Sony a7 III sample gallery
Sony's much-anticipated a7 III full-frame mirrorless camera is built around a 24MP BSI sensor, and includes many of the features and improvements found in the company's a7R III and a9. We had a chance to shoot with the a7 III at Sony's launch event last night in Las Vegas, and can share our initial impressions.
The samples in this gallery are preliminary JPEG images, though it's worth noting that Sony's JPEG engine is well-evolved. Raw support is not yet available, but we plan to add Raw images to the gallery as soon as that changes.
In a couple of the photos you may notice striping, a problem we've found common to all cameras with masked phase detect AF pixels when shot a certain way: with very fast lenses wide open pointed directly at bright light sources to purposefully induce flare (e.g. here and here). In continued shooting today in the same venue and lighting, we noticed no issues shooting more modest apertures and zoom lenses.
We'll share more impressions of the camera as we continue to shoot with it this week, but for now, click through to see our first samples.

Updates:
- We've re-uploaded those images where EXIF data was inadvertently truncated by the rating/select process. Any comments on the original images are lost, for which we apologize. All gallery images are straight out-of-camera JPEGs.
- The story text has been updated as it previously included reference to a similar but not directly comparable flare issue in other cameras

The new Sony a7 IV offers a range of updates over the popular a7 III, but at a higher introductory price. Are the new features worth the cost of upgrading? In this week's episode of DPRTV, Chris and Jordan get to the bottom of what makes the two cameras different, and which might be right for you.
Sony's latest a7-series model is the most capable yet, but also the most expensive. Is it better than the existing a7 III, and if you already shoot with a Mark III, is it worth upgrading?
Chris and Jordan are taking a well deserved break, so we're bringing you a classic rerun: DPReview TV episode #1. Take a trip in the wayback machine and watch our review of the Sony a7 III.
The Sony a7 III and Fujifilm X-T4 aren't cameras we would normally compare head-to-head. Yet, they're two of the most popular enthusiast models available today. Watch Chris and Jordan duke it out over which one is best.
Planning to treat yourself to a new full-frame camera this holiday season? We compare the Canon EOS R6, Nikon Z6 II, Panasonic S5 and Sony a7 III.
The new Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 sure is tiny and cute, but is it a good choice for Micro Four Thirds users? Our team at DPReview TV has the answers.
It says Olympus on the front, but the OM System OM-1 is about the future, not the past. It may still produce 20MP files, but a quad-pixel AF Stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather sealing show OM Digital Solutions' ambition. See what we thought.
Is the GH6 the best hybrid camera there is? Jordan has been shooting DPReview TV with the Panasonic GH6 for months, so he has plenty of experience to back up his strong opinions.
DJI's Mini series has always been a great entry-level option for beginners, hobbyists, or those willing to sacrifice features for size. But with its newest model, the Mini 3 Pro, DJI promises to bring pro features to its most compact model. Does it succeed?
After waiting over a year, Chris and Jordan finally had a chance to test the new Canon RF 100mm F2.8 L IS Macro. Is this the macro lens to beat?
