Test Drive the New Sony a7R III

I am giving the new Sony a7RIII a test drive for the next couple of weeks. This is one serious full-frame 42.4 megapixel mirrorless camera.

You can read the full specs on this amazing camera on the Sony website. It is hard to even summarize some of the biggest highlights because there are so many, and frankly what will matter most to you will depend on the type of photography you are doing. It has features that will serve any photographer.

I have used DSLR’s for years. One thing’s for sure, it would be a mistake to overlook some of the new mirrorless cameras coming on the market and the Sony a7RIII is particularly noteworthy as a top contender for the serious hobbyist or pro photographer.

Anyway, on my first day with this amazing camera, I was in my studio shooting some sample images for my Water Droplet Photography Workshop.

I was using this camera with the Sony 24-105 f/4 OSS lens for this project. It was particularly useful for my water droplet photography since is offers a minimum focusing distance of only 14.9″!

This Sony a7RIII did an excellent job with this test project. I used a couple of off-camera flashes using Sony’s Radio Control Wireless Commander and two Wireless Receivers to capture water droplets.

Here are the results! Stay tuned for other results from my “test drive” of the Sony a7RIII.
