This camera got low megapixel. For this price I rather get the ar7iv
The A7s series are for video shooters.

That's bad when the camera was just announced.
It's bad because Sony and BH wants to give a break to students?

I'm glad I searched for a7s III here on SD. I wasn't even going to bother since it's a brand new camera that hasn't even been released yet, of course there wouldn't be any deals yet... Glad to see I was wrong.

I had actually already placed my pre-order the minute pre-orders opened. I tried to place a second order to get the EDU discount, but I got a message saying that there was a problem with my payment method. Turns out I didn't have enough credit left because of the first order. I was able to quickly request a credit increase and the payment went through. $3,161.88 out the door with $13.68 for overnight shipping and using the Payboo card.

If you're shooting video there are no better options under $15,000; if you're shooting photos, look elsewhere. This is a camera specifically made for video.

For stills A7iii is a no brainer, even A7riii for that matter. They have been on sale for under $2k. But if you have the patience I'd strongly wait for the A7iv, i feel (Speculation of course ) it will have best of both worlds like Flipping screen, 4K 60p 4:2:2 and the new menu system, better EVF/screen and still large enough pixels for decent low light

this is a video camera first. Hence the S, the R stands for resolution. If you want both then maybe the R5 is for you? that has a high MP count and great video

Damn I didnt think of that! it would def compete with the canon r6 and i think it would be a better buy because of price.

This is the no compromise videography camera. You can shoot unlimited 4k at 120fps without ever overheating. The reason for low megapixel count is that when doing pixel calculation, the camera processor can do 1 to 1 calculation unlike the other high megapixel cameras which has to recalculate from a smaller part of the sensor to convert to video. It also give you better ISO performance in low light.

If you need a high end video camera, this is the best. Hands down
If you are big in to astro video/photo, this is the best. Hands down.
If you need a hybrid but don't need 4k@60p, the A7iii or A7riii or A6600
If you don't need video, A7iii or A6600 or A6400/6100 (NO IBIS)
If you MUST have 4k@60p AND take a ton of pictures AND don't mind overheating AND don't mind a recording limit of 30 minutes or less per clip AND have $$$$... the Canon A5

Pick up the Tamron 28-75 lens for cheap and it's all you need.
