In this section, we’ll take a closer look at how the Sony A7R III compares with its predecessor and the Nikon D850. That should make an appreciable difference in landscape photos. The most significant improvement of the A7R III’s sensor over the A7R II’s is its dynamic range (Landscape) score - 0.8 EV better, indicating that the new camera can capture a broader range of tones in a single image. So while the A7R III handles low-light situations better and produces images with less noise, the difference isn’t huge. While A7R III’s Sports (Low-Light ISO) score of 3523 is excellent, it’s actually only 0.4 EV higher than that achieved by the Nikon D850. The 0.1 higher dynamic range is also so similar to the new Sony’s that in practical terms, they are the same. In normal shooting conditions, the D850’s 0.4-bit higher Portrait (Color Depth) score is unlikely to be noticed, but it might make a slight difference in image processing. They are beaten only by the medium-format sensors in the Hasselblad X1D-50C and the Pentax 645Z, which take the first and second slots, respectively.Īlthough the D850’s sensor has the same overall score as the A7R III’s, it’s ranked higher because of its better Portrait ( Color Depth) and Landscape (Dynamic Range) scores (we’ll look at this in more detail in the next section). It’s also going to be of huge interest to Sony A7R II users, so we’ll take a look at how the three cameras compare.Ĭlick here to open our interactive DxOMark comparison toolĪs you can see, the Nikon D850, Sony A7R III, and A7R II sensors occupy the third, fourth, and fifth slots in our scoring hierarchy. Image quality comparedĪs it’s a full-frame interchangeable-lens camera with 42.4 million effective pixels, the Sony A7R III is a direct competitor to the 45.7Mp Nikon D850. The size and pixel count of these sensors means that the photoreceptors are in principle significantly bigger than those in the 42Mp A7R III, which gives them an advantage for light gathering and noise control. This is the fourth-highest value we’ve ever recorded - beaten only by the sensors in the medium-format Hasselblad X1D-50C and Pentax 645Z, and by the 12Mp full-frame Sony A7S II.

Naturally, this means that the sub-scores are also very good, and the sensor can indeed capture wide dynamic range with good color, but it’s the Sports ( Low-Light ISO) score that particularly impresses at ISO 3523. This makes it the highest-scoring mirrorless system camera to date, beating the A7R II by two points. The Sony A7R III achieves an overall DxOMark sensor score of 100 points, the same as the Nikon D850.

Other specification highlights include a 5-axis stabilization system that Sony claims gives a 5.5 EV extension to hand-held shutter speeds, and a Pixel Shift Multi Shooting mode that creates a single composite image from four images to provide greater detail. This, combined with the Bionz X processing engine, enables a maximum continuous shooting rate of 10fps with continuous autofocusing and metering.

While the A7R III and A7R II have a backlit sensor with the same pixel count, the Mark III’s sensor is augmented with a front-end LSI that gives it greater processing power and a two-fold increase in the data readout speed. The Sony A7R line is the high- resolution offering, and the 42.4Mp A7R III replaces the A7R II, which itself was the replacement for the original (36Mp) A7R.

Since then, they’ve proven extremely popular and helped Sony win a huge chunk of the interchangeable-lens camera market.

The first cameras in Sony’s Alpha 7-series of mirrorless full- frame cameras were announced in October 2013 and are credited with bringing compact system cameras (CSCs) to the attention of professional photographers.
