The Sony A7iii

I recently purchased a Sony A7iii to replace my Nikon D300. So far I’ve been blown away by what I’m getting from the Sony. Part of this is undoubtedly due to the jump from a dx sized sensor to full frame.

Shooting

Shooting with the A7 has been a pleasure so far. One thing I’m really impressed by is the finder eye detection. Its been 100% reliable for me automatically switching between the EVF and LCD.

Editing

I’m current editing my photos in Lightroom cloud and its been a decent workflow so far. I like the ability to continue editing on my phone or tablet if I want and its relatively easy to share from Lightroom mobile.

Video

I haven’t shot any video yet but that’s one thing I’m looking forward to, especially compared to the Nikon. The D300 is limited to 720p and a length of 5 minutes compared to the A7 which shoots in 6k and downsamples to 4k and is limited to 30 minutes per session. My understanding of the time limit is it’s there to avoid taxes on video cameras.
