![]() ![]() I had a wonderful opportunity to use the Sony a9 in the London Aquatics Centre to really test the camera in action scenarios. Only the more demanding sports and wildlife photographers will need the a9, while landscape and studio photographers will struggle to find a better full-frame camera.Ĭheck out my in-depth hands-on of the Sony a7R III here where I had extended time using the camera in action scenarios. It is the epitome of competence, whatever your genre of photography. The Sony a7R III is not a camera that disappoints, but one that lives up to the very high bar that Sony sets for it. However, now those impressive specifications are increasingly backed up by an equally impressive real-life performance. Sony cameras often promise more than they deliver in real life. The a9, a6500, RX10 IV and now the a7R III. I've been really impressed by Sony’s latest round of mirrorless cameras. In the image quality department, there are tweaks. The a7R III offers fractional image quality improvements over the hard-to-beat a7R II - not in resolution but in dynamic range. Again, video recording is much the same, which is no bad thing - after all Sony is one of the innovators in this field. Handling wise, we have really enjoyed the EVF with its improved resolution and refresh rate, the AF joystick for quick AF point adjustments, the superior battery life and twin card slots. Performance wise, burst shooting, image processing, AF speed and accuracy all appear to be vastly quicker. Where the a7R III really shines over its predecessor is in its overall handling and operational speed. On first impressions, the a7R III does for the mirrorless camera world what the Nikon D850 has done for the DSLR world: create the most competent all-rounder for professionals. It’s a great all-rounder, with high-resolution AND high-speed AND excellent handling. Yet, what is does do, and do it very well, is bring in a multitude of refinements that create the most useable Sony a7 to date. In one regard the a7R III does not feature any headline-grabbing improvements. The Sony a7R III succeeds the a7R II, which is one of the best high-resolution full-frame cameras around. For someone that has tried most photo editing software around, that says a lot. On the flip side, the overall editing part feels a little quicker than most.Īll in all, DxO PhotoLab is very much a viable alternative to Adobe Lightroom and since reviewing the product I have started to use it for my image editing. The biggest downside is the slow pace of image exports. It takes a little more time to work your way around the Customize window and it’s confusing to have the same tools in multiple sub menus (though this can be changed). I love the layout of the Organize and Customize screens, especially tools like the Split Preview. The Auto Mask tool is highly intelligent and a big time saver, while other local adjustments offer all the features you might hope for. As for local adjustments, you wouldn’t know this is the first time that the tool has featured, it is right at home in DxO PhotoLab.
