It's now been two years since the a7 II series, and we are now greeted by presumably the first of three consecutive releases, the a7R III. The a7R III takes some DNA from the a9 to make for a good successor to the Mark II. Design and Construction At first glance, the a7R III might look exactly like its predecessor. As far as ports go, the a7R III retains the microphone input, headphone output, mini HDMI, and micro USB. Instead of the usual one, the a7R III now brings dual card slots, the first of which supports UHS-II SD cards. The a7R III is noticeably heavier than its predecessor, and is just as hefty. Display and EVF We use an a7R II in our studio for most of our product photos and videos, so we have a clear baseline for evaluating the improvements of the a7R III's display and EVF. The size of the display is the limiting factor of our ability to notice an improvement in clarity, but we can say that the a7R III's display is slightly brighter than the Mark II's, with slightly better contrast.
