Sony Alpha 7R III £3,199/$3,198 (body only)
2 The touchscreen display tilts up and down, but it doesn’t fold out to offer full articulation, so it’s not so good with the camera held vertically.
3 You can move the focus point/zone around with this new multi-selector, and there’s now an AF-On button too.
4 The body is very slightly thicker than the A7R II’s and the grip is deeper, but otherwise the handling feels much the same.

OF course, it was bound to happen.
We knew Sony had the technology to combine high resolution with high-frame rates from the moment it launched the Alpha 99 II, and then Nikon announced the D850, which pulled the same trick.
Some might be disappointed that the sensor resolution is unchanged from the A7R II’s at 42.4 million
