The Sony α7R III (model ILCE-7RM3)[1] is a full frame mirrorless camera manufactured by Sony. It was announced on 25 October 2017 as the successor to the Sony α7R II launched two years prior. The camera shares many features with the α7R II, including the same 42.2 MP resolution for still photography.

Improvements over α7R II

Several improvements were made compared to the α7R II, including the following[1]:

  • Improved dynamic range due to lower noise in sensor readout
  • 425 contrast-detect autofocus points, up from 25 in the α7R II
  • Altered button layout reminiscent of the α9
  • Improved autofocus performance
  • Improved battery life due to larger battery
  • Dual SD card slots, compared to a single slot in the α7R II. However, the slots do not exactly match. One is an SD-only slot that fully exploits UHS-II technology. The other is a slower UHS-I slot that also supports Sony's legacy Memory Stick Duo cards.
  • Improved shutter mechanism to reduce shutter-induced shake
  • Pixel shift multi-shot mode that combines exposures taken on each subpixel of the Bayer filter, improving overall image quality
