Sony a7 III
The α7 III’s operability is enhanced by fast control during shooting, dazzlingly clear views through the Tru-Finder, versatile connectivity, extended shooting endurance from various power sources, plus high durability and resistance to wet and dusty conditions. The α7 III can use a NP-FZ100 battery with approx. 2.2 times as much capacity as a NP-FW50 battery, allowing you to shoot up to approximately 710 photos with one full charge. The BC-QZ1 optional battery charger allows quicker charging than charging via USB. With two media slots, including one that's UHS-II-compatible for fast data writing, the α7 III can simultaneously or relay record, separate RAW/JPEG data and stills/movies, and copy data between cards. USB 3.1 Gen1 compatible USB Type-C port makes high-speed PC Remote data transfer smooth and effortless, for handling large image files that are produced using PC-tethered shooting.
