge about Camera but it seems good.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you for the positive comment! I still have lots to learn in photography but it's fun to see the work improve day by day.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Congrats on your new camera πŸ‘Š My heart is aching for one of these so badly. Probably the best valued full frame option by far in 2018. Jeez I want one 😫

Edit - And just noticed you're a dronie ...A7 iii + drones and you've got my follow. What are you flying btw?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you @steemmeupscotty! Hahah jee at this time best value for sure πŸ‘Œ Yes i am a dronie! got a phantom 4 pro with me at all time 😎 So keep your eyes open drone content is coming πŸ™Œ

Nice! I've a Mavic Pro .. haven't posted any drone shots yet on steemit but will be for sure. Btw .. there's a drone photo contest I came across yesterday. Here's the link https://steemit.com/theflyingphotographer/@hadimemories/the-flying-photographer-contest-photo-and-video-drone-week-5-theme-building#@steemmeupscotty/re-hadimemories-re-steemmeupscotty-re-hadimemories-the-flying-photographer-contest-photo-and-video-drone-week-5-theme-building-20180427t115906782z

The Stig's definitely got some Top Gear ;)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Sweet the mavic pro is such a handy size for a drone, with the phantom 4 i always need a backpack for dragging it around.. Hahah 10/10 great pun sir! 😁

Yup - It's a pretty new purchase and I'm getting such a kick out of exploring its potential, and you're right..it's such a handy size. No regrets so far :)

The pics look great for sure, I'm searching for a new camera myself. My old Nikon D300s is about to break down. So your review is a great help. But first I have to save the money for it ...

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you! I upgraded from my old canon 400d, so i think you would get the same great experience as me.

Resolution looks fantastic. Thanks for the quick review! I'll go play with one as well now.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you! You do thatπŸ‘Œ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

the Japanese are just the best for building cameras

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

That is for sure πŸ˜ƒ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

very beautiful photos, keep on working

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you! i will.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks! πŸ‘

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Hello, @thestig. I'm really impressed with the image quality of your camera. Those last 2 pics say a lot. Nice compositions. But really, the ISO Range of it is out of the charts! Incredible!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you sir! Yeah the iso is amazing up to 12500 and still quite good quality. Gonna test it some more in low lights and maybe do a post about it πŸ‘

Glad I ran into this post. How much is the camera going for in the U.S.?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Se ve que tomas las fotos espectacular 😍 y es hermosaaaa

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks @coquiunlimited! In the US you can get the camera body for $2000, and be sure to check ebay/ amazon for a good price on lenses πŸ‘Œ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

really cool bro !!! the device specification is really at the god level
i want to have this device soon after having money from steemit LOL

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks bro! That is something i would 100% recommend you to do, the quality is soo worth it!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Recuerda que no es la cΓ‘mara quien tiene la particular visiΓ³n creativa, es tu ojo, sensibilidad y capacidad para realizar la mejor fotografΓ­a posible. Hace unos aΓ±os, estuve en un museo donde un fotΓ³grafo NorteΓ‘mericano, realizaba una exposiciΓ³n con una cΓ‘mara Diana, de material plΓ‘stico. Me gustaron tus fotografΓ­as @thestig y la cΓ‘mara tambiΓ©n. Un abrazo.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Muchas gracias @billo, muy apreciado!

My dream camera 😍😍😍

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you @appleskie πŸ˜€ can absolutely recommend it!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

The photos are so sharp. Your camera can capture a lot of details. Congratulation for your new camera, Sony AIII. I wish I had one.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you so much for that, try to set off a little money monthly and all of the sudden you can get one as well πŸ˜€

Hi @thestig πŸ“·

As a huge fan of Sony mirrorless 7 line cameras I was waiting for the article like this on steemit. ♨️ Your article are great and very interesting with lot of information about this fantastic camera. The photos from camera are great and the last photo with little tree has beautiful smooth bokeh. I reed lot of review and seems like the best full frame camera on the market so far. I plan to buy a7II which is the previous model as a good value for money compromise, but in the future I would definitely like to have Sony a7 mark III too, when the prices drop a little. I looking for more posts about this camera and more quality photos. πŸ‘πŸ»

See you soon...

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you so much for your comment @romanriviera! πŸ‘ Got to love the sony mirrorless cameras. I see you can get the a7II for an amazing price these days, quality for the price is amazing. And with Sigma soon releasing 9 art lenses native for Sony E-mount we are starting to get quite a good selection of lenses to choose from.

Planing to continue with more post like this one, so keep your eyes open πŸ˜ƒ

It is so smooth <3

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you! πŸ˜€

No worries. You deserve it! :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Buena cΓ‘mara @thestig, pero mejor tu ojo fotogrΓ‘fico, recordando siempre que la misma, es una extensiΓ³n del ojo. Me agradaron las imΓ‘genes expuestas a travΓ©s de tu nuevo juguete. Mil felicitaciones y te estarΓ© siguiendo con mucha atenciΓ³n.

Thank you! Your comment is much appreciated.

really good piece of tech!
I am planning ti buy a camera too. How did you decide to go for this one specifically? Would you recommend any article to narrow the selection? Whether it is sony or not?

Great pictures by the way! I am starting on photography too. Ive done some drone footage :) check them out when you have time. I am also following you now

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Hey @danphotography! Sorry for the super late reply, just saw your comment. What got me to buy the a7III was all the great features. Auto focus system from the a9, 1080 120fps slow motion, amazing 4k, dual memorycard slot, very good low light capabilities. And since it is a mirrorless camera you got the electronic viewfinder. This and more got me to get the a7III. This is great value for the money in my mind.

My tips for you is to first decide what features are important for you. Then star to go deep into each camera brand and see what they can deliver. YouTube and google is your best friend to see the camera in use. Then go to a camera store to see how it feels in your hands before you decide.

Thank you! Sweet the more the merrier, steemit seems to have a great photography community. I will check out your drone footage for sure :) Thanks for the follow, gonna follow you back.
