The camera features several advancements over the previous model, the α7 II, incorporating some features from the higher-end α7R III and α9.[6]
The Sony α7 III improved in a number of aspects compared to its predecessor, the α7 II, which was released four years earlier in November, 2014.
The camera's rounded feature set and launch price were highly praised. Reviewers noted it as a flexible and competitive tool for all types of photography.[6][7][8][9][10]
The Sony A7 III does not have a vertical AA filter, it only has a horizontal one. It improves sharpness, but also creates a visible amount of moiré on clothes and hair.[11]
