Thankfully, the touchscreen offers full touch function, including focusing and navigating the user interface.ДЄ simple touch can activate the highly effective tracking AF, while the all-new menu system can be explored by responsive touch and swipe controls. It is now possible to connect the monitor directly to the A7S III via the full-size HDMI port and Sony includes a basic protective bracket designed to fit around those cables when attached.

However, it is bright in almost any lighting condition and subject tracking AF is very reliable so you may not need to look too closely to check for sharp focusing.ДЄctive filmmakers will still want an external monitor, not least of which to increase the display size.ДЄnother plus is that 16-bit RAW data output can be made via an external recorder, up to 60fps. Sony has implemented a 3-inch, 1.44-million-dot vari-angle touchscreen for the first time in an A7 camera.Д¬uriously, the Sony logo features meaning it is upside down when the screen is flipped out to the side of the camera (remember the first-gen Apple laptops?) but those aesthetics are fixed with the screen in selfie mode.Дespite being a video-centric camera the A7S III's display is a 4:3 aspect ratio, meaning it is not maximised for 16:9 and it does feel small. Overall, we can't think of any specific layout changes that we'd like to see. Any shortcuts for controls on a camera like this are welcome. There are plenty of custom buttons too which become increasingly useful as you grow to know the Alpha 7S III and what it is capable of. We really like the tactile touchpad on the rear, used mainly for navigating the autofocus area, plus the large AF-ON button is conveniently placed just above, right by where your thumb naturally rests. Exposure compensation can also be changed via the menu provided the dial is set to 0. On the top there's a shooting mode dial, twin exposure dials plus an exposure compensation dial, although there is no top LCD. No fans, no overheating, unlimited video recording times in any resolution - we've seen that's no given in other well publicised cases.Д¬ontrols are set out logically. It also features a new 'heat dissipation' design. The body has improved sealing so it can be counted upon in adverse conditions. We had the weighty Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens attached to the camera for this test, yet thanks to a generous handgrip the Alpha 7S III feels very comfortable to hold.

Its magnesium alloy body only weighs 699g with battery and memory card installed. Ease of UseДЇor such a feature-rich camera, the Sony A7S III remains impressively compact. And once you have set it up for your shooting needs, it's possibly our favourite Alpha 7 camera to use so far. It may not satisfy the resolution junkies for video or photography, but crucially the reality of the Alpha 7S III is that does the job it promises to do for both disciplines, with no apparent side effects.ДЄnd despite a higher launch price of ВЈ3,800 / $3,500, the Sony A7S III offers reasonable value considering what it is capable of. The list goes on and we haven't even got onto the performance, namely Sony's renowned autofocus.Д«eyond the spec sheet, we are happy to report that our hopes have been met in reality - the A7S III is technically complete, lacking in no areas. Standout improvements include a seemingly unlimited 10-bit 4K video up to 120fps, the new vari-angle touchscreen and bright EVF, higher capacity battery with on-the-go USB-C charging, dual card slot accepting both SD and Sony's new CF Express Type A cards, a new menu layout, tactile touchpad and full-size HDMI output.

There's been an overhaul in almost every area of the Alpha A7SIII camera. Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera is aimed squarely at filmmakers, but it is also a highly capable low-light and action shooter for photography provided the limited 12.1 megapixel resolution doesn't put you off.

The new video-centric Sony A7S III represents a comprehensive upgrade from its five-year-old predecessor.

Anticipation could hardly have been greater, but the wait was worth it.
