For over 3 years now, the Sony A7III has been a favorite among many photographers looking for that elusive sweet spot (so to speak) of a full-frame camera system that shoots both excellent photos and 4K video.For many, the Sony A7III hits that sweet spot and continues to dominate the charts. When it comes to an all-rounder, a camera that takes great photos and great videos, you can't leave the a7III off your list.
Personally, I'm a big fan of course horses. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a camera that tries to do everything and therefore does nothing best.This can be a handicap when things come to a close.
I always tried to choose the best camera when I wanted and when I needed to shoot videos, I chose the best video camera I could afford.So for me the Sony A7III is like a middle ground because it's not the best when it comes to video shooting and there are better cameras out there.But that is a subjective statement.

Since there are thousands of photographers, both professionals and amateurs, who would like a camera that can do it all, the Sony A7III is a great choice. I can't disagree with that.
There are several types of filters, for example: CP, UV, ND and ND/PL. Each type of filter is used for a different purpose, and when deciding which one to take on your next photography project, it's a good idea to know which type of filter it's used for.
CP: The CP, or circular polarizing filter, allows you to capture the vibrancy and contrast of the image. These polarizing characteristics not only enhance the colors of your image, but also reduce glare and reflections in your photo or video.

UV: When shooting outdoors, UV can affect image quality in a variety of ways. For example, UV light shows up in the form of haze – this haze can rob an image of detail, especially at longer distances with a longer focal length. As a result, cumulative cloud densities can significantly soften the sharp details of distant images. There is a lot of debate among photographers as to whether they actually benefit their workflow, but in our opinion, it never hurts to have an extra line of defense against potential damage.
ND: An ND filter, or neutral filter, is used to limit the amount of light that is able to reach the camera's sensor. As a result, these filters allow you to very easily control the exposure in your image and prevent you from having to overextend using camera settings such as ISO, aperture or white balance. ND filters also help keep the camera shutter open longer and achieve long exposure shots, the milky effect of water and also show the movement of clouds in the sky.
ND/PL: The ND/PL filter combines the features of two popular filter types, the neutral and circular polarizing filter. These filters are used to achieve smooth, clean photos or videos at slower shutter speeds with improved contrast and color saturation. Unlike direct ND filters, which usually have a neutral color profile, ND/PL filters provide greater color saturation due to the polarization effect.

Another type of filter is a variable neutral density or VND filter. VND is a type of ND filter that combines multiple filters into one. For example, instead of only being able to capture 3 apertures of light with a single ND filter, you can capture a range of apertures by physically rotating the filter to control the amount of light that is let in. In other words, a variable ND filter combines multiple filter elements into one, eliminating the hassle of carrying multiple filters with you when you're on location. Here at PolarPro, we've teamed up with one of the industry's greatest creators, Peter McKinnon, to create the highest quality VND filter on the market. Like our QuartzLine filters, the Peter McKinnon Variable ND filter is made from our quartz glass technology, which allows for increased durability and reliable accessories for the Sony a7iii on any rugged adventure. Our Peter McKinnon Variable ND Filter is available in 2-5 and 6-9 foot options, making it easy to adapt to any outdoor environment.
The 35mm full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor features 24.2 megapixels, back-illumination and a gap-free lens-on-chip design for exceptional sensitivity and dynamic range. Twice the data reading speed is achieved using copper wires and front-end LSI.
Improved image processing system
The combination of a new generation image processing system and a new sensor achieves an improvement in image quality of up to 1.5 stops12. A wide ISO sensitivity range up to ISO 51200 is standard and approx. a dynamic range of up to 15 feet13 is realized at low sensitivity settings. Enhanced detail reproduction and area-specific noise reduction combine to suppress noise while maintaining a high overall definition feel. Color reproduction, especially of skin and nature scenes, has also been significantly improved. The α7 III also supports 14-bit RAW output, even during silent/burst shooting.
Wider and faster AF performance
The α9's advanced image processing system and AF algorithms optimized for the α7 III improve AF speed, accuracy and tracking performance. 693 phase-detection AF points and 425 contrast-detection AF points provide high-density wide-angle coverage. AF speed improved up to 2x and more accurate AF tracking let you capture and maintain focus on a fast-moving subject in unpredictable motion. The α7 III also autofocuses reliably up to EV-3 brightness.
New AF-ON button and multi-function dial
The new AF-ON button activates autofocus without any focus sequence by pressing the shutter button, so you can better focus on exactly when to pull the shutter and capture the moment instantly. The multi-function selector allows you to move the focus point quickly and efficiently. You can select and move the focus point intuitively, so you won't miss great opportunities to photograph moving subjects.

Eye AF now supports an AF-C mode with greater accuracy that dramatically improves portrait photography, plus a faster AF speed that makes it easier to capture a portrait of a moving subject, even if the subject is looking down and away from the camera or is backlit. face in partial darkness. The α7 III supports Eye AF for A-mount lenses mounted with an adapter.
AF tracking sensitivity when shooting is adjustable in five steps for subjects that move outside the focus area. AF areas and points remain the same or change when switching between horizontal and vertical orientation depending on the shooting situation. AF area registration allows frequently used focus point settings to be stored in memory and assigned to custom buttons for quick and convenient one-touch recall whenever needed.
