Sony Alpha 7 III Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera (24.2MP)

The Sony Alpha 7 III takes the top spot in this guide to full-frame mirrorless cameras, and it does so for an unusual reason: it is the only one of the nine listings where the headline figures survive contact with the small print. The title claims 24.2MP. The spec sheet lists an Effective Still Resolution of 24.2 MP and a Photo Sensor Size of Full Frame (35mm). The same 24.2 MP figure turns up a third time under Rear Webcam Resolution. The 1,265 ratings behind the 4.6 out of 5 are one number, not two, and the £1,199.00 price sits on its own line without a contradictory figure next to it.

It is not an immaculate listing. The Form Factor field reads "Spiegellos", which is German for mirrorless, and Exposure Control is given simply as "Automatic" on a camera with a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 seconds and a minimum of 30 seconds. But nothing here contradicts anything else, which is more than can be said for most of the cameras ranked below it. Everything on this page — price, specifications and review count — comes from the Amazon listing itself, not from any testing we have carried out.
