The camera also provides pixel shift mode, where it takes four sequential shots in half a second using sensor-shifting image stabilizer and thereby allows capturing a full pixel picture rather than reconstructing colors and then using software to get accurate range of colors.

Next comes the HLG feature, Hybrid-log-gamma which maps a video to broadest tonal range for HDR.

Sony Competes with other brands

A7R III competes with Canon’s 5D the Mark IV .The Canon’s camera has slightest higher resolution LCD touch screen and that’s all in its favour. The A7R III helps us capture photos faster with highly stabilised, high resolution sensor. Its ability of silent shooting and ability to shoot without image blackout make it unique in the list of mirror less cameras.

In the market, mirror-less cameras do not provide as much as portability or advantage. With the decrease in size, the efficiency of cameras decreases. But mirror-less cameras as big as the Sony’s A7R III has many advantages in performance and features over Canon and other brands.

Sony’s camera replaced Nikon for a second position in the photography world and now the question arises so as who can replace Sony in this league.
