The Sony Alpha a7R III
Focus:
This camera employs a newly updated Fast Hybrid AF system, which offers a fast focus with its 399 phase detection points covering 68% of the frame. Also, 425 contrast detection points ensure accuracy in subject tracking to provide a quicker autofocus performance than previous a7R models. The focusing system also delivers fast low light response down to -3 EV. You can boost the camera's ISO sensitivity up to 102400 in extended mode. The shutter speed can be increased up to 1/8000th of a second to take clear shots of fast-moving objects.
Sensor & Screen:
Sensor:
This mirrorless camera is fitted with a 42.4 MP full-frame Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor that brings out small nuances in the picture to make it vibrant. It has a gapless on-chip lens design and an anti-reflection coating. The omission of a low-pass filter ensures enhanced detail and light collection.
Screen:
The camera allows you to shoot from a high or low angle with its 3-inch, 1440K dot tilting touchscreen LCD. Alternatively, you can use the OLED Tru-Finder that gives a 3.69m-dot view of the scene with 0.78× magnification. You get a 100% screen coverage with both LCD and electronic viewfinder.
