While this camera was a no-brainer four years ago, the current offerings from Nikon and Panasonic with RAW recording and frequent firmware updates, including ARRI log, along with Nikon’s acquisition of RED, make me hesitant to recommend this camera. Despite previously owning it multiple times, I ended up reselling it each time. Presently, I am using a BMPCC 6K Pro because of BRAW. RAW codecs are the future, and this camera’s lack of updates might relegate it to a novelty collector’s item in 2-3 years. I recommend the Nikon Z8 over the Sony A7S3 now.

First off I’m coming from a a7iii so moving down to 12 mp I was pretty worried but let me tell you unless you are doing heavy cropping this camera is insane it takes even better low light photos, so on the photography side of things don’t worry because this camera is delivers. Now for video this camera is mind blowing and most importantly the reliability is a must have for me and it doesn’t disappoint, also being able to charge the camera with a usb c to a power bank is awesome. 9 outa 10 for me.

This camera is everything I’ve dreamed of as a content creating video machine. I run a YouTube channel and my old A7III and A6600 always had limitations. The A7SIII just does EVERYTHING and it does everything well. Never overheats even when shooting 4K 120P. The stabilization with “Active” turned on is really good… This camera is just mind blowing. Working with the XAVC-I footage is a breeze even on a mid-grade laptop. If you’re on the fence about buying something cheaper like an A7III… I’d save up and get the A7SIII. It’s going to be my workhorse for years to come

Spectacular camera. I bought it to shoot videos and wasn’t expecting the photos to be any good, honestly, but even the quality of the pictures are incredible. Of course when you crop it doesn’t look as good as the original because of the low MP count, but to me that’s not a problem. I’ve been shooting Canon for a while and it amazed me how sharp the image of the sony is. Definitely recommend if you want a beast of a camera for low light shooting and amazing dynamic range.
