And Jordan Steele from Admiringlight published his full A7III review:
While the A7 III is by no means a flawless camera, it gets so much right that any minor flaws are extremely easy to live with.
When you look at the positives, the list of them is extremely long and varied.
The A7 III gains one of the very best autofocus systems in any camera, with nearly the same capabilities as the more expensive A9. The EyeAF functionality is outstanding, and the overall responsiveness of the camera is on a very high level. The new image sensor sees gains in almost every area, with outstanding low-light performance and excellent dynamic range and color response. Add in the excellent Sony feature set, improved ergonomics, the focus joystick, an expansive viewfinder, 10 fps shooting and a deep buffer and the A7 III becomes that rare beast: a jack of all trades that is a master of most.When you look at the whole package and the modest $1,998 price tag, the A7 III also becomes an exceptional value.

I have little doubt the new Tamron 28-75mm FE lens will deliver high image quality. But the big unknown until today was…how good (or bad) will be its autofocus performance compared to the Sony 24-70mm GM lens?
Well today we got the first answer! Our reader Marcell just spotted this first autofocus test video:
Of course we have to see more in-depth videos to draw a final conclusion…but so far it seems to work pretty well!
We got two big news: First, Chris and Jordan left TheCameraStore to work for Dpreview (Full article here). Second, their first review for Dpreview is for the new Sony A7III:

CameraSize added the new Tamron 28-75mm FE lens on their size comparison database. As you can see the 28-75mm is much more compact than the GM lens. But the trade off is you loose 4mm at the wide end.
The new Tamron lens has the potential to be a hotseller. So let’s see how many of our readers will actually buy it:

Dpreview published their full A7III review. The camera earned the Gold Award:
Put simply, the Sony a7 III is a new benchmark for full frame cameras due to its compelling combination of value and capability – and the fact that this series of cameras has come so far in less than five years is impressive in its own right. For around the same price as an ‘entry-level’ full frame camera in 2012 and 2013, the a7 III offers speed for the sports shooter, autofocus accuracy for the portraitist, dynamic range for the landscape photographer and low light image quality for the couple at a candlelit dinner. And don’t forget about the best video quality and feature set this side of a dedicated cinema rig.
That’s not to say that in hours of testing and scrutiny, we didn’t find some things we would like to change. Hardcore DSLR users will grumble about lagginess in the user interface. Stopped-down focusing continues to frustrate. The a7 III’s chart-topping video quality is let down by disappointing video autofocus tracking. We know the weather sealing isn’t top of class, and yes, we know there are occasional artifacts caused by the phase detection pixels that feed the on-sensor autofocus system (but please, we implore you, read the image quality section on this matter before commenting).
But in almost every situation we put the camera through, whether shooting soccer, engagement portrait sessions, birthdays or friends’ headshots, we couldn’t help but be impressed with how easy it was to get great images with the a7 III. And while the asking price won’t be attainable for everyone, the Sony stands above many peers that sell for the same or similar prices. For that, it earns our highest award.
Yes, I also do think the A7III is the technically most well-rounded Sony E-mount camera ever made. Time to buy one and join our A7III facebook group to share your best pics :)
